Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, warming the silk sheets tangled around Lin Xiaoxiao’s legs. She woke slowly, aware of the heavy arm draped across her waist. Gu Siye slept beside her, his usual icy expression softened in repose. His breathing was steady, dark hair slightly tousled, making him look almost approachable.
Memories of last night flooded back — the heated kisses, his skilled hands exploring her body, the way he had stopped just before crossing the final line. The tension had been electric, and the live audience had loved every second. Lin Xiaoxiao smiled to herself. The system had rewarded her generously.
[Ding! Gu Siye’s favorability +30. Current total: 45/100.]
[Popularity points: +12,000. Overall female guest ranking: 3rd!]
[Charm +2. Skin refined, figure enhanced. New charm level: 7/10.]
She slipped quietly from the bed and padded to the bathroom. In the mirror, her reflection looked brighter — eyes more sparkling, waist slimmer, skin glowing. The system’s buffs were already paying off.
A cheerful knock echoed through the villa. “Good morning, couples! Thirty minutes until the first group activity — the Chemistry Test in the main hall. Cameras are live!”
Lin Xiaoxiao chose her outfit carefully: a soft white off-shoulder sweater that clung to her curves and tiny denim shorts that highlighted her legs. She left her long hair loose and added light makeup. When she stepped out, Gu Siye was buttoning a black shirt. His gaze darkened appreciatively.
“You look different this morning,” he said.
“Better?” She twirled. “We need high ratings, Mr. Gu. The audience wants chemistry.”
He stepped closer, tilting her chin up. “Last night wasn’t enough?”
Her heart fluttered, but she met his eyes boldly. “It was a strong opening. Today we outshine the other couples. Can you pretend to be madly in love with me on camera?”
A faint smirk appeared. “Pretending?”
Before she could answer, the system chimed.
[Main Mission: Dominate the Chemistry Test. Rank top 3 couples for bonus rewards. Failure deducts 5,000 popularity points.]
[System Shop unlocked! Spend points on: Fertility Potion (10,000), Allure Boost (5,000), Scumbag-Repelling Talisman (3,000), and more.]
They walked to the grand hall holding hands. The room had been decorated with heart balloons and demonstration beds. Nine other couples waited. The host, Zhang Wei, bounced energetically on stage.
“Last night’s ratings shattered records thanks to Gu Siye and Lin Xiaoxiao! Their princess carry had over 50 million viewers!”
Bullet screens exploded across the monitors:
【Xiaoxiao is my new goddess! Bold and adorable!】
【Gu Siye smiled? This is love!】
【#SiyeXiao sailing strong!】
Among the couples stood Li Chen, an arrogant second-generation heir, paired with delicate model Zhao Qingqing. Li Chen sneered at Lin Xiaoxiao. “The blacklisted actress climbed into a tycoon’s bed fast. Desperate much?”
Zhao Qingqing giggled. “Some people will do anything for money. I heard you owed millions.”
The room quieted. Bullet screens split:
【Li Chen and Zhao Qingqing are so toxic!】
【Xiaoxiao, fight back!】
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned sweetly into Gu Siye. “Jealous, Mr. Li? Not everyone gets a princess carry on night one. Some probably argued about the couch.”
Gu Siye’s voice was icy. “Focus on your own failing performance. My wife and I need no advice from losers.”
The word “wife” caused a stir. Lin Xiaoxiao’s pulse quickened.
The host jumped in. “Let’s begin the Chemistry Test! Three challenges: synchronized heartbeat dance, blindfolded kiss guess, and 60-second intimate confession. Highest score wins private dinner tonight!”
Challenges started. The idol couple was sweet but lacked fire. The athlete pair was energetic yet clumsy. Li Chen and Zhao Qingqing performed flashily, but it felt fake.
For the dance, soft music played. Gu Siye pulled Lin Xiaoxiao close. Their bodies moved in perfect harmony — every dip and spin smooth and intimate. She laughed breathlessly, eyes locked on his. The audience gasped.
Blindfolded kiss: She was blindfolded. Gu Siye found her lips effortlessly, starting soft then deepening with passion. The system dinged.
[Ding! Favorability +10. Total: 55/100.]
[Chemistry score: 98/100!]
On the love seat for confessions, cameras zoomed in. Lin Xiaoxiao spoke first, voice soft. “Mr. Gu, when you carried me last night, something changed. You seem cold, but there’s warmth inside. I want to discover every layer… and maybe build a family here.”
Gu Siye took her hands, eyes intense. “Xiaoxiao, you surprised me. Your boldness, your fire… I enjoy this. Let’s win together — not just for the show, but to see what happens when cameras stop.”
Applause thundered. Bullet screens went wild:
【Real feelings? I’m screaming!】
【#SiyeXiao number one!】
【Li Chen looks furious!】
They scored 285/300 — first place by far.
Reward: candlelit garden dinner for two, plus premium shop access.
During break, Lin Xiaoxiao checked her points: 28,450. She bought an Allure Boost and Baby Luck Charm.
Gu Siye watched her. “You treat this like a game.”
“It is,” she replied, stepping close. “But one we both win. Unless you’re taking it seriously?”
He pulled her into his arms. “Maybe I am. Once I decide something, I don’t let go.”
[Ding! Favorability +20. Total: 75/100.]
[Hidden mission: Make Gu Siye fall in love in 30 days. Reward: Permanent pregnancy guarantee + massive popularity surge.]
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled against his chest. Afternoon brought the “baby planning” workshop. She already envisioned a luxurious nursery.
As they headed out, Gu Siye murmured, “Tonight after dinner… no stopping.”
She blushed but nodded. “Deal, husband.”
Live views hit 80 million. New trends exploded:
#SiyeXiaoChemistryTestDomination
#LinXiaoxiaoRisingStar
From desperate cannon fodder to top star in two days. Rivals whispered, but she felt unstoppable. With the system, Gu Siye by her side, and real sparks growing, the baby-making journey had only just begun.
