The Bootlicker on the Dating Show Is Being Fought Over by Top-Tier Stars

When Lin Dao, a minor star ranked around 180th, joined Heart-Pounding Zone, his manager told him just one thing: ride the coattails of whoever's popular.

After much thought, he decided the safest approach was to be everyone's sycophant. He'd become the thoughtful little sweetheart of the cast, specializing in emotional support.

When top-tier star singer Ji Yanci was secretly photographed by a sasaeng, Lin Dao put his face right up against the sasaeng's camera and stepped in gallantly. "Teacher Shen, please get out of here!"

When business upstart Lu Shi lost a game and was left penniless, Lin Dao obediently offered him all his money, his expression ingratiating. "Mr. Lu, would you like an Americano or a latte?"

When top director Chen Jing went to great lengths to pursue a guest he fancied, Lin Dao dressed up as a mascot to bring them together, then held a flashing light and joined the cheer squad.

Netizens: Could anyone be more of a suck-up than Lin Dao? Disgusting!

He thought he'd mastered the art of being a sycophant, but Lin Dao didn't expect to stumble when it came to top-tier star and actor Chen Jinyu.

Chen Jinyu was nominated for Best Actor at the European Film Festival at sixteen, contended for an American film award at eighteen, and swept the domestic Best Actor awards at nineteen. He was a star from a young age, with a smooth career ahead of him. According to insiders, Chen Jinyu came from a wealthy family and had a trillion-yuan fortune waiting to be inherited.

So when Chen Jinyu's cuff link fell off, Lin Dao ended up in a state, searching the beach barefoot all day.

When Chen Jinyu said his coffee was too hot, Lin Dao carefully fanned it cool with a little hand fan.

When Chen Jinyu arrived late to the dating show because of a film shoot, Lin Dao saved a delicious little cake and waited for him eagerly.

When Chen Jinyu fell ill, Lin Dao stayed up all night taking care of him.

But everything he did was met with Chen Jinyu's cold rejection.

In the comments, netizens tore Lin Dao to shreds. Late at night in his room, Lin Dao hummed to himself: Bring in the money! Bring in the money! Bring in the money!

At the halfway point of the dating show, only guests who successfully paired up could go to Love Island. Lin Dao tearfully congratulated everyone and prepared to finish filming and go home to count his money.

Unexpectedly, Director Chen, top star Ji, and Mr. Lu all chose him as their romantic partner.

Lin Dao was stunned. ??? Guys, all three of you? I'm here to suck up, not to be a romantic contestant!

The director said, "No, there are four."

Lin Dao's emoji face was shocked. Who else?

The director said, "Chen Jinyu, who used a special privilege card."

Lin Dao glanced at Chen Jinyu's poker face. Something was off here!!

Before long, #DaoYuCP # took off overnight. The couple's fan page soared to fifty million daily views, and the whole internet went wild shipping them.

On camera, Lin Dao was lively and funny, while Chen Jinyu seemed cold and dismissive on the surface, yet showed indulgence and affection only toward him. Hot and cold, their chemistry was off the charts, and viewers were over the moon.

Sensible fans: Actor Chen's acting is really good. Once the dating show ends, DaoYu will go their separate ways!

When filming wrapped, Lin Dao took his appearance fee and planned to lie flat for a few days. To his surprise, Ji Yanci secretly sought him out, wanting to write him a song; Chen Jing contacted him, hoping he would star in his film; and Lu Shi went so far as to block his path in front of a cruise ship, wanting to date him...

Lin Dao: ...I'm fine with any of that.

Behind Lin Dao, Chen Jinyu's dark eyes locked onto him, his gaze obsessive and burning, as though he wanted to claim him for himself.

Later, Lin Dao was driven to the brink of losing focus in Chen Jinyu's villa. Dark currents surged in Chen Jinyu's eyes as he claimed him with wild possessiveness. "Dao Dao, you said you were fine with every position, right?"
