Here's a little ad for Buding's next romantic-comedy sweet treat, I'll Get My Happy Ending on a Reality Dating Show Full of Exes: please add it to your reading list! Sending love~ Weibo: Xicheng Buding Xia Zhaonan has a secret tucked away in her heart. She's in love with her "older brother," though they're not related by blood. It's a love she can't bring herself to confess. * After returning from overseas, Xia Zhaonan is invited to be a guest commentator on a reality dating show. When the host asks how many times she's been in love, she shakes her head. "I've only ever had one unrequited love." The host playfully presses her to reveal which actor in the entertainment industry it was. She denies it, but when they keep pushing, she gives them one word: "Jiang." After filming wraps, the group goes out to eat. Surrounded by fans, she runs into him after all this time. The man is in uniform, his brows still carrying that roguish air. He pulls her free of the crowd. "You're back?" She lowers her head. "Mm." "Good." He puts out his cigarette. "When are you free? Let's go get our marriage certificate." Xia Zhaonan is stunned. "Changed your mind?" He bends down to gaze at her, holding the lighter she secretly gave him before going abroad. "I haven't changed mine." The lighter means "I'll marry no one but you." She thought he didn't know. She had no idea how much he loved her. "An unrequited love is one person's private war. Longing is a solitary confession that sets that war ablaze." "I've loved you for a long time." Mutual pining, [Girl Group Lead Dancer] × [SWAT Officer], [Little Fairy] × [Rough-and-Ready Guy], [Xia Zhaonan] × [Jiang Su]. Both are each other's first love, and both are virgins. Sweet romance, no blood relation. Thank you to all the sweethearts who've added this to their reading lists~ -----I'm the dividing line for my next romantic-comedy sweet treat, I'll Get My Happy Ending on a Reality Dating Show Full of Exes------ Blurb: A video platform launches the second season of a breakup dating show, even more melodramatic than the first. Filmed live from start to finish, it invites four pairs of ordinary people who have already broken up to travel together and date other people right in front of their exes. It's a full-blown battlefield of romantic drama. Netizens: [Does a show this wild and morally outrageous really exist?! If anyone finds true love on it, I'll eat my words.] Not long after: [Waaah, I'm emotionally invested! Qiao Nian and Shen Jingci are perfect together!] [When is this fake couple going to make it real?! I don't want a second-chance romance, I want Shen Jingci to win Qiao Nian back as his girlfriend!] [Did Qiao Nian ask Shen Jingci to pretend to be her date again today? Waaah, I want to force them to actually date!] * Short on money, Qiao Nian joins a breakup dating show with the ex-boyfriend she dated for just half a month. She keeps a low profile and only wants to stick it out until she gets paid. But can someone tell her why she ends up at the center of the whole romantic battlefield? The three male contestants who all said before the show that they still couldn't get over their ex-girlfriends unanimously give their votes to her. Qiao Nian: "..." Go away. Dating will only slow down my eating. Not wanting to invite trouble, Qiao Nian has no choice but to team up with the only male contestant who's not interested in her, Shen Jingci. The man looks handsome and nonchalant, with a frosty temperament. "I can be your shield. How are you going to pay me back?" Qiao Nian: "..." Young master, could you take a good look at your situation? With that face that screams "I don't want to date," do you really have your pick of the female contestants who clearly like you? "It's a partnership. Neither of us owes the other anything." The man raises an eyebrow and gives her a half-smile. His words are as sharp as his looks are charming. "How do I know you really want to work with me, and aren't just into me while pretending to play hard to get?" Qiao Nian sneers. Looking at the man's face, which really does give him the right to be arrogant, she makes a bold declaration: "If I ever fall for you, I'll write my name backwards." Later: Qiao Nian discreetly changes her name on all her social media accounts. @NianQiaoIsStillQiaoNian: Hello, everyone. I'm Qiao Nian, and I really do love my boyfriend Shen Jingci. Netizens: [!!! I can't believe I actually shipped a real couple!] Some people have loved you for years before you ever knew it. [Doesn't want romance, only money · but her looks won't let her stay out of it · center of the romantic battlefield] Qiao Nian × [Careful planning · taking a step back to move forward · quietly bringing her home] Shen Jingci. The hero has never dated anyone; the reason is explained in the story. The heroine has only this one technical ex-boyfriend, and they never had any intimate contact. Both are pure and devoted. A sweet little story. Hope you enjoy it, sweethearts. Please add it to your reading lists~ Note: The show's format is based on the Korean variety show EXchange, but the characters aren't based on anyone, and Buding made up the specific rules herself. Don't overthink it, sweethearts. Sending love! Theme: A story of mutual pining
