Xu Qingnan was a ruthless, actions-speak-louder-than-words Beta whose absolute favorite thing in the world was money.
He had been dragged into a dating reality show to save the day by his cousin, who worked as a coordinator.
“The other participants are absolute elites among men, and they aren’t into Betas anyway. Don’t worry, Cousin, we’re just here to coast and collect our paychecks.”
Xu Qingnan didn’t even bother to lift an eyelid.
Cousin: “There’s a paycheck.”
Xu Qingnan: “Deal.”
Island of Hearts was a newly launched holographic amateur dating reality show. All personal information was strictly concealed, and the recording locations switched randomly, fulfilling the wonderful dream of enjoying adventures no, falling in love comfortably from home!
Although they were supposedly amateurs, the lineup announced so far included:
The founder of a renowned fashion brand;
The crown prince of a veteran entertainment agency;
The CEO of an up-and-coming tech company;
A three-time consecutive world championship boxer;
A genius writer whose books were notoriously difficult to secure;
And one completely unknown illustrator.
Audience: That last guy is definitely just here to make up numbers, right?!
Xu Qingnan: Mm.
Xu Qingnan had already mapped out his strategy: Be the chef during dinner gatherings, speak as little as possible during group activities, and use exhaustion as an excuse to escape when offline meetups happened.
Take the money and walk away after a month.
Things, however, did not go as planned.
Acting as the chef resulted in acquiring a little tail who inexplicably babbled on about wanting to repay a favor; Group activities proved completely useless, with a single bug sending grown men scrambling onto Xu Qingnan’s back in sheer terror; The moment the word “tired” left his mouth during an offline meetup, all five of them chimed in unison: “Then I’ll take you home.”
Xu Qingnan: “Thanks, I’m wide awake now.”
Seeing the situation spiral out of control, the final day finally arrived, and his identity as the sole Beta was publicly exposed.
Xu Qingnan finally heaved a sigh of relief. Surely these elite Alphas and Omegas would give up now, right?
Once again, things did not go as planned.
On the night of confessions, it was an extreme one-versus-five showdown.
