Lawyer Qin Joins a Dating Show Just to Make Money

(The main story and all bonus chapters are complete) (Major revisions to chapters 19, 20, and 63)

A serious, cool-headed, slightly sadistic beauty of a top who likes being in control × a sharp-tongued, arrogant, straightforward, double-standard cool guy younger bottom [A beautiful master and his most loyal dog]

As the law firm's star lawyer, Qin Jingyuan works year-round without a day off. He's the very definition of a workaholic.

Raised in an orphanage, he lives by one principle: money is the only thing that will never betray you.

The law firm employees are being worked to the bone, so they jointly petition the boss, demanding that Qin Jingyuan be forced to take his annual leave.

Unhappy about being bundled off to a reality show, Qin Jingyuan says, "No one gets to stand in the way of me making money."

Boss: "It's a relaxing travel show with prize money. You can travel and make money at the same time."

At the words "prize money," Qin Jingyuan relents: "Fine."

The moment he gets off the helicopter, all of Qin Jingyuan's luggage is confiscated.

Seeing that the other three men have also had their luggage taken away, Lawyer Qin assumes this must be a team survival show.

It isn't until he sees three love-interest texts on his phone that he realizes this is a survival-themed dating show.

Lawyer Qin pushes up his glasses. At least completing the challenges earns prize money, which is also dating money. He doesn't care who he's paired with, as long as they don't get in the way of him making money.

Since same-sex marriage became legal, Love in the Wilderness, the first same-sex survival dating show, has attracted widespread public interest.

Islands, snow-capped mountains, deserts... The production team aims to make sparks fly in the harshest environments.

Between men, is it a brotherhood forged through life and death, or a love that lasts until death?

Lawyer Qin, with one-sided crushes pointed at him from every direction, has this to say: He just wants to make money.

When he gets stranded with someone in the snow-covered mountains, Qin Jingyuan looks at the man's face, so pale from the cold that it blends in with his hair, and offers an unusually kind question:

"What are you thinking about right now?"

The man stares at him without blinking, his eyelashes encrusted with frost.

"I'm wondering how much money I'd have to make to marry you, Lawyer Qin."

Maybe he should just leave that kid to freeze out here.

One-on-one, older top-younger bottom, each other's first love, happy ending.

Devoted husband, talented racing-driver bottom who loves digging up wild vegetables

A few reading tips:

1. The top is 28, the bottom is 22, with a six-year age gap. Slow burn, as far as the top is concerned. Pure romance.

2. The bottom pursues the top wholeheartedly and is a lovesick, silly puppy. At first, the top only cares about making money and has no interest in dating. The top develops feelings in chapter 111. The top is adored by everyone, with one-sided crushes pointed at him from all directions. They eventually become a mutually devoted couple, with the top ≫≫≫≫ the bottom.

3. Beautiful top × cool and seemingly indifferent, but very disciplined in bed. He's a husband and an older brother, OvO.

4. My one true love in this life: an overpowered, universally adored top who has absolute authority over the bottom in body and mind. This is the truth.

5. Same-sex marriage is legal in this partly fictionalized setting. The reality show takes some inspiration from Single's Inferno.

Theme: Stand together through hardship and make it to the end.
