Scumbag Top Crashes and Burns! Every Guest on the Dating Show Is Reborn

The next book is How Do You Kick a Cold-Blooded Scumbag Out of the House? The blurb is at the end, and it’s also on my profile.

This book: [Dating Show + The Bottom Spoils the Top First, Then They Spoil Each Other + Power Couple]

Xue Jin is an internet wage slave by day and the ultimate top at ROMA by night.

Before filming for the dating show began, the producer’s uncle begged him to mend his ways, his own father warned him that variety shows and he were a terrible match, and then came a mysterious phone call.

He was a little nervous, but thinking of the enormous breach-of-contract penalty, he decided to put up with it.

Every guest was a handsome, wealthy big shot:

No. 1: a gentle, considerate cafe owner who was good at making cakes;

No. 2: a proud, polished luxury fashion designer with a distinctive sense of style;

No. 3: a mild-mannered, pale medical researcher who always looked sickly;

No. 4: an aloof, arrogant esports player who was famous throughout the league;

No. 5: a cold, solitary CEO with wealth beyond measure.

Xue Jin couldn’t cook, clean, exercise, or play games, so he went into dodge-everything mode. Even so, he became the “most popular guest” and was forced into several dates.

Feeling frustrated, he often headed to ROMA after the day’s dates were over. He would put on a mask, fasten a silver chain, bare the thorny rose tattoo on his collarbone, and take the stage, becoming the midnight seducer countless people dreamed of.

A black shirt he had worn was bid up to a price of tens of thousands.

He kept coming home only in the early hours, and his roommates repeatedly cornered him in the living room to demand answers.

The guests secretly came after him at his company, the subway station, and the bar, chasing him everywhere.

Then his high school roommate, college classmates, and people who had once been close to him before inexplicably falling out with him all began to appear...

Only then did Xue Jin realize that the guests and friends who seemed to hate him and constantly put on airs and give him the cold shoulder were secretly keeping an eye on him, and knew all his likes and habits by heart.

After a car accident, his roommate rushed into the sea of flames without regard for his own life, determined to die with him. Only then did Xue Jin finally learn the truth: everyone but him had been reborn!

And in his previous life, he had been a notorious playboy who rose to fame by selling his ships.

CP: Xue Jin x Pei Xingzhi.

The top is a novice at love, relying on his looks and social skills to get by. He seems flirtatious, but doesn’t believe in love;

The bottom is a Chinese-German mixed-race green-eyed beauty, cold and powerful on the outside, but devoted and persistent at heart.

Highlights:

1. Both leads are each other’s first and only. No splitting them up or reversing their roles.

2. Both are strong, tall, handsome adults.

3. The story is mainly told from the top’s perspective. Many people fall for him, but he only returns the bottom’s feelings.

How Do You Kick a Cold-Blooded Scumbag Out of the House?

In Fu Yanqing’s eyes, Chen Jing is a gentle, steady gentleman.

But in truth, he’s a scumbag who abandoned his boyfriend, forsook his mother, and hid his cold-hearted nature.

Fu Yanqing was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, a young master from Shencheng. Handsome and charming, he loves fine wine and beautiful people most of all. But one look at his class president at S University, and he was hooked.

Chen Jing lost both parents. He’s gentle and strong, excels in both academics and conduct, and is the president of S University’s student union. He’s so perfect you can’t find a single flaw.

His one weakness? He’s poor!

Every day, he’s either working part-time and studying, or on his way to work part-time and study.

Fu Yanqing loves teasing him with suggestive remarks, taking every opportunity to hit on Chen Jing and watch him blush and grow flustered.

Though his first confession failed and he had to put up with his childhood friend’s teasing, the second was a huge success. After graduation, he immediately introduced Chen Jing to his parents, then they registered their marriage abroad... His parents even threw them a wedding celebration a hundred days after the marriage.

Fu Yanqing thought no one in the world could be happier than he was.

Until the wedding day.

Chen Jing’s ex-boyfriend arrived with proof of their loving relationship and photos of Chen Jing’s mother, then climbed onto the officiant’s platform...

His world came crashing down.

Only then did Fu Yanqing realize that the partner he had trusted without question and taken pride in was a cold-blooded, selfish devil.

So he tore into the scumbag, divorced him at once, and kicked him out of the house, forbidding him from ever setting foot in Shencheng again!

Later...

Whenever Chen Jing was out of his sight for even half a minute, Fu Yanqing would get a headache from wanting to kill someone.

The story opens with the top’s ex-boyfriend appearing. The blurb is written from the bottom’s perspective.

[Connected stories, same world]

[First story: Poor, self-reliant, rational and unfeeling top x wealthy, obsessive, devoted young master bottom]

The top cheats with two people, abandons his mother in the countryside, and marries into a wealthy family. Then his vengeful ex-boyfriend capsizes his boat, leaving him to fall from white-collar city life into the life of a homeless drifter in the countryside (with a mountain of debt).

[Second story: Cold-blooded fake young master top x stern-faced, warm-hearted uncle bottom]

The top uses a keepsake belonging to a friend to become a fake young master, taken in by his uncle’s wealthy family. His friend later exposes him, and he’s exiled to the frontier to pick through trash (with no food or water).

[Third story: ...]

I’m thinking about what other kinds of scumbags I haven’t put through the wringer yet.

Please note:

1. Neither lead is perfect, and both will grow.

2. The deception is real, the cold-heartedness is real, and so is the love. If you can’t accept a genuinely scummy character who really does terrible things, don’t read.

3. No breaking them up, switching roles, or self-insert fantasies. One-on-one, both have only each other, happy ending, and the couple stays together forever.

Theme: Don’t trust the scumbag persona. Trust your heart.
