The main story is complete. My completed novel next door: After Setting Up a School for Classical Studies on a Parenting Show, I Went Viral Coming soon: My Omega Went Wild on a Parenting Show and Took the Whole Galaxy by Storm. Blurb at the very end. --Blurb-- A gentle, naturally spaced-out, sickly beauty on the receiving end x a tsundere, sharp-tongued wolfdog on the giving end As Yu Yexi approached thirty, his acting career had enjoyed a little success, and he was living quite comfortably. Except for his parents constantly pressuring him to get married. After being tormented day and night, Yu Yexi resolved to take matters into his own hands and nip the problem in the bud. So he agreed to join a Dating Show. He heard that Lu Yu, the industry-famous devil, was going to be on it too. Yu Yexi came up with a plan. Once the show went live, Yu Yexi followed his plan and acted as if he were deeply in love with Lu Yu. He'd heard Lu Yu had a terrible temper, so Yu Yexi was prepared to make a fool of himself and get his heart "broken" in the process. But then... "Mr. Lu, can I share a room with you?" Lu Yu frowned and strode off. "Tsk." Then he looked back, impatient. "Come on. What are you waiting for, do you want me to carry you?" Yu Yexi, who'd been waiting to get yelled at: ? He'd been scolded, but somehow it didn't feel like it? When the first plan failed, he tried even harder. He'd heard Lu Yu absolutely hated physical contact? In the haunted house, Yu Yexi took Lu Yu's hand. After they cleared a game, Yu Yexi threw his arms around him. While cooking, Yu Yexi tied an apron around Lu Yu, his hands brushing Lu Yu's nape in passing... As Lu Yu's expression grew colder whenever he faced Yu Yexi, Yu Yexi thought he must have made Lu Yu hate him. The viewers had their own take. [This is too painful to watch! How badly is the beautiful Yu going to get hurt by Devil Lu? Waaaah, this is going to be a tragic romance!] But then... On the final day of the Dating Show, Lu Yu planted himself in front of Yu Yexi, looking ready for a fight, and demanded through gritted teeth: "Why didn't you choose me?!" Yu Yexi: ? Viewers: [???] * After the show ended, Yu Yexi became even more famous. He especially gained a lot of fans who were obsessed with his looks. [That face is Nuwa's graduation project! He's so beautiful, waaaah!] [Our little Yu is such a good actor! And so talented, too! He's a treasure of the entertainment industry! Kiss kiss kiss!] [Wifey! Wifey! Wifey!] Then Lu Yu posted ten Weibo updates in one day. Every one was a photo of Yu Yexi, from his college days to one taken just last night. The caption read: Year seven. Mine. With all that sweetness on display, the CP fans went wild all night. [So the Pisces CP has known each other for seven years! I'm obsessed!] [They went to college together! So sweet, so sweet!] And the very sweet couple... Lu Yu glared. "You really don't remember anything?!" Yu Yexi: ... It's exhausting having to comfort him. Maybe we should just break up. Reader's guide: The sickly element is just the author's personal preference. It isn't mentioned in the blurb, but it appears in the main story. (I added it while writing, so I changed the title, but I can't change the blurb. This is the best I can do for now.) ★Check out my friend's fun upcoming novel, ID6998306: How to Sweeten a Contract Marriage [Dating Show] by Ling Xun A people-pleasing, sickly beauty top-tier star on the receiving end x a cold, taciturn, secretly obsessed CEO on the giving end *Upcoming Novel Blurb* A parenting show jointly produced by the five major star systems is about to begin. On the surface: a parenting show. In reality: the star systems scheme against each other and tear into one another, resorting to physical force when necessary, in some good old-fashioned political warfare. Viewers: This is great! Love it! Let's place our bets! So each star system will send its strongest fighters, determined to crush the competition! When the participants were announced, the public was in an uproar. Among a group of fearsome Alphas, there was one delicate Omega! And the little one with him was an Omega, too! Wouldn't they get eaten alive?! Then people checked their profiles. Zhu Shuang, the duke of the S Empire, was famous for being a weakling. His golden eyes were captivating, his beauty bewitching, and the green bamboo viper coiled around his wrist flicked its tongue, leaving people dazed. The child he brought along was as exquisite as a doll, with adorable golden fawn eyes that gazed at the camera, dewy and sweet. After the pair made their first appearance, uncle and nephew instantly won the hearts of billions across the universe! Viewers: An Omega like that should just get married, right? How about marrying me! Zhu Shuang, the "delicate Omega": ? (smiles) * Later, after the show began, viewers realized things were... not quite what they'd imagined. Space pirates attack: Other guests: We don't have weapons. We should think this through and protect the children. Zhu Shuang: He grabs a cannon dropped by the enemy and blasts them into the sky, making a grand debut! --His ammunition is his eldest nephew, Zhu Songsong. The tiny Omega stands firm, sporting an explosion of hair, and reports in a little kid's voice: "Mission accomplished, sir!" Viewers: ...Nice. After that, the uncle and nephew cut a path through the group of Alphas, coming first in every mission and completely shattering the viewers' expectations! --This is an Omega?! * Watching the uncle and nephew toy with the other guests, viewers fell even quieter. The Alphas who were supposed to be competitive were so smitten with Zhu Shuang they couldn't think straight. They treasured the handmade little flowers he gave them, keeping them close to their hearts. The tough Alphas were all falling in love, and the scene was unbearable to watch. Viewers: Wake up! Everyone got one of those! And they were sold in packs of ten for 9.9! Zhu Songsong shot to fame with a single "blast" and became the kids' leader. Every day, the little Alpha kids followed Songsong, who kept a stern face on his chubby cheeks, through devilish training. They even said they wanted to marry him when they grew up! Viewers: ...The S Empire's scheme is so evil! I'll wait for you to grow up! Fortunately, the marshal of the Beta System and his grandnephew stood firm and didn't give in to the tyrannical uncle and nephew. The glory of Alphas, indeed! The people of the Beta System stood tall with pride! But then... Three days after the parenting show ended, Zhu Shuang went home with Zhu Songsong, waving goodbye. There, beside his eldest brother, he spotted a familiar white wolf spirit. The marshal looked composed and gave him a slight nod. "Hello. I've come to marry into your family." The entire universe: ...Huh? Theme: Hard work makes you a better person
