After divorcing the top-tier idol, my interview where we dissed each other went trending. A popular starlet posted sarcastically: "A toad lusting after swan meat." While the whole internet was waiting to laugh at me, the noble and cold Movie King posted late at night to support me: "Sister is so good, how could anyone be blind enough to look down on her?" Netizens exploded: [Is this still our noble and cold Movie King? Why does he feel a bit... bitchy?] 1 I had been secretly married to the top-tier idol, Caleb, for three years. We spent little time together. On the day I finished filming, it happened to be our wedding anniversary. I packed up early, planning to rush home overnight to spend some quality time with Caleb during my break and give him a surprise. But when I opened the door, I saw men's and women's clothes scattered all over the floor. There was an indescribable scent in the air, mixed with a perfume that wasn't mine—seductive and pungent, yet strangely familiar. The candles on the dining table hadn't burned out yet. The bedroom door was ajar, a sliver of light seeping out, along with the faint, ambiguous whispers of a woman. It was obvious what was happening. I took out my phone and started recording. 2 I dragged my suitcase to a hotel and stayed awake all night. The sweeter the old memories, the more nauseating Caleb's betrayal felt. I drafted a divorce agreement overnight and sent it to Caleb via express delivery. Whether it was because of the video in my hand or because he had long intended to do so, Caleb signed it readily. But we both chose to keep the divorce a secret. Perhaps unable to bear seeing me devastated, my agent handed me a variety show notice: "A slow-paced travel variety show that's very popular recently. Consider it early promotion for your drama, and a chance to relax." "I've checked the guest list. They are basically acquaintances you've met before. There's also the young Movie King, Liam, who is in the limelight, and the starlet, Bella." After skimming through the contract, I agreed readily. Relaxing while making money, why not? But coincidences make stories. On the day of the pre-recording interview for the variety show. The guests arrived early. Besides the ones I already knew, there was a familiar figure: Caleb. I froze on the spot and turned to my agent: "He's in this show too?" My agent was obviously confused as well: "I didn't hear about this." Seeing me arrive, the staff surrounded me: "Teacher Nancy, let's go to the dressing room first. The livestream will start soon." I suppressed the dissatisfaction in my heart. Having signed the contract, backing out now would mean paying a sky-high penalty fee. For me, love is never as important as bread and butter. Sitting in the waiting room, I began to familiarize myself with the script. To warm up for the variety show, this pre-recording used a livestream format, allowing viewers to interact with guests in the chat room. Although called an interview, the show's writers had already listed the questions and standard answers. I just needed to improvise reasonably based on them. The first few interview questions went smoothly, but the last question wasn't in the script. With a polite smile, the director slowly asked: "It is understood that this variety show is the second on-screen collaboration between Teacher Nancy and Teacher Caleb. What are your impressions of each other?" Caleb and I had a hidden marriage and a hidden divorce. His single persona was marketed to perfection, while my resources were downgraded, so almost no one knew about this short marriage. Taking a deep breath, I smiled: "Fake abs, padded butt, insoles at least two inches thick." The director froze on the spot. Caleb turned his head to look at me, his face full of surprise, his eyes filled with unconcealed anger, gritting his teeth: "Hypocritical, nice face but cruel heart." Comments densely covered the screen in an instant: [Who is this? A D-list celebrity dares to scold Caleb?] [Finally invited a top-tier star, and Nancy really dares to leech off anyone's fame. She dares to say anything!] [Stabbing each other in the lungs during the pre-recording stage? Something's wrong with these two. Let's watch.] [Fam, who understands? I smell a breakup. Did these two date?] 3 The next day, #Caleb Nancy Livestream Diss Battle# #Good Morning World Guests Caleb Nancy# Both topics topped the trending search list. My account gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight. Of course, mostly haters. Just as my agent was ecstatic, the popular starlet Bella posted sarcastically under the topic: "A toad lusting after swan meat." In no time, this post was sent to the trending search by bots. Endless insults poured in: [Bella is right. Nancy, have some shame. Is Caleb's fame that easy to leech off?] [Always a leech. Hard to comment on this.] Out of ten thousand comments, more than half were negative. My reputation hit rock bottom instantly. But at this moment, Movie King Liam posted late at night: "Sister is so good, how could anyone be blind enough to look down on her?" Five minutes later, it topped the trending search list, and the top comment exploded: [Is this still our noble and cold Movie King? Why does he feel a bit... bitchy?] Liam's post was like a heavy bomb dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples one after another. Netizens asked curiously: [What is the relationship between Liam and Nancy? Daring to support Nancy at this time?] Solo fans explained: [Our brother is soft-hearted. After all, they are on the same variety show; it's not good to make things too awkward.] There were also dissatisfied ones: [Nancy is too manipulative. Knowing there are a top-tier star and a Movie King in the show, she deliberately leeched off the heat.] [Our Movie King is beautiful alone. Please don't be sentimental. Flops stay away, thanks.] Having been in the industry for so many years, I was used to hearing insults. After all, this contributed to my traffic. It was just Liam's support that surprised me. Even my agent called specifically to ask: "Nancy, did you have a friendship with Liam before?" "I don't think so?" Liam's perfectly sculpted face was unforgettable. If I had to mention it... a memory suddenly surfaced in my mind. It was the third day after Caleb signed the divorce agreement. Seeing me depressed, a friend took me to a bar, claiming: "Instead of languishing over a scumbag, let's go look at handsome guys." "The next one is better, the next one is more obedient!" Unable to resist her, I agreed. But I forgot that when I get drunk, my personality changes drastically, and I act crazy. After three rounds of drinks, I started getting tipsy, picked up my phone, walked straight to a handsome guy in a booth not far away, and opened my QR code: "Hello, handsome. Wanna kiss?" The man turned his head, high nose bridge, indifferent eyes. Cruelly rejected, I squatted down hugging my legs and screamed: "I thought we had a chance. Didn't expect it to be my monologue." Perhaps seeing this for the first time, the man was shaken, extended his phone, and showed his QR code. I added him on WeChat and casually noted him as "Chat Guy." After all, ordering a guy in a bar, if not for chatting, what else could it be for? Opening the chat box, I bombarded him: "Sister has five apartments in Beverly Hills. Brother, wanna consider?" "Be my boyfriend, only profit, no loss." ... Thinking about it now, this "Chat Guy" looked exactly like Liam! I covered my head. "Then how did he...?" My agent hesitated to speak, but I understood her implication. But with just a one-time encounter in a bar, Liam shouldn't remember me. Seeing me silent, she quickly changed the subject: "Don't think about it. Filming starts in two days. Adjust your state." I nodded: "Okay." 4 "Good Morning, World" is positioned as a slow-paced travel variety show. The seven guests travel to destinations arranged by the program team in turn. For each destination, different guests prepare guides and plan the itinerary in advance. The first stop is Hawaii. The guides are Caleb and Bella. Due to the unprecedented heat of the pre-recording, the pilot episode received a huge wave of comments as soon as it aired: [Top-tier star × popular starlet, I love this guide configuration.] [Anyone like me wanting to see the frenemy CP? Caleb and Nancy dissing each other is also refreshing!] [Only a pilot episode? One person's blood letter asking for the first episode to be edited and aired quickly!!] On the day of official recording, I arrived at the airport early. Liam was already in the waiting hall. As the youngest Movie King in the entertainment industry, Liam's outstanding appearance has won a large number of fangirls. Black bucket hat paired with a baseball jacket and boots, distinct profile, smooth jawline. The whole person was casual yet exuded a sense of alienation warning strangers away. Where was the "bitchy" look from the trending search? Suppressing the doubts in my heart, I walked over slowly. Liam noticed me, his cold eyes softened a bit, corners of his mouth curved up, and he reached out to greet me: "Liam." I shook his hand, a light grip then release: "Nancy." "Are they not here yet?" "Still a while. Should be soon." Pausing, he added: "Caleb is already on his way." Liam stood almost a head taller than me. When speaking, he specifically bent down to get close to me. The fresh sea salt scent on him caught me off guard, filling my nose. Unexpected close contact. Liam leaned into my ear, lowering his voice: "Sister, didn't you say you'd buy me apartments in Beverly Hills?" Me: !!! My intuition was right. That night's "Chat Guy" was Liam! My heart trembled, and I took half a step back calmly. Seduction by beauty, who can withstand this? Liam and Caleb are two completely opposite people. Caleb has always been lazy. When we just got married, we agreed to travel to another city together. Almost missed the flight because he slept in. Arriving at the destination, he often canceled the itinerary last minute due to a whim. I didn't expect him to be the same even on a variety show. Immersed in my own memories, I didn't notice Liam's slightly disappointed look beside me. Seeing this scene, netizens commented frantically: [Liam is the King of Charm! He even bent down to listen to Nancy! This kind of detail really kills me boohoo] [Don't say it, the CP feeling is really mysterious. Nancy and Liam look so good together! The vibes of older sister and puppy dog are there.] [Disclaimer first, I'm Liam's solo fan, but when he mentioned Caleb, his tone felt weird, and his face wasn't quite right. Any family members feel the same?] [Agree with the above! Clearly said they were almost here, but insisted on mentioning Caleb. Connecting to the trending search, is Liam planning to announce officially with Nancy?] Netizens discussed enthusiastically, and the other guests also hurried into the waiting hall. The two guides were the last to arrive at the gathering place. Bella panted, her small face flushed, apologizing repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, didn't expect everyone to come so early. It's my first time being a guide, I thought arriving at the gathering time was fine." Caleb had a cold face, his gaze patrolling back and forth between me and Liam, emotions indistinguishable. Several guests expressed they didn't mind. The group, led by Caleb, went to check in. Walking past me, Caleb stopped: "In the group chat, you said you arrived very early." "Looking forward to the Hawaii trip that much?" He spoke to me, but his eyes looked at Liam. He must have seen Liam's post and the top comment. He didn't avoid suspicion with Bella, yet was dissatisfied with my contact with Liam. Back when we were together, I interpreted it as Caleb being possessive and jealous. Looking at it now, it was just making trouble out of nothing. I laughed in anger. Just as I wanted to retort, Liam spoke with a smile: "Very much looking forward to it." "Especially knowing Sister is also participating in this variety show, I was so excited I didn't sleep all night." I froze. Was this meant for me? But Liam didn't care at all, wearing a polite smile on his face. Looking at Caleb, his face was so dark water could drip from it. Secretly delighted, I glanced at the gloomy Caleb, followed Liam's steps, and hurried to check in. The interaction between us also sparked speculation among netizens: [Is it my illusion? Did Liam and Nancy know each other before?] [Movie King Liam is too good at this, right? Tea Dog (scheming puppy) yyds (eternal god)! Nancy-Liam CP, I'm shipping first out of respect.] [Seems like a huge Shuraba (battlefield)! Ex and current meeting, war is imminent! Sister Nancy has got something.] [Hard to comment [doge face]. Movie King Liam isn't like this in other variety shows! The green tea scent is too strong, I like it!]
