After Joining a Romance Show with My Ex-Boyfriend, the Movie Star

After an extremely messy breakup, Ji Yan was informed by his company that he would have to film a variety show alongside his ex-boyfriend, an award-winning actor. Let's Date Again is a relationship reality show that specializes in inviting celebrity exes to travel together and serve up "expired candy." Some of the other guests could still be friends after breaking up, while others still had feelings for each other, their glances practically dripping with longing. Only Ji Yan and Qin Jing, forced to play along, looked as if they wanted to kill each other. During filming, the two refused to cooperate or complete their tasks, lost a game, and were punished with a truth-or-dare question: What did it feel like to kiss each other? Ji Yan glanced at Qin Jing and taunted him. "I felt nothing!" Actor Qin pressed his lips together and shot back. "It was utterly boring!" To help the ratings, the host hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Then let's try another one. What are each other's good qualities?" Qin Jing lazily lifted his eyelids and smirked. "Does having an ex like me count?" Ji Yan: "..." They thought viewers would prefer the other ex-couples, but when the first episode aired, the two of them shot straight to the top of the trending list and set off a frenzy of discussion. Viewers: "Help, watching those two snipe at each other is so much fun!!" "I could watch a hundred episodes of this!" "Oh my, they're even better together now!"

I Woke Up Dating My Love Rival Since starting at Yuanzhong, Luo Shi's extraordinary talent for getting into trouble, along with his countless self-criticisms and disciplinary notices, had made him a notorious underachiever and school bully. Everyone knew his sworn enemy and love rival was the aloof academic genius Yi Lu Huai, who came first in his grade every time and gave off an unapproachable air. After accidentally cracking his head, Luo Shi lost his memory. When he woke up, he stared at the certificates filling the room and fell into deep thought. His mother told him that during the three years he'd forgotten, he'd become a diligent, well-rounded student with excellent grades. Luo Shi: ??? Everyone's attitude toward him had changed beyond recognition. He stayed up all night gaming, and his mother called through the door, "Don't study too late." He deliberately went without his school uniform, but when the dean spotted him, he only smiled kindly and reminded him, "Be careful next time." When he arrived late, his teacher even asked with concern, "Did something hold you up?" Luo Shi sat at his desk, questioning his whole life, when his group of buddies suddenly looked toward the door and excitedly nudged him. "Shi-ge, your boyfriend's here." Luo Shi was secretly delighted. Had he finally won over his dream girl? He looked up and saw a slender, upright figure. His love rival's expression was cool and composed as he raised an eyebrow at Luo Shi, seemingly without a care in the world. His buddies all called out in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law!" Luo Shi: "..." Theme: Sincere communication resolves problems, and misunderstandings become fewer.
