Gossiping and Slacking Off on a Reality Show Full of Villains

Shen Baikai transmigrated into a novel about the entertainment industry as an insignificant passerby. When he arrived, a variety show was being filmed, and he was the ordinary civilian guest brought in to fill out the cast. The other guests all had prestigious backgrounds. They were confident and refined in speech and manner, and treated everyone with courtesy. Shen Baikai, meanwhile, looked half-dead on the outside, but in fact he had already mentally checked out. He flatly refused to interact with anyone. The viewers thought he was ungrateful, but they didn't know that Shen Baikai could hear other people's inner thoughts. On the first day of filming, a sweet, gentle girl greeted everyone with homemade cookies. She looked like a harmless little rabbit, and her sunny smile could lift anyone's spirits. Only Shen Baikai knew what she was really thinking: "What kind of shit show makes me get up at four in the morning to bake cookies? Kill, kill, kill. I want to kill all of you, then kill myself. No, I can't die yet. My savings could get me so many male models. I'll just have one on each arm!" Shen Baikai: What a lovely state of mind. Not sure yet, let's keep watching. · During a game, the guest star kept pretending to be weak and pitiful, falling in all sorts of ways over a dozen times in one round and making countless silly mistakes. The mild-mannered, courteous, three-time award-winning actor paired with him patiently stayed by his side throughout, and still found time to make snide remarks about Shen Baikai's lack of teamwork. Shen Baikai lowered his eyes. Everyone assumed he still couldn't hear praise or insults, preferring to shut himself off from the world. Only he knew that the mild-mannered actor had already said everything he wanted to say. "If you're sick, go see a vet. Your legs are so useless, and you still don't get them treated? Huh, your brain needs a checkup too. The water in Jingwei's attempt to fill the sea doesn't compare to the water in your head. Every day I ask myself three questions: Am I indulging people too much? Am I too easy to get along with? Am I too ethical?" Shen Baikai: You've said it all. What am I supposed to insult him with now? · The director suddenly got the idea to have all the guests meet their families for a heartwarming reunion. A model young man of a singer, devoted to his younger brother, broke down in tears on set. It was a touching scene of brotherly love, and even the gossip accounts called it proof that there was still true affection in the world. Shen Baikai's blank expression was harshly condemned as cold and heartless. He couldn't help it, though. The truth was so brutal that he even thought the singer might have a more successful career if he went into acting. The singer hugged his younger brother and started crying, while thinking, "Starting tomorrow, I'm changing my name. Shangguan Xuan is no more. Shangguan Nanbei is my real name, and you, my dear little brother, have to be called Sima Dongxi." Shen Baikai thought the singer was a ruthless schemer, but it turned out there was someone even better. The younger brother responded with deep feeling, but all he could think was, "Did I act convincingly enough this time? How much should I extort from my brother? That trick didn't work last time. Maybe I should take some more photos..." Shen Baikai didn't hesitate to escort the younger brother to the police station. He never expected to become a model citizen overnight, while the singer started looking for ways to slip him career opportunities without making it obvious. Shen Baikai: Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. That whole industry is too messy. I don't dare get involved. · As an insignificant passerby in the novel, Shen Baikai's greatest pleasure was watching the drama and enjoying the gossip on the variety show. But he never expected that, while he was busy enjoying the spectacle, he'd end up getting caught in it himself. His fame kept rising, and he was dragged halfway into the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, an overworked workaholic who had previously been obsessed with competing and striving gradually began to win himself over, hypnotize himself, and brainwash himself, insisting on clinging to Shen Baikai and never leaving. Theme: There is still genuine affection in this world
