After binding himself to a laid-back sign-in System, Qin Feng spent his days braising meat and drinking tea, living more carefree than a retiree.
Then his aunt slapped a dating-show contract in his face: either go on the show and find a partner, or endure three blind dates a day for a whole month.
Qin Feng promptly grabbed his clay pot, slipped on his flip-flops, and walked into the Heartbeat House.
The dating-show contestants competed over outfits and wealth, carefully crafting elite personas and doing everything they could to hog the cameras and flirt.
Qin Feng, meanwhile, stood out from the crowd:
He headed straight for the fridge to check the ingredients, then whipped up a pot of braised pork that set every livestream chat ablaze.
A returnee elite showed off French cuisine and talked up red wine to flaunt his taste, only to be completely upstaged by Qin Feng’s bowl of plain noodles.
When an elite contestant sneered that Qin Feng lacked ambition and was a kept man, the aloof female lawyer whipped out her law license on the spot and defended her husband with logic that crushed him.
When everyone botched putting up tents at the campsite, Qin Feng gathered some scrap wood and casually built a full set of mortise-and-tenon tables and chairs. The whole internet hailed him as a master of intangible cultural heritage.
Viewers went from “Is this guy just here to make up the numbers?” to “Bro, how many more surprises do you have?” Eventually, they all tuned in just to watch him cook and live out his retirement, calling him a digital safe haven for overworked laborers.
Other dating shows were all love notes and push-and-pull games. The two of them sent each other menus in their heart-fluttering texts.
“Will there be braised pork tomorrow morning?”
“No, just soup dumplings.”
The whole internet went wild shipping them: “What kind of foodie fairytale romance is this?”
Qin Feng: “It’s just a dating show. What’s there to panic about? I’ll cook, drink tea, and let the days go by.”
Only later did he realize that he hadn’t just charmed away a top lawyer, he had somehow become famous across the country.
It's not bad, just take a look if you want.
The title is very good, keep up the good work
