Make Him My Concubine

[Little Si Invincible: It's still related to that archrival of mine.]

[Little Si Invincible: Basically, my friend helped me sign a contract with a new company. If I go to work there, my archrival will be my immediate supervisor.]

[Little Si Invincible: I'll be bullied to death. [sob][sob]]

[V: That's easy.]

[V: Getting hired is hard, but isn't quitting easy? No company keeps freeloaders around. Just think of a way to get the company to fire you.]

Si Di's eyes lit up.

That was right!

He just had to slack off as hard as he could and get eliminated in the first round!

Overjoyed, Si Di eagerly called Wu Biao. The moment the call connected, he said brightly, "Biao, you don't need to find me a tutor anymore. It's just singing and dancing. This young master can teach himself."

The producers of Limited Idol were taking a risk as well.

Everyone in the industry knew Si Di was Qin Wei's archenemy. Inviting him onto the show could very well offend Qin Wei and get the program cursed bloody by Qin Wei's fans.

But at the same time, Si Di was an excellent marketing tool.

Controversy meant traffic.

After Si Di signed the contract, the production team immediately made a Weibo post on its official account.

[Limited Idol V: Welcome @Si Di to our Limited Idol family. The future holds infinite possibilities, and we wish 4D a bright future! (Also, we hope the contestant who was unable to participate due to a fracture recovers soon.) [heart][heart]]

As soon as the official account posted, opinions exploded.

[What? What the hell is the production team doing?]

[You're making our brother Qin Wei share a stage with a hater? Is there something wrong with the production team's brains? [confused][confused]]

[If there's no insider deal here, I'll read Yuan Yuan's name backward!]

[Si Di isn't just a hater anymore. I now seriously suspect he has violent tendencies. You're putting him on the same show as my husband—will the production team take responsibility if something happens?]

[4D loves yanking hair. If handsome Qin Wei gets his head plucked bald, we'll be enemies for life!]

Having fans really was nice.

Just for their devotion, Si Di promised that the next time they fought, he would not pull the hair on top of Qin Wei's head.

He would pull out a circle around it and leave the top untouched.

The image was too beautiful. Just imagining Qin Wei with only a tuft of hair left on top of his head made Si Di laugh so hard he nearly cramped up.

After two days of fans cursing him out, the show officially began airing on Saturday.

Talent shows over the past two years had constantly been accused of rigging things behind the scenes. Every fanbase complained about unfair screentime distribution, an age-old problem that never changed.

To silence the criticism, the production team began livestreaming the entire process.

The competition format was: initial stage → theme song evaluation → first performance → second performance → third performance → mentor collaboration stage → finale.

One hundred and one contestants rode the winds and waves as they set sail together.

Ordinarily, the lower-ranked contestants would only be eliminated after the first performance. But in order to spur the contestants on, the production team had specially created a "Chosen One."

Chosen One: the contestant with the worst initial stage performance would be eliminated immediately.

That was honestly a little humiliating.

They would have just appeared on the show without even moving into the Limited Idol dorms, only to carry their luggage straight back home exactly as they had brought it.

The other contestants burned incense and prayed to Buddha, begging not to become that unlucky bastard.

4D: Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary! Send me home! Ball ball you!

By the time the car reached the recording base, Qin Wei's fans had already surrounded the place several layers deep.

To cheer for their beloved brother, someone had specially made an exceptionally long, wide, eye-catching banner. On the red background, black letters read: 4D, Chosen One. One-day talent show tour. The Bodyguard Squad wishes you a smooth journey home in advance.

Bodyguard Squad was the name of Qin Wei's fan club.

The several-meter-long banner was densely covered in signatures.

If this were ancient times, it would absolutely have been a petition signed by ten thousand people!

Si Di had Wu Biao stop the car, rolled down the window, and took a selfie with his back to the banner. Then he posted it on Weibo.

[Si Di V: Same world, same dream. [smile][smile]]

[Pfft, hahahaha, 4D, what are you doing?]

[I can't quite figure this out. Is Si Di being sarcastic, or does he really want to leave?]

[Wake up, person above. If Si Di had the patience for sarcasm, he wouldn't have cursed Movie Emperor Qin right in front of the media when he had just debuted. Don't worry, this kid is single-minded and straightforward. He never beats around the bush. He really does mean he wants to be eliminated early.]

[Are you perhaps a little too familiar with 4D, sister above?]

[A true fan? Someone, there's a remnant of an evil cult here! Drag her out!]

Before Si Di finished reading, Wu Biao had already driven into the base.

A few scattered contestants nearby were pulling their suitcases past them.

Wu Biao got out and took the suitcase from the trunk. In an earnest tone, he said, "Didi, whether we spend the rest of our lives eating gourmet food and living in luxury or having instant noodles three times a day depends on how you perform this time. I won't say anything else. Think it over yourself."

Si Di pondered seriously for a few seconds.

Instant noodles it was.

Eating gourmet food every day was too monotonous. Instant noodles offered so many more choices.

Braised beef noodles for breakfast, shrimp and fish cake noodles for lunch, chopped pepper pork rib noodles for dinner.

Then tomato, dried bamboo shoot, and pork rib noodles for a late-night snack.

Perfect!

Si Di took the suitcase and followed the roadside signs toward the recording building.

He had only taken a few steps when a well-behaved-looking young man jogged up beside him. Slightly out of breath, he smiled at Si Di.

"You're Si Di, right? I'm Yu Ning. Let's get acquainted?"

A small, fair hand reached toward him.

Yu Ning's skin was so white it was almost translucent. He was only tall enough to reach below Si Di's eyebrows, and his soft brown hair and moist, shining eyes made him look like a rabbit, carrying an adorably harmless air.

Si Di nodded, said, "Hello," and politely shook his hand.

To his surprise, Yu Ning was utterly shocked. "Your voice is actually so nice! I saw the news online before and thought you had a terrible temper and were especially hard to get along with. Now that I've met you, I know everything online was fake!"

Si Di raised his brows. "I distinguish clearly between grudges and favors. I'm still very friendly toward humans."

Yu Ning burst out laughing.

"I think you're like Zhang Wuji, defeating the six major sects all by yourself. Si Di, no! Hero Si!"

Yu Ning clasped his hands together and gave him the salute of an ancient martial artist.

Putting on the solemn, righteous expression of a martial arts hero, Si Di returned the salute. The next second, he broke character and burst out laughing. Taking advantage of his height, he draped an arm over Yu Ning's shoulders as they walked and talked.

They happened to reach the section where filming had begun.

The bright, cheerful youths suddenly appeared on the livestream.

[???? Si Di can actually smile?]

[And his smile is kind of pretty...]

[Oh no, it's over for me. I had hundreds of insults prepared for Si Di, but the second I saw his smile, I suddenly couldn't curse him.]

[You bunch of face-obsessed dogs! What's the use of being good-looking? Someone with corrupt morals is still trash!]

[Uh... if Si Di apologizes to my husband, I wouldn't mind making him my concubine. [lecherous][lecherous]]
