Going Crazy on a Dating Show, and Becoming a Hit Against All Odds!

■Next up: "A Wealthy Family's Male Housekeeper, Here for Gossip, Not Hardship." The blurb is at the very bottom. Please add it to your reading list!

Only after Ning Jian died did he realize he was the cannon-fodder biological son in a switched-at-birth novel.

In the story, he was a nobody in the entertainment industry who fought the fake young master tooth and nail for the male lead. His scandalous rumors spread everywhere, but on his deathbed he suddenly had a change of heart and died in a car accident to make way for the couple's love.

Ning Jian: ? I ran a red light because I was rushing to an appointment!

Reborn, Ning Jian decided to let it go... my ass!

If I can't have a good life, why should they get one?!

When the fake young master and his parents teamed up to kick him out of the house-

Ning Jian: Leave? Sure, but I need to take something with me. The mansion is mine.

Parents: ???

When haters questioned his mansion-

Netizen: It's obviously a rental. Does anyone really believe he's some rich young master?

Ning Jian: You look like you got yourself a sugar daddy and made Erlang Shen your master.

For a while, Ning Jian's name dominated the trending topics.

-

The country's first reality dating show for exes was announced.

Before the show began, the director conducted the usual interviews with a few mysterious guests.

Guest No. 1: I was actually really happy to hear he'd be coming. I could see him again.

Guest No. 2: If we had a chance to start over, I'd definitely cherish it this time...

Just as the audience sighed over their touching love stories, an unconventional guest appeared on the livestream-

"Getting back together with him? Never crossed my mind. Getting revenge? I've thought about it for a long time."

"Happiness? I've never been famous in my life, but I've been cheated on. Want me to give you that blessing?"

The comments were unanimous:

[???]

[That has to be Ning Jian's asshole!!!]

[Wait, you're kidding, right? It's a dating show for exes. Is one of Ning Jian's exes on it?]

Ning Jian gave a wicked smile. "Isn't that what you're supposed to guess?"

Not just the casual viewers, even the haters fell silent.

After that, Ning Jian let loose and unexpectedly became a huge hit.

Overnight, casual fans became die-hard fans, while the haters swore to join the army of the Ning family.

Before the dating show aired, the comments said: [What? Ning Jian actually dated them?]

After the show aired, the comments said: [What?! Who the hell gets to date Ning Jian?!]

-

Then, on the following episode, a mysterious guest made a surprise appearance. Rumor had it he was a major investor behind the scenes.

The audience waited eagerly: [Finally, we can get a break from these faces!]

But-

When the sweet little white flower failed to pair up: "Then what did all our memories mean?"

Man: "That you have a good memory."

When the green tea tried to act all innocent: "It's okay, my throat's just a little sore..."

Man: "Have some boneless chicken feet and scratch it."

[Can't believe they got two unhinged guests on the show!]

[Okay, okay... what a beautiful state of mind!]

So one viewer dared to say: [If it comes down to it, why not pair these two up?]

But someone quickly flew into a rage: [How could Ning Jian be good enough for him?!]

Ning Jian laughed in disbelief. "Who? I'm not good enough for him? I'd be a perfect match for him eight hundred times over! I'll match him to death!"

-

The night before the final confession, a call came through.

The man chuckled. "Teacher Ning, you love me so much. You want us to be a perfect match to death."

The hidden camera operator, tucked in the corner, trembled in fear: ... The mic! The mic is still on!!!

That night, the top trending topics were:

#SaltyFishCPIsTheBest#

Sharp-eyed netizens stayed up all night digging up clues and turning them into a PowerPoint.

The comments went wild with shipping.

▼ "A Wealthy Family's Male Housekeeper, Here for Gossip, Not Hardship"

▼ Gossip-loving cheapskate bottom x vicious dog turned devoted husband, a top who learns to sheathe his fangs

As the most dedicated employee in the quick transmigration world, Chi Qingyi (yi) survived one challenge after another, and finally welcomed his retirement life-

He got assigned to a wealthy family, but as their male housekeeper.

This family was something else.

The eldest son was the quintessential domineering CEO. There were enough bottles of cologne lined up at home to play dominoes with.

He had a runaway little wife, and almost every day they acted out an imprisonment scene that couldn't be shown on Little Green River. His catchphrase was: "Who do you think you are? Hah, just a stand-in."

Chi Qingyi: You say that (munch munch) he lies (munch munch), does his nose get longer?

The second son was more interested in pretty boys than work. He spent his days going to KTVs and had true love all over the world.

Recently, he'd fallen for a young bartender who was working his way through school, without even realizing it.

The young man had his freshly washed white shirt splattered with red wine again and again. In tears, he asked himself, "Brother Chi, this is his favorite white shirt. Do you think I can still get it clean...?"

Chi Qingyi smiled. "You should run."

He didn't know if the shirt could get clean, but there was no way that second young master could be cleaned up at all!!!

The third son was a headstrong little wolf who loved street racing and cringe-worthy theatrics. Every day he wanted Chi Qingyi to sit down, in the passenger seat of his car.

Chi Qingyi: What are you, Ma Siwei?

The fourth young master...

Oh, right.

The fourth young master was an illegitimate child, still living somewhere out there, not yet found.

-

As Chi Qingyi cleaned up the messes these guys made, he enjoyed the gossip immensely.

But although this family was rich, they were stingy.

In their 300-square-meter mansion, besides Chi Qingyi, the male housekeeper, and the old steward in his seventies, there wasn't another living soul! Their gossip garden had no one to inherit it. Tragic...

Until one day, he found a young man at the door, covered in dust and looking like a little beggar.

After Chi Qingyi pleaded with tears in his eyes, the young masters made an unprecedented decision and let the man stay, making him the second male housekeeper in the family.

Chi Qingyi (teary-eyed): At least now there's someone to carry on the legacy...

But the newcomer was a little dumb.

After watching him get his bonus docked for the Nth time, Chi Qingyi shook his head over and over.

The kid was young and didn't know any better. Chi Qingyi would have to teach him.

-

Pei Jue had been wandering for over twenty years. Even though he knew he was the biological son the head of the Pei family had been searching for, he had never thought of going back to fight for anything.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. They wanted to ruin his future, drive him to desperation, and make him live like a dog in the mud...

Whoosh-

Well then, let the game begin.
