The trending topic "Abandoned His Wife and Child" stayed at the top of the charts for a whole day, with major apps bombarding users with push notifications. Zhong Xiyi, once a hugely popular and respected actor, had been canceled!
Normally, everyone avoids a celebrity whose career has imploded like his. But one production team wasn't afraid of the risk, and offered him a job.
As soon as he saw what the job involved, he understood why they'd invited him.
"So they think getting put through hell counts as appearing on a show?" Watching him suffer would probably make his haters ecstatic.
His agent gave him a disdainful look. "Do you think you can still pick and choose jobs in your current situation?"
Zhong Xiyi shrugged.
A few days later, on a deserted island.
Some people were starving and wailing for their moms and dads, while others... washed their hands and made soup.
The wind howled. Some people wet their pants in fear, while others... slept like babies.
Wild beasts appeared. Some people got a layer of skin peeled off, while others...
"Cut!"
Production team: That's a protected animal!
Zhong Xiyi silently let go of the unidentified animal in his hands, thinking this would probably keep the haters going for a while. But then he remembered that his career had already imploded. What was there to worry about?
Haters: Wasn't the show supposed to specifically put canceled celebrities through hell? Why does it feel like the production team is the one getting tormented?
Trending topic: #NanchengCracksDownOnMajorCriminalSyndicate#, Hero Who Went Undercover for Three Years Finally Reunites with His Family.
Bystander A: So moving, but why does the hero's face look so familiar?
Bystander B: Wait, doesn't the hero's fiancée look a lot like the girlfriend that celebrity who got canceled supposedly abandoned?
Everyone suddenly understood: So Zhong Xiyi had kept quiet all along to protect his family.
Fan turned hater turned fan: We were wrong, bro. The only people you ever loved were all of us.
Ning Chen immediately objected and clarified: No, I'm the only one he ever loved.
Zhong Xiyi replied with a heart.
Fans: Sob, how did he get canceled again?
A laid-back superstar x a scheming producer. They appear on the same show.
