Initially, netizens were most excited about Gu Jingchuan and Li Huanyu's inability to hide their affection.
Unexpectedly, the first breakout pair turned out to be Lin Mo and Shen Sizhan.
FictionalCharacterMyself: ["This girl is no saint—she could reel me in with just a finger hook."]
FootPeelInNoodles: ["With looks like theirs, I accepted this ship in 0 seconds!"]
Sister-in-law'sPlea: ["Who has Lin Mo’s TikTok?"]
BanlangenOverRice: ["@HeartlessWomanOnFridge, it’s been a while—how did your husband turn into a Black guy?"]
HeartlessWomanOnFridge: ["@BanlangenOverRice, YOUR husband!"]
The online buzz is electrifying, making this universally dreaded Monday slightly more bearable.
The live stream of "The No-Romance Cabin" has already surpassed 8 million viewers.
And then—
The director drops another bombshell.
—"Who? Am I hearing things? Did someone just say Xie Guanyan?"
—"Is it really Xie Guanyan? The self-made billionaire tycoon?"
—"Rumor has it he’s quite handsome."
—"This guy’s notoriously low-key—rarely seen in public. Why’s he joining a dating show?"
—"Fiction becoming reality—he’s definitely here for his girlfriend!"
—"Then it’s 120% Jiang Wan. She once posted on a burner account about liking him and asked netizens for advice on how to chase him. One commenter suggested a public confession, and she later blocked them. Talk about ungrateful!"
—"Not necessarily! Our Huanyu frequents high-society galas too. Maybe he’s here for her!"
—"Good point. Gu Jingchuan’s in danger!"
The name doesn’t just send shockwaves through the live chat—
The on-site reactions are equally stunned.
Gu Jingchuan’s expression darkens instantly.
Of course that freak Xie Guanyan wouldn’t let Lin Mo off the hook!
Since when does he do variety shows?
What a meddlesome pest!
Wait—no, he’s not the pest.
Xie Guanyan’s just here to get wrecked.
Li Huanyu has only seen Xie Guanyan once before, from afar at a gala.
Dressed in a white suit, his aura was unmatched.
She’d wanted to approach him with a drink but couldn’t even get close—
The crowd around him was too thick.
Her status wasn’t high enough for anyone to yield space.
She knew someone like him was beyond her reach, so she’d dismissed the thought.
But now, her heart races uncontrollably.
Jiang Wan once co-starred with her in a film as the supporting actress.
They’re on decent terms, though her fans love calling Jiang Wan a "nepo baby."
And it’s true—she is.
Jiang Wan’s crush on Xie Guanyan is an open secret, and Li Huanyu knows it too.
So… are they together now?
The show allows couples, but the director never said there’d only be one pair.
Why does Jiang Wan get everything?
Just because she was born into wealth? Her family bankrolls her acting gigs, and now she’s landed Xie Guanyan too?
Life’s so unfair!
Jiang Wan never expected Xie Guanyan to show up.
But with Lin Mo here, it’s hardly surprising.
The thought of the untouchable, always-composed Xie Guanyan getting exposed on this show is downright hilarious!
"HAHAHAHA!"
She can’t help but burst out laughing.
Li Huanyu watches Jiang Wan’s unrestrained glee, her eyes flashing with something darker.
—"Jiang Wan’s terrible at hiding her emotions!"
—"If my hot, loaded boyfriend chased me onto a show, I’d laugh even harder!"
—"@PreviousCommenter, you don’t have a boyfriend."
—"Damn, crossing lines! We’re just strangers online!"
Shen Sizhan remembers Xie Guanyan.
His sister’s high-school rival!
Back then, she’d stay up till dawn studying, terrified he’d outrank her.
It used to break his heart.
So when an entertainment company Xie Guanyan invested in tried to sign him as a rookie,
he refused without a second thought!
If his sister’s spirit saw him cozying up to her nemesis now, she’d be furious.
What’s a top-tier mogul like him doing on a variety show?
Not his problem, though. He couldn’t care less.
He’s only worried—will his sister feel bitter seeing her old rival’s success?
He turns to Lin Mo.
Sure enough, her face is tense.
Shen Sizhan frowns, fingers brushing the blue stud on his right ear.
What now?
Before he can strategize—
THUD! Another hammer strike.
He casually fixes his hair, then leans toward Lin Mo, whispering, "Sis, it’s fine. Sure, your rival’s rich and powerful now, but he’s also old. No need to feel bad."
Since her return, she’s surely heard about Xie Guanyan, even if they haven’t met.
Hearing Xie Guanyan’s name, Lin Mo freezes.
Why would he join a show?
He’s so private!
Did someone hold a gun to his head?
One possibility hits her—
Did he come… for her?
Her pulse skyrockets, fingers gripping the couch until her knuckles whiten.
This is too much happiness!
She’d thought she wouldn’t see him all week.
But then a silver-haired head leans in, murmuring.
Like a bucket of ice water dumped over her, Lin Mo snaps back to reality.
Her little brother is on this show.
She and Xie Guanyan must keep their distance.
If he has an episode here—
His career would be ruined!
That’s the last thing she wants.
Staring blankly ahead, she nearly cries. "I’m not upset."
—"What’s Shen Sizhan whispering to Lin Mo? Pay me 20k and I’ll lip-read!"
—"Shen Sizhan, step away from my wife!"
Xie Guanyan soon strides in.
Dressed in a tailored white suit, his long legs accentuated by the cut, diamond fragments adorn his collar. A gold-framed glasses rests on his high nose bridge—
Exuding elegance and intellect.
It’s already late morning.
Sunlight carpets the entrance like a red carpet.
His steps are unhurried, the tea-colored mole on his nose impossibly alluring.
"Hello everyone, I’m Xie Guanyan."
The beautiful man greets the room with a warm smile.
His voice is magnetic, like the strum of a finely tuned instrument.
—"I braced myself for handsome, but NOT THIS HANDSOME."
—"THE GLASSES??? I’M DECEASED."
—"Only someone like him could convince me to ditch my high-waisted cotton panties."
—"Jiang Wan, I don’t envy your wealth, your looks, but THIS MEAL? I’m sobbing."
—"Drool just fried my charger. Worth it."
—"Let’s be real—among these three men, Gu Jingchuan’s the weakest link."
The director is internally somersaulting.
Which ancestor blessed him to land Xie Guanyan on his show?
Though there’s one concern—
Will this untouchable titan even follow the rules?
—"LMAO no one’s keeping it together! Lin Mo’s stared at him for at least five seconds."
—"With a face like a 3D-rendered masterpiece, who could look away? I’d stare till my eyes bleed."
Each guest has a dedicated staff member monitoring them.
The black-clad man who had been watching Lin Mo was nearly dozing off.
But his eyes lit up in an instant, and he immediately rushed over, raising the pneumatic hammer to strike down.
Just then—
Two hands, coming from opposite directions, swiftly intercepted the hammer mid-air.
