The Hated Husband Who Became a Star on a Dating Show [Entertainment]

System: "You are gaunt, withered, and utterly charm-free, a pitiful husband who spent seven years trying to win your husband's affection without ever being touched by him."

Pei Du: "Oh."

System: "You are secretly married to a top-tier star. Even after being abandoned, you still long for your husband's love..."

Pei Du: "Oh."

System: "You look forward to every interaction with your husband. For example, he's messaged you now, so you should at least reply right away."

Pei Du: "Oh."

System: "Wait... why did you reply, 'What are you barking about?!' Your husband will be furious!!!"

Pei Du: "Because I'm kind. The dog next door is about to give birth. If he hurries up and dies, he can still make it in time to be reincarnated."

System: "Going against the original character's will will make everyone hate you. One of your husband's fans has already asked how much you charge for a night!"

Pei Du (expressionless, pulling out a huge iron hammer): "Five thousand for mourning, eight thousand for keeping vigil, ten thousand for crushing bones. Who's got a dead person in the family? I'm free tonight."

-

After a long day's work, Pei Du woke up as someone else. He was no longer a tax officer in charge of investigating the entertainment industry's tax affairs, but the secretly married husband of a top-tier star.

His husband was a country-born, ambitious man who had risen to become a top-tier male celebrity with Pei Du's support.

And yet, despite groveling, begging, forcing him into marriage, and losing all dignity, Pei Du still couldn't win his husband's heart. Instead, this phoenix man pushed him into the eye of a public storm, leaving him facing a fate of being hounded to death.

Pei Du: ?

Then what's there to say? I'll return to my old profession: investigate his taxes and clean up the entertainment industry while I'm at it.

The System was deeply shaken.

The System had long suffered from its "pitiful, meek, and stupid pushover" character setting. The original character's stupidity and weakness had already scrambled the System's code with rage.

When someone like this suddenly showed up, the System immediately unlocked all its privileges:

[All right. Given your extraordinary courage, astonishing boldness, and exceptional intelligence, you don't match the original character you transmigrated into.]

[The Transmigration Bureau will give you an SSS-grade system. All you have to do is fall in love with another man! Every time you complete a stage mission, the System will help you soar to the skies! You'll also receive ten thousand taels of gold!]

But this time, Pei Du's expression cracked a little:

"Fall in love with another man...? I'm straight."

System: [Oh, right. Your original character was a devoted, homemaking bottom. At most, the System can change you into a cold-faced, cute bottom. It can't make you straight.]

Fine, then.

If you don't like the script, tear it up.

If you have to go on a dating show, turn it into a complete madhouse.

If you have to date a man, pick a cold, serious, emotionally detached one who has no interest in romance.

Pei Du didn't think it would be difficult.

In fact, he really was invincible, undefeated in battle.

And so.

Reforming the scumbag, cleaning up the entertainment industry, restoring his reputation, and reclaiming his property all went quite smoothly. There was only one thing that fell outside Pei Du's plan...

The sexually indifferent top he'd painstakingly chosen actually managed to make this "straight man" fall in love.

Of course.

It came at quite a price.

"Why were you talking to your husband again today?"

The man's low voice was infused with a chilling menace. He was jealous every single day, and the moment he opened his mouth, he wouldn't stop. "Stop plotting to eat the crap in your bowl while eyeing the fine food in someone else's pot. I advise you to divorce your husband as soon as possible and come over to the right side."

Pei Du expressionlessly pushed the man's handsome face away and frowned faintly. "...What's wrong with us talking? Besides, we divorced ages ago... Mm!"

The man clung to him again and slapped the water on his hand across his wife's face, yelling and roaring with feigned ferocity:

"You are not allowed to talk to him!"

Pei Du: ...

[Jealous, possessive, hot-tempered corgi-like top ❤ cold-faced, cute, unyielding, calm bottom who fights back]

[Qi Renjun ❤ Pei Du]

Xiao Yu is the Duke Protector, a powerful official who commands the whole court.

He has never lost a battle. Cool and handsome, yet he is neither a Tianqian nor a Zedui, but a Di Kun.

Di Kun are born to submit to others and are naturally lustful.

Like female dogs, they have heat cycles and go into heat easily.

Yet Xiao Yu wants nothing to do with love and romance, devoting himself entirely to serving his country.

Whenever his heat comes, he endures it by relying on a single sachet.

But the day Xiao Yu sweeps away the barbarians and reclaims a million li of lost territory

is also the day he is discarded once his usefulness is over!

Emperor Fengyang takes advantage of Xiao Yu's weakness during his heat, not only stealing his sachet but also tricking him into the enemy camp, full of Tianqian.

But nobody could have imagined what happened next!

The barbarian leader has a handsome face and lazily looks Xiao Yu over. "Holy crap, man, you're already hit with a weakness debuff. Let's talk this out. How about a Coke to bury the hatchet?"

Xiao Yu stares expressionlessly at the "poison," which gurgles and bubbles strangely.

He figures it would be better than dying in disgrace.

He gulps it down in one go... and it's...

Sweet?

Fu Zhi is a college student,

and one who has survived countless rounds of an infinite-flow game, finally reaching the absolute top rank of No. 1 and leading a ten-person team through countless dungeons.

So compared to the big scenes he's seen before,

this little situation in front of him feels like retirement.

Taking advantage of his ability to keep pulling things out of the Infinite Grocery Store, Fu Zhi plans to tempt Xiao Yu with all kinds of good stuff and get him to put down the sword and embrace enlightenment.

But why has this cold-faced Bodhisattva...

collapsed into his arms as though his reason has completely burned away, breathing sweetly as he seduces him? "...You may hold me."

Fu Zhi: ??? So this is what a cup of Coke costs...

-

3.

Without the sachet that suppresses his heat, Xiao Yu fully enters his heat cycle, and his Di Kun nature inevitably comes to the fore.

Fu Zhi can only carefully hold this ruthless, aloof beauty in his arms, unable to tear his infatuated gaze away.

How can you blame him?

Xiao Yu is exactly his type!

When Xiao Yu regains his senses and looks at the condoms scattered across the floor, he asks expressionlessly, "What are these?"

Fu Zhi: "Uh, contraceptives."

Xiao Yu: "Then what are you?"

Fu Zhi kisses Xiao Yu on the forehead, eyes shining with delight. "I'm option E, I'm plan D,

I'm a little puppy caught in the rain. So, Teacher, you won't kill me, right?"

Xiao Yu's cool, otherworldly face remains expressionless, but his faintly furrowed brows show his confusion.

In the end, Xiao Yu points to the chastity lock on himself. "What about this?"

To save his own head, Fu Zhi says, "...It's something that stops your heat. Once it's locked, you won't want it anymore."

And so, from then on, whenever Xiao Yu goes out, he orders Fu Zhi to put the chastity lock on him.

Fu Zhi: ...

-

4.

Maybe it's guilt over deceiving his wife, or maybe his conscience has finally kicked in.

Fu Zhi: "I'll help you take revenge on Emperor Yang and make you emperor, okay?"

Xiao Yu looks at Fu Zhi coldly. "You?"

Fu Zhi, who has fought his way through countless dungeons, continues to play the pig to eat the tiger and act dumb. "Mm-hmm! I don't want any reward. Just call me hubby, Teacher!"
