Playing the Foil on a Reunion Variety Show

*Pirated versions may differ from the original plot. Please support the official version.* Ye Hantao grew up in an old residential complex. Her dad worked in sales, her mom was an accountant, and her older brother managed an internet cafe. They were an ordinary, unremarkable family, until a middle school classmate invited her to join a classmate variety show. That night, Ye Hantao discovered she was living inside a book. Her middle school classmate was the protagonist, while she was the foil, and she had only six months left to live. [As a qualified foil, you are vain and greedy, constantly lie, and are jealous and competitive. Stay in character until the story ends, and I will restore your health and pay you 10 million.] Ye Hantao: “!!!” During filming, the protagonist accidentally snapped Ye Hantao’s wooden bead bracelet. Pointing at the bracelet her mom had bought wholesale from a discount store, Ye Hantao lied guiltily: “This bracelet was blessed at a temple. It’s worth at least... 100 yuan!” Just as her fans were about to start tearing into her, an international supermodel exclaimed in dismay, “Real agarwood bracelets cost tens of thousands per gram!” Ye Hantao: “?” The fans: “??” Later, her older brother came to the production crew to bring Ye Hantao something. She hurriedly put on a jealous act. “Big bro, we both play computer games, but he’s already starting on the main roster at twenty!” The esports superstar she was supposedly jealous of looked horrified. “B-Boss?!” Netizens: Is that the former mid-lane demon king, now the ruthless coach and boss?! Ye Hantao stared at her brother in confusion. His expression remained bland. “I have an ordinary-looking face.” Netizens: “???” / Ye Hantao had been sickly and accident-prone since birth. An old Taoist priest said that she couldn’t withstand the attention that came with the family’s illustrious reputation, so the whole family had to pretend to be ordinary, overworked office drones. When they learned Ye Hantao would be joining her classmates on a variety show, the whole family went on high alert, terrified that the show’s marriage prospect, who had once been briefly engaged to Taotao because of his unusually robust constitution, would recognize her and expose her true identity. When they saw him give Taotao the cold shoulder, they were both angry and relieved. But before long, he was getting up at dawn to cook rice porridge and fry egg pancakes for Ye Hantao. The Ye family: “!!!” You’re way too famous! Stay away from Taotao! Reader’s Guide 1. The blurb was saved in January 2023 and revised in May 2023. Screenshots have been kept. 2.

Please add it to your reading list! Yun Ying lived in a village visited by a group of immortals flying on swords. At their head was a man dressed in white, as handsome and graceful as a tree. He was said to be her father. Beside him stood a young woman called Chao Lan. Ten years ago, her father had mistaken Chao Lan for the child he had with a mortal woman, based on a jade pendant, and doted on her wholeheartedly. When he found Yun Ying, he couldn’t bear to part with Chao Lan, so he simply told the two of them to live as sisters. On the night Yun Ying returned to the immortal sect, the System found her. [You should have been brought back to the immortal sect ten years ago, but Chao Lan stole your fortune. During those ten years, Chao Lan became a beloved little immortal through her kindness, generosity, and friendliness. Your own fate, meanwhile, was to give up a precious treasure, take the blame for a disaster, have your spirit platform stripped away by your immortal father, and die under the punishment of heavenly lightning.] [You must be kinder, more generous, and friendlier than Chao Lan to reclaim your fortune! You are crucial to the immortal sect in the war between immortals and demons!] After saying this, the System fell into a deep sleep. Yun Ying, who had just slipped out of the demon realm: “!” Then shouldn’t I do my best to ruin the immortal sect’s reputation? So Yun Ying first captured an exchange student from the demon realm and made them cook in her cave. Then she picked up a prodigy from an enemy faction and locked them in her courtyard to sweep the floors. Every so often, she got right in the Ghost King’s daughter’s face and taunted her. They said the immortal sect’s leading disciple was a paragon of virtue, with countless devotees among mortals, so Yun Ying went around causing trouble and framing him. After a while, rumors spread across the continent that the immortal sect’s leading disciple was deeply in love with Yun Ying and relentlessly pursuing her. Yun Ying: “...” He’s trying to kill me, AAAAARGH!!! - Chao Lan had once glimpsed the future in a magical mirror, so she used a clue from heaven’s secrets to find the jade pendant and impersonate the immortal’s daughter, entering the immortal sect. For ten years, Chao Lan fawned over the prodigies destined to become powerful figures, while coldly watching Yun Ying bully a bunch of good-for-nothings who were bound to die sooner or later. Later, when the half-demon, dismissed as a worthless good-for-nothing because of his impure blood, tempered the finest primal fire and transformed into an ancient Torch Dragon; when the fallen sword immortal, whose spirit platform had been damaged, cast the Dust-Cleansing Spell once more and shook the Nine Provinces with a single sword strike; when the Ghost Clan’s naturally useless young master seized the command banner and summoned the Ghost Army over the Sea of Netherworld Blood, Chao Lan and the others were shocked, but all assumed they would take revenge on Yun Ying. Instead, they shielded Yun Ying before the ranks of the overwhelming army and swore to wipe out the demon clan. Yun Ying: “...” The demons who nearly shouted “Young Master” in unison: “...” Theme: The bonds of family are precious
