New story: The Humble Matchmaker at Your Service. A God of Wealth gong x a Matchmaker shou. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites! ★★★★★Story Blurb★★★★★ The dating show's all-star production team presents: The Fake Couple. Eight handsome and beautiful entertainers, paired up in couples to play pretend for three months! When the show announced its lineup, the whole internet was shocked and the comments section flooded with question marks. Besides movie star Tan Guangyi, the list also included Mu Sai, a member of the boy band DUSK, hailed as the “Rose of the Empire”! A mixed-race idol, platinum-blond hair, a sexy baritone, a rose too aloof to touch! His fans became chicks escaping their coop, clucking as they took over the comments: This grateful believer thanks every sugar daddy who got our darling Sai onto a variety show! But when people learned that the movie star Tan Guangyi and Mu Sai had been paired as a fake couple, plenty of them immediately predicted failure. Netizens: They're not even from the same world. How could they have any chemistry? Antis: Hilarious. A movie star and a top-tier star, both lowering themselves to make easy money! Fans: Ah... never mind. At least we get to see more of him. Let's just treat it like an ordinary variety show! On the day the show premiered, the popular idol sat in a cat cafe, biting the straw of his iced Americano. He glanced at Tan Guangyi out of the corner of his eye, acting cool and distant. “Teacher Tan, we're only pretending to be a couple for the show. Don't take it too seriously.” The newly crowned movie star smiled politely. “Of course. We'll just follow the rules.” But just as Tan Guangyi thought their act couldn't possibly look any faker, the show became a massive hit. The comments went wild with fans shipping them to death. Netizens: Sorry, everyone. I'm shipping this couple first! Antis: I seriously suspect you two were already together. Dating on the company's dime, how shameless! Fans: Wifey, cuddle me! Wifey, cuddle me! Huh? Which one's my wife? Obviously, both of them! Shippers: How is this the Rose of the Empire? He's a peacock showing off his plumage! Wait, wait, wait! Have you all got something wrong? We're really just acting! Shocked by the entire internet of professional shippers, Tan Guangyi was about to complain to his buddy when he happened to catch sight of the searches on the top-tier star's screen: “What drinks make a cool, mature man more charming?” “Ninety-Nine Rules for Falling in Love” “What kind of person is Tan Guangyi's ideal type?” Tan Guangyi: Huh??? Reading Guide: 1. Younger gong, 1v1, both virgins, no angst. The shou is 26 and the gong is 22 when the show begins. 2. Dating-show format: some livestreaming, plus edited weekly episodes. The variety show format is partly inspired by the Korean show We Got Married. 3. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. 4. The gong and shou will have some fans who feminize them. Their calling them “wifey” or “baby girl” is just a personal fan preference and has nothing to do with the author. ★★★★★New Story Blurb★★★★★ ---The bestselling God of Wealth gives the laid-back Matchmaker a hands-on lesson--- As a Matchmaker, Le Ling never imagined that one day he'd become the worst-performing immortal. Heavenly Dao kicked the little Matchmaker, dressed in a red robe and wearing a peach branch, out of the temple and angrily laid down his final target. Double your performance within a year! What made Le Ling angriest was that Heavenly Dao cheerfully appointed Ji Xun, the God of Wealth who had taken his bestselling title, as his performance coach. Everyone across the three realms knew that Ji Xun, the God of Wealth, was peerlessly handsome but aloof and taciturn. Every year, he would walk past the other immortals without a change in expression, holding the prize for bestselling champion. Le Ling ground his teeth. Having him as a coach was a downright humiliation! Back in the human world, he watched people show no interest in the Temple of Marriage, while they knelt for ages in the Temple of Wealth. Heartbroken, Le Ling opened the Book of Marriage and expanded his business to all six realms! If mortals aren't interested in romance, surely I can tie red strings between spirits and immortals instead, right? He opened the red envelopes and letters he'd collected from across the six realms, and used red strings to bring together several destined couples. The little Matchmaker's confidence soared, until he opened the last letter and his smile froze. According to eyewitnesses, one dark and stormy night, the little Matchmaker, who loved wearing a peach blossom branch, was tied up with his own red string and delivered straight to the God of Wealth's palace! Red String: My Lord, open the door! Ji Xun looked at Le Ling, who was bewildered and wrapped up like a dumpling, while the other end of the red string went straight into his own heart. A hint of amusement appeared in the usually indifferent God of Wealth's eyes. He nodded politely. “Thank you.” Theme: Help each other and improve together
