Sister Chen wasn’t wrong—she had breast cancer and really should have died.
But she just wouldn’t die.
Not only did she refuse to die, but through the chaotic “Celebrity Cleansing the Fandom” movement, she managed to skyrocket her popularity, which had been on the decline.
In the entertainment industry, as long as you have buzz, you’re in demand everywhere.
To prevent her from pulling any more crazy stunts, Sister Chen immediately contacted Director Zhang of You Know How to Love.
And as luck would have it, Director Zhang had been thinking of reaching out to them too.
After all, variety shows thrive on buzz and discussion.
Having someone like Jiang Qiyu—a madwoman who defies convention and willingly risks being criticized—on board would only generate more topics and heat. The production team had no reason to refuse.
Even though filming was about to start and the six guests—three men and three women—had already been finalized, the official Weibo account still announced that a female artist would join as a mystery guest.
After that earth-shattering “cleansing” incident that rocked the entertainment industry, Jiang Qiyu’s Weibo account was officially confiscated by her company.
So, while waiting for the show to start filming, she registered a secret account with a backup phone number and spent her days surfing the internet and causing chaos.
She argued with Lu Heng’s fans under the announcement post for the new drama starring the film emperor.
She argued with Jiang Mian’s fans under posts from smear campaign accounts.
She even argued with her own fans in the comment sections of posts by PR teams trying to whitewash her image.
In short, she argued with everyone.
Her approach was one of indiscriminate attacks.
Finally, after a peaceful week, the highly anticipated variety show You Know How to Love officially announced the start of filming.
This was a reality dating show that combined live streaming and recorded broadcasts.
The initial lineup consisted of six celebrity guests and one mystery observer. The production team arranged for all seven to travel from different airports to the “Love Apartment.”
In this apartment, everyone would live together for a month, getting to know each other with the premise of dating.
In addition to releasing a weekly edited version on all platforms, the show also launched individual 24-hour live streams, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the daily lives of the celebrities.
The day before filming began, Jiang Qiyu and her assistant, Yu Xiaoyu, arrived at the airport on time with their luggage, as requested by the production team.
Normally, the show would officially start once the guests arrived at the filming location.
But this show was different.
Without the guests’ knowledge, the production team had secretly arranged the first segment of the show at the airport—
Hidden cameras.
Countless fans had been waiting in the live stream rooms for a long time, and to enhance interactivity, comments were sent in real time.
Unlike the enthusiastic cheers in the live streams of the other guests, the mystery guest’s live stream was intentionally blurred.
To heighten the suspense, the production team had applied a real-time blur effect to Jiang Qiyu’s face, allowing viewers to hear her voice but not see her.
This unique approach naturally piqued the curiosity of many netizens, who speculated wildly about the mystery guest’s identity, filling the comment section with rapid-fire guesses.
“Huff…”
In the airport waiting area.
Jiang Qiyu glanced down at the huge white suitcase at her feet, then turned to look at her assistant, Yu Xiaoyu, who was panting heavily behind her.
A meaningful smile spread across her face.
“Xiaoyu, are you tired?”
“Huh?”
Yu Xiaoyu, laden with bags large and small, froze at the question, then slowly followed Jiang Qiyu’s gaze toward the white suitcase.
Realizing what Jiang Qiyu meant, her expression suddenly changed:
“Jie, this… maybe not?”
Faced with her assistant’s objection, Jiang Qiyu remained resolute:
“I’m tired.”
“But…”
Yu Xiaoyu wanted to say more, but under the pressure of Jiang Qiyu’s authority, she reluctantly nodded:
“Alright then…”
Their cryptic conversation was accurately captured by the hidden audio equipment on-site and transmitted live to the audience.
Soon, alongside viewers speculating about her identity, another wave of comments flooded the screen:
[Who is this mystery guest? She seems a bit entitled.]
[Is she really going to make her assistant carry the suitcase? The assistant already has so much to carry!]
[No princess status but all the princess attitude—can’t even handle one suitcase?]
[…]
Doubts continued to pour in, but no one expected what happened next.
In the next moment, the blurred-out mystery guest said nothing, lifted a long leg—
and straddled the white suitcase.
Once settled, she turned to her assistant behind her and called out:
“I’ll go ahead, you catch up.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the seemingly ordinary suitcase emitted a loud, high-pitched mechanical announcement:
“Beep—beep—Welcome to using our company’s electric suitcase. We wish you a pleasant journey~~”
Then came a strange and cringe-inducing Background Music:
“My heart beats like love’s fiery blaze～Your smile drives me into a craze～Love burns bright, warming hearts ablaze～I see love’s flickering flames in a daze～～”
“Jie!”
Yu Xiaoyu stood frozen in place, joining the live audience in a collective cringe.
She stared fixedly at the carefree figure, accompanied by the earworm-like music, weaving through the bustling airport terminal.
A lone rider, disappearing into the distance…
[This person… I mean, you really can’t say.]
[Yikes—so that’s what she meant by asking if her assistant was tired?]
[Question: How is this any different from taking a dump in public at the airport?]
[Probably… it doesn’t stink?]
Within just a few breaths, the suitcase carried Jiang Qiyu nimbly through the crowd and vanished from the live feed.
“Jie, wait for me!”
Without another thought, Yu Xiaoyu, left behind, gritted her teeth and hoisted a suitcase onto her shoulder, barely covering half her face.
Mimicking Jiang Qiyu’s move, she climbed onto the suitcase and, under the astonished gazes of passersby, pressed the switch:
“Beep—beep—Welcome to using our company’s electric suitcase. We wish you a pleasant journey~~”
…
Unprepared for the duo’s sudden antics, the camera momentarily lost track of them.
But the live chat scrolled faster than ever:
[The immersion is too strong—my secondhand embarrassment is acting up again.]
[First time I’ve felt like watching a livestream takes courage.]
[Director, switch the camera quick, or they’ll get away!]
By the time the flustered director found their figure among the multiple feeds and switched to it, everyone saw that Jiang Qiyu had already parked her “steed.”
Beside her, apart from her flushed assistant, stood someone about as tall as the suitcase…
a little girl?
Meanwhile, the assistant director monitoring the show’s progress backstage was shocked by this scene and immediately turned to ask the staff beside him:
“What’s going on? Wasn’t Jiang Qiyu supposed to encounter a blind person asking for directions? Where did this little girl come from?”
Since they had hidden cameras, the production team naturally wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to generate topics.
They had arranged actors for each guest to play various types of passersby, testing their reactions to spark discussions among the online audience.
However, the blind person Jiang Qiyu was supposed to meet had been left behind because her electric scooter had taken off too suddenly and too fast.
And this suddenly appearing little girl was clearly not part of their plan.
“……”
Seeing the staff exchange bewildered looks, the assistant director was glaring and about to lose his temper when someone tugged at his sleeve.
The director in charge of switching camera angles for Jiang Qiyu’s livestream pointed at the live feed and tentatively suggested:
“Assistant director, maybe… you should take a look first?”
