The crowd flocked to Weibo, only to find that two minutes ago, the official Weibo account of My Style magazine had updated their status.
—— [@MyStyle: #XiangYiXShiSuiJuneMagazineCover
“I’ve waited a thousand years just to meet you. The mass is not proportional to the volume. She attracts me with a mass that far exceeds that of the EARTH, and I want to plunge into hell together with her. However, I saw a star at the end of the endless abyss.”
@ShiSui @XiangYi Edition A “Obsessed” is for the ladies, and Edition B “Immersed” is for the gentlemen. Please look forward to the physical copy of the magazine, Shackled to the Morning Star!]
…
At the bottom of the post, there were also three pre-order links, two of which were for the electronic issues of the magazine and the other for the physical copy. The sales would begin at 12 pm sharp.
MS Magazine’s usual practice was to sell one electronic issue and one physical issue. This time, they launched a ladies’ edition and a gentlemen’s edition, which drew flak and angered countless netizens.
—— [Are you that crazy about money??]
—— [Damn it, what kind of an unscrupulous magazine house is this?]
—— [They keep claiming to make things affordable for fans, but do they think we fans are fools? We’re not pushovers who will allow them to rip us off!]
However, someone figured out something.
—— [Are the photos in the three versions the same? If they are the same, it doesn’t seem reasonable for them to sell the same photo thrice, right?]
The question was soon answered by the official account of Weibo.
—— [Dear, the photos featured in all three versions are different! Each set of photos has its focus! *cute* *cute*]
In an instant…
Those who knew immediately understood what it meant!
Apart from the magazine cover, there were also individual interviews with Xiang Yi and Shi Sui with several photos attached.
The male edition probably contained more photos of Shi Sui.
On the other hand, the female edition probably contained more photos of Xiang Yi.
The physical issue probably contained more photos of the both of them.
Thus, the fans could choose which one to buy according to their preferences.
In a sense, it can also be considered a personalization service.
However…
The fans that shipped them together wailed in agony.
—— [Ahhh, what should I do? I want all three editions!]
—— [Only kids have to choose, adults can buy everything!]
—— [Buying is not as good as selling! Damn it! Unscrupulous merchant! I’ll just buy it, okay?!]
—— [Collecting and hoarding is a human instinct, so I’m just following my instincts, not splurging unnecessarily /dog head]

Many discussion posts appeared in the famous gossip forum, Melon, and they mainly revolved around speculations about which edition would sell the best.
One of the Shisui Sisters appeared and posted an analysis that looked very professional at first glance.
[Title: Shi Sui’s Edition A Is Speculated to Rake in Top Sales Volume, If Not, I Will Do a Livestream of Myself Eating the Keyboard!]
Main article: I’ve collated some data about Shi Sui from past records. Without a doubt, he is the absolute ceiling of male artists. Previously, the magazine issues that he was featured in had all sold out and hit record-high sales volumes, and not to forget, he has the ability and influence to increase sales for high-end luxury brands too. Even young hunks who usually generate high traffic volume can’t hold a candle to him.
The attached chart and table are as follows.
As for the Vase Fairy… Uh, since her debut, she has only released one single so far and the online sales she has generated are just a joke. The few endorsements that she had secured were not too bad, but the sales results weren’t terrific. Later on, she somehow became the brand ambassador for household appliance brands and endorsed products like dishwashers, electric grill plates, and what have you. Well, she’s somewhat able to drive up sales too.
But she’s a D-lister after all. How can the light of a firefly compete with the white moon?
Here’s my speculation for the sales volume of the three versions:
By the way, according to My Style Magazine’s usual practice, there will probably be 100,000 copies available in stock for the first batch of link. I predict that Shi Sui’s Edition A will definitely sell out in a second. As for the one with their couple photo on the cover page and Vase Fairy’s Edition B… Hehe~ I strongly suggest that the disgusting fans who ship the Untimely Couple, as well as Vase Fairy’s fans, to quickly sell whatever you have and get some money to buy some copies~
