I really didn't intend to make a living based on my looks.

A short-haired girl with a sporty style walked out of Gate 5; she looked quite neat.

The five female guests stood in a row, each with their own unique characteristics, but number four stood out significantly.

The audience members whispered among themselves, and one older woman exclaimed, "That girl is beautiful!"

The soldier chuckled and replied, "Looks aren't important, what matters is fate! Come on, ladies, please introduce yourselves."

Number one through number three finished speaking in turn, using only the words from the script: name, age, occupation—all very standard.

Number four's turn.

Li Xue took the microphone and said in a clear voice, "Hello everyone, my name is Li Xue, I am twenty-two years old and I am a dance teacher."

She paused, forgot her lines, and quickly glanced at the script, "I hope to find a responsible guy."

After saying that, he smiled, his eyes crinkling to reveal a row of neat teeth.

Another commotion erupted from the audience.

After No. 5 finished his introduction, Da Bing continued, "Alright, the female guests are all in place. Now, let's welcome our five male guests to the stage!"

The music changes, and the rhythm becomes stronger.

The first one to go on stage was a guy with a buzz cut. He walked a little stiffly, bowed to the camera in the center of the stage, and placed the flowers in front of Gate No. 3.

The second one was the one dancing in the bar. She was quite lively and even waved to the audience. She placed the flowers in front of door number one.

The third one was a guy from a chicken farm. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He placed the flowers in front of gate number five, and then quickly stepped aside.

The fourth one is Fu Longfei.

The moment this guy stepped on stage, the style of the game changed drastically.

With a flick of his long yellow bangs, a tight black T-shirt clung to his body, and his platform shoes clattered loudly as he walked to the center of the stage, one hand in his pocket, and made a gesture towards the camera.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fu Longfei, a dance teacher. I hope to find my special someone today."

After speaking, he fixed his gaze on Gate 4, strode over, and placed the flower neatly in front of Li Xue.

"I took a liking to female guest number four at first sight," he said, flicking his bangs to reveal his other mysterious eye. "She has a very special aura."

Li Xue smiled politely and nodded.

The middle-aged women in the audience whispered among themselves: "That young man's a bit slick..."

"Women talk nonsense, it's not genuine!"

The soldier raised his voice: "Next up, please welcome our fifth male guest!"

Jiang Chen walked out from behind the side curtain, and the stage felt much more high-class.

Tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, he walked at a leisurely pace.

The stage lights shone down, and his face looked exceptionally photogenic in the camera lens.

With striking eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a sharp jawline, he has no superfluous expressions, yet he is undeniably handsome.

A few seconds of silence fell over the audience, then a middle-aged woman's clear voice rang out throughout the hall: "Wow! That's really something!"

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Jiang Chen remained expressionless, walked to the center of the stage, and took the microphone.

He was still somewhat dazed as he looked at the stage.

Having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time he had ever participated in a dating show like this.

He is a graduate of the performing arts department, with formal professional training.

Classmates Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, Li Xian...

Many people have made it big.

He was unemployed immediately after graduation, spent several years as an extra, and played a few supporting roles. His most famous role was a cannon fodder character in a certain drama who died after only half an episode.

Actually, it wasn't that there was no chance. Just based on his looks, several big shots said they could pull strings for him...

It's a pity he's a man...

Later, he realized that acting was not a viable career path, so he switched to behind-the-scenes work.

I've tried my hand at making web series and short dramas, but after several years of struggling, I've lost more money than I've made.

In the end, his parents, who worked at Shandong Film and Television, used their connections to get him into Zhengwu Sunshine as an assistant casting director.

Although I can't act, I can still enjoy some perks...

Sometimes he wonders, where exactly is the problem?

In terms of looks, he was considered a campus heartthrob at the Beijing Film Academy.

In terms of academic performance, he was among the top students in his class.

In terms of hard work, he started going to film crews to submit his materials during his sophomore year of college.

But it was just one breath short.

Later, he slowly began to appreciate its flavor.

The biggest disadvantage for ordinary people is not entirely the difference in initial capital accumulation from their parents' generation.

On the road to growth, no one guides you, and you miss many opportunities!

it's good now.

Although he didn't have a cheat code, he had a memory palace in his mind!

Every play, every person, every moment is neatly categorized and organized, so you can select whichever segment you want.

As a result, my energy became exceptionally high.

Side effects... well, they're not entirely absent.

For example, demand in that area has also surged, becoming ridiculously high.

I have to take two cold showers in the morning before I can go out...

Of course, most of them were prophets.

Just like that female guest number four standing on the stage, she will become a popular actress ten years later.

She changed her name to Li Yitong!

As for him, a freshman at Beijing Film Academy and a future big star, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to participate in this kind of dating show, or would it become a black mark on his past?

Face and reputation are worthless.

When people are poor and lack ambition, dignity is the least valuable thing.

Only by surviving can one talk about dignity.

Only by seizing opportunities can we talk about the future.

The lower your moral standards, the easier it is to succeed!

A dark history?

When you become capital, that's called a legend.

Jiang Chen snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Chen."

After a brief self-introduction, he began to present flowers.

He also gave the fourth female guest a number according to the script...

He placed the flowers in front of Li Xue and glanced up at her.

Li Xue was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became awkward.

The soldier sidled up and joked, "Female guest number four is really popular! Both male guests chose the same one. Looks like there's going to be a fierce battle later!"

A commotion erupted from the audience.

The subsequent interactive games were all conducted according to the script.

The first segment, "The Pushers of Love," involves male and female partners facing each other with their palms touching, standing on one leg, and seeing who can sway first.

The script said that Jiang Chen and Li Xue would be partners.

The two people stood in the center of the stage, their palms touching.

Li Xue's hands were cold, while Jiang Chen's palm was wide, enclosing half of her fist.

The referee called "start," and both players raised their feet simultaneously.

Li Xue has a background in dance and has excellent balance, allowing her to stand steadily.

Jiang Chen was no less capable; his core strength was sufficient. The two stared at each other, neither of them wavering.

But the script required "a drawn-out look in the eyes".

Jiang Chen looked into her eyes and said nothing.

Li Xue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips, but she didn't look away.

The audience watched as the two stared at each other, the atmosphere incredibly ambiguous, and the older women started whispering among themselves.

The second segment, "The Burden of Love," involved boys carrying girls across an obstacle course.

Jiang Chen squatted down, and Li Xue climbed onto his back, placing her hands on his shoulders.

She had a faint fragrance about her, not strong, you could only smell it if you got close.

Jiang Chen stood up and walked steadily.

Li Xue didn't make a fuss on his back, remaining quiet, but she moved her hand from his shoulder to his neck, resting it lightly without daring to apply any force.

When they passed the last obstacle, Jiang Chen stumbled, and Li Xue exclaimed "Ah!" and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Their faces were instantly very close, her lips almost brushing against his earlobe, her warm breath carrying a hint of panic, gently sweeping across his earlobe, soft and ticklish.

Li Xue realized what was happening and tried to distance herself as much as possible, but her face immediately turned bright red.

Another uproar erupted from the audience.

The third segment is a talent show.

Li Xue walked to the center of the stage, and the music started.

It is a piece of classical folk music.

Raise your hand, start dancing.

Her body was supple, her movements graceful, her waist bent like a willow branch, and the arcs drawn by her arms were as smooth as flowing water.

She twirled, her skirt billowed, her toes touched the ground, and she felt as light as a feather.

She paused in the final pose, slightly out of breath, her chest rising and falling, her face flushed from the exercise, and fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

Li Xue bowed, and as she straightened up, her gaze swept over everyone and landed on Jiang Chen.
