Dating Show: You Open with a Debut Performance of Anhe Bridge? Are You Kidding Me?

After working himself to death, music producer Gu Zhi'an transmigrated into the body of an idol with nothing going for him but his looks, one so unpopular he’d fallen through the floor of the entertainment industry.

From the start, he was in hell. His company dumped him into the top dating show Heartbeat Melody, making him the “pretty face with no talent” mocked by the entire internet.

At the opening performance, a popular idol set the stage ablaze with a high-energy song and dance, while a rich second-generation star stunned everyone with a piano solo.

Then it was Gu Zhi'an’s turn. He sat down slowly, holding a battered wooden guitar.

The show was livestreamed nationwide, and the comments were full of ridicule:

“I’m dying. He can play guitar? Don’t tell me he’s going to play ‘Two Tigers’!”

“That beat-up guitar probably cost thirty yuan on a secondhand site.”

“What’s he planning to do? Sing a sad love song to win sympathy?”

But when Gu Zhi'an gently brushed the strings, his slightly weathered voice rang out:

“Let me look at you once more, from south to north...”

One song, “Anhe Bridge,” and the whole venue fell silent. The guests teared up, and after three seconds of stillness, the livestream comments exploded!

“??? I’m stunned. What kind of divine song is this?”

“This was supposed to be a sweet dating show. Why have you got me crying??”

“Is this seriously that pretty-boy idol? These lyrics, this melody... You’d need a decade-long brain clot to write this!”

“Everyone else goes on dating shows to find a partner. Gu Zhi'an went on one to hold a funeral for the youth of the entire country!”

From then on, the entertainment industry’s whole vibe was turned upside down.

The female guests: “I came here hoping to find love. How did I end up becoming his muse?”

The director: “Please stop singing! This really is a dating show!”

Gu Zhi'an: “I can’t help it. I got caught up in the moment.”
