Reunited with My Ex on a Dating Show After Our Divorce

When Xia Shi and Ji Nanxiao first got married,

one was an idol who shot to fame after debuting on a talent show, while the other was a little-known actor.

Five years later,

Xia Shi's career had remained lukewarm, and he was always in danger of being swept away by the next wave of newcomers.

Ji Nanxiao, meanwhile, was at the height of his career, winning award after award.

The huge gap between their careers, along with misunderstandings caused by their busy schedules and time apart, eventually brought them to divorce.

After getting their divorce papers, Xia Shi prepared to never have anything to do with his ex again.

Who could have guessed that not long afterward, while filming a dating reality show, Xia Shi would see his ex-husband, who had just won Best Actor, greet him with a bright smile: "Hello, Teacher Xia."

Xia Shi put on his professional smile and ground out, "Actor Ji, it's so nice to see you."

-

The guest who was supposed to pair up with Xia Shi backed out, so Best Actor Ji Nanxiao stepped in at the last minute. The dating show became a hit before it even aired, and the buzz around it kept climbing.

It had all gone according to Ji Nanxiao's plan.

Except for Xia Shi himself...

Ji Nanxiao's fans flooded Xia Shi's Weibo with snide comments: Washed-up star, stop leeching off our brother's popularity, thanks!

Furious, Xia Shi jumped up and pulled Ji Nanxiao out of his blacklist:

"Get your fans under control. They didn't even know how to play in the mud back when you were climbing all over me in bed!"

"Let's part on good terms and face reality!"

"A good horse never eats the grass behind it. As soon as filming ends, I'm out of here!"

After firing off dozens of messages, Xia Shi felt refreshed and put him right back on the blacklist.

Ji Nanxiao wasn't angry. He gazed at the red exclamation mark and smiled eerily. "Baby, where do you think you're running off to?"

-

One stormy day during filming, a drunk Xia Shi wrapped his arms around Ji Nanxiao from behind and, in a soft, coquettish voice his fans had never heard, murmured, "Will you touch me?"

That night, someone knocked on Ji Nanxiao's door. Xia Shi, still tipsy, walked in and flopped onto the bed, dizzy.

"Baby, where'd your guard go?" Ji Nanxiao, pleased with himself after switching out the wine, cuddled him to sleep.

-

After the show ended, everyone was waiting for the two of them to announce they were dating.

Instead, they got a Weibo post saying, "Thanks, everyone. We've remarried."

Onlookers: Well, would you look at that. Was I part of your divorce roleplay all along?
