I Went Viral on a Dating Show After Becoming a Fake Young Master

An Ci had spent twenty years as a winner in life, succeeding at everything he tried.

Then he transmigrated into a book as the fake young master. After the original fake young master's identity was exposed, his parents, who had long been unhappy with him, found the real young master and kicked him out. He pursued his dream of breaking into showbiz, but failed at everything. He was awkward with words and empty-headed, and even the fans drawn in by his pretty face turned against him.

His husband, whom he'd married for business reasons, was a real scumbag. He'd been secretly in love with the real young master for years and ignored An Ci completely.

An Ci: "? Bye-bye!"

He left without hesitation, got a divorce, and cleaned up the mess.

He turned the tide on a talent show, and the national orchestra invited him to join their cello tour.

After he gained a little fame, the romance variety show he'd been contracted to appear on before came knocking, asking him to join the program with his "husband."

His former "husband" called. "If you need help, I can make an exception and go on the show with you."

An Ci: "Sorry, who are you?"

After he told the production team that he was divorced, he could only appear as a commentator instead of a guest.

An Ci just wanted to coast, but his ability to spot scumbags was maxed out.

Confronted with a male guest who was two-timing, An Ci said impatiently, "Stop talking and wait for the lightning to strike."

The male guest flew into a rage.

His former "husband": "You scared my wife."

When a mama's boy tried to justify himself, An Ci applauded. "There's no one like Mom. Otherwise, who'd want to raise a useless wreck like you?"

The mama's boy was furious and humiliated.

His former "husband": "You're ugly enough to offend my wife."

When someone made the excuse, "It's exhausting to work hard on my career," An Ci smiled. "I haven't seen your career go anywhere, though."

Before the other person could express their anger, his former "husband" fixed them with a menacing glare.

The guests: "..."

An Ci became a sensation.

Viewers: "Who is this guy, and why is he so bold? Is he really not going to get beaten up?!"

An Ci: "Sorry, no."

His former "husband" inexplicably found his conscience. Not only did he give An Ci half his assets, he also bought him a car and a house. Worried about his safety, he stayed by his side and sent countless messages whenever he couldn't see him.

He even found An Ci's biological parents. His mother was a billionaire, and his father was a leading scientist. When they saw him, they felt both heartbroken and overjoyed, and in their nervousness could only stuff bank cards into his hands. "Be good. Don't let yourself suffer."

An Ci: "..."

Netizens: "?!"

At the family dinner they'd spent so long preparing for, An Ci looked at his ex-husband. "Why are you here?"

His grandmother introduced him. "Xiao Ci, he's the neighbor's son! We watched him grow up. He's a good boy!"

An Ci: "..."

His ex-husband: "I heard we were even promised to each other as babies."

At the lively family dinner, An Ci leaned close to his ex-husband with a half-smile and whispered in his ear, "Don't want your white moonlight anymore?"

"There is no white moonlight. There's only you."

Currently writing Top-Tier Star Actor Keeps Pairing Himself with Me

Blurb:

At nineteen, Jiang Mian had a happy family and a privileged upbringing. He was the handsome heartthrob of his theater academy, and his first role was the lead in a film by a top director, acting opposite a rising award-winning actor.

At twenty-four, Jiang Mian's father was in prison and his mother had died. For his ailing grandmother, he signed himself over to a ruthless agency.

To raise money as quickly as possible, Jiang Mian followed the agency's orders and manufactured a BL pairing to gain fans.

The rising award-winning actor he'd worked with back then had since won so many trophies he could barely hold them all. With an excellent reputation and broad popularity, he was an undisputed top-tier star. Most importantly, after eighteen years in the industry, he was appearing for the first time as a mentor on an acting variety show.

The agency forced Jiang Mian onto the show and repeatedly urged him to ride the actor's coattails!

Looking at the actor who had played his same-sex lover five years earlier, Jiang Mian gritted his teeth. Since he had to manufacture a pairing anyway, he might as well latch onto the biggest star!

Even negative attention was still attention!

And so...

Among four mentors and tens of thousands of viewers, he only looked at the man in the middle.

During rehearsals, everyone got a bottle of water, but he insisted on drinking from the man's thermos.

He sweetly called the other mentors and guests "brother" and "sister," but addressed the man he'd worked with as he had in the old film: "Teacher Gu."

Bracing himself for a torrent of abuse, Jiang Mian nervously opened the comments on Weibo, only to find no profanity.

Instead, they said:

My dear sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law, you're finally back!

Boo-hoo, I'm dying over this pairing. I knew Sleeping Alone was real!

Can you two get together? Sister-in-law, do you know how Teacher Gu has spent the five years you were gone?!

Jiang Mian was bewildered. "Huh? How did he spend them?"

=

After filming the variety show, Jiang Mian was sent by his agency to a film set, where he decided to ride someone else's coattails.

But the aloof, otherworldly actor Gu came after him. "Can you pair up with just me?"

=

Why did the actor Gu, who never wanted to appear on camera for anything except movies, suddenly join a variety show?

Who gave him the thermos he always carries? And whose favorite drink is inside?

And who was it that, after finishing that film, never took another role with a romance storyline, unable to forget the way he was called "Teacher Gu"?
