[Love Showdown, Beloved by Everyone, Nine Gays and One Straight Man: The Story of How Everyone Eventually Falls for That "Straight Man"]
Cheng Yichi is a three-time Golden Film Emperor who is passionate about acting. To repay a favor, he joins a dating reality show: WHO IS THE LIAR.
But he is still acting: pretending to be gay while straight, and fooling everyone!
Ten handsome men gather on the show. Nine of them are gay, handsome and flirtatious, and all are elite professionals in their respective fields.
They search for the lover most compatible with them, make the first move, and fight for their own love. At the same time, they must be careful not to let a despicable straight-man impostor steal their hearts.
Love Cheat Cheng Yichi: It's fine, I'll just watch and see. Don't mind me, you guys go ahead and date!
There is the abstinent doctor who always buttons his white shirt to the very top, yet is burning hot and blushes at the slightest touch; the romantic playboy rich kid who often wears burgundy shirts and likes all kinds of role-play; and the composed lawyer who wears gold-rimmed chain glasses, seems cool and aloof, yet gets jealous easily.
Cheng Yichi: Oh, let me look, look. Who's going to win them over?
Will it be a pure, immaculate, adorable angel? A gentle and serene beauty? Or a handsome, cool guy in a leather jacket?
Oh, so it was Cheng Yichi... Hmm? Me?
At the end of the show, the promised love showdown arrives: Cheng Yichi's phone lines are all busy!
The only straight man, Cheng Yichi: Boohoo, I was just here to experience life. I'm just a straight guy... right?
Maybe, possibly, I'm still straight?
The possessive little wolf cub hugs his senior from behind and kisses the back of his neck passionately, again and again. "Hey, Gege, what are you talking about? What straight guy?"
Cheng Yichi: No, nothing. I didn't say anything!
Little Extra:
Online viewers' opinions of WHO IS THE LIAR:
At first: So Actor Cheng has had no scandals or relationships all these years because he's gay, after all.
After it airs: Awww, Actor Cheng is so cute, so beautiful, so gentle, and so charming!
During the livestream: Awww, so many people are fighting over my wife! Teacher Cheng, don't let them get their way! You despicable little wolf cub, take your hand off Teacher Cheng's waist, damn it!
After it ends: Wait? Did I see that right? The liar... is my wife?! He's straight? I got bent, and he's straight?
Wait, why did they suddenly announce their relationship?!
The viewers:
The happy part is that Teacher Cheng is gay. The sad part is that the person he fell for isn't me!
A certain person, whose deeds remain hidden: He only loves me. Heh.
Note: A dating-show love showdown. Actor Cheng is the only universally adored protagonist, and everyone on the show falls for him in the end. No side couples. Even if there are regrets in the end, that's a kind of imperfect beauty.

After My Secret Identity Was Exposed, I Got Together with the Film Emperor
Young dance prodigy Chu Wangliang studied under a leading figure in the dance world. At a young age, he won award after award internationally, earning the nickname "Bluebird." But once he turned twenty, he grew increasingly temperamental, with his rebellious phase arriving late.
When his idol Tong Ye put out a call for an assistant, Chu Wangliang defied his teacher's orders, abandoned his proper career, and went to work as Tong Ye's personal assistant.
Tong Ye was aloof and distant, said little but demanded a lot. He looked at Chu Wangliang with indifference, yet seemed to enjoy giving him errands.
He did have one little quirk: during breaks, he liked staring at his phone and grinning foolishly.
One day, during a break, Chu Wangliang happened to walk past, and Tong Ye grabbed him.
Smiling faintly, he held up his phone, revealing a dancer whose face was half-covered. "His name is Bluebird. What do you think of his dancing?"
Looking at his own image on the screen, Chu Wangliang felt so awkward he could have curled his toes into the floor. "It's all right."
What?
Tong Ye: "What do you mean, 'all right'? Do you know how hard he's worked?..."
As it turned out, mutual affection wasn't always the most wonderful thing in the world.
Film Emperor Tong had been fretting lately.
His newly hired, adorable assistant was like a little cat: affectionate when petted the right way, bristling when petted the wrong way. But there was one thing they didn't see eye to eye on: Chu Wangliang didn't seem to appreciate his favorite dancer.
Until one day, on the high stage after the closing ceremony, Tong Ye came upon Chu Wangliang spinning alone beneath the lights, eyes closed.
A long, slender neck and a figure as dazzling as a fleeting glimpse: he wasn't a little cat, but a proud swan.
In the glow of the first snow, Tong Ye's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly felt that Chu Wangliang shouldn't be cooped up in a room with trivial tasks as an assistant. He should be soaring like Bluebird beneath the blazing sun, across the open sky... Tong Ye decided to help the person he loved realize his dream.
Tong Ye went to great lengths to invite one of his relatives, a master of dance, then blindfolded Chu Wangliang and brought him to meet the relative, proudly introducing them to each other.
But when the blindfold came off, Chu Wangliang was horrified, and the word "Master" slipped out before he could stop himself...
Tong Ye's smile slowly disappeared, and his voice turned dangerous. "Hmm? Master??"
Chu Wangliang looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy, all his usual quick wit gone. "Well... you hear me out... no, let me explain..."
After the truth came out, Tong Ye held his forehead. His little assistant was actually a dancer. The little cat had hidden his wings, ready to turn into a Bluebird and take flight at any moment.

Coming Soon: What Should I Do About This Showdown with My Ex-Husband's Brother? (Family Variety Show)
Desperate for money and out of options, Song Luoning takes his three-year-old darling, Qiqi, onto a family variety show.
Song Luoning is an actor universally hated online, his popularity as fleeting as an epiphyllum. He is spoiled and unprofessional, not only acting in terrible dramas but also taking on overlapping projects. There are enough marketing accounts making their daily KPIs off him to fill a whole basket. Even the handful of old-time fans who liked his looks and acting couldn't stick around because he barely ever interacted with them. Almost all the comments on his Weibo are scoldings and insults from the fans of actors who have worked with him.
On the day of the livestream, aside from being shocked, almost everyone assumes that a man with nothing going for him but his looks could never be good with children. They eagerly open the livestream, ready to capture every expression of Song Luoning getting angry and save them as hate-worthy reaction images, only to see:
The delicate beauty holds the three-year-old in his arms and softly asks which room he wants;
When someone bumps into him, he only hurriedly steps aside and blushes as he says, "Sorry";
When a staff member gives them directions, he gently thanks them while leading the soft, cuddly little one along. His beautiful eyes make people's hearts skip a beat.
[What should we do? How can we keep hating on such a beautiful, sickly beauty?]
More and more people in the comments call him their wife. Even when Song Luoning sheds tears because of chest pain, they can't help but feel sorry for him. How could this delicate, sickly beauty be anything like the person described by the marketing accounts? Even the three-year-old is so adorable and clingy, wrapping himself around his dad and saying, "Daddy, don't work hard. I'll do it!"
But during the livestream, the sickly beauty holds Qiqi and casually drops this line: "Mm, once I finish filming this show, I'm retiring from the industry."
With a boom, the viewers are stunned and the comments explode.
Even though he's mired in the muck, Song Luoning still has hope for life. It's just that life has treated him badly: his lover broke up with him and disappeared, his company terminated his contract and suppressed him, and a family member is seriously ill.

Before he can bring the beauty home, he discovers: Damn, his beloved's ex-husband is his brother, who lost his memory in a car accident.
The puppy's smile fades, his eyes darken slightly, and he bares his fangs. "I don't care. Once you're in my arms, you're my wife."
Lu Siyu was in a car accident and has a vague feeling that he's forgotten something. For three years, he's been searching for the same person, but he can never find him. It isn't until he returns to the country that he discovers: why does the gentle, refined beauty standing beside his younger brother look so familiar?
It's that feeling of his heart suddenly racing.

Little Extra:
As soon as the danmei audio drama The World in a Dream was released, it set off a storm on the forums and sparked several pages of heated arguments:
Fans of the rejected voice actor: This guy definitely has connections. He doesn't understand The World in a Dream at all! Our Xiao Yan is the one best suited to the role! The production team is just using him to promote a newbie. Ugh!
Ba Jiu Dui Huan's fans: No tying ourselves together, no CP baiting. Some newbie voice actor, stop clinging to a big name!
Bystanders: Huh? But this newbie did a pretty good job.
Ba Jiu Dui Huan's fans: Wait a second, the actual person just posted on Weibo.
Ba Jiu Dui Huan V:
@Nanke Yimeng, they say you don't understand The World in a Dream, when it was clearly based on us. I'm hurt.
Fans: Huh? The author? The inspiration? Did I read that wrong?

Theme: Be brave and pursue your love.
I just read the beginning and I can't help but want to say something. If it were the Little Mermaid in Chichi, it might not be that the prince recognized his wrong benefactor but that the princes all said that it was him who saved the mermaid in the first place.
How can I survive in the middle of the night? Oe would really appreciate it
He sprinkles flowers, reminding sisters that this is just a side story, the ending of the main story is based on chapter 80~
There's nothing to be angry about, right? Li Yi's explanation is very sincere. This anger is inexplicable, and it's only been a month.
Wait a minute, what about the ending of this extra chapter? Will it disappear after Li Xiaolang comes back?
I'm quite speechless, it's been a long time.
To be honest, Dada pursues perfect characters. No matter who he is, everyone is changing and getting better. Li Xiaoyi is really great. No one is perfect. In the beginning, he made me feel more flesh and blood. His character is a little bad but real. I really like Li Xiaoyi. He is a little bit bad but Dada is good! We can become better because of love, but we don't need to match perfection with perfection.
Congratulations to my wife on the completion! ! Kiss your wife.
What will happen after you vote out? Are you really a traitor?
