[Holy shit! Did she hit someone?]
[Hahahaha, run someone over and you're going to prison for life. That bitch Xie is getting prison food!]
[But why does this look like an insurance scam to me? Did he just say "type 1 to revive me"...?]
[Isn't that Mr. Panda??]
Earlier, Mr. Panda had suddenly disappeared before revealing his identity.
Quite a few people guessed he had chickened out because he was hideously ugly.
Nobody expected him to make his entrance like this.
It was really...
Original.
The scene was so quiet that everyone could have heard a pin drop.
Just when everyone thought Xie Mi would panic and lose her head, she laughed in exasperation.
"Trying to scam me, huh?"
She headed back to the car without looking back, casually tossing out, "Move yourself, or I'll run you over."
Everyone else's eyes filled with even more horror.
Holy shit! This woman is insane!
Mr. Panda remained unmoved as he lay on the ground, but his head happened to tilt to one side, and his mask accidentally slipped off.
An incomparably handsome face was revealed.
His skin was as fine as exquisite porcelain, his tousled black hair scattered across his forehead. He had long lashes, a high nose bridge, and soft, rosy lips.
Xie Mi spun around smoothly, lunged forward, and helped him up!
"11111111!"
[Holy shit!! What are you all waiting for? Hurry and type 1 to revive my husband!!]
[11111111111]
[1111111111111111]
The live comments did a complete one-eighty. The screen filled with 1s, even drowning out the comments insulting Xie Mi for a while.
Then someone at the scene cried out in surprise.
"Mr. Shen?" Liu Woxing covered her mouth in astonishment. "Are you Mr. Shen Yeqing?"
[Mr. Shen?? Holy shit!! That mysterious tycoon, Mr. Shen??!]
[Mr. Shen, a mysterious tycoon devoted to charity, has made over 300 donations in recent years, each worth at least eight figures. To this day, nobody knows how much he's actually worth.]
[I always thought Mr. Shen was an old man. Turns out he's a young hottie!!]
[Even Shen Yeqing is going on a dating show? What kind of elite dating show is this??!]
Shen Yeqing was a leading philanthropist whose charitable deeds were already famous worldwide. From eighty-year-olds to three-year-old children, everyone knew of his good works.
He had already been an untouchable, almost sacred figure. Now it turned out he was this good-looking, too.
Everyone loved him even more.

The trending topics sent all of Weibo into an uproar. Even people who never watched livestreams hurried into the stream to see for themselves.
Only to find...
The mysterious tycoon leaning weakly in Xie Mi's arms.
Wait, what kind of pairing was this?
[Xie Mi is such a slut! She throws herself at every man she sees. Mr. Shen obviously likes Shuangshuang!]
[Okay, but when did Mr. Shen ever like Xu Shuangrong?]
[Mr. Panda clearly wasn't that interested when he was eating with Xu Shuangrong, and he chose no afterward, too. Why do Shuangshuang's fans keep hyping themselves up and insisting he likes her? I seriously don't get it.]
The name Shen Yeqing was entirely unfamiliar to Xie Mi.
This character hadn't existed in the original novel. Its sixth guest should have been the original second male lead, You Hongxuan.
But Xie Mi didn't dwell on that.
With a beauty in her arms, thinking about another man would have been a little rude.
Perhaps all those 1s had worked. Shen Yeqing slowly opened his eyes, revealing a beautiful, soul-stealing gaze.
"Were you the one who hit me?"
Well, damn. Even his voice sounds this good.
Xie Mi was bewitched.
"Yes, it was me."
The man in her arms smiled even more charmingly.
"Good, then. Pay up."
Xie Mi's smile vanished instantly.
Fuck.
He really is a scammer!
The absurd opening shoot finally ended, and the six guests split into three pairs to head to the villa.
Unsurprisingly, Xie Mi was paired with Shen Yeqing.
But by now, all her lust had evaporated. Money talk ruined the mood, after all.
"You want compensation, right? We can discuss the details in the car." Xie Mi politely invited him inside.
Seemingly surprised by her cooperation, Shen Yeqing readily got in.
"Sure."
He was just about to fasten his seat belt when Xie Mi suddenly stomped on the accelerator, then the brake!
Bang!
Shen Yeqing's head slammed into the windshield, knocking him out.
Xie Mi made a heart gesture at the unconscious Shen Yeqing. "Now we don't need to talk."
That was what he got for trying to extort her.
[?!!?!!!!]
[Holy!! Shit!!]
[I used to think Xie Mi was just pretending to be crazy and playing dumb. Now I know she's genuinely insane.]
[Wait?? What?? That's Shen Yeqing, rich and gorgeous! What are you doing?? What the hell are you doing??]
Everyone thought Xie Mi must have been blessed by her ancestors to get paired with Shen Yeqing. Fine, she wasn't sucking up to him or showing off her best side, but what the hell was this??
[I've figured it out!]
The know-it-all arrived late, but arrived nonetheless.
[Because Xie Mi is Best Actor Xiao's devoted lapdog. Of course she doesn't have eyes for other men. She might even be doing this on purpose to show him how faithful she is.]
Ohhh-
The viewers saw the light.
So she was doing it on purpose. She was building a persona.
But what happened next gradually strayed from their guesses.
After arriving at the villa, the six guests sat around on the living room couches, ready to begin the day's first icebreaker game: putting fingers down.
The rules were as follows: everyone held up five fingers, then took turns sharing something they had experienced. Anyone who hadn't had the same experience had to put a finger down. Putting all five fingers down meant losing.
The first two people to lose would become tonight's cooks and prepare dinner for everyone.
"Oh, Mr. Shen, what happened to your forehead?"
Xu Shuangrong suddenly exclaimed, pulling out a handkerchief as she approached Shen Yeqing. "How did you get hurt so badly? If you don't hurry to the hospital, it'll..."
"Heal."
Shen Yeqing interrupted her, his lips curving into a pointed smile. "No thanks. If it heals, how am I supposed to scam anyone?"
Xie Mi, who was munching on melon beside him, choked. "?"
You'd better explain who you're planning to scam, buddy.
Xu Shuangrong was a little embarrassed, but her excellent composure allowed her to smile again quickly. "It looks like you two are getting along wonderfully. That's great. Now I can relax."
"Don't relax just yet," Xie Mi said, expertly undermining her. "The two of us are definitely going to go at it later."
"You want to do me?" Shen Yeqing looked astonished, then a little bashful. He lowered his head with a faint smile. "That works, too."
"????"
Xie Mi charged over and grabbed his collar. "Dump all that filth out of your brain!!"
Bang!
Xiao Jingxi suddenly slammed his glass down on the table so hard that everyone turned their attention to him.
His thin lips were pressed tight, his expression dark, yet he slowly managed a smile. "Let's stop messing around and start the game. The director's cueing us to move on."
Director Niu, who had been thoroughly enjoying filming all this: "?"
Wait, what?
I didn't cue anything.
