Chapter 1

Liu Yansong really enjoyed the show "If You Are the One," but he had never thought that one day he would become a male contestant on this matchmaking program.

When he walked out of the elevator, he was excited. The studio was bustling with people, beautiful music played, and the colorful lights flickered on and off. The audience cheered, screamed, and clapped to the music. At that moment, Liu Yansong almost felt as if he were the only star on the stage, and all the audience were cheering for him.

Approaching the host Han Fei, Liu Yansong brought the microphone close to his mouth and smiled, "Hello everyone, hello to the three hosts. I am Liu Yansong, thirty years old, from Taoyuan, Xiangnan."

Han Fei said, "Hello, welcome, Liu Yansong. This male contestant comes from the Muhuanyang website." As he spoke, Han Fei took a tablet from the assistant and handed it to Liu Yansong, "Come, choose your heart's desire."

Liu Yansong took the tablet with both hands, and with a smile, he looked at the stage. He saw the twenty-four beautiful female contestants lined up like a scenic view, which made him feel as if his eyes were dazzled.

Liu Yansong believed in fate, feeling as if there was an invisible thread guiding him. He participated in "If You Are the One" with the sincere hope of finding his destiny on this stage.

He retracted his gaze and looked down at the tablet in his hand. This time, he was not here for a specific person. Therefore, he did not need to consider who to choose as his heart's desire. So, Liu Yansong lightly pressed the "fate" button and confirmed his choice.

The screen flickered a few times and finally settled on number thirteen. Liu Yansong was slightly taken aback. According to fortune-telling, thirteen was not a lucky number. He couldn't help but look up at the thirteenth female contestant, Qiu Linmu.

She was a beautiful woman with a very high nose. According to physiognomy, a woman with a straight, high nose, a full nasal bridge, and plump nostrils often exudes a noble aura and has the potential to be a lady of high status. Even if such a woman has little education, she can still achieve success due to her innate confidence and competence. Supporting her husband and helping him succeed is what a woman with a prominent nose would do, making her husband feel both pampered and protected.

Qiu Linmu's eyebrows further captivated Liu Yansong. Her eyebrows had a large curve and formed an arc, extending from the inner corner of her eye to the back of the outer corner. Qiu Linmu's eyebrows were truly rare, known as willow leaf eyebrows. Generally, women with willow leaf eyebrows are extremely kind and gentle.

Liu Yansong was well-versed in physiognomy and knew that women with such eyebrows were rare. He never expected that by pressing the "fate" button, he would meet such a woman. "What a charming lady! How can I get her attention?" Liu Yansong thought to himself. Han Fei had already taken the tablet from him and handed it to the assistant, "Alright, let's see what the twenty-four women think of the male contestant."

As Han Fei spoke, a countdown began, and the twenty-four beautiful female contestants all curiously examined Liu Yansong. After ten seconds, the audience erupted in applause and cheers. All the lights on the stage remained bright, indicating that Liu Yansong had successfully taken the first crucial step in his matchmaking journey.

Han Fei nodded and smiled, looking up at the big screen, "Alright, let's watch the first short video."

The big screen flickered, and Liu Yansong's image appeared. "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yansong, and I am thirty years old. I am a stock analyst, responsible for helping clients achieve reasonable wealth growth. I am a calm and introverted person. I enjoy studying physiognomy and have found that I can apply the principles of physiognomy to stock analysis. Investing in stocks is not as effective as directly investing in clients. If a client has a noble aura, I will recommend stocks to them and also buy the same stocks myself. I believe that following a person with a noble aura will lead to fewer detours in life. I am here on 'If You Are the One' with a determined mindset. As long as there is a female contestant who leaves a light on for me, I will definitely take her hand!"

As soon as the video ended, the audience became noisy. The female contestants on stage and the audience began to discuss Liu Yansong, looking at him with surprise. The first female contestant, Lan Miaoguo, raised her hand and called out, "Hello, male contestant, over here."

Liu Yansong turned to look at Lan Miaoguo. She said, "Male contestant, I think you are very opportunistic. But do you really believe in physiognomy?"

Liu Yansong replied, "Whether it works or not, you have to try to know."

Lan Miaoguo said, "Sorry, you are not my type." She then pressed the button to turn off her light.

Liu Yansong didn't pay much attention. He believed in fate, and since he had chosen Qiu Linmu, he believed he would have a chance to confess if he could make it to the end. The fifth female contestant, Kang Hongxiu, raised her hand, "Hello, male contestant, don't you think your behavior is very superstitious?"

Liu Yansong replied, "Whether it is superstitious or not, it is something passed down by our ancestors. I believe that if it has been passed down to today, there must be some reason for it."

Kang Hongxiu said, "But the issue is that we are not here to debate. I didn't see any of your strengths in your VCR. Sorry!" As she spoke, she turned off her light. Almost simultaneously, four more female contestants turned off their lights.

Liu Yansong shrugged indifferently. He turned to see that Qiu Linmu seemed hesitant and silently prayed that she wouldn't turn off her light. The nineteenth female contestant, Zuo Shichun, raised her hand and asked, "Male contestant, what are your hobbies? Do you use physiognomy to deceive girls?"

Zuo Shichun's question made Liu Yansong pause. He had never considered that a female contestant would ask such a detailed question. After some thought, he waved his hand and said, "Of course not. Physiognomy is a matter of belief. It is just a pastime for me."

Zuo Shichun sneered, "Male contestant, you are lying."

Liu Yansong naturally wouldn't admit it and firmly shook his head, "No, that is my sincere belief."

Zuo Shichun chuckled but didn't pursue the issue further. Liu Yansong felt a bit relieved, but Zuo Shichun still turned off her light. With the addition of Zuo Shichun, three more lights were turned off. In total, nine female contestants had turned off their lights. Although Liu Yansong had come for Qiu Linmu, this situation still made him nervous, and he looked to Han Fei for help.

Han Fei pointed at Liu Yansong and sighed, "You are indeed not very honest."

Liu Yansong was confused and didn't know where he had gone wrong. He looked puzzled. The thirteenth female contestant, Qiu Linmu, raised her hand and said, "Male contestant, hello. Let me tell you where you went wrong."

Looking at his heart's desire, Liu Yansong quickly composed himself and said solemnly, "Hello, female contestant, please tell me."

Qiu Linmu said, "In your VCR, you mentioned that you would buy stocks based on the noble aura of your clients. But just now, you said it was just a pastime. I think your statements are inconsistent, and there is indeed an element of dishonesty."

Liu Yansong suddenly realized his mistake, but it was too late. After Qiu Linmu spoke, she also turned off her light. One after another, six more female contestants turned off their lights. Liu Yansong's face turned ashen. He felt he had made a huge mistake. With Qiu Linmu turning off her light, his presence on the stage had no meaning.

However, what Liu Yansong didn't expect was that the twenty-fourth female contestant, Wan Guoyi, raised her hand and said, "I think the male contestant's behavior is not just dishonest. We all know that we come to this stage to find true love. But the male contestant's behavior is simply outrageous!"

With that, Wan Guoyi turned off her light without even listening to Liu Yansong's explanation. Liu Yansong felt bitter. He was just not good at expressing himself, and the female contestants didn't need to take it so seriously. "I think everyone has misunderstood me. I didn't mean to lie. I do consider studying physiognomy a pastime. Besides, although I have looked at the physiognomy of some female colleagues, I have never deceived them!"

As Liu Yansong spoke, two more female contestants turned off their lights. The eighth female contestant raised her hand and said, "Male contestant, I think it's better if you don't explain. Your explanations just make it harder for us to know what to believe. Sorry!" As she spoke, she turned off her light and remained silent.

Looking at the four remaining female contestants on stage, Liu Yansong felt like crying. He nodded dejectedly, "Alright, I won't explain anymore. You can think whatever you want."

The twenty-first female contestant, Chang Duosu, looked displeased and raised her hand, "Male contestant, this is a stage for you to fully express yourself. How can you let others control you? Don't you have even a bit of decisiveness? If you don't explain, how can we know if we misunderstood you? I think it's over. You are not my type."
