I Survive the Dating Game by Gawking at Gossip

Mu Tan transmigrates into the role of an utterly ordinary background character and gets bound to a "gossip System."

If he can collect enough gossip from romance games, Mu Tan can go home. So he starts taking his binoculars and staking out all sorts of juicy scenes every day.

Today, he watches a domineering CEO act like a lovesick puppy. Tomorrow, he catches a flirtatious guy two-timing four people. The day after, he sees a possessive, seductive doctor pry open a patient's mouth and stuff his own bone between his lover's teeth.

Mu Tan, who thinks he's totally straight: "Why are they all men?"

The gossip System gives him a goofy grin and spits out a watermelon seed: "It's a bromance romance game, so of course they're all men."

Mu Tan: "..."

Men it is, then. Watching the points in his gossip System shoot up, Mu Tan is secretly delighted.

Then one day, Mu Tan stands on a bridge watching two men fight below, trading punches and kicks.

He nudges the cold-faced, handsome guy beside him, who hasn't said a word: "Hey, man, are you here for the gossip too?"

Qiao Jing: "..."

Then the two men below shout in unison to the man beside Mu Tan: "A Jing!"

Mu Tan: Isn't that the male lead of this game? The ultimate gossip magnet was right beside me all along!

Qiao Jing thinks he has no redeeming qualities, yet a whole bunch of men keep hovering around him, fussing over him and constantly bothering him. It's enough to drive him crazy, so he avoids them whenever he can.

But one day, Qiao Jing notices a man who seems to be wherever the excitement is, grinning all day with a cup of lemon water in his hands.

The man's bright eyes, like scattered stars, tumble straight into Qiao Jing's heart.

Qiao Jing's ears turn red: "..."

Someone's heart skips a beat.

*This may change, but at heart it's still a gossip-themed story~

*An ultra-sweet little treat~
