You guys wouldn’t have taken my casual acting seriously, right

New summary:

Before the dating variety show started, among all the female guests only the least-experienced Shen Fu was mocked online: “Whether it’s Film Emperor Wen Zhenghan or whoever, no one would want to get involved with some vase-tier eighteenth-line like her.”

After the show started, netizens beat their chests, held their heads, wailing.

Aaaaaaaa what the h*ll is this!!

All! of! them! are! simps!!!

Old summary:

“Shen Fu is nothing more than someone else’s shadow.” Not only was this what the industry said, even Film Emperor Wen Zhenghan himself thought so.

So when Shen Fu proposed breaking up, the man flicked his cigarette ash, his always-indifferent face showing no ripples: “Since you’re a stand-in, then have the self-awareness of a stand-in, don’t play that ‘push-and-pull hard-to-get’ set. When you figure it out and come back, I won’t give you a second chance.”

She didn’t come back for an entire month.

Until they ended up on the same dating show.

“Film Emperor, Miss Shen she…”

Wen Zhenghan flicked ash, cold laugh: “What, she finally knows to come back?”

“No, not only did she not return, but the investigation revealed that, besides acting as a stand-in in front of you, she was juggling multiple roles at the same time and had successfully won over both a billionaire top celebrity and a hugely popular idol.”

“The top streamer and idol are the two male guests living next door to you.”

Before the dating show started, among the female guests only the least-experienced Shen Fu was mocked online: “Whether it’s Film Emperor Wen Zhenghan or whoever, no one would want to get involved with some vase eighteenth-line like her.”

Who knew that after the program began, the Film Emperor’s gaze toward Shen Fu became dark and unreadable, the top streamer’s silent gaze toward her was a hidden undercurrent, and the popular idol’s eyes toward her were full of things left unsaid.

Male Guests A/B/C (Film Emperor / Top Streamer / Idol) repeatedly entered asura field. Kitchen, living room, garden tour bus all becoming their smoke-filled battlegrounds.

Every one of them seemed to have some unspeakable secret past with Shen Fu.

Netizens: ???

As for the handsome and wealthy CEO of a listed corporation, Male Guest D, name Jiang Shu, surely he can’t also have feelings for Shen Fu?!

Netizens quickly dug up that Shen Fu and the Jiang family’s eldest young master had once had a connection.

When she was young, she stayed for a while at the Jiang household, an old family friend of the Shen family, yet was kicked out by that famously cold, abstinent eldest young master.

Black fans went all-in mocking that someone like Jiang Shu, a heaven’s favored child, would definitely look down on a female star from humble origins like Shen Fu.

However, one day in a show segment, Jiang Shu accidentally drank red wine thinking it was sparkling water, and besides the clip of him being a one-cup-down lightweight going viral, another thing leaked: a human-early-era “pursuing-wife” video.

“Back in school she only gave me one hundred yuan pocket money a week—” his handsome face showed distress: “I’m at least the Jiang family’s eldest young master, isn’t this intentionally making me lose face?”

Bullet comments surged with excitement: Young Master Jiang publicly disses Shen Fu! Now Shen Fu will be embarrassed!

His friend nodded in agreement: “Yeah that really won’t do, if it were me I’d also kick Shen Fu out—”

But before the friend finished speaking, Jiang Shu grabbed his collar: “Can you f***ing speak human words? Back then she suddenly ran away because you stirred up trouble between us right?!”

Friend: …

Netizens: …

Friend calmly: “Actually I think—”

“I also think so.” The eldest young master’s handsome face suddenly flushed red, he plopped back onto the sofa, melancholy: “Back then— (censored) could it be that she actually didn’t hate me that much?”

Friend: ? I didn’t even say anything yet!

Netizens scratching heads: ??? What the h*ll is in that censored bit? What is it that we, the esteemed VIP users, can’t hear?!

Rewatching earlier episodes, they found that when Shen Fu greeted others, the eldest young master wearing sunglasses dragged his luggage to forcefully insert himself.

When Shen Fu talked to others, the eldest young master’s hand washing dishes tightened slightly.

When another male guest showed off the birthday present Shen Fu gave him, the eldest young master had green-tea lines: “What a coincidence, from age fifteen to eighteen I also received them, seems like each one was bigger than yours.”

Those who thought they came to watch childhood sweethearts break apart raised torches overnight.

Those who came to watch Shen Fu get scolded by the entire internet fell into despair, fleeing this heartbreaking world overnight.

The real shippers: f***ing h*ll, stinky couple, go get your marriage certificate.

——

【Female lead POV:】

To exchange for her parents’ lives, Shen Fu bound the “Love With” system. After competing the missions for the four specified targets, she could retrieve 100% of their lifeforce.

Jiang Shu was the fourth.

Before going on the show, Shen Fu went dark before her eyes: the other three being exes was one thing, but why is Jiang Shu also here? We’ve been mutually annoyed with each other since youth, the more we look, the more we dislike. Him liking me is absolutely impossible, this difficulty is h*ll-level!

System old-man-style smoking: woman, living isn’t that easy.

After the program ended, the human-early-era “pursuing-wife” video was sent to Shen Fu.

Shen Fu looked toward the door of the neighbor who had always lived next door to her but never once showed his face: hmm?

The neighbor’s door opened, four eyes met, the eldest young master’s ears flushed, he immediately tripped left foot over right foot back inside, long fingers almost clawing the door panel to pieces.

System: ?

Is living… maybe a bit too easy?

A one-sentence summary: I was acting, yet they shed blood for me.

Theme: love and hope.
