[Marriage Before Love + Livestream Love Triangle + Mutual Secret Crushes + Feel-Good Showbiz]
When a romance reality show launches its "forced marriage" mode, the whole internet goes wild.
Top-tier star Jiang Lin draws Lin You, the screenwriter he had a crush on in high school. He signs a "fake marriage" contract, but crumples it after she says, "It's just for the show." The cameras catch him secretly keeping her photo late at night, and the comments explode: #TopTierStar'sPublicImageComesCrashingDown!
The production team stirs up trouble with 24-hour livestreams:
They're alone together in the bathroom, and his Adam's apple bobs in the mist. They feed each other strawberries blindfolded, and the instant he bites her fingertip, it shoots to the top of the trending topics. The crew makes a surprise room check, and she finds the initials "LY" tattooed on his back...
The viewers spam the comments: "Kiss her!" A million comments trigger a forced kissing scene. Jiang Lin pulls Lin You close by the nape of her neck and says, "Clause 14 of the contract: when we kiss, we have to make it real."
The second couple is even more chaotic.
Film emperor Zhou Ziqian teams up with pretty-boy idol Xu Xia to change his image, but loses control and kisses her when she sobs, "The whole internet calls me useless." "I'll teach you how to win Best Actress myself."
When haters expose her embarrassing history of chasing after him, he reveals his secret fan account: "I've been planning this for a long time."
[Highlights]
◆ Jiang Lin desperately racks up points to keep Lin You around, but in the elimination round, he tears up the contract and kisses her in front of everyone: "I'll pay the penalty. I'm keeping you."
◆ When Xu Xia is threatened by the industry bigwigs and told to quit the show, Zhou Ziqian publicly reveals her pregnancy test: "She's the mother of my child. You don't get to bully her."
◆ On the final livestream night, the two couples join forces to expose the show's shady dealings. Jiang Lin replaces the contract with a marriage certificate: "Now, please call me Lin You's husband."
"It's all just for the show" was a scheme from the start.
