Shi Nian had once publicly said there were no less than eight bodyguards guarding his sister. What a show of ostentation! Who would still have the cheek to call themselves a ‘Lady’ before Shi Xiu?

Yun Liu never expected to be humiliated like this when she went out to buy clothes. Moreover, she didn’t expect that—before she could vent her anger— she would meet Shi Xiu again on a variety show.

Yun Liu had only lowered herself to participate in the variety show in respect of Tan Ning. She had seen the show’s script. The program would be filming a group of eight young people—four men and four women—living in a

picturesque small town for two months, immersively experiencing life in the countryside. The show aimed to advocate the concept of the “Slow Life” and the main theme of rural development. None of the participants could bring their assistants or nannies along; they had to rely on themselves.

There were many similar variety shows in the country so it wasn’t easy for the show to stand out. Therefore, the main focus of this show was whether a group of pampered youths could adapt to the self-sufficient life in the countryside. For the participants, it was both a challenge and a good opportunity to increase their fanbase and popularity.

Among the eight people of this group, there were two new artistes; one of them was Yun Liu, and the other was still unknown. The group would also include two veteran actors, two established singers, and two non-entertainment members. As for who they were, that hadn’t been decided yet—perhaps for the sake of the show’s effect and to give the audience a sense of mystery.

Tan Ning told Yun Liu she had to build herself the image of a gentle, dignified, and understanding young lady. Although such a persona would restrict her acting career in the future, it was still a skill if she could perfectly portray a type of character! And it would be appropriate if she wanted to change her career path in a few years when she was older.

Yun Liu felt that Tan Ning’s words made sense and were exactly what she wanted. Therefore, she didn’t care who the other participants in this variety show were. It didn’t matter who they were; she just needed to do her part well.

The show started filming when Yun Liu was packing her luggage, and the cameras ‘inadvertently’ captured Yun Liu’s luxurious bedroom. “Yun Liu, your room is huge,” one of the production team members admired.

Yun Liu smiled and said, “My parents designed this room for me. We’ve had it renovated several times since I was a child. They always bring back all kinds of unique trinkets when they go on vacation or business trips, so—see—my room’s messy and crowded with their gifts.”

The camera swept across the entire room when Yun Liu expressed her ‘sweet troubles.’ From the extravagance shown, there was no need to introduce and describe Yun Liu’s family background; her family was clearly well- to-do.

Yun Liu wore cute loungewear as she ‘clumsily’ packed her luggage; she was the perfect image of a gentle, delicate, and adorable bourgeois. From time to time, she would call her mother and the housemaid over to help, revealing her identity as a wealthy young lady bit by bit.

After they got off the plane, the production crew filmed Yun Liu arduously dragging a few large suitcases. Yun Liu faced the camera and brightly smiled as she remarked, “This is the first time I’ve done such heavy lifting by myself. I didn’t expect it to be so tiring. Now I know how my little assistant feels. I have to take good care of her next time.” Yun Liu didn’t miss a chance to exhibit her kind nature. After all, who wouldn’t like such a sheltered and kind person?

When she finally managed to get into the car, Yun Liu was so tired that she sighed. A production crew member accompanying her asked, “Miss Yun, our show is about authenticity. Are you truly prepared for the hardships ahead?”

Yun Liu pouted. “You’re still asking me that after I’ve come all this way? Have I not been sincere enough?”

She took a breather and continued, “Actually, I’m really looking forward to this show. Usually, my parents and brother take such good care of me that I don’t have to worry about anything. I had everything handed to me on a plate, so much so that I couldn’t wait to suffer. Do you think I’m a little masochistic?” So saying, she laughed. Her straightforward manner made the production team members laugh along with her.

‘Such a character would definitely be liked and envied by the audience. I’ll easily be the star of the show,’ was Yun Liu’s self-congratulatory thought.

When they reached the residence, they found six of the participants had already arrived. Among them were two highly respected actors in their fifties— a man and a woman. The male was Si Kun—he was the idol of countless girls during his youth—and the female was a winner of many awards, Mai Fen.

Yun Liu respectfully bowed and greeted them, “I’ve seen many of your works and especially admire you two. You’re my idols!”

Mai Fen chuckled and told Si Kun, “Oh my, such a beautiful girl is sure to have a boundless future!”

There were also two washed-up singers. The male was Xiao Zhao—he was a rock musician in his youth. The female was a singer who’d left the music scene a few years ago because of the negative news about her marriage. This was her first appearance in public after many years. Her name was Yan Tang..
