After His Scumbag Ex Dumps Him, the Substitute Joins a Dating Show and Becomes Everyone's Favorite

An explosively awful, melodramatic dog-blood story. Both the writing and plot are terrible. Please, babies, don't read it.

*

Lin Zhian transmigrates into an ABO romance novel as a beautiful, disposable Omega stand-in.

[System OOC warning! Host must maintain the character's original personality. The more scummy the scum gong is, the more you must love him, or you'll win a free death package.]

Lin Zhian: "???!!!"

So he is forced to play the role of the original character, following an "angsty romance" script. To get revenge, he schemes to make the scum gong fall for him, becomes the scum gong's new white moonlight, then fakes his death and flees abroad.

Ruan Cheng, a scheming, obsessive Alpha, tricks Lin Zhian into joining a dating show with him so he can win him over.

Guest A: This Omega is so cute, I want to kiss him~ Hah, hah~

Viewer A: Can that Alpha called Ruan Cheng stop getting handsy with our An'an?

Viewer B: Everyone, kick Ruan Cheng away and Xiao Zhian is ours! [A rocket launcher aimed at Ruan Cheng will arrive on the battlefield in three seconds]

Ruan Cheng: ??? Mine, he's my wife!!

·

He'd hoped to get netizens to ship him with his wife on the dating show, but every single one of them showed up to break them apart!

The covetous looks from everyone else make Ruan Cheng so jealous he's practically souring himself to death. In the middle of the night, he climbs over the balcony, carries his wife to his bed, and cuddles up to sleep.

What do I do if my wife only thinks of me as his best bro? Asking online, urgent! QAQ

*

Day one of faking his death

Lin Zhian: Having a blast surfing, sunbathing, eating watermelon, and foraging for wild vegetables with my best bro on the dating show.

Scum gong Ji the Dog: Crying hysterically.

Day three of faking his death

Lin Zhian: Having a blast scuba diving, enjoying a seafood feast, watching horror movies, and foraging for wild vegetables with my best bro on the dating show.

Ji the Dog: Crying until he faints.

Day N of faking his death

Lin Zhian: Eating my best bro's little oranges, having a blast together.

Ji the Dog: Crying blood.

*

Lin Zhian thinks of Ruan Cheng as the best bro in the world. It's just that this best bro is a bit clingy. He always wants to sling an arm around him, hug him, and cuddle up close. Lately, he's even started biting him.

Until Ruan Cheng devours him in one big bite.

With his hair sticking up after being thoroughly mussed, he bewilderedly feels the bite mark on the back of his neck. "Where's my best bro? Weren't we good socialist bros? Sob, I've turned gay..."

·

Ruan Cheng coaxes him: "Come on, be good. How can a bro compare to your hubby? Here, let your hubby kiss you again~"

Lin Zhian looks bewildered: [Being kissed on the cheek.jpg]

One day, Ji Shijin sees Lin Zhian, "risen from the dead," nestled in the arms of an Alpha named Ruan Cheng. His heart clenches as frenzied jealousy engulfs him, and he demands in a fit of madness to know why Lin Zhian doesn't love him.

"I love you," Lin Zhian says, one hand covering his sore waist after Ruan Cheng's attentions. Under the scumbag's hopeful gaze, he cruelly curls his lips. "I was only pretending."

·

Lin Zhian and his hubby Ruan Cheng join forces to take revenge on the scum gong Ji Shijin.

The scum gong's reputation is ruined and his company goes bankrupt. He gets stabbed in the kidney, his glands are damaged, blah blah blah. Then his lovesick brain takes over, and he drags his sick body around foraging for wild vegetables for Lin Zhian. After being tamed and tormented by Lin Zhian again and again, he breaks down and goes mad, becoming a rabid dog everyone avoids.

The super foodie who loves wild vegetables, a handsome beauty who thinks he's straight and can kick two people away with one foot (Lin Zhian) × An obsessive gong who acts like he's the recipient's best bro, but is actually thinking Hah, hah, blah blah blah about his wife (Ruan Cheng)

Scum gong Ji Shijin: A mentally ill, unstable, manic-depressive scumbag in the early part, then a devoted, meek, miserable simp who forages for wild vegetables in the later part

Reader's guide:

* The writing is terrible, and the plot is over-the-top and melodramatic.

* Ruan Cheng is the main love interest. He and the recipient are each other's first. Happy ending.

* Angst in the beginning. The recipient and main love interest join a dating show in the middle (about 27% of the book), then get revenge on the scum gong in the later part. The scum gong will suffer terribly.

* The main love interest appears less in the early part. The recipient has intimate contact with the scum gong, who has mental illness and violent tendencies, among other things.

* Includes original settings, forum-style chapters, and side couples. Some parts of the story may not make logical sense.

* The plot is melodramatic. Be gentle, everyone~
