Question: What do I do if I end up on the same variety show as my ex?
Asking online. It's pretty urgent.

Ji Nian and He Nanzhi are famous in the entertainment industry for bickering whenever they meet, putting on every kind of childish squabble imaginable.
Their fanbases are just as hostile, either fighting each other or on their way to another fight.
Then rumors emerged that a variety show director was planning to invite them both onto the same program
Netizen: Put those two on one show? Is the director trying to get fired?
Netizen: The crew better have a few medical staff and security guards on hand, in case those two start fighting.
Netizen: If they really do fight, they can hold hands and leave showbiz together, hehe.
Their agents came to discuss the show, and both of them scoffed
Ji Nian: Me filming a variety show with him? Is the director crazy, or am I?
He Nanzhi: Am I planning to quit the entertainment industry or something?
Their agents asked expressionlessly, "So, are you filming it or not?"
After a moment of silence, they answered in perfect unison: "...We're in."

Once the show aired, clips edited to highlight all their flirty moments sent Ji Nian and He Nanzhi's names trending together again. This time, though, it wasn't for fighting. They were trending as a couple.
Netizen: Has the show gone crazy? Of all the people they could pair up, they chose these two?
Netizen: But I have to admit, the enemies-to-lovers trope is pretty good!
Netizen: ? You've got quite the appetite. When you're old, I'll sell you all health supplements.
Seeing the situation, their agent immediately went to find Ji Nian.
Ji Nian was very unhappy about it. "Didn't we agree you wouldn't make me pretend to be gay with someone else for clout?"
His agent said, "What do you mean, pretend to be gay?! This is just standard variety-show promotion! It can't hurt you! Look how popular your ship is..."
Ji Nian scoffed and cut him off. "He's my ex-boyfriend."
"...Your what?"
