A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

【Prerequisites】

[A must-visit spot for handsome men and beautiful women!]

[This book features a single female lead who will frequently appear on variety shows. Currently, there's a "Running Man" reunion, followed by a reunion of the original cast members, plus the original "Go Fighting!", as well as shows like "Wife's Romantic Travel," "Dad, Where Are We Going?", "Back to Field," "Let's Go Now," "Singer," "Divas Hit the Road," and a series of other variety shows. Later, she'll transition into directing. I'll write about all the variety shows you want to see in this book. Just one more thing: it's a parallel world, so don't take the timeline too seriously. Enough chit-chat, let's begin!]

The summer sun shines brightly on Z Mountain in Zhejiang Province.

The sea surface shimmered.

A yacht is rocking with the waves.

Chen Ye, with his hair in a messy, almost tangled mess, slumped on a deck chair.

He was wearing a ripped, faded tank top and a pair of blue flip-flops that cost a dozen yuan.

He had half a cigarette butt dangling from his mouth.

He was clutching a sea fishing rod tightly in his hand.

Damn it.

Chen Ye looked down at the empty bucket.

For three whole hours, not only did they fail to catch a fish, but they didn't even catch a single strand of seaweed.

With his disheveled appearance, looking like he could fight the beggars for territory under a bridge at any moment, if paparazzi took a picture of him and posted it online, he'd probably be all over Weibo's trending topics.

After all, just two or three years ago, Chen Ye was the most handsome man in the Chinese entertainment industry, a top-tier talent.

Chen Ye sighed.

Actually, he wasn't originally from this world.

Four years ago, he was still a miserable corporate slave on Earth.

That day, he was on a business trip by plane, and he was thinking with his eyes closed about how to ask his boss for a raise.

A large truck suddenly fell from the sky.

Yes, large trucks.

In the stratosphere.

At an altitude of over 10,000 meters, a heavy truck, the same model as Optimus Prime, pierced through the clouds and crashed into the airplane cabin at a speed of 100 meters per second.

All of the more than one hundred people on board were unharmed, not even a scratch.

He was the only one who was accurately shot in the head by a large truck and died on the spot.

And the plane landed safely without any problems!

What kind of hellish and outrageous way to die is this?

If Newton knew this, he'd be so angry he'd lift the lid of his coffin and break into a street dance.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become Chen Ye in this parallel world.

This world is ridiculously good; prices are low and welfare is great.

The only sector that's underperforming is the cultural and entertainment industry.

There are virtually none of the world's most beloved classic films and television shows, or legendary pop songs, here.

This is equivalent to throwing a fully-equipped, max-level character into a beginner village where there are only slimes.

Even more outrageous is that his cousin is none other than Chen He, a well-known comedian in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Relying on this connection, along with the memory bank of his past life that he had in his mind, Chen Ye plunged headlong into the entertainment industry.

A hit song in one hand, a divine song in the other.

They went on a killing spree.

Chen Ye, who is extremely popular, spends his days navigating the treacherous waters of beautiful female celebrities on various film sets and variety shows.

He's a womanizer who never gets tangled in a flower garden, and not a single petal has ever stuck with him. There's never even been any confirmed rumors about him.

Until a certain variety show.

He met the girl group singer and dancer who had just returned from South Korea.

Song Yuqi.

Blonde hair, big eyes, husky voice.

He has curly hair like a little lion, and his eyes crinkle when he smiles.

Chen Ye was completely captivated.

The warriors of pure love launch their charge.

At the peak of his personal popularity, when his solo fans were at their most enthusiastic.

Chen Ye posted a message on Weibo using his main account.

No caption.

There's just one photo of him kissing Song Yuqi on the street.

The entire internet exploded.

That was truly spectacular.

The two of them turned their respective social media platforms into a veritable WeChat Moments, filled with records of each other.

The breakup was also clear and straightforward.

There were no mistresses, no infidelity, and no cheating.

It was simply a matter of two people having conflicting career paths, leading to a peaceful breakup.

After breaking up, Song Yuqi didn't date again. Instead, she focused all her energy on her career and continued to be a top star in her girl group.

Chen Ye announced his temporary retirement from the entertainment industry and began a period of inactivity.

Outsiders assumed he was heartbroken and hiding in a corner licking his wounds.

God's hell, I'm heartbroken.

Chen Ye spat Hua Zi aside and rolled his eyes.

A gambling father, an alcoholic mother, a sick sister, and a broken Chen Ye?

nonexistent.

There is only one real reason why he lay down.

He copied all the great songs from Earth that he could remember.

Inventory cleared.

If they don't run away soon, they'll be exposed.

Buzz!

The phone next to the recliner suddenly started vibrating wildly, as if it had gone mad.

The shrill sound of the bell shattered the tranquility of the sea.

Chen Ye glanced at the screen.

Caller ID: The Three Idiots of the Chinese Entertainment Industry and Their Fathers.

The group name may be shameless, but the three people in the group are genuine big names in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Deng Chao, Lu Han, and cousin Chen He.

Press the answer button, and the video call will connect instantly.

The screen was cut into three small pieces.

Chen He's signature large face was right in front of the camera, his smile so wide you could see his back teeth.

"Hey bro! Where are you begging for food?! Hahahaha!"

The maniacal laughter made Chen Ye's eardrums ache.

"Shut up." Chen Ye rubbed his ears. "I'm fishing at Z Mountain. What's wrong? If you have something to say, speak up. If not, leave."

In the bottom left corner of the screen, Deng Chao, with messy hair, is holding a thermos and suppressing a wicked smile.

"Ono, but this time you really can't hide it anymore, you're famous again!"

Lu Han, who was getting her hair and makeup done, was smiling and speaking in the bottom right corner of the screen.

"Xiao Ye, go check Weibo and Douyin. You've really bought a house on the trending topics list this time. No, you've built a villa."

"What happened?"

Chen He was pounding the table on the other side of the screen, laughing so hard he was gasping for breath.

"Don't ask! Go see for yourself! Hahahaha! What an absolutely beautiful love story!"

Snapped.

Chen Ye abruptly cut off the video.

I casually opened Douyin.

A second later, the smile on his lips, which was even harder to suppress than an AK, completely froze.

The number one trending topic on Douyin: I only realized Chen Ye's authority belatedly.

Second: Chen Ye and Song Yuqi are top-tier BEs.

Third: Chen Ye, the perfect boyfriend.

Fourth: Chen Ye, come out and greet the guests.

Fifth: Women who can't break up, and men who can't leave.

The top five trending topics were all dominated by his and Song Yuqi's names.

Click on the first trending topic.

What comes into view is a video from a marketing account with millions of followers.

The background music was extremely sad, as if Chen Ye was about to be buried tomorrow.

In the video, the voice of the marketing blogger was full of passion and regret.

"Family members, I hereby declare that Chen Ye, besides Lu Han, is the most courageous man in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!"

Chen Ye's lips twitched.

The video then cut to a blurry screenshot from an old outdoor reality show.

"Back then, the incredibly talented Chen Ye appeared on Running Man to promote his new song and happened to run into Song Yuqi, who had just returned to China and was a regular cast member on Running Man."

"They fell in love at first sight!"

"At the peak of his popularity and the frenzy of his solo fans, Chen Ye decisively went public with their relationship!"

The screen displayed a screenshot showing a dramatic drop in followers.

"He started losing followers in droves, just like Lu Han! But he didn't care!"

"He and Song Yuqi started openly showing their affection! Look at their Weibo posts! Look at their Douyin (TikTok) chat! Every single one is shaped like a love symbol!"

The marketing accounts grew louder and louder, and the barrage of comments was dense and numerous.

"Waaaaah, pure love, God of War!"

"Dead memories suddenly attacked me!"

"That's a real man!"

The video continued playing, and the background music switched to Chen Ye's hit song "The Two of Us" from back then.

"During his relationship, the talented Chen Ye was bursting with inspiration! He created countless hit sweet songs!"

"We Two," "With You," and he even specially created a song for Song Yuqi to release in Korean, "The Woman Who Can't Break Up, the Man Who Can't Leave," which swept the top spot on the Korean music charts!"

"What kind of fairytale romance is this? Isn't this a million times better than those scumbag boyfriends whose relationships collapse these days?"

"The two were deeply in love for a year and a half! For some unknown reason, they suddenly broke up! And then they publicly announced it again!"

The scene then cut to a segment of Song Yuqi's later interview on a TV program.

The reporter asked Chen Ye a tricky question.

Song Yuqi smiled radiantly and openly defended her ex-boyfriend.

The scene then cut to Chen Ye.

That was when Song Yuqi was deeply embroiled in a public opinion storm.

On the screen, Chen Ye wore sunglasses and spoke to the camera in a calm yet arrogant tone.

"I know her best, it's none of your business to spout nonsense."

The barrage of comments instantly reached a fever pitch.

"Aaaaaah, kill me to liven things up for my brother and sister-in-law!"

"He's still protecting his ex even after we broke up! I'm so heartbroken!"

Please, let's get back together!

Chen Ye stared at the screen, his face a picture of utter naiveté.

It's a real shame that these netizens, with their vivid imaginations, aren't taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

He only lost his temper because those paparazzi scratched his car door.

Moreover, Song Yuqi defended him, so it's reasonable for him to defend him too!

The background music on the marketing account suddenly became incredibly desolate, switching to a sad song.

"After the breakup, Chen Ye transformed overnight into a prince of heartbreaking love songs!"

"Mercury," "Flush," and one after another, heartbreaking anthems are released! Every lyric is dripping with blood!"

"He disappeared from public view for a whole month!"

"He reappeared when he was photographed drinking heavily late at night with Lu Han, Chen He, and Deng Chao! A completely drunk Chen Ye was seen crying in the street!"

What exactly constitutes a tragic ending in the entertainment industry?

"This is the ultimate in BE aesthetics!"

"Chen Ye hasn't appeared in the public eye for two years now, and some people may have forgotten him, but his longtime fans will always remember that there was once such a sincere love story in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

This concludes the video.

Chen Ye was stunned.

Chen Ye lowered his head.

Chen Yehongwen.

God the hell is crying his eyes out!

That night, it was clearly Chen He who insisted on dragging him to eat super spicy hot pot, which made him cry from the spiciness!

And the ultimate BE aesthetics?

He really has run out of songs!

It's not because I can't write songs due to heartbreak!

Chen Ye scratched his bird's nest-like hair in frustration.

Are all netizens these days a little sick?

I just wanted to live a quiet life as a retired cadre, so why was I dragged out and whipped again?

He switched back to WeChat and dialed the group video call again.

The three faces reappeared on the screen simultaneously.

"Finished watching? Hahahaha!" Chen He was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight, tears welling up in his eyes.

"The ultimate ex-boyfriend! The epitome of tragic ending aesthetics! Bro, you're now the pure love god in the hearts of countless girls across the internet!"

Lu Han was also trying hard to suppress her laughter.

"Yezi, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're really good at creating buzz. Now the internet is full of people calling for your comeback."

Deng Chao agreed while drinking water.

"Xiao Ye, listen to Chao Ge, come out for a walk."

Forget about leaving.

Chen Ye cursed irritably.

"Screw you all, I'm not doing this. Let whoever wants to make a comeback do it, I'm going to go back to fishing. Bye!"

"Hey, hey, don't hang up!" Chen He said anxiously, quickly becoming serious.

"Seriously, bro, you're really not planning to come back? This wave of popularity is like a windfall. Just do a variety show appearance and you'll be a top star comeback."

"I'm not answering, I'm tired, lying down is more comfortable."

Chen Ye's answer was concise and to the point.

For someone without any resources, going into the entertainment industry is just asking for trouble.

"You lazy bum!" Chen He said, exasperated. "Fine, whatever you want. But bro, Yuqi came back to China a couple of days ago. If you two are trending on social media at the same time, a TV show might invite you both. Be prepared."

Upon hearing Song Yuqi's name, Chen Ye paused for half a second.

He and Song Yuqi had indeed not been in contact for two years.

It's not that I don't want to contact you.

It's really unnecessary.

I've run into them a few times before, but we've only exchanged greetings.

"Okay, I won't go no matter who invites me, even if they offer me a mountain of gold. You guys chat, I'm going to pack up my line."

Chen Ye pressed the hang-up button without hesitation.

The world is finally peaceful.

He stretched lazily, the sea breeze making him feel sticky.

【Ding! 】

A cold, emotionless, mechanical voice exploded in his mind without warning.
