Getting Back Together with My Ex on a Dating Show

A proud, aloof beauty shou × a cool guy who says one thing but means another gong

Blurb:

1. "Heart's Moment" is a new dating reality show from Yuetai TV. Its star-studded cast has drawn plenty of attention.

Xu Jingyu is an obscure third-rate screenwriter. After a friend slips him an invitation, he joins the cast. He considers himself dull and lazy, and would rather stay away from performing in front of the cameras.

His friend advises him, "Who says you have to go there to date? See if you can find someone willing to invest in your scripts and make some connections. Get it?"

So Xu Jingyu happily agrees to go.

On the first day of filming, the sky is clear and blue as the cast gathers.

Xu Jingyu stands in a corner, pretending to be invisible. But the moment he sees someone arrive, his eyes twitch, and he grips his suitcase tightly before texting his friend: "Is it still not too late to leave?"

In the distance, a young man with sunglasses and dyed blond hair lounges on his suitcase. The moment he sees Xu Jingyu, he sits up straight.

It's Xing Zhi, the famous drummer, and the ex-husband Xu Jingyu claims "died a long time ago."

His friend tells him not to worry about an ex, that all he has to do is break up properly. And not to forget what his goal is.

Xu Jingyu thinks about the script, then about the disastrous breakup years ago, when he blocked Xing Zhi on every platform. He silently removes Xing Zhi from his block list.

2. On the first day "Heart's Moment" airs, the show dominates the trending searches.

#XuJingyuIsActuallyAnOrdinaryPerson? and #XingZhiJoinsARealityShowOutOfNowhere are especially eye-catching.

Curious netizens who have never seen Xu Jingyu click in, get dazzled by his face, then stumble back out in a daze.

"Wait, this face never debuted?"

"Which part of the industry was blind?"

People who follow the entertainment world know Xing Zhi well.

A drummer. A drummer with a temper. A ridiculously handsome drummer with a temper. Xing Zhi is all of those things.

This guy can play all kinds of drums, and he also writes lyrics and composes music. He's amassed a whole crowd of devoted fans who treat him like their son or boyfriend, yet his love life remains a mystery.

According to someone who was in a band with Xing Zhi back then, he suffered a terrible heartbreak, and the person who hurt him was a man.

But after a few days of filming, people notice something strange. Whenever Xu Jingyu is involved, Xing Zhi acts weird.

If he cares, why does he tell the cameras he hasn't noticed Xu Jingyu?

If he doesn't care, why does he always instinctively try to answer questions about Xu Jingyu?

"I get it. Xu Jingyu is the other person in that heartbreaking story, right?"

"I can remember my friend's birthday but not his score on his second mock exam in high school. How does Xing Zhi do it?"

On the night the hashtag #ThoseTwoAreDefinitelyInvolved starts trending, Xing Zhi posts on Weibo: "On the bus that left that day, I saw you waving at me."

The audience is baffled. No one understands what Xing Zhi means, and they assume it's a lyric from a new song.

The next second, Xu Jingyu reposts it.

"I know."

"You clearly loved me too. Why couldn't we make it work?"

1. A sweet story with no angst. Both leads are stubborn and hopeless romantics.

2. No secondary couple.

3. The plot is entirely fictional and exists to serve the story, with no other meaning.

Theme: If you love me, say it.
