Lin Ran wore a look of disdain. "I’d never be a coward in love. You’ve got to chase it boldly, fight for it bravely, and act without hesitation."
He wasn’t lying—when it came to love, Lin Ran had always charged forward fearlessly.
Even in his past life, facing the shattered remnants of a "relationship" with someone like Liu Ruxue, he’d fought tooth and nail to piece it back together.
This life with Luo Yao? Even more so—a fearless, mutual pursuit.
Luo Yao tightened her arms around him, as if she wanted to devour him right then and there. The live chat exploded once again.
[Waiting on Grandma’s Postpartum Confinement]: Damn, you two are something else. No wonder you’re a match made in heaven—your thought processes are next-level.
[Kid Who Accepted Fate Early]: I was almost in tears just now, lamenting all the regrets in love… and then these two pull this stunt? Is Lin Ran secretly a yandere or something? Do yanderes just not experience tragic love?
[Romantic "Diary"]: Gotta admit, they kinda make sense. I think I’m being brainwashed—what do I do?
[Double Trouble]: I’m curious—how long could Lin Ran and Luo Yao, these rich elites, last in a rural setting?
[Always Wondering What My Name Should Be]: Excuse you? They’re wealthy, not useless. Most rich people aren’t the spoiled brats you imagine. They’re raised with diverse skills and adaptable education.
As the guests for the first episode of this special program, they stepped into the courtyard. Behind them, their security team cordoned off the area and began patrols.
Normally, guests wouldn’t bring bodyguards to a show—maybe an assistant at most—but given Lin Ran and Luo Yao’s status, the production team turned a blind eye. Just keep the security out of the shots.
Pushing open the gate, Lin Ran found the place impeccably tidy. The brick-paved courtyard was stunning, especially with the snow piled against the walls—a wintry kind of beauty.
To his surprise, there was even a plastic greenhouse, lush with plants inside, clearly well-tended.
The centerpiece was a two-story villa. Stepping inside, the decor was a blend of traditional Chinese and rustic charm, meticulously arranged—every detail spoke of care.
Liu Yishou smiled. "This is where you’ll be staying. Hope it meets your expectations?"
Lin Ran glanced at Luo Yao, who nodded.
She thought the setup was far from extravagant, but it had its charm—compact yet refined.
Liu Yishou peeked at the camera. "Psst—just between us, we’ve got a little task for them to complete before bedtime."
[Wedding Night Stockholders]: Oh, you devious producers. I’m here for it.
[Remember My Name, Chat]: Can we just keep these two as permanent guests? Petition to never switch them out—I’m obsessed.
The house lacked central heating, but the fireplace roared, keeping the space warm. Lin Ran helped Luo Yao out of her coat.
"President Luo, Young Master Lin, we’ll be documenting your daily life here. Beyond the necessary segments, we won’t interfere. Feel free to pick a room to rest, then make lunch. You can use any veggies from the greenhouse—just don’t waste them."
Lin Ran nodded in understanding.
They chose a room on the second floor—cozy but bright.
Their luggage was light: just sleepwear and toiletries. No need for more, since they’d be leaving tomorrow night.
When they returned downstairs, the crew handed them task cards and displayed the challenges on the livestream.
Secretly perform three assigned actions without the other noticing. If completed by 6 PM, it’s a success. If both succeed, guess each other’s actions—whoever guesses more wins.
The winner can make one non-refusable demand.
The chat erupted as the tasks were revealed.
Lin Ran studied his card. "Today’s mission: pull off these moves without her noticing, then make an un-rejectable request?"
"What’s the point? Yao’s never turned down a request from me anyway."
[Ne Zha’s Dad—Pagoda]: Did he just call his wife a wishing well? Like, ‘whatever I ask for, she grants it’? If true, I’m gonna die of envy.
[Forgot-the-Kid Milk]: He said they’ve never refused each other’s requests. Meaning he’s also her wishing well. Why the jealousy? Though, gotta admit, that line was sweet.
Lin Ran and Luo Yao exchanged a smile. No further words needed.
This "mission"? They’d play along if they felt like it. No way the producers could control them.
Grabbing a basket, they headed to the greenhouse. Before stepping out, Lin Ran draped Luo Yao’s coat over her shoulders—no way he’d let his little demon catch a chill.
Inside the greenhouse, the temperature stabilized.
The plots held common veggies: peppers, eggplants, and the like.
At the sight of eggplants, Lin Ran flashed back to a… memorable moment.
The first time Luo Yao cooked for him, after two kitchen explosions, she’d proudly presented a plate of braised shrimp.
Lin Ran took a bite and said, "This eggplant’s pretty good."
That night, he wound up in the hospital. Since then, Luo Yao had been banned from cooking.
"How about eggplant for lunch? My treat," Lin Ran offered, pointing at the veggies.
Luo Yao recalled the same incident and smirked. "Sure."
[18-Year-Old’s Fill-in-the-Blank]: Wait, why are they laughing?? Just discussing veggies and they’re giggling?
[Wife Is a Crybaby]: They can’t even laugh now? Since when is joy a crime?
As Luo Yao moved to enter, Lin Ran scooped her up and set her back on clean ground.
"Wait here. I’ll pick." He knelt to brush dirt off her white shoes—a moment instantly immortalized by the cameras.
Luo Yao’s lips curled into a smile. Forget the audience—she was melting.
Lin Ran worked the plots, gathering eggplants, beans, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, scallions—enough for lunch and dinner.
All while Luo Yao watched her man hustle in the dirt.
"Yao, I grabbed extras for dinner. Limited ingredients, but this’ll do."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
