Swapping Exes with My Doomed Brother on a Dating Show

Coming soon: "The Sickly Beauty Fake Young Master Is Given to a Powerful Man" and "After the Pika-Tufted Rabbit Turns Human, It Marries Its Natural Enemy." Blurbs below~

Lu Ming is a top-tier star who has won both awards and box office success. Flashy, high-profile, and carefree, he somehow ended up fake-dating Mu Yuanchuan, a senior actor at his company.

After the company shoved him onto the dating show The Exes' Swap Diary, he simply dragged his workaholic older brother, Xu Jingzhou, onto the show with him.

On the surface, they are enemies. In private, they're the world's most unlucky pair of biological brothers.

CEO Xu is sharp-tongued, strict, and always meddling in everything. Lu Ming is the poor little deer who finally escaped his cage after going through so much hardship!

All he wants is to watch the aloof, celibate big boss's public image crumble on the show.

Besides, he's always had a bone to pick with his brother's former fiance, Zhou Xingzhao.

He has a gloomy personality and a deep scheming streak. When they were kids, he was always teasing Lu Ming, including, but not limited to, ruffling his hair and pinching his cheeks whenever they met, coaxing him to call him "big brother" with all kinds of treats, and dressing him in cute little outfits that got photographed, leaving behind countless embarrassing memories...

They call each other childhood friends, but really, they're sworn enemies.

There's no way this big bad wolf agreed to join the show for innocent reasons. Hopefully, once it's over, he'll cut ties with Lu Ming's brother for good!

But people make plans, and fate laughs.

On the very first day of filming, they drew lots, and somehow he and his brother ended up swapping exes.

Lu Ming: QAQ Is it really going to get this intense right from the start?!

Director: Surprised? Heart pounding? That's exactly the point.

Lu Ming: ...

Zhou Xingzhao is the worst. All he does is bully people! How is Lu Ming supposed to play this?

Early in the show's run, netizens grabbed their snacks and sat in the front row, waiting for the showdown.

Fans: Our Lu is going to get picked on if he's paired with his enemy's former fiance, sob! That big shot Zhou is definitely here to get back together with him!

Antis: He thinks he's so cool and high-profile. Those two CEO big shots should teach him a lesson!

Later, the dating show taught the trending topics all kinds of new tricks:

#AreTheyTheKindOfSwornEnemiesWhoBlushWhenTheyShareABed#

#IWantAnEnemyLikeThatWhoCanHandleTheLittleGreenTeaAndMakeHimApologizeToOurBaby#

#SeniorActor: Little Lu And I Are Family#

Antis: So I'm the clown after all.

As filming continued, Lu Ming gradually realized that the big bad wolf was acting strange.

To everyone else: No, I'm busy, don't ask.

To him, putting juice in his hand: I'll cook. I'll take care of the mission.

Lu Youyou: ?

Fans: Whoa! Lu is holding this whole showdown together with his charm alone!

CP fans: His sworn enemy is washing his hands to make him a meal out of love? Baby, choose him!

Lu, whose legs had gone weak from being "bullied" by a certain jealous man: Don't @ me. I still want to be able to get out of bed.

After a live stream of truth or dare, the trending topics chose to lie flat:

#ThoseTwoUnluckyRivalsAreActuallyBrothers#

#MovieEmperorMuConfessesToBigBrotherXuAndHisExBecomesHisSisterInLaw#

#ZhouXingzhaoAdmitsHesBeenInLoveWithLuMingForYears#

Lu Ming: I hate that Zhou guy the most... I like him~ I want a kiss~

Zhou Xingzhao: Good boy. How about we get engaged again? This time, for real.

[Zhou Xingzhao fell for Lu Ming at first sight.]

Main couple:

A gorgeous, cool, and cocky cat-like bottom with a sharp tongue and a soft heart VS a scheming, doting top

Side couple:

An aloof, celibate, sharp-tongued CEO bottom who fiercely protects his own VS a clingy wolfdog top who seems easygoing on the surface

Tips:

★ Both couples had already broken up before joining the show. There are no feelings between either original couple, and the reasons will be explained in the story.

★ One-on-one pairings, sweet romance, a fake love-triangle showdown, and a touch of everyone doting on the leads.

★ Lu Youyou takes his mother's surname. No one knows the two are brothers~

★ The side couple gets very little page time. Extra stories may be added depending on how things go.

"The Sickly Beauty Fake Young Master Is Given to a Powerful Man"

A brutal wolfdog, controlling, doting top VS a corrupted little madman, sickly beauty bottom

Ji Yang endured his father's domestic abuse from childhood, hiding his talents and bearing it in silence as he secretly plotted to escape with his mother. Then, by chance, he discovered that he had been switched at birth, and the one who had taken his rightful identity was... the young master who had stolen his ex.

He's sickly and covered in wounds, while the other guy is a spoiled, arrogant fool who has always been loved. Why should that be?

Once he learned the truth, all he wanted was to make those who had hurt him pay.

When his father sent him to a brutal big shot in exchange for benefits, he didn't resist or run.

Rumor had it the big shot liked obedient ones, and that he'd chew people up without leaving a bone. But Ji Yang didn't have many years left, so he was determined to play with fire.

When he first met Liang Huanyun, the current head of the century-old Duan family,

he shed his timid facade, straddled the big shot's lap, and smiled. "How about making a deal with me?"

The young man was tall and slender, with exquisite features. Though pale and frail, his smile was captivating, like a white rose covered in morning dew.

Pure white, yet irresistibly alluring.

Liang Huanyun: What do you have to offer?

Ji Yang: Myself. I'll give you all of me, willingly.

The beautiful young man before him was nothing like the rumors. He was obsessive and resolute, and Liang Huanyun was captivated. He agreed to a contractual relationship, telling the world they were just friends.

Ji Yang didn't go to claim his birth family. He planned to stick to his original plan, but one thing after another went wrong.

His biological father, mother, and older brother came looking for him, bringing desserts and all kinds of custom designer clothes. They even offered him resources and wanted to give him a company to play with.

Ji Yang: ...?

On top of that, Big Shot Liang was acting strange in every way.

Ji Yang liked taking baths, so Liang Huanyun ran his bath every day, complete with flower petals and a milk bath. Ji Yang's hands and feet were freezing, so Liang Huanyun warmed them whenever he could. Ji Yang liked desserts, so Liang Huanyun learned to bake for him...

Ji Yang: What happened to the brutal wolfdog? What happened to the man who kills without blinking?

Their in-the-know friends and family: That's all fake! He's clearly obsessed with his wife!

Later, Ji Yang took charge of a unicorn company and became a breakout star even in a supporting role, turning the real young master who played the lead into a mere foil.

At the height of the controversy, a photo of him being pinned down and kissed by the Liang family's big shot suddenly appeared on the trending list. The public erupted, and people accused him of being a pretty boy who used connections to get ahead.

The Liang family held a banquet, and the media and netizens came expecting gossip, only to stumble into a whole melon patch.

Huh? So Ji Yang is the big shot's actual boyfriend?

Wait, what? Ji Yang's ex and the young master he truly loved have fallen out?

And what? That pampered young master has been kicked out of the family?!

Once everything was settled, Ji Yang packed up and prepared to leave, planning to find somewhere to end this life that wasn't worth living. But when he saw the big shot lock the door, he was a little confused.

Ji Yang: We agreed we'd break up when this was over.

Liang Huanyun: I've changed my mind. Stay.

Looking at the real, brutal big shot, whose burning gaze seemed ready to devour him whole, Ji Yang coughed and played innocent. "Who are you? I don't know you."

Liang Huanyun: ...I'm your fiance. The wedding is next month.

Ji Yang: ...? Could you please follow the rules, contestant?

Tips:

★ One-on-one pairing, both virgins, lighthearted and extra sweet~

★ Not an everyone-loves-the-lead story

"After the Pika-Tufted Rabbit Turns Human, It Marries Its Natural Enemy"

A naturally sly, straightforward pika-tufted rabbit bottom VS a cold, sinister, jealous, doting big-shot top

Zhizhi the pika-tufted rabbit died in a wolf's jaws and transmigrated into Bai Zhi, the youngest son of a wealthy family who'd been left to fend for himself. His reputation was awful, and even cats and dogs couldn't stand him.

He was happy to be left alone, growing grass at home and streaming without showing his face, but before he had fully adjusted to his new life, he was forcibly dragged home to enter an arranged marriage.

The first time he met his marriage partner, the other man's wolf eyes were cold and sinister.

Bai Zhi, trembling with fear: Don't eat me. Eating people is against the law QAQ

Xie Yuzhan: ...Are you afraid of me?

Bai Zhi: The kind of fear you feel when you meet your natural enemy.

He was soft, timid, and rabbit-like, completely different from the way he used to be.

Xie Yuzhan: If you behave, I promise I won't eat you. We'll divorce in a year.

The arranged marriage was a temporary measure. He didn't care about Bai Zhi's change in personality. It was good that Bai Zhi was afraid of him.

Forced to live together, Bai Zhi did his best to avoid the sinister big shot. But...

He ate grass at every meal, while Big Shot Xie ate meat every day and was always watching him.

Was he treating Bai Zhi like emergency rations, fattening him up before gobbling him down?

To save himself, he asked for help in his livestream: How do I get a meat-eater to switch to a vegetarian diet?

His fans egged him on: The precious bunny should make him a meal with his own hands!

So, on top of growing and tending grass, he picked up a new hobby: making vegetarian meals for the big shot.

Watching the person wearing a rabbit apron preparing a loving meal in the kitchen,

Xie Yuzhan thought: Is he trying to flirt with me?

Bai Zhizhi: If you eat my cooking, you can't eat me, okay? owo~

Big Shot Xie nodded. The fun of pursuing someone, he understood.

His bargain wife was pretty cute. Maybe they didn't need to get divorced after all?

When the year was up, Bai Zhi, who had become famous for growing grass, pushed the divorce papers in front of the big shot. "Divorce. Apart from my grass, I don't want anything else."

Xie Yuzhan, who was preparing to hold a belated wedding: ...You don't like me?

Bai Zhi was confused. "When a wolf catches a rabbit and doesn't eat it right away, it's just playing with it. Once it gets bored, it'll eat it sooner or later. So why would I like you?"

Only then did Xie Yuzhan realize that Bai Zhi hadn't been joking when he called him his natural enemy.

But he had never lacked patience, and he would never let go of something he wanted.

He just hadn't expected his biggest rival in love to be the lush green world of grass.

In the livestream...

Bunny, come home with me: Baby, what will it take for you to say yes?

Fans: He's going crazy again. Kick him out. Bunny eats snow lotuses. You can't afford to keep him!

But the next moment, someone appeared on camera, holding a snow lotus.

Fans: !!!!!!

Xie Yuzhan: I planted a whole greenhouse of snow lotuses for you. They're blooming now, so you can have as many as you want.

The fans had just realized this was the meat-eating big shot Zhizhi the rabbit always talked about when the screen went black. Hearing the commotion, the livestream chat exploded:

If you've got the guts to eat the bunny, then you've got the guts to leave the camera on!
