Name: Showbiz Begins with Yang Mi’s 500 Compensation and Escape Room
Author: Xu the Wannabe Writer

Synopsis

(Variety-show escape-room start; older man-younger woman romance; lighthearted comedy; films and music as support)

(No posturing or face-slapping, mostly everyday interactions on variety shows)

“Great Escape (Yang Mi), Go Fighting! (Dilraba), Ace vs Ace, and Who’s the Murderer”

Xu Jingtian joined the company in 2019 at a particularly awkward time. The company was in turmoil, and the negative news surrounding Big Mi Mi’s broken marriage and Dilraba’s Water Queen scandal had everyone at the company watching them. As a result, nobody paid any attention to him, the brand-new nobody who had just joined.

After a month of being ignored, he came to terms with himself. The huge gap between reality and his ideals made him need a night of heavy drinking to calm down and think things through. That was when he met Big Mi Mi, who had the same idea.

And so his life of getting pushed into the lead began. When the two of them woke up the next day and their senses returned, Big Mi Mi had no idea what expression to put on.

So she could only pull out 500 yuan, hoping to bluff her way through. “I’ll make it up to you,” she said, then fled.

An hour later, at the company, she saw him avoiding her gaze and concentrating so hard on the floor that he could practically dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Big Mi Mi got a call inviting her to join the variety show Great Escape. They said she could bring two people along.

For some reason, the formidable Boss Yang decided this was a chance to make it up to him. The next second, the two of them were in the city where Great Escape was filming.

Later, at a charity dinner, he met Dilraba. His gentle presence soothed her low spirits. The two met again on Go Fighting!, and their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds. The only downside was that he got pushed into the lead again.
