Bai Jianwei is ruined by the company, becoming a washed-up celebrity with a mountain of scandals. He's bundled into a variety show nobody expects to do well, Take Your Parents on a Variety Show, and becomes a laughingstock.
Netizen A: What's there to watch about taking your parents on a variety show? Ordinary life turning into a chaotic mess?
Netizen B: I'm dying. What kind of scandal are they trying to create this time?
Netizen C: Who got Bai Jianwei this gig? What a waste of a handsome face.
In short, it's bound to flop.
Bai Jianwei agrees completely and lets loose on the show.
On the first day of filming, the door opens. The moment his parents' faces are revealed, his identity is exposed, the insults stop, and the whole internet is stunned.
Netizens: Isn't that the richest man in the country? Isn't that the couple I pray to every day? Hello, Mom and Dad, even though we've never met!!
During the livestream, the richest couple go all out to support Bai Jianwei. They dress to impress, casually wear watches worth tens of millions, and give gifts worth tens of thousands. They put everything they've got into the games, determined to help their son take first place.
Netizens: Waaah, his parents are so wonderful! Heaven, please give me parents like that!
With his parents' help, Bai Jianwei's reputation turns around, and he gains a considerable amount of attention.
Just as the whole internet is envious of Bai Jianwei, a crime investigation drama appears out of nowhere. The alluring villain played by the third male lead steals the show and shoots straight to the top of the trending topics.
Then someone realizes: Wait, is that Bai Jianwei??!
Netizens: Well, well! What else have you been hiding from us? Show it to us at once!
·
Later, a marketing account posts an exposé in the middle of the night: Top star Bai Jianwei went out for a secret late-night rendezvous with a man. They embraced and kissed, and the man carried him back to his room. It's obvious what happened after that.
The comments are vile, filled with every kind of filthy insult.
A few minutes later, the comments are wiped clean and the trending topic vanishes into thin air. The marketing account that broke the story deletes itself and runs, but is still taken to court in the end.
Netizens are confused, until rising business star Xiao Jiqing posts on Weibo:
Thanks for asking. He's my boyfriend, and the person I plan to spend the rest of my life with.
Bai Jianwei replies: Mm, boyfriend.
The two of them shower everyone with affection in the middle of the night. Their fans squeal with delight, then can't help shouting:
Do netizens' lives not matter? NPCs have feelings too, okay!!
Coming-soon blurb below!
When a Romance System Meets a Patriotic Mind
The bottom is a model young man from Hua Country, with faith in his heart and light in his eyes.
And yet he gets bound to a romance System.
The romance System assigns him a task: "He's 188 centimeters tall, broad-shouldered, long-legged, and handsome. He's got a house and a car, and he's a catch. Get close to him! Win him over! Make him fall for you! Make him go crazy for you!"
The bottom frowns. "Sorry, my beloved is my country."
System: ?
Bottom: ?
The person and the System stare at each other, equally shocked.
How did he (it) turn out to be this kind of person (System)!!!
*
After a fierce war of words, the System gives in.
"From what I've learned, this man is a secret weapon the country has yet to activate. He has a nation-strengthening System, with everything needed across every field. Unfortunately, his own drive is too low to activate it."
The bottom clenches his fist. "So?"
Should I steal him away?
The System declares enthusiastically: "Win him over!!! Make him work hard for you!!"
The two of them: ?
The person and the System stare at each other again, at a loss for words.
*
In the end, under the System's threats and temptations, the bottom starts trying to win him over.
He delivers three meals a day and never stops checking in and asking after him.
Outsiders all say the aloof physics department genius has finally opened his heart. He's secretly in love with some super-handsome guy and is utterly pathetic when it comes to romance.
The top, who knows full well the bottom only makes an effort for three days before slacking off for two, can't help asking, "Do you like me?"
The bottom lowers his eyes. "Ah... But I like people with ambition."
The lazy, listless top: "..."
The bottom adds, emphasizing his point: "Especially people who can contribute to their country."
The top stiffens. "...Mm."
The next instant:
Ding-dong~ Your nation-strengthening System has been activated. Please begin your first mission!
*
Suddenly, foreign countries discover that Hua Country has undergone a dramatic transformation in a very short time.
Three days: High-yield crops successfully developed!
Foreign countries: Hah, they must have been researching this for years.
One month: A satellite system is complete!
Foreign countries: ...It must be fake.
Three months: The entire national defense system has been upgraded!
Foreign countries: ??? Are you serious???
Foreign countries immediately grow wary. Investigators arrive from every direction like snowflakes, trying to discover what secret weapon Hua Country has acquired!!
The romance System, quietly taking the blame for everything, smiles wryly. "What secret weapon? He's just a hopeless romantic."
One thing is certain: a patriotic-minded bottom vs. a romance-minded top.
One more thing is certain: a bottom with a romance System vs. a top with a nation-strengthening System.

Theme: Family love is the most sincere kind of love.
Poisonous? Another dandy story about parents' love?
If you come to Danpin to write about your parents' love, why not go directly to romance?
Weiwei is the same generation as Gouzi. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
My college student broke his defense
Hahahahahahaha summer camp for primary and secondary school students
Is being an agent considered moral kidnapping? ('? ') (Clear eyes)
The novice protection period is awesome
The setting of this genius kid who shows off and beats up people looks so familiar hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Slightly reach his mouth, does it mean he is only 1.6 Meters?
"Who would have expected it to be self-defeating" would be a huge thorn in the side of the author~
"Self-defeating" is a derogatory term and is inappropriate to use here...
