Divorced First, Loved Later: My Ex-Wife Is Taking the Dating Show Scene by Storm

Xu Zhaozhao, an actress from the bottom ranks of the industry with a mountain of scandalous rumors, joins one last dating show before quitting showbiz. To her surprise, she reunites on the show with Shen Mu, her ex-husband, whom she had just married and divorced in a whirlwind romance.

Though they were husband and wife for only seven days, they are strangely in sync when they pretend to be strangers.

Following the vicious supporting-character persona her company assigned her, Xu Zhaozhao constantly flatters the Best Actor on the show and dishes out sugary, manipulative remarks. She plays the foil to the sweet, innocent newcomer from her agency: Xu is the seductive schemer, while the newcomer, Chu Chu, is so pitiful and lovable that everyone wants to protect her. Xu helps make Chu Chu even more endearing to viewers, but also angers the other female contestants, who see her as a common enemy.

Who could have guessed that just as Xu was going all in on her homewrecker persona, her ex-husband would have a meltdown?

Not only does he forcefully interfere whenever another male contestant asks her out, he also clings to her every chance he gets, leaving her no opportunity to get involved with another man.

Xu Zhaozhao sneers, "Shen Mu, you never clung to me like this when we were married."

The CEO, who has unexpectedly ended up on a dating show, pins Xu Zhaozhao against a wall, his face turning red. "When are you free? I want to ask you to marry me again."
