Finding a Happy Ending with the Director on a Shura-Field Dating Show

[Gorgeous, flirtatious queen bee vs. Scheming, jealous green-tea boyfriend] [A harem of admirers and a battlefield of love]

#Ace Variety Show Director Jin Han Makes a Dating Show#

#Jin Han's Gravity#

The hot-search rankings explode. Netizens shake their heads. What's the point of having a few amateurs with terrible acting perform the show's tired old script? Director Jin must be out of ideas.

After the show airs, netizens say:

"Holy crap, how can they be this good-looking?"

"What is this? Why is this dating show making me think so hard? It's almost like playing Werewolf."

"Ahhh, this is so dramatic and exciting! Fans of melodrama are eating well. Keep the fights coming. The whole cast being awful people is so entertaining!"

Career-minded Ji Xiaoxiao has no interest in romance on the dating show. She's focused on making things happen, charming the male contestants, winning the popularity vote, and taking home the show's grand prize.

Through her tireless efforts, the calm, rational business tycoon abandons his principles and loses his head for her; the playboy fashion director turns over a new leaf and becomes a lovesick puppy; and the sunny, cheerful nepo baby undergoes a complete personality change and teeters on the brink of villainy.

Ji Xiaoxiao, master of time management and flirtatious queen bee, spends every day on the front lines of the battlefield, placating three men who are jealous and fighting over each other. Then she unexpectedly gets bound to a Truth System. For one randomly chosen hour each day, she can only tell the truth. If she lies, the System will impose a random punishment.

Contestant No. 1 asks, as if in passing, while washing dishes, "How was your date with Ji Sifeng yesterday?"

Ji Xiaoxiao: "He's sweeter than you, talks more than you, and he's more romantic than you."

Contestant No. 2 gazes at her with his peach-blossom eyes. "Ji Xiaoxiao, how about we choose each other this time?"

Ji Xiaoxiao: "I've already agreed to mutually choose two people, so adding you won't make much difference."

Contestant No. 3 comforts Contestant No. 1, who's in tears. Contestant No. 2 comes over to join in and gets glared at.

Ji Xiaoxiao: "Move aside. You're blocking their shot."

"..." Ji Xiaoxiao: "The heavens are out to get me."

Exhausted from running herself ragged, Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly realizes that her little assistant, "Xiao Han," whom she often confides in, is actually the director, Jin Han!

She comes up with a daring idea.

Later,

While the entire production crew is busy getting ready to film outside, Jin Han pins Ji Xiaoxiao against the sink. Rubbing his face against her neck, he sounds like he's pouting, but his words are a threat: "Am I your secret lover? Hurry up and make us public. We're done with this crappy show. I'll pay the breach-of-contract fee. Otherwise, I can't promise I won't say something I shouldn't in front of everyone next time because I'm too upset."

Ji Xiaoxiao: "..."

Wasn't this crappy show your idea?

*

Jin Han comes from a wealthy family. His parents and brother and sister-in-law treat each other like business associates. In his dictionary, marriage means a partnership, and so-called love is just an illusion brought on by dopamine.

Watching three normally rational and level-headed male contestants go crazy for love, lose their minds for love, and bang their heads against a wall for love on camera, Jin Han says, "Hah. A wise man doesn't fall in love."

Later,

The wildly popular dating show Gravity has countless viewers shipping couples, looking for sweet moments, and hunting for proof their favorite couples are in love long after the finale.

A small video creator edits a crack ship video of Ji Xiaoxiao and Jin Han.

Netizens mock them: "Ships can be niche, but they can't be ridiculous."

Then Jin Han, who has always kept a low profile, suddenly reposts the video and tags himself: Jin Han: Great taste. If you're interested, get in touch about joining my next production.

The whole internet is stunned.

Upcoming 1: After Entrusting My Crush to Three Friends

A University dorm room 502 is home to the school's four heartthrob students. They're all from prominent families and are exceptionally handsome and charismatic.

Law student Jiang Chuan is gentle, refined, and handsome. His slightest smile makes countless girls blush, and he receives enough love letters to fill his desk to bursting.

Computer science student Qiao Wenyuan is a cold, brilliant academic, a chaste male idol who always buttons his white shirt to the very top. Despite keeping everyone at arm's length, he's a regular on the school's confession wall.

Mathematics student He Yan is handsome and hot-tempered. He's the captain of the school basketball team. His back and waist tense as he dunks, his biceps bulge, and his screaming fans could lift the gym's roof right off.

Finance student Chen Yan is an arrogant, sharp-tongued handsome devil. The more handsome he is, the more cutting his words. Countless girls both love and hate him, and they've even formed an anti-fan club for Brother Yan.

Everyone in dorm 502 knows that Jiang Chuan's childhood friend and neighbor, Jiang Mi, is the apple of his eye. He's watched over her for eight years and is finally about to see her start college at A University. But just then, he's about to go abroad on an exchange program for a year.

Jiang Chuan is troubled every day. His roommates comfort him and promise to look after his childhood sweetheart, making sure no one bullies or tricks her.

Jiang Chuan thanks them profusely and leaves for his exchange.

Six months later,

While Jiang Mi is in the restroom at the library, her phone, left on the table, keeps vibrating. Qiao Wenyuan picks it up, expressionless, declines Jiang Chuan's call, then deletes the call log.

In the basketball gym's locker room, He Yan, still in his uniform, scoops up the petite girl and pins her against a locker. Looking into her tearful, beautiful eyes, he murmurs persuasively, "I told you, your Brother Jiang Chuan isn't coming back. I'm here for you, okay?"

On the field beneath the moonlight, Chen Yan lies through his teeth without batting an eye. "I heard Jiang Chuan has a girl he likes overseas."

The girl turns away, her long eyelashes trembling as tears stream down her face.

Chen Yan scolds her. "Stop crying. Your eyes will get puffy and look even worse."

But with his hands, he carefully draws her into his arms.

Just as the three of them are secretly competing and sabotaging one another, united in their efforts to keep Jiang Chuan away,

Jiang Chuan returns home early.

Upcoming 2: Mr. He's Journey to Win Back His Wife

"He's like a vampire. Beneath his stunning face lie fangs. When you fall in love with him, you bask in his arms, never realizing those fangs are already at your throat."

He Xu is handsome, rich, gentlemanly, and charming. He's the perfect man girls sneak glances at with flushed cheeks before quickly looking away.

Only Xiang Ci knows he's cold, mean, and two-faced.

He Xu first met Xiang Ci on a summer afternoon.

The cicadas were deafening that day, and the girl across from him, holding a love letter and chocolates, was even more so.

He Xu suppresses the urge to frown. The curve of his lips makes the girl's heart race. "Thank you for your affection, but I'm not looking for a girlfriend. You should take these back."

The girl shoves everything into He Xu's arms, then turns and runs off, blushing, before he can refuse.

The smile vanishes from his face. He Xu tugs at the corner of his mouth and deftly tears the love letter in his hands into pieces. The pink paper flutters into the trash like snowflakes. As he raises his hand to throw away the chocolate, he suddenly freezes.

A leafy old tree stands not far away. A girl with a low ponytail sits on the grass with her back against the trunk. Their eyes meet, and she blinks her bright, watery almond eyes.

After a pause, He Xu lowers the hand holding the chocolate. His phoenix eyes narrow, and he smiles gently. "A girl's private feelings deserve to be kept private, so it's better to tear up the letter. You can have the chocolate, little girl."

Later, Xiang Ci points to the tall, slender boy beside her and introduces him, looking a little shy. His name is Tang Jiran, and he's her boyfriend.

For the first time, He Xu can't control his expression.

That night, He Xu drinks glass after glass with a friend at a bar. His friend teases him: "Stop drinking. Xiang Ci will think I got you drunk and come yell at me."

He Xu keeps smiling, but his friend suddenly freezes. "He Xu, why are you crying?"

"If your name is Ci, why won't you show me even the slightest compassion?"
