Getting Close to the Gorgeous Girls on a Drama-Filled Variety Show

[The story next door, One-Click Check on the Mental State of the Substitute Novel's Heroine, is now underway. It's a hilarious comedy, with its blurb below.] Lychee TV has a famous drama-filled reality show called The Daily Lives of the Sisters. Each season, it invites a group of beautiful, scandal-plagued troublemakers from the entertainment industry to live together in a villa for a month. Fu Hua is notorious in the industry for being difficult. She buys her way into productions, throws her weight around, and beats up assistant directors. Aside from her pretty face and wealthy background, she has nothing going for her. Just as expected, she gets invited to the third season of The Daily Lives of the Sisters. The other three are an arrogant, rude female rapper, a haughty food blogger whose career has gone off the rails, and a veteran film queen who thinks far too highly of herself because of her status. With four troublemakers gathered under one roof, onlookers tune in to the livestream every day, waiting for them to start tearing into each other. At mealtime, the food blogger makes it clear she will only cook for herself. The tension instantly skyrockets, and viewers hold their breath. Fu Hua crunches on the dried fruit she brought, then blinks her big, doe-like eyes. "But before coming here, I watched your videos over and over. I've really wanted to try your cooking. It looks so delicious." The food blogger freezes, then turns her head away in a huff. "Just this once." When it's time to assign bedrooms, the production team deliberately sets them up by preparing only three rooms. Fu Hua volunteers to sleep on the sofa, but that night she hugs her pillow and knocks on the film queen's door, gazing at her pitifully. "Sis, there's thunder outside. Can I sleep with you?" The film queen looks at her big, watery eyes and finally gives in. "Just for tonight." The female rapper is suffering from stomach pain late at night when someone knocks at her door. Fu Hua stands outside with stomach medicine and warm water, her brows knitted together. "You didn't come down for dinner earlier, and I was worried about you. I have some medicine here." The socially anxious rapper looks away and quietly says thank you. The viewers wait day after day, and more than half the season goes by without a single blowup. No matter how hard the production team tries to manufacture conflict, Fu Hua always manages to turn hostility into harmony. Viewers/production team: Come on, fight already! Fu Hua: Wait for me, sis. Come cuddle! Eventually, they realize that watching beautiful women cuddle is pretty nice too. * Fu Hua always has all sorts of handmade snacks on hand. When people ask about them, she smiles, her eyes curving. "My baby made them for me." Her suitcase is neatly organized, with every kind of medicine packed. When people praise her, she blinks. "My baby packed it for me." Everyone grows curious about this baby of hers and guesses it's a close female friend. Then one day, the production team asks the guests to invite friends to the villa. The rumored business tycoon appears there in a formal suit. Fu Hua's eyes light up as she runs over and clings to him. "Baby, I missed you so much!" P.S.: 1. No real-life inspirations. 2.

Blurb for One-Click Check on the Mental State of the Substitute Novel's Heroine: Ji Chuhe transmigrates into the heroine of an old-fashioned angsty substitute romance. The male lead can't forget his first love, who went abroad, so he finds a heroine who resembles her and uses her as a substitute. Since it's an angst novel, the heroine has to endure public humiliation at the hands of the male lead's friends, having his mother throw money in her face, and being targeted and framed by his first love after she returns. After suffering both physical and emotional torment, she dies by accident, leaving the male lead to remember her for the rest of his life. Ji Chuhe: What? I'm the only one getting tortured in this angst novel? She's not having it. Ji Chuhe goes off the rails. The male lead takes her to a gathering with his friends, and one of them gets drunk and humiliates her in front of everyone. "This one's not as good as your ex." Ji Chuhe strides over and slaps his friend. "A couple drinks in, and you're acting like you're king of the world." Then she turns and slaps the male lead, who has been silently letting it happen. "Keep your mouth shut, and who knows if you'll live or die." The male lead's mother throws down five million yuan and sneers. "Leave my son. A girl like you isn't good enough for him." Ji Chuhe picks up the check. "I'm not good enough for him? I'm more than good enough. I'm good enough for heaven and earth, good enough to be honored in the imperial ancestral temple. I'll take the money as compensation for the mental anguish of having to be with him." The first love returns from abroad with a child, and the male lead's family of three joins forces. The child pretends to be naive. "This auntie is so ugly." Ji Chuhe: "You're uglier. You're so ugly you can see the edge of the world." The first love scolds her in shock. "How can you pick on a child?" Ji Chuhe: "You're ugly too." The male lead frowns and steps forward. Ji Chuhe slaps him again. "What, are you upset because I didn't insult you? Don't fight over it. All three of you are equally ugly." After losing her manners, Ji Chuhe feels much better. When someone throws mud at me, I slap them right back. * The real young master of the Xie family in Nancheng has been found. They say he grew up in the countryside and has a bad temper. His troublesome father favors the adopted son and sternly rebukes him. "Your younger brother has been spoiled since childhood. You need to be more tolerant of him." Xie Li looks impatient. "Oh, I was so busy lecturing him, I almost forgot you, old man." On the first day of a variety show, the fake young master follows him around in designer clothes, trying to make him look bad by comparison. "My older brother has lived in the countryside for years and isn't very worldly. Please don't mind him." Xie Li keeps his hands in his pockets. "You've been as idle as a little turtle stuck in a salt barrel. If you've got nothing to do, go shovel the village latrine instead of following me around." The other guests see this and disapprovingly rebuke him. "You're family. How can you talk badly about him to his face?" Xie Li: "Who says we're family? I won't just say it to his face. If you can't hear me, I'll carve it on a tombstone for you to read." Xie Li attacks everyone without distinction, until one day he runs into Ji Chuhe, who foils his undercover mission. Xie Li: "You can study if you're uneducated, and you can get plastic surgery if you're ugly. But there's no cure for being rotten inside." Ji Chuhe fishes two coins out of her pocket and hands them to him. "Anyone who points out my faults to my face will receive a great reward." Xie Li: ...I've met my match. 1.
