After Joining a Money-Saving Variety Show with My Ex-Husband

The new variety show, "Living on a Budget," aims to portray real life. Eight guests live together, each trying to survive for a month on a 500-yuan allowance. The guest with the most money left at the end wins.

The production team invited an award-winning actor, a model couple, a rising young star, and others. The whole internet was abuzz, with fans crying their eyes out over their beloved idols joining the show to suffer.

Tang Yuan, universally hated online and invited while living in a rented apartment: (eyes trembling in shock)

You mean we get to live in the production team's villa, with rent completely covered, unlimited electricity, water, and Wi-Fi, plus a 500-yuan living allowance every month?

And you call this saving money?

Tang Yuan packed his bags and moved into the show that very night.

As for the guest who was his ex-husband, that wasn't important.

In his ex-husband's eyes, he was nothing but a joke.

During filming.

The rising young star wept to the camera: "What should I do? I can't cook. I ordered takeout, and now I only have 450 yuan left."

Tang Yuan walked past carrying his luxury sushi. "Huh? Group meals on Pinduoduo are only 3.9 yuan today. Don't you get those?"

The model couple had spent 80 yuan on a taxi to the market. They stared at the 420 yuan they had left, lost in thought.

Tang Yuan, who had just gotten off the bus: ?

Strange. What are they standing around daydreaming about?

When the show aired, fans came armed with tissues, ready to cry for their beloved idols, while haters grabbed their keyboards, ready to tear into Tang Yuan.

But then...

Huh? The idols are getting group meals with Tang Yuan every day.

Huh? My fave is riding the bus with Tang Yuan.

...Tang Yuan, don't take advantage of the fact that nobody's downloaded Pinduoduo to make everyone help you slash the price!

You know, Tang Yuan's actually kind of easy on the eyes. Maybe I could ship them a little...

Wait, why is the award-winning actor kissing him?!

[Bonus Scene]

For Tang Yuan, 500 yuan was more than enough to last a month.

The only problem was that he wasn't much of a cook, so he could only make quick meals by boiling frozen dumplings or sweet rice balls every day.

Suddenly, someone beside him brought over a plate of slow-braised marbled beef and said softly, "I cooked rice too. Want to eat together?"

"You've lost so much weight."

No one knew how the universally hated online star Tang Yuan had once arrogantly and imperiously thrown stacks of money at the famous award-winning actor, tugged on his tie, and said with a laugh, "This young master wants you to spend the night with me."

Before his family fell into ruin, the young master had never so much as set foot in a kitchen. His daily pocket money had never been less than five figures.

Tang Yuan looked at the familiar man, and his eyes suddenly reddened.

"If you keep spending money like this, will you come mooch off my meals when you run out at the end of the month?"
