--Blurb--

Five of the most hated celebrities in showbiz are bundled off to a rundown unfinished villa in the mountains to take part in a celebrity edition of "Metamorphosis."

The house is unfinished, the windows let in the wind, they can't afford food, and they can't stand one another.

Jiang Shi came to the show planning to leave the entertainment industry as soon as filming was over. The conditions on set were even worse than she'd imagined. The production team called it "a total villa makeover and a fresh start," but really, they were livestreaming five public enemies being exiled to live miserable lives for everyone's amusement.

For the first time, she could be herself without holding back on camera. She was quitting after this, so who cared about her reputation?

Unexpectedly, her wonderful just-about-to-quit state of mind brought together several people who had never fit in, and helped each of them turn their public image around.

Qian Zuo, before the show: A sexual harasser who'd end up in jail sooner or later. After the show: This is my handsome, capable, righteous big brother!

Fang Jibai, before the show: A rich second-generation celebrity who used his family's connections to steal opportunities. After the show: Our clever, elegant, delightfully smug second brother, with an unbelievably great attitude.

Lin Haoyue, before the show: A spoiled rich girl with a terrible temper who used money to steal roles. After the show: Our beautiful, lovable second sister, generous to a fault.

Luo Fan, before the show: A violent, gloomy, rude nepo baby with a frighteningly aggressive streak. After the show: Our big, kind-hearted little brother, whose IQ is anyone's guess.

Jiang Shi herself: She was just being herself, yet somehow seemed to have landed the role of everyone's favorite on the reality show.

A viewer's comment: A sensible mom, a capable dad, a smart brother, a pretty sister, and an annoying little brother. Whoever came up with putting these five together to renovate a villa is a genius.

Romance: A warm, sunny idol VS a cold, distant fan

At the start of the show, Qian Zuo looked aloof on the outside, but was screaming inside: My idol! So close! This is the peak of my life!

Jiang Shi wore a sweet smile on the outside, but thought: Annoying. He keeps staring at me without saying a word. He's intimidating.

The show begins with viewers judging the contestants unfairly, while the romance between Jiang Shi and Qian Zuo sprouts amid misunderstandings.

P.S. Every scandal will be explained. All the guests are good kids.

For a look at the gentle, everyday ups and downs of family life, tune in to the livestream from Room 2 of Golden Water Bridge~

[The Actress and the Dog Owner]

Blurb:

A flirtatious actress X a devoted, innocent golden retriever: A master at training men VS a real dog trainer

It was love at first sight for Jiang Jinjiu when they first met, while Lin Yuqing had carefully planned the encounter.

Lin Yuqing heard from a friend that the pet blogger she liked would be at a certain dinner party. She showed up looking gorgeous, then offered the woman sitting beside her a few words of advice about her romantic troubles. She successfully left Jiang Jinjiu with the impression that she was beautiful and an expert at playing on people's emotions.

They bumped into each other again at a shopping mall. Lin Yuqing introduced Jiang Jinjiu to her coworker: "This is my friend. He owns a dog."

Jiang Jinjiu laughed. "Is that how you introduce me when we're out?"

"I feel embarrassed saying it to your face," Lin Yuqing replied with a bright smile and a mischievous look. "When you're not around, I tell people you're my ideal type."

Jiang Jinjiu blushed despite himself.

A childhood friend chimed in: "What a coincidence! He introduces you the same way."

Lin Yuqing pretended not to believe it. "Really? I almost believed you."

Jiang Jinjiu predictably panicked. "Why don't you believe me?"

Faced with her curious, probing gaze, Jiang Jinjiu fled in a panic.

One little test was all it took to know how he felt.

She really was an expert at love. (Stereotype established.)

"Suisui Niannian," a sweet historical romance

Synopsis: A scheming little white rabbit VS an innocent big bad wolf

Qin Niansui is the prettiest but least favored illegitimate daughter in the Qin family. When her stepmother is about to marry her off to a greasy, wealthy merchant who already has eighteen concubines, she has nowhere else to turn. So she knocks on Gu Qing's door.

"Cousin, save me."

In the moonlight, Gu Qing's exquisite face was half in shadow, his expression unreadable.

Qin Niansui panicked. Her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and she pleaded earnestly: "I have nothing, but if you take me in, I'll love you, respect you, and admire you as if you were my husband."

Behind her utterly dependent gaze, she hid a little scheme: Being a prince's concubine would still be better than becoming a rich merchant's secondary wife.

Gu Qing was a good man. He often took in stray cats and dogs, and this time he took in a person.

That person said she'd love him.

Gu Qing didn't know how to love someone, but he could give her anything except love. Since he'd brought her home, he would take good care of her.

A scheming little white rabbit says she'll give him all her love, just to find somewhere to stay.

An innocent big bad wolf loves her without realizing it. He takes good care of her and grants her every wish, yet still feels guilty, regretting that he can't return her feelings.

Wake up, Prince! You've been in love with her for ages!

P.S. They aren't really cousins; the leads aren't related by blood. One-on-one romance, sweet from beginning to end.

Theme: Nothing is more glorious than honest labor
