Lin Sa opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into the body of an obscure young actress.
Lin Sa is a hardcore fan of outdoor variety shows.
She watches every episode of shows like Keep Running, Go Fighting!, and Who's the Murderer. Whenever a new episode comes out, she stays up late to finish it before going to bed.
It was staying up late for so long that killed her, and she transmigrated into the body of an obscure young actress.
The actress is a Gen Z girl who just made her debut after competing on an idol survival show.
She signed with a no-name agency, a company so small it barely qualifies as a company.
The boss and his sister-in-law have run off,
leaving only a few agents and signed performers to fend for themselves.
So the heroine is unemployed the moment she debuts, with no resources, connections, or family background.
Her agent's senior gave her a spot on a dating show.
With nothing to lose, her agent shoved her onto the show as cannon fodder.
Her assigned script called for her to play a bratty, fake-sweet white lotus.
But Lin Sa refuses to follow the formula or stick to a character. Through her own efforts, she transforms the dating show into Keep Running.
She takes advantage of the live format: once it's airing, they can't stop it.
At first, she matches wits with the production team and causes trouble in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.
The other guests are infected by her tough-guy social style and start going off-script too.
After several episodes show steadily rising ratings,
even the director eventually gives up and goes along with it.
A perfectly good dating show is completely transformed into Keep Running.
