The Most Hated One Goes Viral on a Dating Show After Divorce [Book Transmigration]

[Inline comments are open. Feel free to read all the completed novels in my column.]

Three years ago, at the height of his career, Lu Jue chose to get married and retire.

Then came a scandal overnight. His fans turned on him, and the whole internet berated him. Lu Jue was branded a hopeless romantic.

Three years later, Lu Jue updated his social media, announcing he would join the wildly popular dating show "Love for Everyone." His relationship status on his profile changed to single at the same time.

Netizens were stunned and flooded Sheng Yan's social media, telling him to keep his wife in check.

Sheng Yan replied from his real account: We've divorced. Don't bring me into this.

The news hit the trending charts.

The show officially announced its cast. Besides Lu Jue, it included his former teammate Ji Chengfeng, who had once been inseparable from him but later became his sworn enemy.

Even more absurdly, Lu Jue's husband, no, ex-husband Sheng Yan, would appear on the show as a commentator!

The show hadn't even aired, and expectations were already through the roof.

[What kind of spectacular love-triangle showdown is this? This TV station really knows how to make a show!]

[Is this a battle between the new guy and the childhood friend? I'm already looking forward to it!]

[Lu Jue really is committed to being a hopeless romantic. He gets divorced and goes on a dating show right away?]

Nobody knew that Lu Jue had transmigrated into a book.

After eight years in the entertainment industry, Lu Jue had never made it big. At last, he got an opportunity but failed to seize it, then died unexpectedly. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a pretty, disposable character in a showbiz novel.

Lu Jue was furious at the character for squandering his chance, slapping his thigh in frustration. Now that the opportunity was back, he was determined to seize it this time.

Filming the show.

Lu Jue reclined halfway across the sofa, smiling faintly at the camera. His air of vulnerability and domestic charm had netizens scrambling for a place in line to marry him.

His former teammate, newly crowned Best Actor Ji Chengfeng, shed his aloof exterior. He stared at Lu Jue like a wolf that could never get enough.

And yet the two of them standing together looked so beautiful it took your breath away.

Fans went wild shipping them: Pick him! Pick him! Pick him!

For the second episode, the production crew deliberately stirred up trouble, forcing Lu Jue and his ex-husband together to create entertaining footage.

They hadn't expected Ji Chengfeng to cut in, draping an arm around Lu Jue's shoulders and waist and whispering intimately in his ear right in front of Sheng Yan.

Embarrassed and furious, Lu Jue dragged Ji Chengfeng to a secluded corner and warned him in a low voice. Instead, Ji Chengfeng shoved him against the wall.

Cool fingertips kneaded his earlobe. Ji Chengfeng leaned close, his thin lips almost brushing Lu Jue's reddened eye. "Weren't you the one who used me to get rid of your ex-husband? What, you won't even let me collect a little interest?"

A camera in the corner turned quietly.

When the video came out, the fans went crazy.

The CP fan community that had been dormant for three years sprang back to life, sending Lu Jue and Ji Chengfeng straight to the trending charts.

Extra scene:

Everyone online was shipping Lu Jue and Ji Chengfeng. Only Sheng Yan, eyes red, begged like a dog for Lu Jue to look back at him.

@Sheng Yan: Wife, I know I was wrong. Will you come back to me?

Ji Chengfeng soothed the exhausted Lu Jue to sleep, picked up his phone, and reposted Sheng Yan's post.

@Ji Chengfeng: Watch your wording. He's my wife now.

A spoiled, scheming, attention-seeking bottom x a money tree top who seems to lose out but is actually full of tricks

Lu Yanqiao grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, spoiled since childhood and never forced to endure the slightest hardship. So the day after his family went bankrupt, he found himself a money tree.

His friend nervously swallowed. "The 'money tree' you found isn't someone to mess with."

The "money tree" was decisive and efficient. He took control at eighteen, cleared out internal and external threats within a year, and firmly established himself as the boss. At twenty, he dared to take on sweeping reforms alone, despite the opposition. Now, not yet thirty, he was already an industry leader.

People praised him as a promising young man and an outstanding heir to his family. Behind his back, though, they cursed his need for control and his cold-blooded ways. He presided over an empire of wealth but wouldn't share a penny with his family.

But Lu Yanqiao had the "money tree" wrapped around his little finger. All it took was a little shake to make gold coins rain down.

A shrewd businessman never does anything without expecting a profit. How could he possibly take a loss?

His friend was frantic. "You're going to get topped!"

Lu Yanqiao didn't care. In fact, he was enjoying himself.

He flew on the "money tree's" private jet to Iceland to see the northern lights.

He went to Country E to ride a black bear and try shooting: a truly hardcore vacation.

Every time he returned from a trip, his friend would look him over anxiously. "You didn't get topped, did you?"

The down-on-his-luck young master was living even better than before his family fell apart. The "money tree" catered to his every whim and never did anything he didn't want.

Lu Yanqiao was certain. "I'm definitely not getting topped!"

Life went smoothly, and Lu Yanqiao grew more independent. He got ambitious and wanted to escape the "money tree's" control.

His friend personally saw him off at the airport, moved to tears. Living with a powerful man is like living with a tiger, but at last he wouldn't have to worry about Lu Yanqiao anymore.

A few days later, his friend saw the familiar Rolls-Royce dropping Lu Yanqiao off at work as usual. Only, Lu Yanqiao got out of the car a little awkwardly.

His friend: "Didn't you go abroad?"

"He tore up my passport."

"Did he hit you?"

"..." He got topped.
