Sacrificing Herself for the Sake of Others

Gu Jinwei automatically ignored the chaotic barrage on the screen, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on the girl who smiled as if bathed in spring breeze.

Shen Yunchu indeed possessed such arrogant confidence. As the only daughter of the Shen family for three generations, she had grown up in a privileged environment, sheltered like a delicate flower.

Even if she claimed to be the most perfect queen in the entertainment industry, no one could refute her. Shen Yunchu was truly the most brilliant star, dazzling and radiant.

Gu Jinwei closed his phone and suddenly regained his senses. It seemed like he had just smiled, unable to control his facial expression while watching Shen Yunchu on his phone during the livestream.

Today, he had spent the entire afternoon watching the live streaming, which was already quite crazy. He had unexpectedly praised Shen Yunchu without restraint, finding her words reasonable.

Wasn't she beautiful? Shen Yunchu was indeed beautiful. Wasn't she adorable? Shen Yunchu was indeed adorable.

Gu Jinwei pinched the bridge of his nose, realizing that his behavior today was inappropriate. This was merely a strategic marriage between prominent families, a mutually beneficial cooperation. They were two parallel lines that could never intersect.

He stood up, closed the live stream on his phone, and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.

Gu Jinwei was disciplined, and capable of handling both family matters and emotions with ease. Any bugs would be promptly resolved by him.

Just like Shen Yunchu, this unexpected wife who had appeared midway. They were only in a marriage of convenience!

The night was adorned with sparkling stars. Xue Yuanyuan stood pale-faced in front of the camera, wearing a look of despair and tears welling up in her eyes.

She was the last one to reach the mountaintop and had failed to secure a tent, which meant that she would have to spend the night as a watchman.

Shen Yunchu ate the meal provided by the production crew and glanced at Xue Yuanyuan, who was still in front of the camera, pretending to console her fans.

That crying appearance seemed like an attempt to emotionally manipulate the male guests.

As an acclaimed actor, Zhou Yu naturally set an example by taking care of the female participants. He generously offered his tent.

Xue Yuanyuan was pleasantly surprised, "It's all right, I can sleep outside. I won't feel cold."

"Let me take care of it, Sis Yuan. I can share a tent with Zimao," Qi Cheng actively participated in her melodramatic act.

Shen Yunchu glanced at the mini tent that could only accommodate one adult. Two grown men squeezing inside would make it impossible to even straighten their legs.

Xue Yuanyuan was moved, her eyes glistened like pear blossoms. "Thank you, there's no need for you to take care of me. It's not too cold tonight. I'll be fine once I put on my coat."

"How can I allow a young lady like you to spend the night in the open air? Come inside and rest," Zhou Yu's voice was remarkably forceful, carrying an irresistible dominance.

Hearing the indulgent tone, Xue Yuanyuan couldn't help but blush. "But what about you?"

"I, as a grown man, am more suited to sleep outside," Zhou Yu sat directly on the ground.

Shen Yunchu couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Four pairs of eyes simultaneously fell upon her.

Xue Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, wondering what this woman was up to again.

Shen Yunchu threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Zhou rarely participates in variety shows, right?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "This is my first attempt at a reality show. Is there something wrong?"

"So, Mr. Zhou, you don't have much effect on variety shows. People watch these programs to have fun and enjoy seeing the production crew play tricks on the guests," Shen Yunchu said.

"Are you saying I'm too old-fashioned?"

"Mr. Zhou, variety shows thrive on conflicts and highlights. The more miserable and attention-grabbing, the better. Xue Yuanyuan seems to be a newcomer, and she needs more highlighted moments like this. For example, when Shen Yunchu tries to cry but stubbornly holds back her tears, everyone's attention will be focused on her, and they will feel an irresistible urge to comfort her. That's the effect of variety shows."

Zhou Yu furrowed his brows, realizing what Shen Yunchu meant. Had he unintentionally achieved the opposite effect?

"We should give the newcomer more opportunities," Shen Yunchu said earnestly.

Zhou Yu stood up, looking at Xue Yuanyuan, whose eyes were still teary. This was all prearranged by the production crew, and he couldn't break the rules.

"Mr. Zhou," Shen Yunchu grabbed his sleeve.

Zhou Yu, puzzled, asked, "What's the matter?"

"Let me be the villain instead. Otherwise, tomorrow's trending on Weibo will be about you, Mr. Zhou, going back on your word."

Zhou Yu frowned, finding it inappropriate. "That's not right."

"I'm already infamous, known for all sorts of mischief. Being blacklisted is still a form of popularity. Mr. Zhou, you should give me a chance to continue self-deprecating."

Zhou Yu, a veteran in the entertainment industry, had mostly been involved in scripted reality shows. His first impression of Shen Yunchu had been influenced by his manager, who had warned him to keep his distance from this girl who liked to provoke popular figures.

But now, he realized he had been mistaken. Shen Yunchu was quite innocent, and her bright smile held no trace of scheming. It seemed like she had created those controversies just for her amusement.

Shen Yunchu was perceptive, considering the well-being of newcomers. The scene they had just acted out was probably to give Xue Yuanyuan more screen time.

By self-deprecating, Shen Yunchu sacrificed herself for the sake of others!
