I Went on a Dating Show With My Late Wife

Ye Fu had to take time off from school due to illness and spent six months in an online relationship.

He told his online partner he had been sick for a long time, and if one day he stopped logging on, he might very well be dead.

The other person said he was from Miaojiang and could use Gu to treat illness. Maybe he could cure Ye Fu, so Ye Fu should give it a try.

Later, Ye Fu was hospitalized and forced to quit the internet. After he was discharged, he had forgotten his account password. The online relationship simply fizzled out.

Gu Jichen became an award-winning actor early in his career. When asked what he looked for in a partner, the aloof star replied, "My late spouse has been gone for many years. I will never marry anyone else."

The media was stunned. "What? You're barely in your twenties!"

Although the award-winning actor was cold and distant, rumors had it that he was descended from the people of Miaojiang. Anyone who tried to frame him would inexplicably run into bad luck and suffer minor ailments.

The actor's reputation as Miaojiang's most devoted widower spread far and wide, making him a hot topic and the perfect subject of gossip. But for years, his fans couldn't find a suitable partner to pair him with.

Ye Fu was a nobody, a thirty-sixth-tier actor. His health was much better than before, but he still fell ill often. He joined a dating reality show where the participants pretended to be newlyweds.

As an unknown, he greeted every popular senior star, then noticed one person staring at him intently.

Ye Fu: "A-award-winning actor, hello...?"

During the partner selection segment, the award-winning actor chose him.

Ye Fu had heard of the actor's reputation as Miaojiang's most devoted widower. He was extremely cautious during the romantic tasks, afraid that getting too close would make the actor dislike him and curse him with a heart-piercing Gu, a death Gu, a bone-eating Gu...

Even when they shared a bed, Ye Fu kept a whole meter between himself and the actor.

What Ye Fu didn't know was that the actor was grinding his teeth in fury, eyes red with anger.

A few days later, in the emotional analysis room:

The actor: "I met my late spouse online. Back then, I hadn't learned enough Miao medicine to save him, and he died."

The more Ye Fu listened, the more familiar it sounded. "?"

Ye Fu immediately posted online for advice: I once disappeared without saying goodbye to my online partner, and he thought I'd been dead for years. Now we've met again. By the way, he's from Miaojiang. Will he use Gu worms, spiders, or snakes to get revenge on me for ghosting him?

Netizens: "Ah, Ye Fu, is that you posting? Our advice is to go register your marriage right now!"

Ye Fu: "? Wait, how did you recognize me?"

Ye Fu typed another post: I don't mind if he uses Gu worms to refine me. But I'm afraid of snakes. How can I tactfully ask him if he can use only a love Gu, and not use snakes?

The award-winning actor, resting in the same room, opened the door and saw Ye Fu posting for advice. He leaned close to Ye Fu's ear and whispered, "Mm. Then what kind of love Gu do you want?"

1. The story's mention of using Gu against rivals is only a rumor. The protagonist practices traditional Chinese medicine, which has a scientific basis.

I've revised the blurb. The plotline about a worm mother returning to the modern world probably won't be used anymore. Sorry.

Theme: Cherish the person before you.
