They’re always the complete package of a delinquent brother and a vase-like sister, serving as a contrast to highlight the tacit understanding and feelings between the protagonist brother and sister.

Because of this reality show, the original protagonist, who was developing fairly well, was heavily criticized. Worse off than her was her forgotten brother, a teenager in his rebellious years, whose death photos were spread all over the internet. After the first episode’s recording, people went to his school to block him and make him apologize to Lu Ming.

In the show, Jiang Qu often lost his temper for no reason and even hit Lu Ming. Although it wasn’t broadcasted, someone managed to leak the behind-the-scenes footage.

Jiang Qu became the target of many attacks from countless malicious people aimed at this fifteen-year-old child.

Unlike Jiang Lai, Jiang Qu was a sensitive and paranoid kid. After the show aired, one night upon seeing a comment left for him, he jumped from the twenty-sixth floor while everyone else was asleep.

At fifteen, he ended his short life because of a reality show.

Subsequently, Jiang Lai’s fate wasn’t much better.

Some people online manipulated public opinion, saying that Jiang Lai forced her brother onto the show just for fame. Without her, Jiang Qu wouldn’t have suffered so much internet violence.

Jiang Lai couldn’t argue back; her brother’s death had already left her dazed and lost. Now, the overwhelming criticism online and her mother’s constant crying and blaming left Jiang Lai, who was already tormented beyond her limits, hopeless.

This family was already destroyed.

Her mother’s attitude towards her worsened due to her brother’s death, turning a once harmonious family into complete hell.

Already suffering from depression, Jiang Lai eventually couldn’t bear this multi-faceted blow.

She chose the same way to die as her brother.

The forgotten one’s life ended.

Because of this, the show’s popularity soared at one point.

Protagonist Lu Huan even stood up to publicly oppose internet violence, expressing regret and sorrow for the loss of Jiang Lai and her brother.

Afterward, she became an ambassador against internet violence, and her brother Lu Ming filmed a PSA for the cause.

The brother and sister duo became popular again due to the PSA.

"I won’t talk to you about those plots related to the male protagonist; there’s nothing much to say because that’s not related to you anymore."

"Hmm."

Jiang Lai remained silent.

"What are you thinking?"

"Stay away from the protagonists, or you’ll become unfortunate."

Little Buding sneered.

"I’ve known that for a long time. Alright, let’s release the mission now.

Task one: Save the original protagonist and her brother from being forgotten.

Task two: Resolve the psychological knots and conflicts between the brother and sister. The novel doesn’t explain much, so you’ll have to discover their issues on your own.

Neither task should be difficult for you, so there are no golden fingers in this world. You’ll have to handle it yourself."

"Even without a golden finger, you go on and on. Just mute yourself."

Little Buding, used to Jiang Lai’s bad temperament, left with a quick "Good luck" and went offline in a hurry.

After all, there’s no real danger in modern society, so Little Buding wasn’t worried Jiang Lai would get herself killed.

After digesting the plot, Jiang Lai closed her eyes and fell asleep.

This body felt strange, with the mind uncontrollably thinking about all sorts of things, especially at night.

Luckily, Jiang Lai was strong enough to quickly suppress these negative emotions.

The next morning, Jiang Lai was awakened by the sound of an alarm clock.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above.

The lamp overhead swayed precariously, the wind whistled in her ears, and the door downstairs banged open and shut with the wind.

At this point in time, it’s the second day of the reality show filming, so the guests are all staying in the same dilapidated building. Across from them is a long lake, and behind them is an endless field of wheat, with a patch of wild grass beside it that hasn’t been tended for years.

To emphasize the word "survival," the show provided the guests with dusty, hard board beds.

When choosing rooms, Lu Ming simply said his sister was afraid of heights and picked the relatively better first-floor room with better hygiene.

The brother and sister were always depicted as straightforward, speaking their minds with high emotional intelligence, never pandering to others.

So when Jiang Lai and Jiang Qu had to accept the dirtiest attic on the second floor, neither of them looked happy. Jiang Qu clearly wanted to fight for another room on the first floor but was preemptively taken by another pair of sisters.

Not getting a good room and being unable to wash up after a tiring day, Jiang Qu naturally didn’t look pleased.

Thus, another round of complaints began.

[If you want it, fight for it; everyone is upfront about it. Don’t act like you’re being bullied.]

[This brother and sister pair really put on airs; everything they do seems exhausting to watch.]

[Why do I feel like they’re not very familiar with each other, not the slightest bit of emotion?]

[You’re on a show, so who’s going to indulge your young master’s temper? Can we give this brother and sister pair less screen time?] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Fortunately, during the show, communication devices weren’t allowed, so Jiang Qu didn’t know about the public’s evaluation of him.

A new day began.

There were still twenty days until the first episode finished recording.

Altogether a twenty-one-day survival challenge, the program was meticulous about everything, stating outright that they wouldn’t provide supplies; everything had to be earned through games or labor.

After the bell rang, Jiang Lai got up.

She hadn’t eaten the night before, and now her stomach hurt from hunger. Looking downstairs, everyone’s faces were filled with hunger.

"Good morning, everyone."

Even after a tiring day, the ever-energetic Lu Huan greeted each guest.

"The show prepared some food for us, but it’s not easy to handle."

Just as everyone wondered what was so difficult about it, Lu Huan pointed outside.

"Look outside,"

The previously overgrown area had been cleared overnight, and there was a wheat field, a pond, and a beehive that had suddenly appeared, as well as a vegetable patch with plenty of vegetables.

The ingredients were indeed prepared.

But the wheat was still in the field, fish and shrimp still in the water, and the vegetables had just matured.

Having a meal would be very challenging.

At this point, the program team announced.

"Your meals are hidden inside the house. There are a total of four cards, each specifying your breakfast and lunch for today. Find the cards and acquire ingredients according to the card’s instructions.

Tip: Every grain is hard-earned. To obtain the ingredients, you’ll rely on your own skills."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately started looking in every corner of the room.

Except for Jiang Lai, Jiang Qu. Lu Huan, and Lu Ming, the brother and sister pair.

The other main pair were sisters, an unknown actress Han Li with her ten-year-old sister Han Lu.

And a comedy actress Qu Yongjia with her twelve-year-old sister Qu Yongwei.

The latter pair of sisters had lively personalities, slightly overweight, and they gained many fans through the show.

Everyone started looking for the cards.
