I Became Famous After Going on a Dating Show with My Ex

The bonus chapters are back for another round! New one just updated! Mwah, mwah, mwah! Rekindled romance, sweet and satisfying, 1v1 Couple: A rich, puppy-like top who acts like a fierce guard dog in public but turns clingy and sweet in private x A gorgeous, broke bottom who talks tough but has a soft heart and is a master at training dogs 1. Down-on-his-luck screenwriter Ruan Song had been in a five-year relationship with Ren Qinming, a top-tier star. When they got together, Ren Qinming was a nobody. But once he became famous, the two of them suddenly called it quits. Unable to get Ren Qinming to reconcile, Ruan Song grew gloomy by the day. His aloof public image became more firmly established than ever. At last, after a few drinks, he couldn't hold back and went to Ruan Song's place, where paparazzi caught him. Then, just like that, their relationship became public. The entire entertainment industry was rocked, and fans went crazy. Nobody believed it. Our brother is a cold-faced King of Hell who doesn't even look at beautiful women. How could he be dating anyone? Who in this world could possibly be good enough for him?! To prove Ren Qinming was single, fans posted his schedule: 365 days a year, 330 of them spent on set. Who wants that kind of relationship? Could you put up with a boyfriend like that? Ruan Song found it hilarious. Exactly. He didn't want that, and he couldn't put up with it, which was why they'd broken up. 2. Just as Ruan Song was about to angrily clarify things on Weibo, an invitation arrived from a hit dating show. They wanted him and Ren Qinming to appear together and show off their relationship. Ruan Song scoffed. They'd already broken up. Only a lunatic would go. But the moment he saw the fee the show was offering, the penniless unemployed man said, “I'm a lunatic. I'll do it.” 3. The moment Ruan Song appeared on the show, the fans changed their tune. Surprise! A beauty! And the cold-faced King of Hell, who supposedly never looked at “beautiful women”? Ren: Honey, come closer. Everyone's watching. Ren: Honey, smile at me. There's a camera in this corner too. Ren: Honey, I think we need to kiss. Ruan Song: ...### Then Ren Qinming said, “Honey... your ears are red.” Ruan Song gritted his teeth and clapped a hand over his mouth. “I'm! Hot!” The fans waved their banners wildly: You're not hot! Get close! We want to see you two cuddling! Ruan Song was completely speechless. So much for nobody being good enough for him? The fans blushed furiously. “Teacher Ruan, that's harsh. What the Ren Qinming fans say has nothing to do with us joint CP fans, right?” Ruan Song: ... Damn it, who could've guessed that going on a dating show for the money would lead to a fake romance turning real, and make him famous too! ● The bottom is an ordinary person. The synopsis calls him a “beauty,” just like how lots of people casually call men “wife” online these days. It's ordinary internet slang, used only from the fans' point of view, and appears just a few times in the story's comments, as is common on Weibo. It doesn't feminize him, isn't used extensively, and carries no malice! I haven't changed it to “beauty” in the more literary sense because that doesn't quite capture the meaning or feel of the original term! Coming soon: The Secret Desire to Be My Wife's Dog After Losing My Memory [Entertainment Industry] Unrequited love with a blatant crush that comes true, 1v1 Couple: A younger, calculating sweetheart of a puppy-like top, who thinks nobody is more handsome than his wife x A cultured, refined, stunning beauty of a bottom from an illustrious family, whose looks and intellect leave the entertainment industry in the dust (A gentle, refined beauty can be a flirt who trains dogs too, just saying) Before losing his memory: “Hello, Senior.” Restrained, obedient, polite.jpg After losing his memory: “That's my wife. Even the Jade Emperor himself couldn't convince me otherwise!” 1. When it comes to the internet's favorite crack ship, Ji Bojian and Song Yan are unbeatable. One is an award-winning TV actor, the other an award-winning film actor. Together, they command half the entertainment industry. They've never even appeared in the same frame, yet edits of them have topped fan-video sites for years. “Two kings never meet, destined to love and hate each other.” “Zero distance in public, negative distance in private.” “A scheming younger tea-dog x a gentle older senior...” Their CP fans outnumber those of many real couples. Just putting their faces together creates incredible chemistry. Nobody has ever looked more like they belong in a romance novel. No matter how much fans shipped them, though, they wouldn't dare bring it up in front of the stars themselves. After all, these two were on completely parallel paths. They'd attended plenty of the same award ceremonies, but they truly had no personal relationship. 2. Until one day, the gorgeous Song unexpectedly agreed to appear on a variety show. A dating show, no less, with a live broadcast. The news sent the trending topics into a frenzy. Even Ji Bojian, who'd always looked down on variety shows, went wild. He didn't care that just moments earlier he'd made his manager post on Weibo that he disliked people prying into his private life and had no interest in dating. Without a word, he canceled all his plans, got the dating show's contract, and signed it. Ji's fans: ? Weren't you supposed to have no interest in dating? Two bombshells in one day. The wall between dimensions had shattered. Before long, someone figured it out: No wonder this guy never dates. He must have something to hide. Turns out he's been coveting Teacher Song! Ji Bojian would never admit it, of course. When he went on the show, he put away all his usual swagger and acted like a perfect gentleman. 3. He hadn't kept up the act for long when an accident during a variety-show game gave him a temporary concussion and amnesia. The whole way to the hospital, unconscious, he nearly scared the crew and all the fans watching the livestream to death. Nobody had any thoughts of fooling around anymore. But this guy was something else. The first thing he did after opening his eyes in the hospital bed, with everyone watching, was turn to Song Yan with a frail, willow-like air and call out, “Wife, ” Everyone had just been working themselves up to cry tears of joy: ? A crew member whispered, “Teacher Ji, Teacher Song isn't your wife...” Ji declared with absolute certainty, “Impossible. He's one hundred percent my type. I'm not a special forces soldier. How could I possibly resist chasing him until he's mine?” Comments: ??? Fine, fine, at least he finally admitted it. After the crew had talked him around, more or less, Ji Bojian seemed to accept the explanation. But as soon as everyone left, he grabbed Song Yan's hand and leaned close to whisper, “Wife, we haven't gone public yet, right?” The mic was still on, and the comments heard every word: ...You little rascal?? 4. Song Yan had always had a good impression of his junior, who was a few years younger. He was a good actor and handsome too, so he didn't mind Ji clinging to him. If anything, he found it rather cute. When asked, he simply smiled and adjusted his glasses, his beauty in full force. “You like me that much?” That one line turned the amnesiac puppy into fireworks. That's right, this had to be his wife! Absolutely certain.jpg [A few days later, fans saw the two announce their marriage: ??? Vocal, don't let him enjoy this too much. He actually managed to make it real!!] Coming soon: After Catching a Top-Tier Star Senior's Secret [Entertainment Industry] He runs, he chases, 1v1 Couple: “He laughed. Does he really think I didn't recognize him?” An ambitious, career-driven top x “He probably didn't recognize me as his former classmate, right?” A bottom who just wants to coast and get by 1. Lu Jin'an is universally recognized as a master strategist in the entertainment industry. From the moment he debuted, he cleared every obstacle in his way himself, crushed anyone who tried to spread dirt about him, and landed one incredible opportunity after another until he successfully reached the top-tier star ranks. His knack for playing to the cameras, his obsessive perfectionism, and his flawless control of his expressions were no secret. His fans bought into all of it, figuring it was better than people who couldn't even act the part. As long as he put in the effort to keep them happy, that was good enough. Su Dian, an insignificant nobody signed to the same agency, could only gaze up at him from afar. Just as he was thinking that being a has-been nobody wasn't so bad, he stumbled across someone's secret. The mighty top-tier star and male idol had actually XXXXX! Su Dian's first thought: Holy crap, someone's going to kill me... Then came: Lu/Su: I'm/you're done for... 2. The next day, Su Dian received an invitation to appear on a travel-and-living variety show. Without a second thought, the young man packed his bags and tried to run. Lu was so obsessed with his image that after Su Dian had seen him doing something like that, he'd surely kill him to keep him quiet! But Lu Jin'an smiled. “If he's going, then I'm going too.” The show crew was flattered and stunned: ?! Before long, word spread around the crew that the two were close. One person told ten, and ten told a hundred. Director: What? They're close? Guest: Wow, they knew each other before? They went to school together? Manager: How come I didn't know they were best buddies...? 3. Until, on the show, Su's mother called him on video: “Your grandaunt told me you're dating Lu Jin'an?” Lu: ? Su: ?? Mom? Su's father immediately turned to his drinking buddies and bragged, “My son is going to marry that top-tier star as soon as the show ends. Pretty impressive, huh?” Su: … The fans, delighted by the drama: Hahahahahahaha! Who understands how devastating this is? One simple “If he's going, I'm going too,” and he's signed away the rest of his life. [Su Dian, in despair: Bro, please let me off. I really didn't see anything.] [Lu Jin'an: Come beg me in bed too, let's hear it :)] Theme: True gold will always shine.
