Watching the Male Leads Vie to Outshine Each Other

As the center of a girl group who won the title of World's Most Beautiful Face as soon as she debuted, Bai Li is in a league of her own. Her teammates may be merely pretty, but her face is a work of art.

Unfortunately, that beauty also attracts a whole lot of bad romances.

Until one day, she transmigrates into a romance-variety-show novel.

System: Chances are, you'll first receive a subtle confession from the refined Founder of a world-class dance troupe, then a flashy declaration of love from the arrogant, unruly son of a movie star, and finally the persistent, unrequited love of an aloof musical prodigy and a shy, handsome esports idol.

Bai Li: I transmigrated into a book, and I still have to get trapped in a love rivalry because of this face? What is wrong with you!

So Bai Li walks into a private styling salon with astronomical membership fees and declares with righteous conviction, "Give me twenty freckles to start!"

A few hours later, Bai Li nods in satisfaction, wearing a pair of Harry Potter-style glasses and a head of perm curls that belong in a cautionary example.

There. I refuse to believe anyone could fall for me now!

And so, in the episodes that follow...

When she is supposed to be hounded by the media alongside the dance troupe's Founder, Bai Li casually goes out to pick up a food delivery.

When she is supposed to pose for a poster with the esports genius, Bai Li takes out her phone and quietly adds a few more freckles.

And when she is supposed to bask in the sunlight and smile, making everyone's heart skip a beat, Bai Li sprawls on the sofa and sleeps until her perm curls look like an exploding mushroom cloud.

Production team: I've never seen a female guest so completely clueless about romance!

Reality is nothing like the original story's pink, heart-fluttering plot. Bai Li breathes a sigh of relief, thinking she's successfully changed her fate, when the System, silent for a long while, suddenly comes online:

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have completed the task. The male leads' affection points collected: 4/4!"

Bai Li: ?

She looks at the Founder of the dance troupe, who is opening the car door for her. His peach-blossom eyes curve in a warm smile, but then his fingers lightly brush her wrist.

"Little Lychee, who gave you this jasmine bracelet?"

...Why do I have a feeling that if I answer, you guys are definitely going to fight?

For instance, after returning from a dinner she was invited to, she finds the movie star's son, who has apparently been waiting outside her home for ages, narrowing his eyes at the long coat draped over her shoulders.

"Tsk. You two go out for a fancy dinner and don't invite me, a lonely young man."

...He told me he invited you, but you were busy.

Or when the music artist with cool, phoenix-shaped eyes hears about a festival, he takes the opportunity to invite her.

"Want to go together in a few days?" The man keeps one hand on the steering wheel, acting casual. "I remember you said you wanted to see it."

...But so-and-so and so-and-so already invited me last week. What am I supposed to do?

Only belatedly does Bai Li realize that she seems to have... wandered right back onto the love-rivalry route.

She slowly walks down the stairs and sees the four men sitting around the dining table, each with an empty seat beside him. For a moment, the air feels full of hidden currents, open challenges, and concealed attacks.

At the start of the show, the audience doesn't take Bai Li seriously, and the male guests are also curious why the production team chose her.

Later, when the battle to steal their sister-in-law begins, fans on every side fight tooth and nail.

The male guests, consumed by jealousy as they compete with one another, are also in the love rivalry...
