Chapter 003: Visual Impact

[???!!! I'm beginning to suspect the production team is playing with some really new trick!]

[A newcomer with the same full name?]

[Did the fake princess undergo plastic surgery?]

[Even plastic surgery should need recovery time, right? It hasn't even been a week, how did they whip up a fake face?]

[Who hasn't had surgery, tell me, has plastic surgery become instant, disposable now?]

[The production team should stop messing around, it's not funny at all…]

…

The barrage became denser, and haters began to flood in.

Of course, Shen Yan couldn't see the barrages insulting her on screen; she was giving Director Ji a friendly smile.

It took Director Ji and the staff quite a while to snap back to reality, and then they hurried to call Director Li.

After explaining the situation here, a dedicated staff member quickly ran over, his expression not the best. He came over and looked around several times, but couldn't see the so-called "Shen Yan"; he paused, thinking Director Ji was playing a joke on him.

"Director Ji, didn't you say Shen Yan was here? Director Li asked me to bring someone over…" Where is she?

With an expression rich with unsaid thoughts, Director Ji slightly lifted his chin to signal the staff member to look at Shen Yan.

The staff member, seeing Shen Yan's face, had his pupils constrict slightly. Whose artist is this?

With that beauty, even as a vase, fans would buy it.

"Hello, I'm well now, and I can completely continue participating in the show's filming," Shen Yan stepped forward and said to the staff member.

The staff member looked and looked, his eyes widening in shock, and blurted out, "Shen Yan, how did you end up looking like this!"

Despite being constantly questioned about her identity, Shen Yan maintained a good temper, "I have always looked like this."

Recalling Shen Yan's heavily made-up appearances before, everyone's expressions became even harder to describe.

You look like this, why on earth would you dress down and scare people!

As the staff member led Shen Yan away, Director Ji immediately reacted, adjusted the camera, and followed.

Once that long take was finished, it immediately followed the camera as it came out from another side, directly entering Shen Yan's exclusive live broadcast room.

Everyone thought Shen Yan wouldn't appear this episode, so Shen Yan's exclusive live broadcast room had been stuck on a still image, with only two or three haters idly lingering.

As soon as Shen Yan's live broadcast room showed activity, those few watching haters instantly became agitated.

[???!!!!]

[Holy crap, she's alive! I thought the fake princess wouldn't show up, her skin's thicker than I imagined by several feet.]

[Brothers and sisters! Let's start!]

[Hahaha… there's work to do again! Is the fake princess wearing ten-centimeter high heels and a revealing halter dress this time!]

The screen suddenly clashed against a serene and exceptionally beautiful face.

The barrage seemed to suddenly freeze, the live broadcast room eerily quiet.

[This, this this... which immortal sister has graced us with her presence?]

[I'm sorry, fairy, I wasn't cursing you just now, I was cursing myself...]

[Wait, isn't this the fake princess's live broadcast room?]

The haters withdrew one after another, rewatching it over and over, confirming that it indeed was Shen Yan's exclusive live broadcast room.

They hadn't looked closely before and took several more looks.

No matter how many times they looked, it was still that serene and refined face.

The haters belatedly realized.

This is Shen Yan without makeup!

The haters instantly reacted again, starting another round of fervent insults.

It was even more intense than before.

"Director Li, look at Shen Yan's live broadcast room, our viewership has suddenly surged!"

Someone threw this information in front of Director Li.

Director Li burst into laughter upon seeing Shen Yan.

Here comes the drama!

Ratings are secured!

The show is gearing up to trend again!

"Deliver the survival tools to Shen Yan, no need for greetings, just send them over!" Director Li hadn't even closed his mouth before he started giving orders.

He was anxious not to miss a single moment of heat.

Shen Yan, who was about to go greet Director Li, received the assigned survival tools and was taken over right away.

This live wilderness broadcast had invited eight guests, four females and four males, pairing up for survival.

With Shen Yan's absence, another male guest had to complete the tasks alone.

The male lead, Mu Jincheng, and the female lead Chu Jinghe were naturally paired together. Wen Yan, who partnered with Shen Yan last time, had originally debuted as a singer and acted in a movie last year, which did pretty well and significantly raised his profile.

Zhou Jingming, who had entered the circle with the show "Dancing Storm," was also quite famous and paired with the female star, Liu Qiang.

Xu Zishen had debuted as an intern and so far, his family background was semi-public. He was the son of a wealthy family from a certain province and had chosen to debut rather than take over the family business.

His partner, Qin Dingyue, liked excitement, hence she participated in this survival show.

In reality, survival was just that.

It profoundly disappointed Qin Dingyue, who even talked about quitting at one point.

If not for the contract that bound her, she probably would have run away by now.

Shen Yan's arrival not only caused a stir among the black fans in the live broadcast room, but those surviving on the desert island were also stunned upon seeing her.

Liu Qiang blinked, "Is there a new guest? Should we go up and welcome her?"

It was still the same pairing from the first episode, and Zhou Jingming was teamed with Liu Qiang.

Zhou Jingming was making fire with wood. Their food for the day was a small fish smaller than a palm and a couple of wild fruits, which the crew had identified as edible.

There were also some wild greens.

Neither of them had a rural background, so their knowledge of wild greens was limited.

That's why they only gathered a little.

Hearing Liu Qiang's words, he looked up and saw, from afar, a graceful girl in neat casual attire approaching.

Judging just by her demeanor, she was definitely a beauty.

However, Zhou Jingming quickly diverted his gaze and continued with his task.

"Let's go over after we finish dinner," Zhou Jingming said without looking up.

Liu Qiang smiled and praised, "The new female guest is very beautiful!"

[Qiangqiang! Quick, clean your eyes, that's the fake princess, don't be deceived by her façade.]

[I just came over from next door, and it's confirmed—it's definitely the fake princess. Only my beautiful and kind Qiangqiang would praise her against her better judgment.]

Shen Yan arrived with a tent and a small shovel in front of Wen Yan, who was vigorously making fire.

Wen Yan looked up at her, his pupils slightly vibrating.

"I'm back again. Take good care of me," Shen Yan said, glancing at the unevenly gathered wild vegetables and two fish, each the size of two fingers, by his side.

Wen Yan's eyes widened, "You are Shen Yan!"

Wen Yan, who had just thought his new partner had arrived, visibly soured in an instant and instinctively stepped back before remembering something and hurriedly guarding the hard-earned food with both hands.

[HAHAHA! I'm dying of laughter, how could Wen Yan be so adorable!]

[😡jpg, why should the fake princess enjoy the fruits of Wen Yan's labor right upon her arrival, knowing how hard he searched for this little bit of food? The fake princess didn't come early or late but just at this time. It must be deliberate.]

[No matter how pretty she is, she is trouble, spit, she better not touch Wen Yan's food!]

[Have some shame, fake princess, that's Wen Yan's dinner today.]

[Poor my Wen Yan…]

Shen Yan was numb to this reaction by now, "I'm here to join your team, not to steal your food, so don't look so horrified."

The audience: …

As if they heard her say: "I'm here to join this family, not to break it apart."
