[Upcoming: The Real Young Master Binds Himself to a Gossip System]

Shi Mu was a lofty beauty in the entertainment industry, and had never been involved in a scandal in all his years since debuting. The year he turned twenty-four, his family arranged a blind date for him. When he opened the door, he saw the person he had been secretly in love with for seven years: Xie Ji.

Xie Ji was twenty-six this year, an undisputed veteran actor in the industry, known for his acting skills. He had already won every award there was to win.

At that moment, Xie Ji himself was smiling happily at him, his peach-blossom eyes curved. “Hello.”

Shi Mu: “What a coincidence. Are you here for a blind date too?”

Xie Ji’s smile took on a meaningful note. “Mm, what a coincidence.”

While Shi Mu was still trying to think of something to talk about, the man across from him said, “We’ll get married in half a month. I’ve already arranged the wedding venue. We can go pick out rings later. Our parents can meet tomorrow.”

After saying it all in one breath, Xie Ji looked at Shi Mu with those beautiful eyes. “What do you think?”

Shi Mu hadn’t caught up yet. What, what? How had they suddenly gotten to marriage? Wasn’t this moving a little too fast?

Xie Ji continued as naturally as could be. “Don’t worry. I had someone pick an auspicious date for our wedding. It’s absolutely perfect.”

All Shi Mu could manage was, “Huh?” But the two of them didn’t have any romantic foundation, and Xie Ji also...

Xie Ji looked at him with an elegant smile. “Will you say yes?”

Shi Mu: “...Sure.”

After they got married, the two of them went on a dating reality show together and were assigned to the same team.

According to the script, they were supposed to be strangers at first, treating each other like “ice.” Only after a series of setbacks would the ice between them thaw.

But on the very first day, Shi Mu was reading the script on the sofa while Xie Ji brought him a fruit plate and fed him fruit.

Shi Mu instinctively took a bite. Then he remembered the script and immediately turned cold. “Mm, it doesn’t taste good.”

Smiling, Xie Ji picked up another piece of watermelon for him. “Then try some watermelon.”

Shi Mu’s expression grew even colder. He coldly bit into the watermelon and said, “It doesn’t taste good.”

In the end, Shi Mu read the script while Xie Ji fed him fruit.

The livestream audience: [Mm, what? Weren’t these two acting all cold and distant before?]

[I’ll finish this bowl of public displays of affection. Everyone else, help yourselves.]

[Shi Mu: Mm, it doesn’t taste good. The next second: Hey, I ate it all.]

[Wait... is this some new way to show off their love?]

*

After the show ended, Shi Mu and Xie Ji announced their relationship. Shi Mu had thought the announcement would bring a flood of disbelief and insults.

Instead, everyone said, [Got it, got it. Haven’t you two been together for ages?]

[No, wait, you’re announcing it twice? Didn’t you already announce it on the show?]

[Run! Here comes another serving of public displays of affection.]

[When it comes to showing off your love, it’s got to be you two.]

After learning that Xie Ji had also been secretly in love with him for years, Shi Mu asked with a complicated expression, “Then when we first met...”

At that, Xie Ji pretended to be embarrassed. “I was just testing the waters. Who knew you’d agree so quickly?”

Shi Mu went straight into Xie Ji’s arms. “Don’t get a good deal and then act like you’re the one who got cheated.”

Xie Ji hugged him back. “Mm, I just love my darling too much. I couldn’t wait to marry you.”

A beautiful shou who seems cold but is actually direct and forward × a gong who seems refined but is actually a scheming black-bellied type with tons of tricks

Mutual pining, married from the start.

Super sweet, no angst.

Upcoming: The Real Young Master Binds Himself to a Gossip System

Gu Chaomu was the real young master in a switched-at-birth story. His biological parents found him when he was sixteen. They told him to get along with the fake young master, while showing favoritism toward the fake young master at every turn.

Gu Chaomu worked hard to put down roots in a wealthy family, not for the sake of family affection, but mainly for the money. He could live without their affection, but he would not accept getting less than the money that belonged to him.

No one was going to take even a single cent of his money from him.

But only a month after he was brought back into the family, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Just as he was despairing and waiting to die, something claiming to be a Gossip System came to him. [Host, as long as you complete the gossip check-in missions, I can cure your terminal illness.]

Gu Chaomu: [I’m in.]

So when the Gu family held a banquet, everyone looked down on the unloved real young master. Gu Father pinched his nose and took Gu Chaomu around to socialize.

Gu Father: “This is your Uncle Li.”

Gu Chaomu: “I know, I know. He had a secret rendezvous with his mistress, then his wife kicked him out of their room naked. He fell and knocked out a front tooth. He even lied to you all, saying he fell because he drank too much.”

Uncle Li: “Th-this...”

Someone came over to provoke him. “Do you really have the nerve to take Ranran’s place?”

Gu Chaomu didn’t even raise his eyelids. “Yes, yes, yes. Who has more nerve than you? You found forty-nine stand-ins for Gu Qiran. You even made those stand-ins pretend to be Gu Qiran and slap you every night.”

The person: “You...”

At school, someone provoked him. “What right does a country bumpkin like you have to study with us?”

Gu Chaomu worked on his exercises as he replied, “Oh, oh, oh. Your dad’s taking his illegitimate child to meet the family right now.”

That person rushed home at once.

Gu Mother: “How can you compare yourself to Ranran?”

Gu Chaomu listened to English with his headphones on. “Mm, mm, mm. Your Ranran is transferring your assets right now.”

Gu Mother screamed and ran off.

Gu Father: “What about you makes you look like my son?”

Gu Chaomu drank his milk. “I don’t know if I’m your son, but your newborn son definitely isn’t yours. Your young girlfriend is planning with her boyfriend to trick you into bringing their son into the Gu family.”

Gu Father: “What?!”

With the attitude that it was better to wreck other people than let himself be consumed by inner turmoil, Gu Chaomu made everyone fear him. They were all terrified that one day he would reveal their secrets.

Gu Chaomu: “I’m not the one saying it, but the rich really do get up to some wild stuff. Is this a wealthy family? It’s a whole field of melons!”

A certain someone who happened to pass by every time: “Interesting.”
