The Tsundere Star Joins a Dating Show and Becomes Everyone’s Dream Match

[Two Male Leads + 1v1, Both Pure + Dating Show + Mutual Secret Crushes + Second Chance Romance]

Original title: The Tsundere Becomes a National Sweetheart After Joining a Dating Show

After an incident at his pet shop, Gu Xiang is forced to join a brand-new dating show with a talent-competition twist, where the goal is to pick “the person most suited for love.” He never expects that, among the ten contestants, he’ll receive four love-interest messages on the very first night. After that, contestants bring him cakes and cookies… and invite him on dates.

Gu Xiang sticks to his principle that if he rejects them quickly enough, they’ll stop coming after him, and keeps his distance from all the contestants.

But! Can someone please tell him why his ex-boyfriend is on the show too?!

On the first day of their reunion, Gu Xiang and Song Mingyue bicker so much that everyone knows they can’t stand each other. And yet, on that very same day, they end up sharing a room.

That sets the people Gu Xiang rejected plotting. If he won’t give anyone the time of day, then surely they still have a chance…

But one particular ex-boyfriend keeps the others away, jealously guarding his territory around Gu Xiang and not letting anyone so much as look at him.

“Xiangxiang, I like you so much. What am I supposed to do?” Song Mingyue murmurs in the dark, his gaze deep and intense.

“Get lost,” Gu Xiang says, his face turning bright red.

Unable to take it anymore, Gu Xiang snaps at Song Mingyue, “Song Mingyue, are you a dog?”

Song Mingyue just smiles. “I’m Xiangxiang’s dog. His and his alone.”

The show airs, and Gu Xiang becomes famous.

Late that night, Song Mingyue posts: Sorry, he’s mine.
