The online comments were full of insults for the guests, the only favoritism they had was for Jiang Yu.  If any of the guests tried to touch Jiang Yu’s hand or say more than a few words to him, they would be roasted until they didn’t recognize their own parents. The one who was bashed the most was Lu Bai, who was sitting next to Jiang Yu.

Seeing that Jiang Yu was fine, Director Wang and the crew finally relaxed.  Thank goodness Jiang Yu was alright, otherwise they would have been accused of harming a treasure of human civilization.

Although Director Wang wanted to ask who was responsible for the villa today, he remembered that they were still live.

Director Wang could only suppress his anger and put on a brave face to ease the tension. “Come on down and take a seat everyone, get to know each other.”

Hearing Director Wang’s words, Jiang Yu finally came to his senses, taking Lu Bai’s hand and walking down the stairs.  Seeing Jiang Yu going downstairs, the other guests followed.

Jiang Yu sat down on the sofa and smiled, “I’m sorry for making everyone worry.”

“My name is Jiang Yu, please take care of me.”

As he spoke, Jiang Yu unconsciously tucked a strand of hair that had fallen over his ear behind his ear.

The afternoon sun shone through the window and landed on Jiang Yu, as if he was shrouded in a light mist.

A man like jade from the fields, a gentleman like no other.

This was the thought in everyone’s mind.

Perhaps the guests were too mesmerized and hadn’t responded to Jiang Yu in time.  For a moment, Jiang Yu’s mood sank.

This scene made the viewers in the live stream exclaim that these guests were clueless, why didn’t they respond to Jiang Yu immediately.  Maybe this was what they called, “Those involved are blind, while onlookers see clearly.”

Jiang Yu felt a bit uncomfortable and instinctively tightened his grip on Lu Bai’s cool fingers. Lu Bai immediately sensed Jiang Yu’s uneasiness and responded.

He said concisely, “Lu Bai, thirty-two years old.”

Lu Bai was radiating an aura of coldness that could practically cut people, and the others on the sofa finally reacted.

“Nice to meet you, Jiang Yu. My name is Liu Baiyan…” a gentle and refined man smiled warmly at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was a stagehand, so he knew this was the famous Liu, the Shadow Emperor, who had won countless awards.

“Look at me, look at me, I’m Qiao Chu…” a boy dressed in trendy clothing interrupted Liu Baiyan.  He wouldn’t give anyone else a chance to chat with the beautiful man. The opportunity was his to seize.

Qiao Chu, the latest heartthrob.

Jiang Yu smiled politely, “Nice to meet you.”

The powerful woman sitting next to Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at Qiao Chu, not caring that they were on camera. She said rudely, “You scared Jiang Yu, didn’t you know?”

Then, without caring about the murderous expressions of the others, she gave Jiang Yu a kiss on the hand. The gesture was very quick, a touch and then gone, but it still managed to make Lu Bai and the others turn black.

Jiang Yu was uncomfortable with this intimate gesture, and instinctively pulled back his hand, leaning closer to Lu Bai.

“Jiang Yu, my name is Li Xue, I’m twenty-seven and still unmarried. I…”

Before Li Xue could finish her endless chatter, Liu Qianyun next to her covered her mouth.

“Liu Qianyun, with a family fortune of billions, I can bring my wealth into the marriage.”



The guests were about to fight over who could win Jiang Yu’s favor.

This was no longer a live reality show, it was a full-blown matchmaking event. Jiang Yu was the object of their desire.

The viewers in the live stream also realized what was going on.

“Although Jiang Yu’s beauty is so good to look at, why is there an extra guest?!”

“Didn't you see the Love Cabin’s official Weibo? This Lu Bai is a special guest invited by the show.”

“Why? I’m also very rich, I have more money than Lu Bai, why can’t I be a special guest? I can immediately invest one hundred million in this show,  as long as I can talk to Jiang Yu.”

The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar, they didn’t know what kind of luck Lu Bai had.

Director Wang saw the guests vying for Jiang Yu’s attention and quickly coughed twice.  His nephew’s girlfriend couldn't be stolen by outsiders.

“Before entering the villa, you all had already formed teams of two. Your subsequent tasks will be completed according to your teams.”

The four guests were stunned. No, they didn't want to be in teams! They wanted to do the tasks with the beautiful man. The director was being a jerk!

The four guests looked at their teammates, with disdain in their eyes. It was clearly their companies that had arranged for them to create a romantic pairing, but now they felt like they’d rather see each other die.  The sight of each other’s faces made them want to vomit.

Once you’ve tasted delicacies, who wants to eat rough tea and plain rice? To call it rough tea and plain rice is an exaggeration.  It was chaff! Husk!

"Director, I object!" The four said in unison.

"Objection overruled." Director Wang chuckled.

“You all chose your teams, and once it’s decided, you can’t change it.”

“Now, everyone come get the items you’ll be using for the task.” Director Wang instructed the staff to bring out the prepared lottery box.

“Jiang Yu, you go first.”  At this moment, everyone was on the same side.

Everyone tacitly agreed to let Jiang Yu draw first.  Beauty always has privileges.  The lottery box only had six balls, the earlier you draw, the higher the chance of getting something good.

Jiang Yu was a little taken aback.  Whether it was in his memories or this lifetime, this was the first time he had been given special treatment.

“Okay, thank you.” Jiang Yu smiled brightly, as beautiful and dazzling as a summer flower.

Woohoo, to get a smile from the beautiful man, it was worth it…

Jiang Yu walked over to Director Wang, lowered his eyes, and reached into the box. His clean and flawless, breathtakingly beautiful face leaned towards the camera, almost making the viewers in the live stream suffocate.

“Mom, I saw a god!!!”

While Jiang Yu was reaching for something, Director Wang secretly winked at Jiang Yu.

Go ahead and grab it, it’s definitely something good.

Jiang Yu pulled out a white ball from the box. Inside the ball was a piece of paper. He opened it and saw that it said food, water, and medicine, three items.

Jiang Yu slowly typed a question mark, what did this mean?

Director Wang chuckled, “The theme of this season is camping outdoors, the items on the paper are what the staff will prepare for your backpacks later.”

That wasn’t right,  he remembered that the first day’s task was to cook and get along in the villa. Could it be that he, the little butterfly, accidentally flapped his wings and changed the plot?

Jiang Yu fell into thought, wondering if there would be more things that deviated from the plot.

The real reason was that Director Wang had learned that some people with bad intentions had found out where they were filming and were trying to disrupt Jiang Yu. Now, those people were being stopped by security outside the villa.

But filming inside the villa was definitely not an option. Those people might even try to climb the wall and get in when the staff wasn't paying attention. What if they scared Jiang Yu? He'd be in tears.

The police department had almost been flooded with calls earlier because Jiang Yu almost got hurt.

Since they received a report, the police had to go investigate. If Director Wang didn't have someone above him to cover it up, they wouldn't be filming a show right now, they'd be in jail.

Jiang Yu sat on the sofa with the slip of paper he had drawn, and the other guests also went up to draw their items.

Lu Bai drew weapons and blankets.

Liu Baiyan drew pots, pans, and seasonings.

Li Xue drew extra clothes and a tent.

Qiao Chu drew communication tools and a set of toiletries.

Liu Qianyun drew insect repellent and a lighter.

Except for Lu Bai, the other four’s items were useless. Jiang Yu was fine, the beautiful man had privileges, that’s the whole point of a “happily ever after” story, but why was even Lu Bai’s draw more useful than theirs? It wasn’t fair.

The four guests slowly typed a question mark above their heads. This had to be a conspiracy, right?

Director Wang pretended not to see the questioning gazes of the guests. He had to create the conditions, even if they weren’t there.  The beautiful man was always lucky, and luck was a waste on those guys, but not on Jiang Yu.

How could such a stunningly beautiful man be unlucky? Even if he was, they were here for him.

As for Lu Bai, wasn’t this trash nephew teamed up with Jiang Yu?  He couldn’t let Jiang Yu be envious of the things other people drew.

The viewers also saw Director Wang’s little trick, and they all expressed their appreciation for him. They said they loved it, they loved this kind of mindless happily ever after story about a beautiful man.  Bonus points, bonus points, a hundred points.

How could a beautiful man be unlucky? He had to be lucky, they were just that mindless.

Bring it on!

Jiang Yu also noticed Director Wang's little scheme and chuckled softly. "Thank you, Director Wang."

Director Wang’s face turned crimson. He looked at that smile, and felt as if he was drunk, saying things that had nothing to do with the situation.  "Hehe, so beautiful,  ah, no, I mean..."

Director Wang recovered, and said righteously, "Thank me for what? We're all family."

As soon as these words were uttered, the viewers in the live stream bombarded Director Wang with negative points. Who the hell was family with him? Jiang Yu, the beautiful man, was obviously family with them,  not this director,  he had no shame.

Also, you, Director Wang, you’re not a young guy anymore, why are you blushing in front of the beautiful man?  Are you serious?

Get out!

Director Wang, get out of the live stream!

The live stream, which had previously been praising Director Wang, was now filled with insults. Director Wang didn’t care about any of that. Seeing the sour expressions of the guests and staff, Director Wang felt incredibly happy inside.

See? See? You guys don’t get this kind of treatment, but I do.

Jiang Yu likes me, I’m the first.

I just like it, you guys can't stand it, but you can't do anything about it.

Director Wang was on cloud nine.
