After Becoming Everyone's Least Favorite, I Became the Favorite on a Dating Show

Xi He wakes up to discover he's become the universally hated cannon-fodder male lead in a dating-show novel.

In the original story, the cannon-fodder character who shares his name is a no-name celebrity and a nasty white lotus, an expert at seducing handsome, rich, high-quality men and ruining countless lives. He's a textbook example of a total scumbag.

He schemes his way onto Who's Top Now?, the ultimate same-sex dating show, where he makes every effort to get himself killed. In the end, all the male contestants join forces to destroy his reputation and ruin his life.

Xi He wakes up at the very beginning of the story, face-to-face with five furious male contestants he's supposedly seduced.

Contestant No. 1 is Xi He's sunshiney childhood friend, a wolfdog type. He charges over with a raised fist. “Well, look who's come right to my door! Do you want me to beat you up?”

Contestant No. 2 is the CEO of the entertainment company Xi He signed with, a celibate straight man who hates gay people. He strides over, tugging at his tie. “If you try to climb into my bed again, I'll make sure you're blacklisted.”

Contestant No. 3 is Xi He's university classmate, a gentle, motherly type. He frowns at Xi He reproachfully and says with deep regret, “Xiao Xi, if you keep making the same mistake, I won't go easy on you.”

Contestant No. 4 is Xi He's colleague at the entertainment company, a movie star who loves showing off like a peacock. He hooks a finger under Xi He's chin. “If you ever announce our relationship to the media again, I'll make you a gigolo.”

Contestant No. 5 is the ultimate master of passive-aggressive barbs. He gives Xi He a wicked smile. “Heh. I've read the signs, and one of us is definitely going to die today.”

Xi He: ...I have no words.

The six of them film their daily life under one roof. Xi He dutifully plays an emotionless dating-show grunt, but after a while

Contestant No. 1, the wolfdog childhood friend: Hngh, hngh, hngh! I'm so cuddly, come cuddle me!

Contestant No. 2, the homophobic CEO: I've made the bed. I'll be waiting for you tonight.

Contestant No. 3, the motherly guy: Come into Mommy's arms

Contestant No. 4, the peacock movie star: I've already announced us, baby. Why haven't you reposted it?

Contestant No. 5, the passive-aggressive guy: I've read the signs. My destined boyfriend seems kind of dumb, and he must look exactly like you.

Xi He: ? Subway. Old man. Phone.
