My Costar makes things official

Filming resumes, the dust settles enough for the media to leave them alone. Faster than Yao Shen expects, they finish shooting the drama. They come up with a convoluted scene in which Rong Zi becomes disfigured to justify the mask the actor who substitutes Gao Wu uses.

Speculation online about the fate of the drama rages on, with many guessing it won't pass review after being embroiled in so many scandals.

Yao Shen has no way to guess either way, and it will be several months of post-production before that's relevant. 

In the meantime, Xin Hulei announces his retirement. 

He posts the announcement on his official weibo account, marking one of the first times he has written anything besides an official announcement sent over from his agency.

Yao Shen is with him as they read through the reactions of his disgruntled fans.
