Joining the dating show with the icy idol, I avoid him at all costs, fearing to interfere with his CP with the hot rising star. But to my surprise, the online community reacts in the opposite way. After our segment airs, the hot rising star and the idol are criticized for being "chemically manufactured." My "avoidance CP" with the idol quickly gains traction and becomes popular all over social media. Viewers comment: "They dodge each other but their eyes linger! If they're not real, then I'm fake!"
I'm a female star who's been criticized endlessly, known for building up CP (couple pairing) with male leads for fame.
Clearly, I have a stunning face that catches attention, but I'm often cast in roles as a delicate and innocent flower by the company's orders.
Every time, I'm bombarded with criticism from the online community, feeling like I'm being targeted unfairly.
While filming, I'm even pulled into CP setups by the male lead's team, who then act like they're the ones being victimized.
They scold me, but it's him who gains fame.
Seeing my reputation deteriorate day by day, my agent decisively arranged for me to appear on a livestream dating show.
Using my mocked background, I'm positioned as the backdrop for Liễu Vi Vi, the adorable rising star.
But a few days before shooting, there's sudden news that the idol Tống Xuyên wants to join this recording session too.
Back in school, I used to be a bit arrogant, relying on my senior status to do some things... hm, contentious issues with his younger brother, the new idol.
I really shouldn't see him again.
But luckily, the director has already prepared the opening music segment.
To put it plainly, this dating show is aimed at serving as a CP setup for Tống Xuyên and the hot new star Liễu Vi Vi.
Everything else is just background.
In other words, Tống Xuyên and I don't need any interaction at all.
The only thing to do is to play the supporting role well, not to stand out, just to make room for him and Liễu Vi Vi.
No different than going on a trip.
I'm quite happy actually, isn't this still making money without much effort?
On the day of shooting, Liễu Vi Vi is meticulously made up, wearing a white dress.
As soon as she enters the set, the comment section erupts.
"This is why my Tống family lowered their dignity to participate in a dating show. She's like a moonbeam stepping out of a book."
"Sister Vi Vi is so beautiful, the goddess in a white dress descending to earth."
I follow closely behind, my face plain, wearing shorts and a loose shirt, lazily greeting the camera.
The attitude in the comments suddenly changes.
"Why is she here again? So unlucky. Following behind little Vi to steal the spotlight."
"Yeah, what's she wearing? Is she an old lady going sightseeing?"
"Insufferable! Get rid of Trần Khanh Khanh already."
Ah, I don't bother to compete with them at all.
That's a different price.
Before Tống Xuyên appears, I always seriously play my supporting role, watching the handsome guys and beautiful girls vie for attention.
After Tống Xuyên arrives, I immediately move away from the screen, no longer bothering to be a backdrop.
Avoiding conflict is my specialty.
Tống Xuyên is the most prominent figure among us, he's been living a quiet life away from the limelight for years, rarely participating in game shows.
I heard he even initially declined when the director invited him.
After that, I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind.
The icy idol lowering his human value to participate in a dating show immediately sparked intense debate online.
People speculate fervently that he's here because of Liễu Vi Vi.
After all, when Liễu Vi Vi debuted, it was rumored that she was in junior high and high school with Tống Xuyên.
There are even rumors that Liễu Vi Vi is the long-lost love of Tống Xuyên, who has been single until now just to look back at her.
In our circle, the higher your status, the more power you have.
As Tống Xuyên steps onto the stage, everyone rushes forward to greet him, excitedly introducing themselves.
When the screen switches to me, I'm still standing there, wondering if the watermelon seed in front of me is a prop or not.
The comments start buzzing again.
"She's pretending to be noble, huh? Ignoring my Tống like that! Sacrificing for fame, shameless."
"Even so, why am I suddenly admiring her beauty? Naturally beautiful face, both stunning and smooth."
"Sisters, are you crazy? You think this Tran Khanh Khanh is pretty? Who knows what evil thoughts she's hiding inside."
Liễu Vi Vi conveniently sits next to Tống Xuyên.
They're wearing matching outfits, looking like a perfectly coordinated couple.
The comments flood in again with "Perfect match" and "Meant to be," like a sudden storm.
I'm standing off to the side, biting a watermelon seed, silently watching Tống Xuyên.
After so many years, he's even more handsome than before, his allure reaching its peak.
But he seems colder and more distant, not as charming as before.
The comments keep coming: "The Xuyên Vi couple in the same frame is already so romantic, so sweet."
Liễu Vi Vi ties her hair casually, even a smile from her can set off another round of fervent comments.
"Little Vi has such an aura, she's the only pure and genuine jasmine flower. What's that Trần Khanh Khanh doing here? Doesn't she feel any shame comparing herself to others?"
