The Universally Hated One Lies Flat and Becomes a Sensation

[Please add my upcoming story, Going Viral After Joining a Dating Show with My Rich Ex-Husband] Bai Jinche transmigrated into a wealthy-family novel as a cannon-fodder shou. The original owner had been lost as a child. The protagonist shou was the parents' adopted child, obedient and sensible, while the original owner was unruly and hot-tempered. Everyone loved the protagonist shou, including the original owner's older brother and childhood friend. No matter how hard the original owner tried, nobody loved him. In the end, he was ruined and disgraced, then locked away in a psychiatric hospital by his parents on the grounds that he was mentally ill. He was tortured to death. Having learned how the whole story went, Bai Jinche said: What the hell? I'm going to slack off! I'm going to stay out of trouble! To avoid the plot, Bai Jinche joined a boy band audition show. From the start, everything went horribly wrong. An ugly photo he'd deliberately taken in high school was posted online, and the whole internet mocked him and campaigned to keep him out of the group. After joining, he spent every day dodging cameras and slacking off, and people spread rumors that he was acting like a diva. When he stood a little too close to his mentor, people accused him of pushing a couple ship. Bai Jinche, a lazy couch potato who was determined to coast through life, was delighted to see all this: That's right, keep promoting me like that! Let me coast for a few months! After a while, public opinion completely turned around: Where's my husband? Where's my big, handsome husband? It's our fault we didn't vote you into the group! All fans, listen up: vote with everything you've got! Hehehe, I love the ship between my husband and his teammate! Bai Jinche struggled to calm himself down: It's fine. The original owner's parents and family definitely won't let him appear in public! There's still time to turn this around! But then His parents realized how badly they'd failed him and doted on him even more, completely supporting his boy band career. His older brother slapped himself repeatedly to apologize and poured money into getting him voted into the group. His childhood friend regretted everything, begged for forgiveness, and spent a fortune promoting him. The adopted son was locked up for treatment, and there was no chance of him stirring up trouble again. Bai Jinche, now the most popular star in the entertainment industry, could only sigh: You weren't like this a few months ago... To get the plot back on track, Bai Jinche came up with a clever plan: get close to the novel's main villain. The villain was a powerful investor in the entertainment industry. He was ruthless and underhanded, proud and aloof, and hated flashy gold diggers trying to climb the ladder. Bai Jinche wanted to use him to get himself banished overseas and retire there. Every day, he sent cheery morning, noon, and night greetings. Every day, he sent love poems. Every day, he sent flowers. At last the villain had had enough. Bai Jinche hurriedly packed his bags, waiting for a plane ticket to send him abroad, when he overheard the villain talking to his assistant. The usually proud and arrogant villain asked the assistant, his eyes red: Why doesn't he like me? Why? Warnings: This is a trashy, self-indulgent story with no real-life models. The characters' values don't represent the author's. Please be gentle with me! Blurb posted on 9/13 Upcoming story: Going Viral After Joining a Dating Show with My Rich Ex-Husband Xu Yinan and his ex-husband He Xiao got together entirely because they got drunk. After they woke up, their parents caught them and sent them off to get married. They were worlds apart in status. He Xiao was a rich second-generation heir, a darling of the heavens. He became famous as soon as he entered the entertainment industry, then became a powerful investor. He was a major star who had long since retired. Xu Yinan, on the other hand, entered the entertainment industry because He Xiao's family looked down on him. After years in the business, he was still a minor celebrity whose name people only vaguely recognized as He Xiao's ex. After a huge argument, the two fell out for good. Xu Yinan was heartbroken and convinced that He Xiao didn't love him at all, so they divorced. On the day they divorced, the hashtag #CongratulationsToHeXiaoOnHisDivorce quickly took over every major platform. Two years after their divorce, He Xiao suddenly approached him and said they should appear together on a dating show. His reason was that the new boyfriend he'd just found was giving him the cold shoulder, and He Xiao wanted to make him jealous. Xu Yinan: He Xiao, are you crazy? He Xiao: We'll film a variety show. I'll pay you 150,000 a day, then another five million once I win him over. Xu Yinan: Deal. - The day they announced the dating show, the whole internet was stunned: Did these two get back together? A little bird told me it's fake. Something's wrong with He Xiao's family, so he's teaming up with his ex to make money. Xu Yinan must be using this as an excuse to demand a fortune. They'll split up as soon as filming's over. Same old story! Curious netizens flocked to the show to find out the truth, only to have every assumption shattered. He Xiao was way too in love with Xu Yinan... The arrogant He Xiao, who never asked anyone for anything, was afraid Xu Yinan would be cold and begged the production team to pay more than ten times the usual price for heating. He was always losing things and forgetting things, but he never forgot what Xu Yinan liked. He usually wore a cold expression, but one comment from Xu Yinan, "You look so handsome today", was enough to turn his face and neck red. The viewers instantly became fans of the couple: I'm eating this up! I'm eating this up! - As the dating show became popular, people dug up Xu Yinan's old TV series, movies, and advertisements one by one. Oh my god, I missed so many precious videos of Nannan! Ah, Nannan was so young and fresh-faced back then. How dare he marry He Xiao so young! He Xiao, you'd better have forced our Nannan to join the dating show with you. Break up with him as soon as filming ends. Nannan is mine! He Xiao: ...What the hell? - After filming wrapped, Xu Yinan received a huge sum of money. Just as he was about to leave, the young boyfriend He Xiao had always claimed to be pursuing blushed and asked him: Can I pursue you? Xu Yinan: ??? The young boyfriend: I'm fake. He Xiao hired me just so he could get back together with you, but I don't think he deserves you! Xu Yinan: What is going on here!? - He Xiao had secretly loved Xu Yinan for years, but he was so bad with words that he couldn't win him over. After they finally got together by a twist of fate, they broke up because he was still bad with words. This time, He Xiao had figured it out. He had to take good care of his wife, accept whatever his wife said, and clear away every obstacle. But this pursuit of his wife was taking a while...
