What Kind of Real Assassin Goes on a Variety Show?

*I'm an Assassin, So It's Only Natural for Me to Make It in Showbiz* Mu Yue made her living as a wandering martial artist. While attempting to assassinate Prince Jing, she was caught in a time-space swap and landed on a film set, where she splattered Shen Yuchuan, the actor playing the prince, with blood. When her face covering came off, everyone was in an uproar... Showbiz's latest scandal: A certain actress, whose acting skills were poor and reputation was rock-bottom, had just lost an endorsement and finally gone off the deep end. She'd sneaked onto a neighboring production's set in the middle of the night, wrecked the props, and tormented the male lead. Was she taking revenge on the director she'd worked with before? Her haters celebrated and spread the news: They couldn't wait to see Mu Yue crash and burn and leave showbiz for good. Mu Yue didn't quit. She joined a live-streamed escape-room variety show and was randomly paired with Shen Yuchuan, whom she'd nearly killed by mistake before. Her haters flooded the comments: She's back to tormenting my idol! I'm not watching if she's on the show! But Mu Yue breezed through the challenges, stealing keys with nimble hands, scaling walls and evading traps, and escaping the rooms in every imaginable way. The livestream shot to the top of the trending list. Comments: [What? Is this staged?] [Is this how you're supposed to play an escape room? Can someone stop her?] After the show, the host stirred the pot during an interview: "I heard you two had a bit of a grudge before. Is that true?" Mu Yue: "No way. I'm Teacher Shen's fan." First, he'd been stabbed on set. Then she'd nearly left him behind in the first escape room. Shen Yuchuan: ... He suspected this woman was a hater. Coming Soon Coming soon: Everyone Thinks I'm the Queen Bee of the Dating Show Su Ying transmigrated into a book, a dating-show romance, with a mission to win someone's heart. As soon as she arrived, the System went offline without telling her who she was supposed to pursue. What? Was she supposed to just wing it? When she reached the dating-show house, everyone looked like a potential target. She decided to spread the love around, stay friendly with all the contestants, and wait for the System to come back online. Lu Chengfeng, a domineering CEO's aloof and haughty supporting male character, was still single. His grandfather had forced him to join the dating show. The moment he stepped into the house, a strange voice rang in his head: [Host, greet Lu Chengfeng within one minute or you will be punished with an electric shock.] Hah. What kind of stupid trick was this? A minute later, he was on the floor, twitching, while Su Ying and the other contestants chatted and laughed nearby. Su Ying was the one doing the tasks, but Lu Chengfeng was the one being punished. The System had bound itself to the wrong person and had no idea, so it kept issuing tasks. [Invite Lu Chengfeng for a walk within five minutes or you will suffer a heart attack.] Su Ying went to the rooftop to have a heart-to-heart with Male Contestant Number Three. [Send Lu Chengfeng a love message or you will be unable to breathe for one minute.] After much deliberation, Su Ying decided to send one to Female Contestant Number One. In the post-show interview, the producer asked Lu Chengfeng what he thought of Su Ying. He scoffed. "Hah, I'm not interested in queen bees." The next day, Lu Chengfeng received a new task: [Find a way to get Lu Chengfeng to invite you on a date alone, or you might drop dead on the spot.] He immediately grabbed Male Contestant Number Three, who was holding Su Ying's name tag. "Let's settle this one-on-one. I'm choosing Su Ying too." Host, audience, and other contestants: . Tsk. A man who talks tough... Cover artist: WUREN64 Theme: Live well and take pride in your work
