Born of the Same Root

Ning Xingrui is the hottest top-tier star in the entertainment industry, a famously aloof male idol.

But in his variety show debut, he became a completely different person...

A popular young actor cooked a pot of noodles, and everyone enthusiastically dug in, taking huge mouthfuls.

Ning Xingrui sneered. "Are you an idiot? You can't even tell light soy sauce from dark soy sauce, and you expect people to eat this pot of black sludge?"

Netizens: "...??"

The young actor's carefully cultivated master-chef persona shattered on the spot.

The nation's first love burst into tears, blaming herself for being unable to lift a bucket of water. The other male guests rushed to help, soothing her gently.

Ning Xingrui wore the expression of someone staring at a phone on the subway. "Could you all use one of those hundreds of pairs of eyes to check whether there's any water in the bucket? Or are you hoping she'll cry enough to fill it?"

Netizens: "You're still the most savage!"

The first love's fake facade was ripped off on the spot.

Local guide Ning Zhuozhuo led the guests along an untraveled trail to explore the mountains. Ning Xingchen suddenly tripped on some wild grass and twisted her ankle.

Netizens: "It's over, it's over!"

The other guests had all been roasted before. "Waiting for the top-tier star to speak..."

Who knew he would turn his gaze and sneer? "Put away those conniving little schemes. She's my sister! My actual sister!!"

Reader's Guide:
