I Slacked Off on a Dating Show and Became a Viral Sensation

New book: Improving the Atmosphere After Transmigrating into a Stepmother Romance

[Blurb]

Song Di, a C-list actress on the verge of being dragged through the mud, joins a dating reality show.

The other female guests arrive in heavy makeup, low-cut tops, and high heels.

Song Di arrives in a bright red Northeastern Chinese padded jacket, pink fleece-lined flower sneakers, and greets everyone with a slight hesitation: "Ladies, are you cold?"

"The female guest who wins the race will get to choose two male guests to share a grand meal with."

Song Di remembers the terror of being ruled by the 50-meter dash in middle and high school.

The female guests stretch and get ready. Song Di's gaze is unwavering.

"Bang! Go!"

"Oh no~ I fell~"

"Please make a declaration of love to the male guests!"

Woman #1: "I hope the person I like will choose me."

Woman #2: "Maybe you like eating my egg fried rice every day?"

Woman #3: "Spending this time together has really stirred my heart."

Song Di: "Stop making women compete against each other! Working women of the world, unite!"

And then, somehow, Song Di became an overnight sensation.

Her fans: The way she lies on the beach like a salted fish makes me love her so much!

Then, midway through the show, a top student with flowing long hair, fair skin, and an incredibly pure, beautiful face joined the cast.

Song Di would gladly call her the purest woman on earth!

Song Di thinks she has a chance!

And so, the idle fish turns into a devoted simp...

Director (reaching out like Er Kang): Wait a second! This isn't how things are supposed to go! This is a serious dating show!

Note: 1. The inspiration and some of the setting come from the Korean show Single's Inferno.

Coming July 1: The Philosopher Falls for the Cemetery Director

[POV 1]

Bai Ning, the youngest female professor in the philosophy department at B University, is 33 and has been single since birth, driving her parents crazy.

Her relatives: "Your Xiao Ning is beautiful and has a respectable job. Why doesn't she find someone? How about my nephew?"

"Does she like younger men? Would a ten-year age gap be okay? My grandson is about to graduate from university."

"Does Xiao Ning like women?! My aunt's cousin's second aunt's niece is as pretty as a flower, and she's single! She likes women too! She's had several girlfriends!"

Bai Ning politely declines: "I agree with something Pascal once said: We can never truly fall in love with a person. We only ever fall in love with a person's attributes."

All her relatives are stunned: ??? Does she mean she'll be a lifelong queen of singledom?

Her father is alive, she has plenty of relatives, and the whole family is lively.

On her 33rd birthday, Bai Ning buys herself a burial plot.

This causes a huge stir among her relatives.

Her second aunt: "Our big brother's youngest daughter has always been clever, but her ideas have always been ahead of their time, too."

Bai Ning's older brother's 17-year-old son: "What?! My little aunt really bought herself a burial plot? She's so freaking awesome! I love her so much!"

Bai Ning's 60-year-old father shakes with anger: "Ungrateful daughter! How about buying one for us, too?!"

Bai Ning adjusts her glasses and says solemnly, "I always remember what Plato said: A philosopher spends their whole life preparing for death."

[POV 2]

Li Tiyin is one of the entertainment industry's breathtaking leading ladies. Her fans don't know she has another identity: director of one of China's most distinctive modern cemeteries.

She owns thousands of acres of luxurious cemetery gardens, complete with deluxe VIP villas for the deceased.

She has a younger brother who studies philosophy at B University.

Then one day, on his 22nd birthday, her beloved idiot of a little brother gives her a burial plot of his own.

Li Tiyin is shocked: What on earth is wrong with my brother?

After interrogating him, she learns that the philosophy department at B University has a clueless female professor. To save her brother's values and outlook on life, Li Tiyin decides to go and "educate" this psychologically damaged old woman.

Much later.

Li Tiyin: "Get that burial plot refunded! From now on, we'll both be cremated and scattered beneath a tree as fertilizer. We should give something back to society while we're alive!"

Bai Ning nods obediently: "Okay, wife."

Philosophy professor, indifferent to life and death × Gorgeous celebrity, chaotic to the core, and director of a super cemetery.

1. Older top.

2. Six-year age gap.
