Chapter 1: You Won’t Die If You Don’t Do It

Today, a certain social media platform became abuzz because of one of its sections: 

“Days to Look Forward To” officially announced the list of guests for the new season. One name on this list caused a huge stir!

Comments below:

[I heard that that little troublemaker Ye Yan is coming to this show?] 

[Can’t they find anyone to be in this show? An actress like Ye Yan, with such poor character, are they bringing her in just so we can vent our anger on her?] 

[Is this real?! With her temper, she’s bound to cause a scene on this show! Didn’t the “third party” scandal with her last month just pass? What kind of character play is this now? How can Ye Xiaosan do farm work? That delicate, spoiled brat trying to do farm work?!]

[Isn’t Ye Yan rumored to be some big shot’s illegitimate child? How can she still participate in this crappy variety show? It seems like her career is really over now… And then there’s that incident a few days ago, when she got involved in the scandal involving the movie actor and his mistress. How come she’s already acting recklessly again after such a short time?]

[No way!? Ye Yan still isn’t leaving the entertainment industry? Let’s get rid of this kind of pest from the entertainment world!]

[+99……]

……

And this controversial actress, who’s despised by everyone, claims that she’s actually the victim. 

Three days ago, Ye Yan won the final award in the film and television category on the podium, becoming the first actress to win all the awards in this category. Yet, on the very day she delivered her acceptance speech, she was secretly imprisoned by her ex-boyfriend. 

She was stabbed dozens of times, with each stab being so deep it reached the bone. She lost too much blood and died.

She still remembered that the last words she heard before dying were the man’s tender and affectionate words: “Yan Yan~ Since there’ll never be any space for me in your eyes, only others… then come with me to hell! This world is too dark… hell is too cold… Please be with me.” 

The man’s stubborn and insane eyes were bloodshot, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips. Dressed in a crisp suit, he resembled Satan in the night. Holding a knife that gleamed with a cold light, he resembled a devil from hell, determined to drag the delicate girl on the bed, who seemed like a creation of the Creator itself, down into the abyss!

Before Ye Yan could say her final words, her mouth was ruthlessly covered: “Shh~ Yan Yan, be good~ We’ll always be together!”

……

Then, Ye Yan lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she found herself trapped in a world of scandalous rumors. She had become a controversial celebrity who was hated by everyone. She was practically being criticized beyond measure. 

Whenever she thinks of that man’s voice now, her whole body trembles. 

And her agent, seeing how unusual Ye Yan was acting, felt sorry for her: “Dear, it’s okay… Don’t pay attention to those comments online. They’re just annoying.” 

“Huh? What?” Ye Yan clearly didn’t hear what the agent said next.

Agent: Oh no… My own artist is starting to act weird! 

“There’s nothing we can do… The contracts have already been signed, you know that! All the money in our accounts has been used to pay the penalties… You absolutely have to participate in this show.” 

After the agent kept nagging on, Ye Yan finally realized that her current situation wasn’t much better than her own. She had faced many problems related to being an illegitimate child before, while the original owner had to deal with numerous haters.

Ye Yan rubbed her forehead anxiously and said to her agent, “Show me that list of guests. Also, bring me the program planning details as well.” 

Just now, Ye Yan also briefly glanced at the original character’s life story. 

The child star debuted by playing the role of Xiao Lingrong and became popular. She received numerous advertising offers and was hailed as having a stunning appearance. She seemed to be “fed by heaven itself” and gained countless fans. However, due to her spoiled behavior, annoying attitudes, and various shady actions, she lost everyone’s respect and became someone everyone wanted to criticize.

Then, the final straw was the ‘mistress scandal’. This completely broke the original character’s spirit, and she died from alcohol poisoning in the middle of the night… 

How could the agent dare to be negligent? He quickly handed the documents to Ye Yan. 

After Ye Yan finished reading it, she saw her agent pull open the door of the limousine, as if to signal her to get out. “There’s nothing else to say… Remember, avoid any conflicts with others. Control your temper! Let’s meet again in two weeks.”

After saying that, the agent carelessly threw Ye Yan’s suitcase to the ground! 

The car sped away into the distance. 

Ye Yan inhaled exhaust fumes. 

Ye Yan: …… 

There’s no need to be so obvious in your disapproval. 

With a heavy heart, Ye Yan stood at the village entrance, pulling her heavy suitcase, feeling melancholic.

“Days to Look Forward To,” simply put, is a variety show created by Pineapple TV that promotes a slow-paced lifestyle. Several groups of guests are taken to a remote mountainous area, with the pretense that they can create the life they desire as they see fit. 

In plain terms, the audience’s enjoyment is built on the suffering of the guests. 

Ye Yan looked at the dilapidated village around her, then at the muddy, uneven ground.

Alright, to avoid paying the penalty, I guess I’ll just accept my fate!

She carried her suitcase, determined to make it across this muddy path in one go. 

Black fans:

[Here she is! Come and see how that little troublemaker Ye Yan acts recklessly again!] 

[What bad luck! As soon as I open it, I see Ye Yan’s disgusting face. So what if she’s pretty? Her character is terrible!] 

[Tsk, how pitiful. That spoiled brat’s down and out now, with no one to carry her luggage for her~ Let me tell you, with your behavior, you don’t even have any fans or supporters. What are you still doing in this industry at all?]

[Hahaha! I bet, given Ye Yan’s delicate nature, she’ll probably give up on recording once she sees the surroundings! Let’s wait and see!] 

What shocked all her haters the next moment was that Ye Yan didn’t stop filming in a fit of anger. 

Instead, she carried her seemingly extremely heavy suitcase, which was about 27 inches in size, with great determination. She walked with a confident stride, moving far ahead of everyone else.

Black fans: 

[！！！What the hell? With Ye Yan being such a delicate person, her delicate shoes got so dirty from stepping in mud. And yet, she didn’t even throw a fit?!]

 [Damn it! Stop talking! It’s definitely part of the script! I’m sure of it! Ye Yan is definitely acting! Just wait—over time, her true nature will surely be exposed!]

……

Before Ye Yan could even get to the designated place, she met the first guest. 

The young boy wore a distant, faint smile as he walked towards her slowly. 

“Hi, sister. You’re also a guest on this show, right?” 

The young man’s eyes sparkled with a delicate light, shining brilliantly in the sunlight. With a height of around 188 cm, along with his facial features and age, Ye Yan quickly matched him with the guest information. 

Chen Jinseng.

As the leader of the idol group SKY-9, he debuted at the top of the rankings with an overwhelming number of votes. His fan base grew rapidly, exceeding 10 million fans shortly after his debut. He’s truly one of the top idols in the male idol industry. 

Ye Yan pondered deeply. With so many fans, it’s better not to provoke them at all. 

Ye Yan moved slightly, taking some distance from Chen Jinseng.

 Chen Jinseng noticed every little move Ye Yan made. 

He felt that Ye Yan didn’t seem to be like what was described online at all; there were some discrepancies.

“Sis, isn’t that box quite heavy? Let me carry it for you.” 

Bullet Screen: 

[Damn it! You idiot Ye Yan, do you even deserve my Shengsheng to carry your luggage for you?!]

[Please! I’ll really thank you! Shengsheng, please don’t be so kind, okay?! You’re helping her with her luggage—be careful she tries to take advantage of you!!]

[Run away! Shengsheng, don’t get close to Ye Yan or you’ll suffer! You still call her ‘sister’?! Just call her a witch! She doesn’t deserve to be called ‘sister’ at all!!]

“No need! Really, no need at all!” 

Ye Yan didn’t want Chen Jinseng to think she was delicate, so she simply picked up the 27-inch suitcase with one hand and carried it on her shoulder!

Chen Jinseng:!!!! 

Carried on the shoulder…!! 

Then, bullet screens filled the screen with messages: 

Damn it! Damn it!

Have you ever seen someone who used to be so delicate and frail carry a huge suitcase on their shoulder with no effort at all? 

Have you ever seen a female celebrity who’s 166 cm tall carrying a suitcase that’s almost as tall as she is, walking with her head held high?? 

Come to the live broadcast of “Days to Look Forward To”! 

The little shrew Ye Yan is waiting for you! 

Then, that day’s trending searches were completely dominated by Ye Yan’s posts.
