Sui Yuan grew up without parents, among a troupe of acrobat brothers who traveled the land performing.
During a chest-breaking performance, her sternum snapped and she died.
When she wakes up again, Sui Yuan has become a newly famous starlet on a dating reality show.
The starlet is naturally frail and gets winded after just a few steps.
This time, to stir up some drama, the production platform has the five female contestants showcase their talents at the start of the show, after which the seven male contestants draw lots to choose their partners.
First female contestant: I'll play you a piece on the pipa.
Second female contestant: I just made this braised pork.
Third female contestant: I once won a swimming championship.
Fourth female contestant: Who dares to compete with me in physics?
When it's Sui Yuan's turn, she slowly makes her way forward. After thinking for a long time, she can only ask in a small voice, "Can I break a brick with my bare hands?"
After choosing their partners, Sui Yuan discovers that she's been paired with a double-crowned Best Actor. Too excited to contain herself, she asks, "Master, why did you choose me?"
The double-crowned Best Actor glances at her and says, "You look like the person least likely to be rumored to be dating me."
Sui Yuan: ...Fair enough.
First episode recording: Desert island survival.
While the other couples are still figuring out how to start a fire and cook, Sui Yuan has already stormed the production crew's base and made off with two boxes of their instant noodles.
Second episode recording: Survive the escape room.
While the other couples are still looking for the exit, Sui Yuan has already walked out of the escape room, after kicking down its door.
Third episode recording: Escape from the haunted house.
While the other couples are clinging to each other, Sui Yuan carries the Best Actor downstairs and even breaks the arm of a staff member playing a ghost.
Everyone: Is this the delicate little flower who can't even take care of herself?
Production crew: Please pay for the damages.
The Best Actor, who has been kept behind her and served as background scenery the whole time: After working hard for over a decade, I've finally experienced what it means to win by doing nothing!
