"Are you thinking of choosing another branch? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. We are spouses bound by mutual destiny, from heaven to earth, you are my wife for life, and forever will be my wife."
Lang Erping’s crazed appearance resembled that of a patient who had escaped from a mental institution.
His eyes were red and bloodthirsty, inexplicably instilling fear into others.
The audience in the live stream was instantly frightened by his appearance.
"I’m scared to death, I’ve never heard before that Lang Erping suffers from delusional disorder...."
"Am I the only one who noticed that he looks exactly like those ancient figures, who are deeply fearful... could it be that some friend has come knocking...."
"Guys upstairs, stop it, you are scaring me."
Because the show was broadcasted widely, Lang Erping’s unusual behavior seemed to have also caught the attention of some mindful individuals in the shadows.
"Slap, slap, slap..."
Su Li furiously slapped Lang Erping across the face several times, then jumped up and shouted loudly, "You scared me to death, you scared me to death..."
While saying this, she quickly added several more slap marks to Lang Erping’s face, saying, "You jerk, you scared me."
All the viewers watching the live stream: "....."
Please, you’ve scared us to death as well.
Lang Erping was dumbfounded, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses, his handsome face swollen like a pig’s head.
It turns out, no matter how handsome a male god is, when beaten, he looks just as hideous as any ordinary person.
However, Qin Qing fearfully hid behind Lang Erping, somewhat scared.
She had not expected that Madam’s true character was .
So irascible and violent.
Her entire impression of Madam was largely derived from the beautified descriptions given by her own husband and the people around her.
According to her own summary, Su Li was a naïve and kind woman, foolishly devoted, a woman deeply in love with her husband.
Even though her talents were extraordinary, she did not understand the human heart, particularly the heart of a man.
Dying for the one she loved was a meaningless death, bringing nothing but a few tears and in turn, benefiting someone else.
She was the beneficiary of Su Li’s death.
But nobody told her that Madam had a tendency to be violent.
Her previous fear of Madam stemmed from inferiority, and now, it was the fear of being beaten.
Look at the Marquis, he looks so miserable...
Su Li: "Stay away from me."
After returning to her bedroom on the third floor with Xue Guo.
Su Li felt deeply jealous, although she had guessed some of it, she still despised the way the show’s organizers treated them differently.
The third floor, with only three rooms in the entirety of it, one can imagine how large Xue Guo’s room was.
All of the decoration inside was the style of understated luxury for young girls.
"Knock, knock, knock"
The door was knocked, and a white sealed letter was slipped through the crack.
Su Li picked it up and opened it.
Inside the letter were background supplements for all of them.
According to the information inside, Xue Guo was the daughter of a laborer, while Su Li was her classmate.
This time, they were invited to participate in the cruise party because of their classmate Xie Susu’s 18th birthday celebration for her coming of age.
Su Li briefly glanced at the scene and could already come up with several melodramatic scripts based on that backdrop.
A survival reality show with so much drama...
The expression on Su Li’s face must have been too vivid as she thought this to herself and said it aloud.
The live broadcast’s comment section also followed with a flood of "hahaha", clearly amused.
The production team peeked at the screen, looking utterly dismayed.
The director, feeling depressed, turned to the assistant director and said, "Where’s the scriptwriter? Call them over."
Xue Guo looked at the words on the sealed document, silently reading the last line, "Please find the secret on this ship."
Su Li flicked her fingertips and said with exaggerated surprise, "Do I even need to look for it?"
"Considering the clichés of high-society drama, the plot could only go a few ways."
"The envelope specifically mentions your identity as a worker’s daughter, and now, seeing you, the special treatment Wang Bai and Xie Susu receive compared to others, the plot doesn’t need much brainstorming... Your background is definitely problematic, and who knows, you might even be related to Xie Susu."
"Maybe, you and Xie Susu are the real and fake daughters switched at birth?"
"Then... how will it develop next... Oh, right, surely Xie Susu discovers your existence, then tries to eliminate you, hence this ocean voyage."
The production team, secretly watching the live stream, "..."
We all had the same nine years of compulsory education, why are you so outstanding?
The scriptwriter, shocked, couldn’t believe it, could the other person really be the worm in his own stomach, as the saying goes?
The plot unfolded exactly as Miss Su Li had outlined.
Luckily, Su Li didn’t know what the scriptwriter was thinking, because if she knew she was being compared to something as disgusting as a worm, she’d definitely show him the transformation process of a female tyrannosaur.
Xue Guo also laughed at Su Li’s humorous remarks, "The production team wouldn’t really write such a melodramatic, terrible storyline."
Another hit to the heart.
Indeed, it was just such a coincidence.
The scriptwriter, watching the director fuming, could only awkwardly laugh.
The next day, the staff met Su Li again, looking at her a bit oddly.
Su Li attributed this to her charming beauty.
She casually said, "Ah, my irresistible charm..."
After the first breakfast on the cruise, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
Once all were done eating, the director appeared with a sinister smile.
"Next, I have another announcement..."
"Due to a sudden storm at sea, the ship will be destroyed in half an hour, and everyone on board will be forcibly scattered by the waves."
"The nine of you guests will fortunately wash up on a deserted island, but, unfortunately, you will face a harsh environment and scarce resources for the next seven days."
"Please try your best to survive until the search team finds you."
"Good luck, everyone."
The director’s words were like a bolt from the blue.
This was the typical pattern of enjoying bliss first, then being brutally thrust into hell.
The stakes had escalated.
Xie Susu and Wang Bai also anxiously asked, "Isn’t there any supply replenishment before we start?"
"Stranded on the deserted island, there should still be some luggage and supplies washed ashore with us."
Wang Bai also added, "Every previous episode started with some..."
The director glanced subtly toward Su Li, his eyes narrowing with a smile, "Always the same, that would be so boring."
"Well, our live broadcast is officially starting now."
The director added that pretentiously.
By then, even the few discontented others had composed their expressions, showing their best demeanor.
They truly believed the live broadcast was just beginning. Little did they know what their expressions would be when they later learned the truth. It would definitely be super interesting.
