---Blurb for this story

1. Feng Xin transmigrates into a book and becomes a discarded husband from a wealthy family.

He is a cannon-fodder stepping stone for the book's main couple to reunite, a pawn the Feng family uses to curry favor with the rich, a substitute forced into marriage with the male lead, and the object of scorn and gossip among people in the industry.

With a divorce certificate and a huge compensation payment from his ex-husband in hand, he is kicked out of the villa, weeping like a pear blossom in the rain.

People in the industry click their tongues and laugh at him: he has nothing but money. What a miserable life.

In reality, Feng Xin is crying tears of joy: Isn't this exactly what the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel gets to be?! Woohoo, time to take off!

Just as he's about to start his wonderful new life, a luxury car that Feng Xin has only ever seen on TV pulls up in front of him. A gloomy-looking man steps out and pulls him tightly into his arms. "He insulted you with money. I can make his whole family go under in an instant."

Feng Xin: ???

2. Chu Xunting is the biggest villain in the entire story. He has peerless looks, a good family, and exceptional ability, yet everyone calls him a heartless revenge machine who does every kind of evil.

His temper is violent, his methods extreme, and people steer clear of him.

Then his temperament changes all of a sudden. He even starts smiling, apparently after the male lead gets divorced. Rumors start circulating in the industry: Chu Xunting's way of loving someone is to bankrupt him. Run for it!

At a gathering not long afterward, everyone discovers that the beauty acting coy beside the eternally icy Chu Xunting is none other than Feng Xin, that lovesick, useless substitute?!

Gone is his simple, silly air. Every frown and smile makes him look like a handsome young nobleman, full of life and captivating everyone with just his presence.

Some people at the gathering still cling to a sliver of hope. Quite a few don't take the fallen young master Feng Xin seriously at all and try to get close to Chu Xunting. All they receive is a cold, sinister look.

Meanwhile, Feng Xin is brazenly eating every kind of cold dessert nearby. When his stomach hurts and he pouts, Chu Xunting's expression changes at once. He gently coaxes him and rubs his stomach with practiced ease.

Feng Xin exposes his stomach and snorts reproachfully. "It's all because you didn't know when to stop last night! I'm sleeping in a separate room from you this week!"

The atmosphere freezes over. The whole room falls silent: The nerve!

Chu Xunting curls his lips and kisses his cheek, sounding smug and satisfied. "My fault. Next time, tell me to stop. We won't sleep in separate rooms, okay?"

A dark-hearted top who thinks money can attract a wife, but is still a lovesick fool × a beautiful, seductive bottom who only wants to work for money, unless you try to win me over with your looks

Chu Xunting × Feng Xin

[1. The bottom and his ex-husband were married in name only; they never consummated the marriage.

2. The bottom loves money and life. He's neither stupid nor lovesick.

3. The top had no feelings for the original character; this will be explained later.

4. My writing and logic aren't great, so please go easy on me.

5. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.

6. To be added.]

Blurb for After Going on a Dating Show with My Wealthy Ex-Husband:

Yu Ang, a top-tier star with no dating scandals since his debut, is exposed as having been secretly married and divorced, causing a huge uproar.

His ten million devoted mom-fans are relieved and spend the night digging up information about his ex. But they uncover that five years ago, before Yu Ang became famous, he appeared at wealthy-family banquets several times. The usually aloof and proud Yu Ang was blushing, nestled in a man's arms.

That night, the trending searches update:

#EvenTopTierStarsHaveBeenRichMen'sDoormats#

#FiveYearsAfterHisDivorceYuAngStillKeepsHimselfPureForHisRichPlayboyEx#

#YuAngSugarDaddy#

-

A dating show featuring celebrities and ordinary people appears out of nowhere, and Yu Ang joins the cast.

Marketing accounts seize the opportunity to spread rumors, while haters mock him for looking for a new sugar daddy and wait for him to become a doormat again.

But during the confession segment,

Xu Xilin, voted the most desirable man among gay men and the most popular contestant,

rejects everyone else's advances and corners Yu Ang in a small room. His eyes are red, and his voice is full of grievance. "We've been divorced for five years. When are you going to turn around and look at me?"

The comments flood with question marks, and the server nearly crashes.

Later...

The ex-husband ship takes over every platform, and the production crew suddenly releases behind-the-scenes dating-show footage.

At the celebratory banquet after filming the final episode, Yu Ang has flushed cheeks and bleary, drunken eyes. What draws the most attention, though, are his swollen, moist lips.

He sways in front of the camera, smiling with curved eyes. "My ideal type? Rich, considerate, and not clingy. Good in bed, handsome, and with abs. Also, he shouldn't be too restrained about certain things. Is that enough?"

That night,

#YuAng'sLipsAreSwollen#

#YuAngDoesn'tLikeMenWhoHoldBack#

become the latest trending searches, and fanfiction floods the ship's fan page.

Meanwhile, Yu Ang can't get out of bed because his back hurts.

His voice from the interview plays by his ear as Xu Xilin sits beside the bed and replays it over and over.

Yu Ang curses. "Don't tell me you think I was talking about you?"

Xu Xilin pins him beneath him again, gritting his teeth. "I wish your waist were as soft as your mouth."

"Yu Ang, I've waited long enough."

The next moment, Yu Ang's whole body goes limp. His ears turn red as he buries his face in the pillow and murmurs, "Mm... me too."

"I missed you so much I nearly went crazy."

A sharp-tongued, but honest, catlike beauty and top-tier star on the receiving end × a seemingly gentle, sly, straightforward, devoted puppy of a top
