What?! Every Dating Show Guest Is My Ex

In the thrilling worlds of quick transmigration, Meng Yu was forced to complete scumbag missions. At last, he returned to reality, thinking he could go back to his aimless life as a minor actor with no prospects.

Then, driven by financial necessity, he joined a wildly popular dating show called Heartbeats, One Hundred Percent.

The good news: Dating is easy.

The bad news: Every contestant is one of his ex-boyfriends.

The show’s keywords are group dating, confinement, coercion, and guesswork. Every contestant is a top talent in his field, and together they make a star-studded lineup that would make anyone swoon. Only Meng Yu knows what they’re really like.

Contestant One: Li Hong, the heir apparent to the Shifang Group, who controls half the economy. He’s icy and aloof in public, but privately suffers from skin hunger and clings so tightly you can barely pry him off.

Contestant Two: Jiang Zihao, a Hundred Flowers Award-winning Best Actor. His smile is warm and healing, and no one in the industry has a bad word to say about him. In truth, he’s dark and obsessive inside, repressing a violent temper.

Contestant Three: Cheng He, an international SCC racer. He’s brash and unrestrained, a completely straight ABC who despises gay men, yet he’ll cling to Meng Yu in women’s clothes and coyly call him “Hubby.”

They have nothing in common. The one thing they share is that, in the quick transmigration worlds, Meng Yu exploited their weaknesses and tormented them without mercy. Every one of them met a miserable end.

Meng Yu, about to start a sweet new romance with them all over again: ...Thanks, but no thanks. I really want to run.

Luckily, they’ve all lost their memories of the quick transmigration worlds. Meng Yu suddenly feels he might still be able to salvage things. From now on, he isn’t a scumbag. He’s their best brother and sister, there for them twenty-four-seven.

The CEO’s skin hunger flares up.

Meng Yu knocks on his door, pretending not to understand: “Hey, if you’re itchy, go take a shower.”

The Best Actor is sleepless and drinking alone in the middle of the night.

Meng Yu’s eyes light up: “Perfect. Help me plow that half-acre of land by the door.”

The racer’s spoiled-princess temper kicks in.

Meng Yu mischievously pulls out a fluorescent Barbie-pink dress: “Girl, come on, this one’s perfect for you.”

All the contestants: He, he, he loves me!

The plan is to go their separate ways after the dating show ends, preferably never to meet again. But things start getting weird, and Meng Yu can’t put his finger on why.

The bed is always damp when he goes to sleep, so the cold and heartless CEO kindly invites him to share his bed.

The clothes he’s washed mysteriously go missing. The Best Actor solemnly insists he knows nothing about it, and that no one saw the shirt with the blue tie.

The carefree racer quietly tells him he bought a beautiful dress and will wear it just for him.

Meng Yu: ...You guys haven’t even taken your traditional medicine.

Q: What was your first impression of Meng Yu?

Li Hong (narrowing his eyes): Scheming.

Jiang Zihao (smiling): A pretty newcomer.

Cheng He (raising an eyebrow): A dummy.

Yet three months later, the production team held a vote to choose the contestant who made everyone’s heart race the most. The winner was Meng Yu, who had joined the show as a civilian guest.

The contestants (confidently): Whoever he picks, I’m the one who’ll end up with him.

Meng Yu (forcing a smile): Could you all please act normal?

[Holy crap... Someone get me a dog-training guide.]

P.S.:

An abstractly handsome, universally adored shou X gongs with all kinds of twisted traits.

“What a Pain, I Have Too Many Boyfriends”

“I Thought I Was Your One and Only, But I’m One of Five”

“I Lost My Memories, But My Body Didn’t. Isn’t Wanting to Kiss You Perfectly Normal?”

A ship-war harem, a one-man-and-five-dogs story. Three are shown in the blurb, but there are actually five.

The shou has one-on-one romances in the quick transmigration worlds. The dating show is a choose-your-favorite setup.

All the contestants have amnesia, but gradually recover their memories later. No side couples. Includes identity reveals, male rivals fighting over the same person, jealousy, and “who do you really love?”
