[Updates may be irregular due to work. Only the weekly word-count target of 15,000 to 20,000 words is guaranteed, please note! Begins with a regretful ex seeking forgiveness. Melodramatic story. The bottom doesn't forgive, he only gets revenge. Includes mystery.]
After being retired for three years, Xing Shaoqi returned to the industry and could already feel that times had changed.
When he left the industry, the most popular shows on the market were dating shows.
When he came back, the producer's first suggestion was a reconciliation show.
"Romance, dating, marriage, divorce, every kind of topic has been done to death."
"We have to find a new angle, like... a show about getting back together with an ex."
"The contestants have to be controversial and famous, with colorful love lives. Their exes have to be constantly in the headlines, and most importantly..."
"Every one of their exes has to want them back."
Xing Shaoqi, an omega and a three-crown film emperor in the entertainment industry, was nicknamed the top-tier star of the Eight Breakups by netizens.
Ex number one: a singer turned hot-tempered, outspoken top-tier star. But when he mentioned Xing Shaoqi on a livestream, his eyes reddened.
Ex number two: a famous celebrity and renowned award-winning actor. The refined, gentle man refused to give an inch at a press conference. "We aren't divorced. It's all rumors."
Ex number X: a famous domineering CEO worth over a hundred billion, who knelt all night outside Xing's home on the eve of their divorce.
There was also a married couple whose arranged marriage fell apart over him, a legendary director who left his wild ways behind, and more...
With eight exes and eight love stories that had netizens digging for details, Xing Shaoqi was the perfect choice for the show.
Holding the contract, Xing Shaoqi looked at the producer.
"Let's get back together, my love?" He smiled. "You want me as a contestant so I can pick one of them again? Then why not rename the show..."
"Love the Bastards Again."

Xing Shaoqi's appearance on the reconciliation show caused a huge uproar online.
It was the first show of its kind in the country, with Xing Shaoqi as the main guest and eight of his exes appearing as guest contestants.
Each ex would appear for three episodes, revisiting the past with Xing Shaoqi and letting the audience peer into the ashes of their love.
Would their love be rekindled, or would their feelings fade away?
The final episode would reveal the answer.
Before the show aired, an audio clip of Xing Shaoqi went viral.
"I can take part, but I can't promise that everything I say or do can be broadcast. If they're willing, I can sign an agreement."
"Also, I have to make this clear in advance."
"If watching the show damages these people's reputations, I take no responsibility."
The producer's voice sounded strained. "Generally speaking... both sides are at fault in a relationship..."
Film Emperor Xing scoffed. "Love and romance? They deserve that?"
"A bunch of trash who treated me like a dog back then, and now they're all eager to be dogs themselves."

I'm here to urge the author again 🤗
Can anyone kindly tell me how long it will take for it to end? I don't really want to follow the series, but I really want to watch it 😭 😭 😭
When will it be updated? 😭 😭 QWQ
Will the author update again? Author 🤗 (shaking, not hugging)
What it means is that each code should correspond to an o, and then the inhibitor is adjusted based on this. But now Xing's and Lan's have the same flavor? Is that what you mean?
The author suddenly updates every day, and I feel flattered. Who knows [Cat Head]
Oh my god, it's really hard to guess who the attacker is. There is a saying that none of the supporting characters who have appeared so far think they can be the attacker 🤔
Damn, when can we resume daily updates? 😭
If the world is really abo, then it will indeed be so cruel under the power struggle. I really like my wife's world view.
