The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao simply smiled slightly as she faced the viewers in the live stream.

Right now, people are starting to ask follow-up questions:

Who is this woman? I need all her information in two seconds.

[Wasn't it supposed to be an All-Star lineup? I've never seen this before.]

She's so beautiful, I want to be a fan.

【Baby Qiaoqiao, Mommy's here to see you.】 Some of Shen Nanqiao's fans rushed into the live stream after seeing the official announcement.

Immediately, people in the live chat started asking her who this woman was.

【Our Nan Qiao is the most beautiful woman in the world.】 That's how every fan praises their idol.

This statement immediately drew criticism from others.

[Stop joking around, trying to portray yourself as innocent and pure. Our Sister Shuyue is the cutest.]

[I disagree, the person upstairs is talking nonsense, I'll vote for you, my darling]

There's no need to create hype on Weibo; related keywords have already slowly accumulated.

As soon as the term "most beautiful female guest on dating reality show" appeared, more and more people entered the live stream with this topic.

Shen Nanqiao was unaware of the fierce online battles unfolding in the comments section.

She simply smiled professionally and greeted the fans in the live stream with a warm and friendly smile, "Hello, everyone."

This was the first time Shen Nanqiao realized that the happiness she showed on her face in front of her fans was genuine.

Through that cold camera lens, Shen Nanqiao seemed to see the fans watching her from the other side of the screen.

Her smile touched everyone present, whether they were fans, viewers, passersby, or the cameramen and PDs facing her.

Shen Nanqiao asked the PD standing behind the cameraman, "Has everyone arrived? What number am I?"

Actually, the order in which they arrived was arranged by the production team, which is why Shen Nanqiao's car only came into view at this time.

However, Shen Nanqiao genuinely had no idea that this was the first time she had ever participated in a variety show like this, even if she raised her hand and counted on her fingers for two lifetimes.

I'm not familiar with it at all.

The producer treated Shen Nanqiao very well, politely telling her, "You are the fourth one to arrive; there have already been three guests before you."

The PD's voice was very soft, and all that could be seen in the camera was Shen Nanqiao's serious gaze at the lens, which was both gentle and firm.

Holy crap, I wish my older sister looked at me like that too.

This male fan never expected that he would be so captivated by that look the moment he clicked in, even though he had only come to watch the fun.

Below, there were also direct echoes: "So beautiful! Look at me!"

Shen Nanqiao, however, was only calculating how many people were in front of her and who they were.

She knew that the program team only officially announced the participants half an hour before the live broadcast started. At that time, she was dealing with other things and did not have time to consider or observe.

It's a bit too late to start getting nervous now.

Shen Nanqiao smiled at the camera again, pulled her huge suitcase, pressed the doorbell, and walked into the Heartbeat House arranged for the guests.

The photographer cleverly gave Shen Nanqiao a close-up of her back, highlighting her large suitcase and slender figure, providing the viewers in the live stream with another direct visual impact.

A small step. Shen Nanqiao easily picked up her suitcase and took a step forward.

He didn't seem to be struggling at all.

[Don't try to create such a convincing persona.] Someone immediately commented on the large suitcase Shen Nanqiao was pulling.

Shen Nanqiao walked into the house, and the three people who were already seated in the living room stood up.

Because the sofa in the living room was placed with its back to the door, Shen Nanqiao couldn't see who the three people were until they stood up.

Until the first girl who arrived turned around.

Wu Miaomiao, Shen Nanqiao never expected to meet this person on a show like this.

Shen Nanqiao's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, her acting skills were the most reliable tool. Everyone watched as Shen Nanqiao gave Wu Miaomiao a polite smile.

Everyone thought that Shen Nanqiao was seeing this actress who had just become famous for starring in a small web series for the first time.

Next to Wu Miaomiao were two other male guests who had just arrived.

One of them was Gu Ning, which Shen Nanqiao already knew. However, the way Gu Ning looked at Shen Nanqiao today carried a mutual, palpable resentment.

The other one, Shen Nanqiao, is not very familiar to me.

Those who participate in variety shows like this are unlikely to be any big names or big shots.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know all of them, and the onlookers didn't find it strange.

Because of the four people standing on the field, apart from Gu Ning who has acted in a few well-known TV dramas, most of the others, including Shen Nanqiao, are people I am meeting for the first time.

Shen Nanqiao first smiled politely at Wu Miaomiao, "Hello, I am Shen Nanqiao."

Looking at the other two, he extended his hand and shook hands simply and at a distance.

"Hello." Only these two words came out of Gu Ning's mouth. This was completely contrary to her previous thoughts.

Shen Nanqiao found it amusing, because she knew why he was doing it.

Although Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but laugh, she didn't directly expose Gu Ning's secret on the show. Instead, she looked at the guest she didn't know.

It's likely that Lu Qinian noticed that Gu Ning and Shen Nanqiao knew each other, so she took the initiative to introduce herself, "My name is Lu Qinian, and I'm an original singer."

Shen Nanqiao was surprised, and her surprise was also evident; only in this way could the production team achieve the desired effect.

Shen Nanqiao understood this principle well.

So, unsurprisingly, Lu Qinian caught Shen Nanqiao's surprise and asked, "What are you surprised about?" Shen Nanqiao sat on the other side of the sofa, neither with Gu Ning nor with Wu Miaomiao.

She chose to sit opposite Wu Miaomiao, where she could see the next guest entering.

"I feel you're more like an actor, so this is unexpected." The implication was that Lu Qinian was handsome, and everyone, including those watching on screen, heard it clearly.

Lu Qinian didn't expect Shen Nanqiao to be so direct at the very beginning. His face turned red immediately. His neatly styled hair and clean features made him look particularly innocent.

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but laugh. Following Shen Nanqiao's words, Gu Ning first glanced at Lu Qinian, then at Shen Nanqiao who had started to laugh, and then remembered what Shen Nanqiao had done a few days ago.

Unlike Wu Miaomiao on the other side, who awkwardly laughed along with Shen Nanqiao.

His face turned cold, displeased with Shen Nanqiao's actions.

Little did he know that his expression was captured by a camera that shouldn't have been filming him.

The comments section immediately erupted with support.

Gu Ning gave a cold look.

Does Gu Ning like our Qiao Qiao? No, it's too fast, Mom won't approve.

[Brainless women, stop imagining things]

How mean! She deliberately isolated our little Miaomiao as soon as she arrived.

[Exactly! Is it sexism to only shake hands with men?]

That's the problem with live streaming: any small action can be magnified countless times.

Even if Shen Nanqiao knew, she wouldn't explain why she only shook hands with men and ignored Wu Miaomiao.

Wu Miaomiao should be grateful that she was the only girl there at the time.

If there were other girls present, the comments would have shown that Shen Nanqiao didn't refuse to shake hands with girls, he just refused to shake Wu Miaomiao's hand.

Wu Miaomiao was also surprised when she saw Shen Nanqiao.

Last time, she went to great lengths to find Shen Nanqiao's phone number, but all the text messages she sent were wasted.

Wu Miaomiao thought she had dialed the wrong number, but after confirming Shen Nanqiao's deliberate action, she was certain that it was indeed Shen Nanqiao's number at the time.

She's deliberately ignoring me.

Wu Miaomiao was a little angry, but she certainly couldn't show it on the show.

Seeing Shen Nanqiao chatting happily with the other two male guests, Wu Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she interjected, "What has Nanqiao been up to lately? We haven't been in touch."

Unlike Shen Nanqiao, who never sets a persona for herself, she is a complex person who does whatever she wants.

Wu Miaomiao had just climbed the social ladder and signed with a new company. Before she arrived, her agent repeatedly reminded her that she only had one small web drama at the moment, and that she should keep a low profile in variety shows and make more friends with girls to improve her public image.

But seeing Shen Nanqiao's black hair, she couldn't care less about anything else. Her tone was somewhat arrogant, "I didn't get a reply to the messages I sent you a few days ago. I thought you were too busy to check your phone."

This immediately revealed the fact that Shen Nanqiao and Wu Miaomiao knew each other.

The comments section is buzzing again.

[Seriously? She knows her but pretends not to. What a scheming woman!]

[It might be a requirement from the production team; it's not really appropriate for someone with the surname Wu to say it like that directly.]

Does anyone know how those two met?

[Didn't Wu Miaomiao only film one drama? I checked and Shen Nanqiao isn't in it either.]

[Eating melon seeds, I love eating melon seeds.]

This variety show hasn't yet reached the entire society; it's mostly just for people who are bored at work or have nothing to do at home. Only a small number of celebrity fans are participating.

Shen Nanqiao's eyes sharpened, and she looked down at the ground, not looking directly at the camera. She hadn't expected Wu Miaomiao to pull this stunt right from the start.

Looking at Wu Miaomiao's fake smile, someone who didn't know the inside story would really think that the two would become close sisters in the future.

Having experienced betrayal after a deep sisterly bond was broken, Shen Nanqiao will never believe in such a charade again.

She didn't want to fabricate anything.

She looked at Wu Miaomiao, her expression still professional, "Did you message me? I didn't notice."

Everyone looked at Shen Nanqiao, and their surprise seemed genuine.

Shen Nanqiao felt around in the pocket of her bag but couldn't find her phone. Then she realized what was going on and said, "According to the rules, the production team took my phone. I was even saying I'd take it out to see which message you sent me."

Shen Nanqiao knew from the start that her phone wasn't with her. She hadn't forgotten it; she had just done it on purpose. She felt happy when she saw Wu Miaomiao's tense expression.

"What a pity." Shen Nanqiao's dejected expression didn't seem fake.

Wu Miaomiao's tense heart finally relaxed. "Actually, it's okay. We can talk about it after the show." Wu Miaomiao couldn't possibly let the contents of her text message be made public. She knew exactly what she had written.

The conversation was getting heated, and everyone was watching with interest when the camera suddenly cut to the outside of the mobile cabin. At the entrance, a black minivan, understated yet exuding luxury, stood. A male guest slowly stepped out of it.

He came down but not completely down.

Because both feet were on the ground, the person's face was still facing inside the car.

It sounded like someone was giving him instructions.

His impatience was written all over the back of his head. Xing Anhe finally waited for his agent to finish speaking, but his impatience hadn't been hidden; his furrowed brows were already pressed against the camera.

I was startled again.

Not only was Xing Anhe startled, but the viewers watching the live stream were also taken aback.

He's so fierce!

This guy is really aggressive.

What are they here for? To fight?

[The guy upstairs is wrong, she's here to date.]

[He's actually quite handsome]

Xing Anhe's agent left the scene in a car, but her phone was showing a live variety show.

Seeing Xing Anhe's expression when she arrived late, she felt a mixture of disappointment and frustration.

The reason we just arranged for Xing Anhe to be present is that he has a bad temper, and he should try to hide it better in front of the audience and guests, and not act like a spoiled brat.

Xing Anhe, who was facing the camera, probably remembered her manager's instructions earlier. Her expression changed stiffly for a moment before she gave a half-smile to the camera.

He hurried into the house.

Just as the camera switched and the audience was eagerly anticipating Xing Anhe's entrance, she turned the corner and rolled her eyes at the cameraman who had been pointing the camera directly at her.

After composing himself, he entered the small house.

Shen Nanqiao was the first to see it and stood up out of politeness.

The others also stood up upon seeing this, all welcoming the new guest.

Another round of tedious self-introductions ensued. Less than two minutes after sitting down, the other two female guests unexpectedly met at the door and came in together.

Zhao Shuyue and Zheng Yiyi came in together, neither of them carrying much luggage; their small suitcases were placed where everyone else had put them down.

Sitting next to Shen Nanqiao is Xing Anhe, who just came in.

Although Xing Anhe is not very bright, he still has good judgment.

There were only two female guests present, so I definitely had to sit next to the prettier one.

Xing Anhe first glanced at Wu Miaomiao, who was looking at her, and then at Shen Nanqiao, who was smiling and greeting her. Without hesitation, she sat down next to Shen Nanqiao.

Upon entering, Zhao Shuyue and Zheng Yiyi glanced at the situation before them and found their seats. This time, Wu Miaomiao took the initiative to start a conversation, wanting to show how she took care of the new guests.

There was another noise at the door.

The last guest has arrived.

Unlike the previous guests who were dressed formally or youthfully, Li Yicheng, who came in now, was striking not for her full makeup or her blonde hair.

Shen Nanqiao managed to stop his jaw from dropping; he was wearing a stylish yet somewhat unusual stage outfit.

You know what, Shen Nanqiao actually does have some impression of this person.

Li Yicheng, a member of a wildly popular idol group that recently disbanded, debuted as an actress.

Shen Nanqiao controlled her expression and greeted Li Yicheng before anyone else could.

Shen Nanqiao's restrained expression mirrored the surprise in the comments section.

Viewers who were watching closely exclaimed, "She understands me; she's my face double!"
