Xie Siyu has had a vague crush on his childhood friend since they were young.
So the first thing he does after returning to the country is propose. A friend happens to have invested in a Dating Show, so Xie Siyu eagerly invites his older sister to join him.
But... on the day filming begins,
why does his beautiful, charming childhood friend make a dazzling entrance in men's clothes?!!! And why does the crew call him an award-winning actor? What a scam!
Xie Siyu: ???
Xie Siyu's heart shatters on the spot. He slams the table and demands to withdraw from the show.
Award-winning actor Su Lan has been troubled lately. Because of an accident when they were young, his childhood friend has always thought he was a girl.
Su Lan has thought about explaining, but the other man always looks at him with shining, hopeful eyes and brings him all kinds of beautiful dresses, blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick shades. He's even more enthusiastic about dressing Su Lan up as a girl than Su Lan is.
This time, the other man is even planning to announce to the whole world on a Dating Show that he wants to marry him.
Su Lan: ...Fine. I might as well use this chance to make him see reason.
But on the day filming begins, just as Su Lan, dressed to the nines, meets his childhood friend's eyes,
he sees his beloved childhood friend take three huge steps backward, his expression visibly shattering.
Su Lan: Oh no... The little dummy's mad.
-
The consequences of Xie Siyu getting angry are serious. He refuses food offered by the award-winning actor, makes snide remarks in public, and secretly dumps an entire jar of mustard into the fruit salad the other man loves.
On the day the first episode airs, he gets cursed out by the actor's solo fans, who hurl a whole basket of personal insults at him.
But as things unfold, the story takes a strange turn.
Solo fan A: Ah, bro, you saw him put it in. Why did you still eat it? And why did you close your eyes and say it tasted good?
Mom fan C: I just realized that the little-known guy who returned from abroad and the actor's family are old family friends. Didn't they even have an arranged marriage? And the little-known guy confessed to the actor on Weibo the day before? Me: Huh???
The CP fans: If you have to ask, this is just the kind of thing childhood friends do! Let's spare a second for our sweetheart, who got tricked by a cross-dressing hottie. Has anyone not seen the behind-the-scenes footage from the new tenth episode?
Everyone! Hurry up and ship them!
Then a blurry video unexpectedly leaks.
The award-winning actor, dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit, lifts the other's chin with his hand. His voice is low and magnetic. “Baby, don't you like me wearing this? Why won't you look at me?”
The usually cold, cool guy is so embarrassed his face and neck turn red. Cornered, he turns away angrily and snaps, “Get your dirty hands... hands off me. I don't... don't like it!”
Yet he honestly lets the other man hold his hand and place a pile of cat-ear and bunny-ear headbands on his head.
That very night, the two of them storm into the top three of the ship rankings, where they remain for months.
The top CP fans, boosted by the real people involved: Who gets it? We were only here to watch the chaos at first, but somehow we ended up with a ship made in heaven.
Cross-dressing, seductive beauty seme x puppy-like, once-cool, sentimental straight-man uke
#Click to watch him run while the other chases him, until he has nowhere to run (not really)
P.S.
1. Award-winning actor x minor celebrity, younger seme. The seme is actually younger than the uke. At first the uke calls him “older sister,” and after the reveal the seme calls him “older brother.” Things get pretty wild.
2. The seme is a cross-dresser, and there's a reason he started dressing as a woman. The uke is more upset about being deceived. Gender is just an excuse.
3. Before the reveal, the uke is a lovesick fool, extremely irrational and puppy-like, for reasons of his own. After the reveal, he's back to normal, and the seme pursues him relentlessly in a painful romance.
4. The Dating Show starts in chapter 34, and the reveal happens in chapter 37. Happy Ending.
5. To be added.
Please add my upcoming novel to your collection~
[Dating Show] Forced to Share Thoughts with My Nemesis
Jiang Qiu is an idol. One day, he is suddenly forced to share thoughts with Mo Shengyun, an award-winning actor he can't stand.
From then on, when he's on a variety show, he hears Mo Shengyun reciting lines in his mind. When he eats, he hears Mo negotiating, and even as he falls asleep, he hears him silently studying.
Jiang Qiu: ...So annoying! Are you Tang Seng or something?
Mo Shengyun is also fed up with hearing Jiang Qiu's constant thoughts about food. The two meet in private to figure out a way to solve this problem, but are unexpectedly photographed.
The photo is posted that very night, with the headline “Jiang Qiu and Mo Shengyun Take Part in a Group Orgy” about to go viral.
Jiang Qiu: ...Let's announce we're dating and deny it.
Mo Shengyun: ...Okay.
The two announce their relationship, setting off a media frenzy. No one believes it's real.
The time they can share thoughts gets shorter by the day. To get through this period while continuing to work, they turn down their current engagements and join a popular Dating Show together.
Fans: This can't be real. I don't believe it!
Then the two use their mind-reading connection to cheat: one gives the other the answer in his thoughts, and the other responds out loud.
In the couples' challenges, they get full marks for how well they know each other and for their chemistry. They can even answer questions about when the other debuted and details of his first movie.
They know how many words the other has spoken in a day, what's on his mind, whether he gets into the car with his left or right foot first, and the color of his underwear. Even when they blindly choose a hotel room to sleep in, they pick the exact same one.
Fan A: If this isn't love, what is?!
Fan B: They have to be real. If not, I'll stand on my head and wash my hair!
As they spend time together, Jiang Qiu gradually realizes that Mo Shengyun isn't as cold and heartless as he imagined, and he starts to fall for him. But the Dating Show and their mind-reading connection both come to an abrupt end.
He leaves with his unrequited love and takes part in a movie project run by his uncle. The next day, Mo Shengyun shows up at the audition too.
As the producer.
That night, Mo Shengyun corners him in the dressing room.
Jiang Qiu pretends to be casual. “Forget it. It's all over.”
The door clicks shut. Mo Shengyun fixes him with a dark, dangerous gaze. “I can't.”
Jiang Qiu: ??
So you took it seriously too?
Theme: Fall in love, but don't become a lovesick fool
