Are You Really Here to Make a Variety Show?

Li You was tricked into returning to the country by his older brother because the family business was on the verge of going under. Sitting in his brother's office, he stared at the variety show proposal in front of him: "Let's Open a Farmhouse Inn Together" and fell into deep thought. Then he looked at the guest lineup. If he remembered correctly, it included one washed-up Best Actor, one washed-up Best Actress, one washed-up kung fu superstar, one performer who had fallen out of favor because of too many scandals, one fresh-faced young actor who was mocked by everyone when he debuted... Li You was completely baffled. What was this all about? Had his brother been turned by a rival into a saboteur bent on bankrupting the family? His brother leaned close and whispered, "Haven't you noticed they all have one thing in common?" Li You: "They've all been famous before?" His brother: "They're cheap!" Li You: "..." Suddenly, someone pushed open the door. Li You's expression darkened. "This one is cheap too?" His brother grinned even wider. "This one doesn't cost a thing." Li You looked at the person standing in the doorway, supposedly the most valuable entertainer in showbiz, and almost shouted, "Even if he paid me, I wouldn't want him on the show." His brother looked utterly confused. "Why?" Because he was Li You's ex-boyfriend. Li You: I'm putting it on the record right now: this show is never happening. Later, netizens: Hahahaha, they're fighting! They're fighting... This is so much fun. People never know what they're missing until they try it. A top celebrity gradually showing his true colors, claiming to join the show but actually coming to win back his ex, paired with an award-winning variety show producer who's deeply annoyed with this bunch but can't tarnish his own gold-standard brand Here's a preview of my upcoming story, "I Heard I'm Yours." You can add it to your collection from my author page At the celebration banquet, everyone else was busy looking for someone to flirt with. Lin Qiao sat among a group of actresses, drinking and chatting about gossip. "Have you heard the latest gossip about Bai Shaoning?" After confirming with his ears that this was gossip he'd never heard before, Lin Qiao immediately perked up. "What? What is it?" "Apparently, he's got a sugar daddy too." "Really? Seriously?" Lin Qiao grew excited. He loved these kinds of ambiguous little showbiz rumors. Especially when the rumor was about Bai Shaoning. What kind of business tycoon would have the means to get Bai Shaoning to keep him? People outside the industry didn't know, but Lin Qiao knew full well. In public, Bai Shaoning was a Best Actor. Behind the scenes, he was also an investor in a film company, with an incredible eye for investments. Several of the top ten domestic box-office films had his backing. To keep him, you'd need to be not only rich, but incredibly, incredibly rich. As they were talking, someone suddenly appeared beside them, staring at them coldly. Before Lin Qiao could react, he heard a chilly voice say, "Sugar daddy." "Sugar daddy?" Lin Qiao looked confused. The actress beside him: ... (Did I just stumble onto some real gossip???) Lin Qiao: Who has spare money to keep someone else? Don't mess with me! Bai Shaoning: How do you know I want to mess with you?
