The Beloved Heartthrob of the Survival Show

[Seeking favorites for the ongoing novel Reborn as the Hated Fake Young Master; blurb at the bottom] To fill out the contestant roster for his idol survival show, the director grabbed Luo Shixi, who was delivering milk tea to the production team, and shoved him onto the show as a last-minute recruit. He only had to stick around for an episode or two, and the pay was generous. Luo Shixi: Get paid without doing any work? Does it get better than this? One episode is the same as delivering 5,000 milk teas! A worker's soul is a worker's soul, and workers love earning money on the side! He's taking the job! And so, a sweet little cutie appeared on the show Idol Maker. He could eat and sleep, and he was so gorgeous you just wanted to give him a squeeze. The other trainees: He's so cute when he smiles! My heart can't take it! Just as the show fans were about to start mocking him, they realized their favorite idols seemed to think rather highly of him. Jiang Yan, with his eyebrow piercing and unruly attitude, secretly teased him every day, acting even more childish than a grade-schooler; Bai Jingzhou, stunning everyone in historical costume, fed him stinky tofu with a gentle smile and asked if it tasted good; The always refined and aloof Liang Yulan smiled without warmth, yet repeatedly accompanied him on the piano with the very hands that had won a national piano award. Show fans: Could he be some kind of hidden powerhouse? Is that why the idols are all fawning over him? More and more fans started paying attention to Luo Shixi, doing their best to get this powerhouse more opportunities to show off his breathtaking dancing and heavenly singing voice. Luo Shixi: The director only paid him for two episodes! This is extra work, so it costs extra! Idol Maker made Luo Shixi famous, and it also brought his shipping fans into the spotlight. Netizens marveled at how rare it was to see ships flourishing side by side like this, with each fandom staying in its own lane and not getting in the others' way. But an unexpected incident ended the peaceful coexistence of the various ships. As they watched Luo Shixi livestreaming a game, netizens saw a long, elegant hand reach in from the side, holding a peeled grape between its fingertips and bringing it to his lips. A lazy chuckle sounded by his ear, the final note rising and lingering: “Still mad?” “It was my fault. Come on, Luoluo, don't be mad.” Luo Shixi's face instantly turned red. He lowered his head, murmured “Mm,” and opened his mouth to take the grape. Netizens: Luo Shixi has a new ship? Let's investigate! Wait, that voice sounds so familiar…! Holy crap! Isn't that the voice of the hugely popular star and mentor, He Yu? He Yu's fans rushed to the scene, only to hear He Yu, who was always flirtatious without realizing it, chuckle and say, “They keep getting close to you. Can't I, your lover, get jealous?” He Yu's fans: …The way you get jealous and secretly stake your claim is honestly so pathetic. [Blurb last updated 2021.04.25] 1.

[[[Reborn as the Hated Fake Young Master]]] Song Xunnan lived only twenty-four years. The first half of his life was carefree and glorious, surrounded by adoring fans; the second half saw him sink into the dirt and endure endless torment. Everything changed at his twenty-first birthday banquet, when he learned he was the child mistakenly switched at birth by the Song family, a thief who had taken someone else's place. Over the next three years, the parents who had once loved him treated him as if he didn't exist. His eldest brother never looked at him again, and his second brother went out of his way to avoid him. No one had ever truly loved Song Xunnan. When he opened his eyes again, he was back at his twenty-first birthday banquet. Song Xunnan no longer had any illusions about the Song family. All he wanted was to settle, bit by bit, the scores he hadn't finished settling in his previous life. But something seemed wrong. His eldest brother, who had once slapped him and made him face the truth about his identity, looked at him silently with tender concern, patted his head, and said gently, “Xiaonan, things will get better.” When Song Xunnan had asked for help, his second brother had coldly refused him. Now, one joking remark from Song Xunnan was enough to make him go to great lengths to find the finest jade for him to choose and admire. Song Xi, the real young master who had mocked him in his previous life, found a drawer full of medicine and, eyes red, frantically demanded to know what was wrong, weeping as he begged Song Xunnan to be all right. And then there were his parents… Song Xunnan was baffled. What on earth had happened to the world? What he didn't know was that everyone had shared the same dream. In the dream, as they cried out in unbearable anguish, Song Xunnan turned and walked calmly into the blaze, where the flames devoured him completely, leaving nothing behind. Song Xunnan had no idea. So when the Song family cautiously asked what would make him happy, he lowered his eyes and thought it over carefully. After a long pause, a dazzling smile spread across his lips. His voice was cruel: “I'd be happy if I never had to see any of you again.” Wen Heng x Song Xunnan A cool, abstinent doctor gong Theme: Don't keep denying yourself. Everyone has boundless potential
