Dating Show: I Play the Worst Kind of Guy, Yet All the Goddesses Set Their Sights on Me

His partner waits three hours, but he goes to sleep first. The campus belle tries to surprise him and falls into his arms instead. He slurps spaghetti loud enough to shake the heavens and uses a willow branch as a pointer. Don't make the first move, don't take responsibility: that's why he's on a dating show.

Who could have guessed the show's rules would be dead set against him? The producers' script casts him as a detestable bad example, but all five female guests keep their eyes on him. The gentle, considerate singer of traditional-style songs proactively serves him a chicken leg. The Beijing Film Academy's campus belle has red-rimmed eyes, yet can't help sneaking glances at him. Even the top-tier star who says no one dared pursue her when she was young secretly tosses an apple into his arms while he's asleep.

One million yuan in appearance fees, three months of livestreaming, and all he has to do is play an unmotivated loser before he can take the money and leave. But while the other male guests are still desperately writing love songs, Xu Huaian has already hidden an entire library of hit songs for his partner. The audience thinks he's slacking off, the female guests think he's brushing them off, and the production crew considers him a perfect foil. Only when the competition officially begins will they understand: from beginning to end, he's been the one pulling the strings.
