The Socially Anxious Seme and the Dragon-Prince Kid Go Viral on a Variety Show

[Up Next: Please Save "After Going Crazy and Confessing to My Aloof Boss"] Gu Yuanzhao is a cultivation-world version of the overpowered protagonist: Foundation Establishment at one, Golden Core at three, Nascent Soul at seven, and on the verge of godhood! After transmigrating, he finds himself standing on a modern street, transformed into a short-legged, adorable little kid. He sneers. "Whatever. Starting over is merely another trial for me!" He plans to overturn this unfamiliar world and restore the glory of his overpowered-protagonist name. Instead, because he has no household registration, a kind passerby takes him to an orphanage. After that, he ends up on a reality show with children, trying to earn his first pot of gold as a kid. Gu Yuanzhao grits his teeth and endures: Damn it, never bully a poor young man! * Shen Yuhe is a nobody on the fringes of the entertainment industry. With his social anxiety and lazy, go-with-the-flow attitude, he has never made much of a splash. But after he's forced to join a reality show with children, the kid the production team finds for him looks so much like him and a movie star that he ends up trending for supposedly being secretly married to the star. Now he's forced into a couple-promotion campaign with him. As someone with social anxiety, being paired with a movie star on the trending page is already bad enough. He just wants to get along with the kid on the show and coast through it. But the moment they meet, he discovers the kid is a social butterfly. Shen Yuhe: ...This is a disaster :) Worse, the kid is outgoing, embarrassingly dramatic, and fiercely competitive. Shen Yuhe starts to say something, trying to persuade the kid to lie flat, but the kid clenches both fists. His face, which looks seventy percent like Shen Yuhe's, is solemn and world-weary. "A fine man should stand tall and strive to get ahead! Lie flat? Never!" Shen Yuhe: ... * During a dragon boat race on the show, the other guests make snide remarks, both openly and behind his back. Just as their little boat is about to capsize, the kid grips the paddle and smiles disdainfully. "What a joke! I have the blood of a true dragon. Turning clouds and rain is child's play. Why should I fear rowing a little boat?" Then he chants, "The Dragon's Pride reigns supreme, shattering the heavens!" and wins first place. Shen Yuhe: ... During a mountain-climbing activity, the kids reach the summit and marvel at the magnificent view, each reciting a poem. When it's the kid's turn, he falls silent, looks up, and speaks with solemn grandeur: "One day, when the dragon finds water, I will make the Yangtze flow backward! One day, when the tiger returns to the mountain, I will paint half the sky red with blood!" Everyone else: Stunned into silence. Shen Yuhe: Curling his toes in embarrassment. Somebody save him from this secondhand embarrassment. The whole show goes like this: The kid (flower between his teeth, wicked grin) (confidently strides onstage) (solo performance) (basks in applause) Him (body stiff) (eyes wandering) (avoids the camera) (awkward smile) The internet is howling: [Help, isn't this the perfect picture of introverts and extroverts?] [Hahahaha, Zhao-ge, give your dad a break! He's already built you more than a dozen castles!] [Oh my god, how many overpowered-protagonist novels has Zhao-ge eaten? Why does he talk so domineeringly? Hahaha!] [I'm dying, Shen Yuhe's social anxiety is so cute. I want to pull him over and kiss him, ehehehehe!] [Is Teacher Gu an extrovert too? Please, I need to see introvert Shen Yuhe caught between two extroverts, looking terrified!!!] At last, the movie star surnamed Gu finds time to join the show. When the three of them meet, the kid folds his arms and sizes him up before saying, "You're all right, I guess. You barely qualify as good enough for Shen Yuhe. Go on, he really likes you!" Gu Sui: ? Interesting. Shen Yuhe: ...His face turns bright red. [Socially anxious, beautiful introvert bottom & gentle, scheming extrovert top] P.S.: 1. A silly comedy with no regard for logic. Fictional setting where same-sex marriage is legal. 2. The protagonist isn't perfect. He's socially anxious, timid, and a little avoidant. He's rather meek, but the outgoing kid and the top will help him heal. In a way, this is also a healing story. 3. The top is a love-struck fool. He is so in love! (Shouting) 4. The kid is the biological child of the top and bottom from their previous lives in the cultivation world. He just transmigrated here, so they won't have a child in this life. (Also, the overpowered-protagonist kid really does have true dragon blood, from his previous life in the cultivation world. One of his dads, the top, does too. But he lost it when he transmigrated here. There are absolutely no fantasy elements in the real world. [Emphasis]) 5. On the show, the kid will meet a good friend who will also become his childhood sweetheart. They're just friends in the main story. Their romantic storyline only appears in the extras when they've grown up. End of the upcoming-book announcement "After Going Crazy and Confessing to My Aloof Boss" blurb: Chen Yuqing is an overworked secretary with an exceptionally annoying boss: sharp-tongued, picky, cold, and asking to be punched. Even with that handsome face, whenever the boss orders him around, Chen Yuqing still wants to punch him square in the face. After being mocked yet again, Chen Yuqing comes across a post: [I went crazy and confessed to my boss, and my picky boss gave me a raise] It tells the story of an overworked employee who dutifully does everything and still gets mocked by his boss. He goes crazy and confesses to him, and after the boss is startled, he becomes timidly gentle and even gives the employee a raise. Chen Yuqing thinks he doesn't care whether he gets a raise. He just wants to disgust Sheng Qin. Of course, a raise would be even better! So after one business dinner, Chen Yuqing, drunk from taking the other guests' drinks for them, goes wild and clings to his frozen-in-place boss, wailing with fake sincerity: "Mr. Sheng, I really do like you, sob sob..." "Sob sob... If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have put up with you scolding me for four years without quitting." "Sob sob sob sob sob!" He cries like a boiling kettle, rubbing his tears and snot bubbles all over the suit of his germaphobic boss. Chen Yuqing thinks, I'll disgust you to death! * The next day, Chen Yuqing goes to work as usual, pretending he got drunk and [garbled text]?
