Is Reality TV Scripted?

A sharp-tongued superstar who goes all out versus an actress who never backs down from a challenge.

Blurb 1:

Online, people say that if Hysteria Feng and Popeye Su ever cross paths, not even ten strong men could pull them apart.

No one knows that at midnight, Cinderella Feng will quietly step onto the balcony, climb out the window, and sneak into Prince Charming Su's room.

Blurb 2:

Feng Hong, the King of Pop, made his variety-show debut. After just two episodes aired, his overly sharp-tongued remarks toward fellow entertainer Su Zheng stirred up complaints from some viewers.

Viewer: "He has no gentlemanly manners at all!"

Fans, managing the comments: "Reality shows are scripted these days! The production team set my brother up!"

Feng Hong: "Heh. What's a script?"

A month later.

Feng Hong sneaked over to the director. "Director, I came up with this interaction for the guests. You know what I mean."

He gave the director a knowing look.

Director: "..."

The director flipped through the dozens of pages he'd handed over.

"Members of the same team can increase the chance of triggering crime-solving clues through intimate interactions!"

"Intimate interactions can include acting cute, hugging, kissing, and being lifted up high~"

"Add some scary moments to the investigation so the female partner will throw herself into the male partner's arms."

The variety show is a series of mystery-solving episodes. The author has no logic, so if you spot any mistakes... please put down the brick in your hand.

Bonus scene:

Ever since Su Zheng debuted, she's been neither popular nor obscure. Whenever she has a new project, the online reaction is always:

"Oh! It aired? Oh! It's over already? Oh! What was it about?"

But after she joined this variety show, she became an overnight sensation.

Netizens flooded her Weibo comments, shouting angrily:

"Su Su! Go for it! Roast him! Roast him until he's utterly crushed, humiliated, and pale as a ghost!!"

Su Zheng read the comments and spoke to the man lying on her lap watching TV.

"They want me to roast you."

Feng Hong looked up at her, then sat up.

"Turn off the lights. Let's go back to the bedroom."

Hey, that's not the kind of roasting they meant! You've got the wrong idea!
