Tokyo Dating Show: This Man Only Wants to Sell Products

Lin Cheng, also known by his Japanese name, Morishita Naru. He was a merchant from the Empire of the Far East, but fate had other plans. A talent scout spotted him and invited him to join a dating show pairing ordinary people with celebrities. If he were an ordinary man, this might have been the perfect start to winning a wealthy celebrity’s heart and making it big. But he was dying, and not just any kind of dying. He had a terminal illness. His only chance to survive was the Product Promotion System he had recently obtained. The more valuable the products he sold, the more money he could earn to buy extra life and skills. And so a bizarre new chapter began in Tokyo’s variety-show history. While everyone else on the dating show whispered sweet nothings, Lin Cheng would be talking romance one moment, then pulling a drink out of thin air with a magic trick and pitching it the next. “Worried about getting overheated? Drink Jiaoshao Bao!” While the others planned surprises and gave out roses, Lin Cheng made snacks and diamond rings appear out of nowhere. “One person for a lifetime, and a DK ring for just one.” He became more and more outrageous in his product promotions, doing magic, commercials, dancing, composing, singing, acting, and screenwriting. This man, talented enough to seem like a god, had only one thing on his mind: selling products! Akina Nakamori: “Amazing! I love him!” Satomi Ishihara: “Why didn’t I join the show back then and meet him first?” Kanna Hashimoto: “The first man ever to say I’m only average-looking! I’ll remember him!”
