Most of Ling Feng Han's fans are girlfriend fans, and they are all very opposed to pairing him with other idols in a CP.
This is why Gu Shi Entertainment wants to use a dating reality show to create distance between Ling Feng Han and some extreme fans.
Instead of him actually dating someone in the future and shocking those fans with a bolt from the blue, it’s better to use this dating show to give them a preemptive dose of reality.
Of course, this plan is only implemented on the premise that Ling Feng Han himself has sufficient strength.
With a Golden Microphone Award and subsequent chart-topping singles, Ling Feng Han has already established a firm footing in the domestic entertainment industry through his own efforts.
However, fan groups are like this, and combined with the previous extreme fan behavior, this was the plan decided upon after comprehensive consideration.
Meanwhile, Xia Qing Tian and Ling Feng Han were unaware of the strong opposition online. They chatted casually while heading to the living room as per the show's instructions.
Upon arriving in the living room, Xia Qing Tian saw Qiu Xin Xue seemingly talking to Lu Song Tao.
As soon as Qiu Xin Xue saw Xia Qing Tian enter, she immediately flashed a sweet smile and waved enthusiastically at her.
"You know her?" Ling Feng Han turned his head to Xia Qing Tian and asked in a low voice.
"We had scenes together in 'Spring's Most Cherished Blossom'," Xia Qing Tian replied.
Ling Feng Han only nodded at this and said nothing more.
"I believe everyone has seen their rooms and is satisfied, right?" a staff member from the production team said with a chuckle. "Whether you're satisfied or not, it doesn't matter, as you drew them yourselves. For the next four weeks, twenty-eight days, everyone will be spending time in those rooms."
"Each week, there will be a themed activity to help us eight guests get to know each other. Each activity will last for five days, and after the five days, there will be a 'heartbeat matching' session, where guests can choose the person they fancy or wish to interact with further."
"Once both parties successfully choose each other, the production team will fund a specially customized 24-hour date for them."
"Guests who do not have a mutual match can continue to stay here to prepare for the next activity, as each of our activities comes with a very advantageous grand prize."
"Now, we are about to announce the first week's activity for 'The First Step to Love.' The winner of this activity will receive a 300g gold bar, pure gold, mind you."
[Today's gold price is 400 per gram, so 300 grams of gold is 120,000... Holy crap! The production team is so rich!]
[A gold bar worth 120,000! Damn! Does this show recruit ordinary people! I want to sign up!]
[And only the winner gets it. Will the production team set super difficult questions, and if there's no winner, they won't give out the gold bar?]
[That's unlikely... It's just 120,000. The production team probably spends much more to invite a celebrity.]
[These actors are really ruining the country. So many scientists don't know if they can earn 120,000 in a whole year, yet participating in an activity and winning casually gets them 120,000... Your country is doomed!]
[Who is this wild idiot from upstairs? If you don't like it, get lost! You keep talking about scientists, but how many scientists do you know? Acting like you care deeply about the country just because you're spouting nonsense. Have you donated a cent to the country?]
[I hate these people who only talk big and are pathetic in real life. Get lost!]
[Exactly. They act meek in real life and punch hard on the internet. Ling Feng Han recently donated all his Golden Microphone Award prize money to the "Voice of Youth" Children's Fund. Since you dislike this so much, which scientist have you donated to, which research project have you supported? Show us a screenshot!]
[That's right, these artists participate in charity donations regularly. How much have you donated! Show us a screenshot!]
[I can't be bothered to argue with a bunch of brainless fans!] The person who made the mocking remark quickly disappeared after realizing they had angered everyone.
With the discordant voice gone, the atmosphere in the livestream instantly improved.
On the other side, the production team was continuing. The 300g gold bar sounded really tempting, but the task was not ordinary difficult.
"In this villa, there is a forbidden area, which is the secret room on the negative first floor. To open the secret room, you need to find a key. Our staff has hidden nine fake keys and one real key in this villa. Each guest only has one chance to open the door."
"The guest who opens the door with the real key is the winner. Starting tomorrow, everyone will have five days to find the keys. At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon five days later, everyone will start trying the keys."
"Remember, each guest only has one chance to try the key. No matter how many keys you find in the meantime, you only get one chance to unlock the door."
"Of course, if any guest finds five or more keys individually, they can come to the production team to exchange for crucial information about the real key."
"If none of the guests manage to find the real key and open the door, the production team will reclaim the gold bar."
The production team clearly explained the rules and precautions, and also left a printed A4 document detailing the game rules before notifying everyone to move to the dining room.
The owner of the villa had prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome the eight distinguished guests.
The eight guests then walked to the dining room together.
"It sounds really difficult," Ji Mei Na's voice sounded very youthful. Coupled with her height of just 1.6 meters and twin ponytails, she looked nothing like a 25-year-old adult woman. She currently had a distressed expression. "Eight guests, ten keys, and only one is real. What if I don't find any keys?"
"That won't happen. If you don't find any keys in the end, I'll give you mine," Xia Qing Tian couldn't help but say, seeing Ji Mei Na's distress.
"Really?" Ji Mei Na flashed a super sweet smile at Xia Qing Tian upon hearing this and proactively extended her hand. "You're so nice. I'm Ji Mei Na."
"Xia Qing Tian," Xia Qing Tian shook hands with Ji Mei Na, then said with a smile, "I'll call you Mei Na, beautiful Na Na."
"Hehe, then I'll call you Qing Tian," Ji Mei Na naturally looped her arm through Xia Qing Tian's, appearing accustomed to relying on others and playing the role of a younger sister. Her pouting was so natural, not at all forced.
"Qing Tian, how can you be so sure you'll find a key?" Qiu Xin Xue, seeing Xia Qing Tian and Ji Mei Na quickly become familiar, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She then interjected, "The game has just begun, hasn't it?"
"Actually..." Xia Qing Tian whispered to Ji Mei Na and Qiu Xin Xue, "I've already found a key."
Xia Qing Tian, having watched the show in her previous life, naturally knew where all the keys were hidden. However, she felt it wasn't right to cheat by relying on her advantage among these people.
So, Xia Qing Tian decided to just play it cool. If no one found the correct key by the last moment, she would go get it. Until then, she would just hold onto the key she found, making sure not to look too foolish or clumsy.
Actually, the production team was somewhat considerate. Each guest's room had a key hidden inside. As long as the guests participated in the key-finding activity, they would at least get one each.
However, these keys were all fake.
Her key was under the coffin, easily within reach. The other keys were not hard to find either.
