Working on a Top-Tier Dating Show Until It Turns into a Shura Field

Next up: "Doomed to Survive (Disaster Quick Transmigration)"

A slow-paced travel dating show, "Sweet Island". Seven of its eight contestants are the very picture of their character archetypes. Male Contestant No. 1 is a handsome, aloof CEO, wealthy and accomplished, with a business empire spanning every industry and several courtyard homes within Beijing's Second Ring Road.

Female Contestant No. 1 has a tiny waist and a voluptuous figure, fair skin and stunning looks. Warm and lively, she's a fake heiress who turned her life around, a famous beauty influencer, and as close as sisters with the real heiress, a rich and beautiful young woman.

Male Contestant No. 2 is a baby-faced, sweet young man, so fair and delicate-looking that he doesn't seem like a nerd from a science and engineering field. He started his own business before graduating from university, and before turning thirty, he's already achieved financial freedom.

Female Contestant No. 2 is cool and adorably absent-minded. A genius prodigy famous since childhood, she finished university at fifteen and earned her doctorate at twenty. Now she works at a research institute, contributing to humanity's future.

The others include a sunny, handsome world fencing champion, a glamorous and mysterious older-sister-type musician, and a refined, gentle university professor.

It's as if the leads of seven different novels have all been thrown together. Every one of them shines, so outstanding it's almost infuriating.

Except for Gu Zhibai, an ordinary working girl from the countryside, so poor she has nothing to her name. Always in a white T-shirt and jeans, she's hardworking and frugal, with nothing going for her but her beauty. Among the others, she's like a taro ball in a sea of South Sea golden pearls, so conspicuous it's almost pitiful.

The viewers can't help commenting: "Was this young lady just grabbed from the crew? The difference is like heaven and earth. Standing next to the other contestants, she looks like a princess beside a pauper."

Gu Zhibai: Thanks for asking. They're here to travel, have fun, and find romance. I'm genuinely here to do odd jobs. Just an unlucky world-System staffer from the back office, dragged here to work. T_T

A bug in the System's backend has caused seven worlds to merge. To keep them from collapsing, the staff have gathered the protagonists of fortune from all seven worlds in one place, hoping to fix the bug and separate the worlds as soon as possible.

And this dating show is the little black room they've prepared for them.

Gu Zhibai's job is to buy as much time as possible while meeting their needs, keeping their personalities from breaking down and their plots from going off track, so they don't return home with their character settings in shambles. She works diligently: helping Contestant No. 1 figure out her date's personality, offering advice when Male Contestant No. 2 is stumped over the hobbies of the girl he likes, suggesting date spots to matched contestants, and comforting heartbroken contestants who've been rejected... Behind every pair of contestants who fall for each other stands Gu Zhibai, quietly doing her part.

At the last date, the contestants are free to choose their own partners. All seven date invitation cards bear the same name.

Gu Zhibai, holding all seven invitation cards: ...What just happened?!!!

At the beginning of the show, viewers say: "Gu Zhibai's eyes are practically sparkling as she looks at the male contestants. So annoying."

"Am I the only one who fast-forwards whenever Gu Zhibai shows up?"

"Why is Gu Zhibai everywhere? She's so annoying. With a poor, shabby look like hers, would anyone really want her? People should know their place."

Later in the show, viewers say: "So Prince Charming really can fall in love with Cinderella. I'm a sucker for this stuff, give me ten more episodes, don't make me beg."

"Why can girls date girls too? This show's really going for it."

"Gu Zhibai, just take all seven! I approve of your heart having room for durian. Seven isn't too many, and there's room for me too."

Tip:

1. The male lead is split into multiple characters. Everyone except the female lead is the male lead.

My next novel is "Doomed to Survive (Disaster Quick Transmigration)". If you're interested, please add it to your favorites. Here's the blurb:

Doomed to survive: to stay alive in a desperate situation.

Gao Yuyi was born beautiful. Everyone said she was made for show business, and she had always worked toward that goal.

A woman from her village had worked as an extra in the entertainment industry years ago and was now successful. She was eager to give a girl from her hometown a helping hand.

Gao Yuyi was full of gratitude. But just as she was about to sign the contract, her heart suddenly began to race. She felt it pounding in her chest and changed her mind, saying she didn't want to sign after all.

Everyone in the room stared at her with ill intent.

The older girl was still as gentle and kind as ever. She asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you worried about something? I promise nothing like last night, when someone barged into your room, will happen again. And I definitely won't leave you alone at a drinking table like before."

Gao Yuyi looked sincere. "Sis, the apocalypse is coming. Why don't you come back to our hometown with me? The big city won't be safe."

Everyone in the room: ???

The agent asked the older girl with a look: Is there something wrong with your sister's head?

Even if there was something wrong with her head, with that face and figure she could still fetch a good price. The older girl gritted her teeth, her voice so gentle it seemed to drip with sweetness. "Yuyi, the apocalypse is coming, so we should make more money. How else will we survive when it comes? Show business is the fastest way to make money. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you from now on."

Prophecies only save those destined to hear them. The older girl wasn't one of Gao Yuyi's destined people. Gao Yuyi made an excuse to use the restroom and escaped by pretending to pee.

Gao Yuyi returned to the countryside, rebuilt her family home, stockpiled supplies, planted crops, and started livestreaming, becoming a small-time influencer.

The villagers all said she was crazy. She could have been a big star, but instead she came back to the village to be a country bumpkin.

Gao Yuyi paid them no mind and focused on preparing for the apocalypse.

Later, the apocalypse really did come...

World One: Disaster Apocalypse - Gao Yuyi

World Two: Zombie Apocalypse - Wang Erwan

World Three: Insect Apocalypse - Zhao Caisang

World Four: Ancient-Era Flight from Famine - Si Yanshi

World Five: Ghost Apocalypse - Wu Hewu

World Six: Superpower Apocalypse - Lu Liu

World Seven: Game Apocalypse - Sun Qiqi

P.S.:

1. Ordinary people struggling to survive the apocalypse.

2. There is a storage space, but it's really small.

3. A slow-paced apocalypse quick-transmigration story.

Theme: Even if you forget the whole world, your heart will still flutter for me.
