Blurb:

At first, research scientist Zhu Jiaran joins a women's fashion variety show because he can't afford to turn down the money. He only means to take a bit part and leave, but ends up stepping right into a giant mess.

Everyone else is trying hard to act like a girl, while he coasts all the way to the end on the strength of his astonishingly pretty face.

[Scenario One: Play the ghost in a game of hide-and-seek with ghosts, kill one person every night, and then have everyone figure out who the culprit is.]

Zhu Jiaran is so scared of ghosts that he cries in fright in the middle of the night. He never expects to become the ghost himself. With his pretty, pale little face and fragile appearance, no one can bring themselves to suspect him.

He makes it all the way to the end without being voted out, earning him the nickname "Best Actor."

Zhu Jiaran: ??? I didn't do it, I'm not the one.

[Scenario Two: At school, play a bully and villain, a popular rich young lady who torments the sweet, delicate female lead.]

But something about the scenario seems off. The sweet, delicate female lead pulls him into her arms. Are girls' chests really this hard? Can girls really take on ten people at once? This is a little intense, but she's so cute.

Then one day, he sees the sweet young lady lift her skirt toward him. With a wicked smile, she raises his chin.

"My little cutie, I still like you best."

Zhu Jiaran: …

As his popularity keeps rising and he's on track to debut as a top idol, even the popular young male heartthrob and actor who cross-dresses for the show starts looking at him strangely. He immediately clarifies, "I'm actually a guy!"

"She's so cute. She's still acting coy at a time like this."

"She's so cute when she tries to explain. What a little darling~"

"Wifey Qiqi, look at me. I'm your dog."

"If she's not a cute girl, I'll eat my keyboard."

To avoid the attention from certain men, he sticks close to Yan Xuanxuan, the only other genuine girl on the show and his good teammate. Before they know it, they're holding hands and embarking on a wonderful journey of girls being close and cuddly. Their yuri pairing even becomes the show's highest-rated couple for a while.

Zhu Jiaran feels like he's tarnished the young woman's reputation with all their intimate contact, so once they leave, he needs to treat her right and take responsibility.

After the show, he goes on his first real-life date with his good friend Yan Xuanxuan. There he sees a man in a perfectly tailored suit, his narrow eyes cold and sinister without a smile.

"Why are you here? Are you her brother?"

Realizing he's been tricked, he turns to run, but Yan Nanxuan grabs him and pulls him into his arms. The business genius who can calculate every move in the world trembles as he gently coaxes him,

"After all these years, why don't we go home and have dinner together, like we used to?"

1. The two were childhood sweethearts and playful rivals when they were young.

2. Silly variety show.

3. The research is made up, though it draws on real life. The experiment really does exist, and so do the Ig Nobel Prizes.
