Thanks for Asking, I'm Divorced with a Kid on a Dating Show

Blurb recorded on July 29.

[Blurb]

This is Qu Ying's fifth year since transmigrating into a book.

She somehow turned a tearjerker about running away with a baby after a one-night stand and a game of chase into a spicy farming story.

That year, her four-year-old daughter wrote in an essay: I want a dad.

Qu Ying, who could do anything in her daughter's eyes: "What's the big deal? You want a dad? I'll find you one, right away."

Apple TV recently launched a dating show, inviting a top-tier star and a retired, legendary movie emperor to serve as dating coaches.

The contestants were no ordinary people, either.

There was a famous race car driver, the heir to a film and television conglomerate, a mixed-race dentist with several private clinics, and an award-winning director who'd stepped back from the industry at a young age.

There was also a rich heiress, a famous online influencer, a genius painter, and... Qu Ying? Who was this Qu Ying?

Netizens who saw the lineup were baffled.

When the first episode aired, everyone shared their declarations of love.

The female contestants said, "I hope to find the right person." "I'm here to make friends." "I've never been in love. I hope for a passionate, all-consuming romance."

When it was Qu Ying's turn, she said, "Thanks. I'm hiring a dad for my kid."

The audience: What the hell? A divorced woman with a kid belongs on a dating show?

Then they were asked what they wanted in a partner.

The female contestants said, "I hope he's a gentleman." "Mature, charming, and financially stable." "Someone I can talk to, who can give me plenty of romantic fantasies."

When Qu Ying's turn came again, she said, "I hope he can do the kindergarten crafts for the senior class. The kind that gets an A. Thanks."

The audience: ? There's something off about you.

Gradually, everyone realized that this obnoxious woman, Qu Ying, seemed to have a damn irresistible charm.

When it came time to text the woman who made their hearts flutter, Qu Ying received all four messages.

The audience: ? Didn't you say a divorced woman with a kid couldn't be popular?

After that, the male contestants each pulled out all the stops to win Qu Ying over.

Little Qu Yiyi was in the senior class at kindergarten. One day, her classmates shouted, "Qu Yiyi! There's an uncle outside who bought you lots of cakes! He shared them with us, too. Is he your dad?"

Little Yiyi didn't know, but she wanted a dad so badly that she smiled and nodded.

The next day.

Her classmates said, "Qu Yiyi! There's a big brother outside who bought you a huge Ultraman! Is he your dad?"

Little Yiyi nodded again and again.

"But he doesn't look like yesterday's one!" her classmate said, puzzled.

On the third day, then the fourth,

men who all looked different showed up, bringing her loads and loads of gifts. They even wanted to carry her on their backs and give her a piggyback ride.

The news spread through the kindergarten:

"Qu Yiyi is so awesome! She has four dads! I'm so jealous!"

The movie emperor, who had retired from the industry and become a legend, joined the show to observe humanity.

As he watched, he thought one of the female contestants was smoking hot. Interesting.

As he kept watching, he realized her kid looked a lot like him.

Later, he wanted to tell Qu Yiyi that he was her dad.

But Qu Yiyi had not only picked out four dads for herself, she'd even made them a schedule.

"On Monday, this one goes on a date with Mommy. On Tuesday, that one goes on a date with Mommy... Then on the weekend, they can all spend time with me and Mommy, and we can have a wonderful life as a family of six!" She counted on her fingers.

The movie emperor: "..."

An X-rated fiction writer whose heroine's appearance couldn't be more at odds with her true nature, paired with a dazzlingly principled hero who is not at all what he seems.

#WinningBackYourWifeIsReallyHard #DamnDatingShowGiveMeBackMyWife, said the hero.

As always, a feel-good, over-the-top romance.

Theme: No matter how bad life gets, hard work can make it beautiful.
