"After seeing all the beauty in the world, you are still the one I loved from the start."

The news that Shi Jin and Cheng Zui would appear on a dating reality show set every major app ablaze as soon as it was announced.

Cheng Zui's fans sneered. "That nobody is throwing herself at him. As if Ninth Master Cheng would give her the time of day!"

But on the day of the livestream, the usually cold and sharp-tongued Ninth Master Cheng was gentle and considerate toward Shi Jin at every turn, showing his favoritism without the slightest attempt to hide it.

Cheng Zui's fans: We were so wrong!

Not long after, someone claimed, "Shi Jin has a sugar daddy. The two of them are just putting on an act."

Powerful figures across the capital all posted at once: "Our little darling has a sugar daddy? Step forward and let us have a look. [Smiling face]"

Haters: Damn, she's got a powerful backer hiding in plain sight.

[Bonus Scene]

On a variety show, Cheng Zui took part in a challenge to resist falling for anyone. He watched videos full of beautiful women and didn't lose a single round.

That is, until someone called out, "Shi Jin!"

Cheng Zui's heartbeat, steady as a flatline, suddenly went through the roof!

The host teased him, "Miss Shi isn't here today. Where is she?"

Cheng Zui said, "In my heart."
