My Ex and I on a Dating Show

Fu Sinian, a young Best Actor famous throughout Asia, was stunningly handsome, cold, and proud.

An Ran, the sole heir to one of China's top wealthy families, was a sunny puppy whom everyone adored.

Outsiders didn't know they were the real and fake young masters of the An family, or that An Ran had taken Fu Sinian's place in life. But everyone knew the two had grown up together and made a beloved childhood-friends ship.

An Ran stayed by Fu Sinian through his father's death, his debts, and the darkest days of his career. They had understood and cherished each other, embraced with deep affection, been inseparable, and shared a bed.

An Ran had paid off Fu Sinian's debts and invited him to sign a repayment agreement that was practically a marriage contract, with a term lasting a lifetime. Fu Sinian had quit the industry for An Ran and endured relentless online abuse and being blacklisted.

The year they suddenly fell out and stopped speaking for good, their fans were heartbroken: Even the closest brothers can break up? Could they have accidentally slept together? Will we ever see them get married again? No, get back together?

Years later, a gay dating reality show appeared out of nowhere.

Fu Sinian and An Ran were both invited. Across a sea of reporters, they each acted cool and aloof: It was a coincidence, don't bring it up. Whoever gets back together first is a dog.

The nasty netizens happily watched the drama, waiting for the once-popular ship to glare at each other and start fighting on the show.

But when the full episode aired, the screen filled with scenes too scandalous to describe:

An Ran "accidentally" dropped an old photo of them together. He opened the collar of his bathrobe to reveal his smooth neck, letting Fu Sinian practice signing his name on it.

Fu Sinian "accidentally" revealed the contents of his bag: He carried around the overbearing contract fans called the "Fu-An Marriage Contract," and had even stuck a little heart on it.

Behind Fu Sinian's back, An Ran struck up a conversation with his devoted male fan, a fellow guest: "Oh, making the Best Actor a loving breakfast, are you? Back when he was so busy he couldn't eat three meals a day, I had to feed him myself. I know his tastes best. Let me teach you."

Behind An Ran's back, Fu Sinian spoke to a male guest who was a gold-digging social climber hoping to marry into a wealthy family: "Oh, sending Chairman An private photos to reel him in, are you? When we were living apart, I sent him so many photos and messages that one phone couldn't hold them all. I know best what he wants to see and hear. Let me teach you."

Onlookers: ...The fans from back then really did have sharp eyes. How about we just give this pair of lovebirds a bark of approval?
