A Happy Ending After Joining a Travel Reality Show with My Top-Tier Star Ex

[Carefree, heartless fox-like bottom × Tsundere top who says one thing but means another]

Jiang Zhuqing has a problem.

After losing his memory in an accident, he keeps dreaming of a figure who makes his heart race, but he can't even tell whether that person is a man or a woman.

His unreliable friend and therapist says, "That's just a hallucination caused by loneliness. You need to fall in love!"

So Jiang Zhuqing puts finding a partner on his to-do list.

At a party one day, he meets the legendary rival he's always heard about, Lu Tingyun. The man is like pristine snow atop a mountain, aloof and noble, untouched by the mundane world.

Jiang Zhuqing presses a hand to his pounding heart.

Whether it's love at first sight or just being taken by someone's looks, he wants to give things a try with this man.

Lu Tingyun, former leader of an idol boy band, hates two things more than anything in the world:

First, being treated as a substitute by his family.

Second, being treated as a substitute by his friends.

Ever since, he's loathed the very idea.

But he never imagined that, to his sweet, affectionate, clingy boyfriend, he too would be a substitute.

Lu Tingyun: "Wonderful."

He tossed away the engagement ring and prepared to have nothing more to do with Jiang Zhuqing for the rest of their lives.

After they broke up, Jiang Zhuqing put his clingy tactics to work and followed Lu Tingyun onto a livestream travel show. The platform nearly crashed.

The viewers waited for the bitter rivals to tear into each other, but

At their first meeting on the grasslands, Jiang Zhuqing wrapped both arms tightly around Lu Tingyun. After getting pinched, he complained softly, "Your grip is so strong~"

On the streets of the ancient city, the pink rose Jiang Zhuqing had kissed so tenderly somehow ended up in Lu Tingyun's hands.

At a seaside resort, Jiang Zhuqing pretended to be afraid of bugs and leaped onto Lu Tingyun's back, grinning like a little fox who'd stolen some candy.

In a freezing snowy town, the two got up in the middle of the night to build a snowman and both ended up frozen stiff.

Viewers: Have you two been fighting over a marriage certificate all these years???

After Jiang Zhuqing flirted with him time and again, Lu Tingyun, uncertain what to make of it, pinned him against a wall. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Jiang Zhuqing kissed him, smiling sweetly. "Win you over."

One day, Lu Tingyun discovers that he's the person in Jiang Zhuqing's dreams. The problem is that Jiang Zhuqing hasn't figured it out, and is still making declarations like this:

"He's just a grain of rice and a drop of mosquito blood. Even if he really showed up, I wouldn't give him a second glance. But you, my boyfriend, you're my one and only moonlight forever!"

Lu Tingyun: ...

The good news: He wasn't a substitute for anyone else.

The bad news: He was a substitute for himself.

Reader's Guide: Both are devoted only to each other, happy ending. Livestreaming and lots of viewer comments. Both have lost their memories. Don't expect logic; everything serves the romance. They're both hopeless romantics, and they only love each other.

Coming soon: Picking Up a Villain as My Disciple

[Unflappable master top × Devoted, clingy disciple bottom]

Shen Gui transmigrates into a xianxia novel.

In the original story, the male lead, Gu Changning, discovers that his master has demon blood, so he puts righteousness above family and kills his master with his own hands.

Afterward, he sheds a single, casual tear. "If Master becomes a demon, all living beings will suffer."

Then he carries on as the leader of the immortal sects.

Shen Gui transmigrates into the body of that unfortunate master.

System: "Your task is to save the orphan of the righteous sect, Gu Changning, and raise him to become a pillar of the immortal sects. Please proceed to the mass grave..."

The System malfunctions and goes offline halfway through.

Shen Gui: "Oh."

He goes to the mass grave as instructed and brings back a child covered in wounds, chewing on tree bark to stave off hunger.

He names the child Zhong Buli.

Years later, Zhong Buli grows up to become the youngest sword cultivator, gentle and refined, praised by everyone.

But Shen Gui notices that his disciple is acting stranger and stranger.

Specifically

When he's near Shen Gui, his ears turn red and his eyes dart around. When Shen Gui's back is turned, his expression turns gloomy and troubled.

Shen Gui: "This is an illness. It needs treatment."

One night, he corners Zhong Buli in his room and questions him.

Zhong Buli's eyes are red, his voice hoarse. "Master, I know... I wasn't the one you were supposed to save. I shamelessly took the place of that person."

Shen Gui looks at him and smiles. "Who said I was going to save him? I went there to save you from the very beginning."

Years later, the System comes back online and is furious to discover that Shen Gui has raised a demon infant.

As for the orphan of the righteous sect, who knows what godforsaken corner he's scavenging in?

"Host, you'll regret this!"

Shen Gui asks in confusion, "Regret what? My disciple is handsome and skilled, knows how to act cute and cook, and even keeps the bed warm. He's perfect. What would I regret?"
