After Joining a Dating Show, the Universally Hated Became Everyone’s Most-Wanted Marriage Partner Top

The aloof film emperor turns into a devoted, iron-willed husband who lives for his wife! The timid, shy little one turns into a lively little ray of sunshine! [A gentle, beautiful, wifely bottom × a tough film emperor top who looks cold and proud but is so smitten with his wife that he often clenches his fists and cries over how adorable his wife is] Ji Ziyi has transmigrated into a wealthy-family entertainment-industry novel, as a cannon fodder doomed to court his own ruin. In the novel, the cannon fodder who shares his name is an eighteenth-tier nobody, a vain, affected little star whom the internet despises. A distant branch member of the Ji family, he used underhanded tricks behind the scenes to swap places with the novel’s protagonist, who was meant to marry the wealthy film emperor Fu Li, and so he married into the family. After the wedding he stayed as arrogant as ever, secretly giving Fu Li’s adopted son the cold shoulder and flaunting his new wealth, until Fu Li and the whole family came to loathe him. His ending, of course, is fit for a cannon fodder: after Fu Li forces a divorce, he is left homeless and beaten to death by debt collectors. * * * Gentle by nature and having never read the novel, Ji Ziyi has no idea what is going on. He decides to take it one step at a time, patiently. Luckily, the timeline is still early: the cannon fodder and film emperor Fu Li have only just married. But the cannon fodder has already signed on to a variety show with Apple TV Station. As newlyweds, he and his film emperor husband Fu Li are to bring their adopted son on the show, put on a grand display of wealthy-family life, build up some popularity, and push into the film industry. Having transmigrated, Ji Ziyi honors the contract. During the first episode’s shoot… When the little one trips and falls, covering himself in mud, he sniffles and whispers, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Ji Ziyi picks him up, wipes away his tears, and kisses his little cheek. “Don’t cry, baby. How about we have a little cake? It just came out of the oven, still nice and warm.” The little one, who has only ever been spoken to coldly: ? At mealtime, Fu Li, who despises the “Ji Ziyi” he believes is putting on a vain, hypocritical act, lingers in another guest’s room rather than share a space with him. Blushing, Ji Ziyi stands awkwardly at the door and calls, “H-honey, dinner’s ready.” Fu Li feels his sleeve being tugged and hears his wife say, a little evasively and a little wronged, “Why didn’t you come back? The crew all laughed at me.” Fu Li: ? He’s hooked. Something is off. Keep watching. After the meal, Ji Ziyi hands out pastries and little steamed buns to the camera crew. The crew, who had braced themselves to be pranked or poisoned, take one bite: ! When the first episode airs, the comments section reads: [? This is the sour-faced Ji Ziyi??] [Does anyone else get it? He’s so pretty and so gentle. When his little face went red as he called him “honey,” I blurted out, “Aww!”] [Fake, I tell you! Keep pretending! The cake was store-bought, and someone else definitely cooked the dishes. Let’s see how long you can keep up the innocent act!] [+1. The little one’s frightened look when he first saw him doesn’t lie. This guy has done plenty of evil!] [LOL, even the great film emperor Fu gives him the cold eye. Need I say more?] When the final episode of the dating show airs, the comments section reads: [My beautiful wife! Mine! Mine! Mine! (going insane) (killing everyone)] [Kill Fu the dog! Give me back my gentle wife, ahhhhh!!!] [I’m crawling all over the floor. I knelt before the Buddha for two thousand years just to dream of marrying Ji Ziyi!!!] [They’re so perfect together! Boss Fu spoils him so much. The couple fans feel so out of place here (whispering).] [The person above is about to be secretly killed by me!] The annual “Most Wanted Marriage Partner” ranking comes out. Once universally hated, the flop Ji Ziyi tops the list with twice as many votes as the runner-up. Film emperor Fu Li immediately posts a photo of their wedding rings and one of Ji Ziyi kissing his cheek. Heh. My husband. No coveting. The little one shows off a fierce little iron fist (a teeny-tiny one). My Mommy! Don’t even think about taking him!
