You'd Dare Go on a Dating Show with a Fake Marriage?

[A sweet palate cleanser. Free, short, around 100,000 characters.] In the two years since their marriage of convenience, Su Shengxin and her “husband,” Shang Yin, have met exactly three times. They took a few photos to show off their affection, and each meeting lasted less than a minute. In the third year of their marriage of convenience, they suddenly have to appear together on a couples’ reality dating show! The show is all about “sweetness” and “desire.” On the first day, the couple can’t talk and can only look at each other. On the second day, they can talk, but they can’t touch at all, not even a single part of each other. Over the following days, they’re gradually allowed to hold hands, touch each other’s lips, and so on. It’s not until the last few days of the show that they’re allowed to kiss! The couple will film a short drama featuring a kissing scene, and viewers will vote for the couple whose kiss feels the most real and the most passionate. After the show announced its cast, online viewers exclaimed: “Holy crap! Shang Yin and Su Shengxin? A domineering CEO and a top-tier star? I want to witness a wealthy family’s romance up close!” But in reality Shang Yin: “There’ll be intimate interactions on the show, like kissing. You’re okay with that, right?” Su Shengxin: “Of course. I’m a professional actor, and my acting is pretty good. Mr. Shang, please don’t take it seriously when those moments come.” Shang Yin: “Business is full of deception, and my acting is pretty good too. Teacher Su, please don’t take it seriously when those moments come.” Some time later, their kiss that they’d insisted was “nothing to take seriously” was unanimously voted by viewers as “the most real and most passionate.” The viewers saw right through them.
