《Love Cottage》Female Lead Number One Bai Baozhu – Green Tea Bitch Confirmed! Fish Pond Manager Confirmed!#
After the third and fourth episodes of 《Love Cottage》 aired, its keywords exploded to the number one spot on the hot search list and continued to stay there.
The hype kept growing higher and higher.
Countless gossip-loving netizens all joined in on this wave of discussion (cyberbullying).
After all, 《Love Cottage》 was a recent, massively popular, phenomenon-level variety show!
Due to the pandemic, the vast majority of netizens were forced to stay home. It was precisely this opportunity that allowed the domestically first dating reality show, which already had excellent production quality—《Love Cottage》—to break the ratings and click-through rate records for variety shows in recent years from its very first day of broadcast! It successfully captured everyone’s attention!
Furthermore, in response to the audience’s requests, starting from the third episode, it pioneered another domestic first: a variety show broadcast consecutively during the prime time slots on both Saturday and Sunday!
It was no exaggeration to say that during the pandemic outbreak, the entire nation was watching this amateur dating reality show, 《Love Cottage》, and shipping the CPs with genuine, heartfelt emotion.
They were truly worried sick over the several male and female guests on the show, whose looks were completely on par with celebrities.
There were all kinds of fans: girlfriend fans, boyfriend fans, mommy fans, daddy fans, and so on and so forth.
They completely turned a dating show into a celebrity-chasing show.
Of course, where there were amateur guests being adored, there were also those being hated on.
And the one being hated on was the first to appear among the three female guests on 《Love Cottage》—Female Lead Number One, Bai Baozhu.
Bai Baozhu was beautiful, had a sweet voice, excellent temperament, fair skin, pretty features, and long legs. She was absolutely the most gorgeous goddess on 《Love Cottage》. Right from the start, she became the first crush of all the male guests, securing three love text messages.
Consequently, in the show’s post-production editing, they also leaned more towards Bai Baozhu, this Female Lead Number One who had captured all the male guests’ hearts, and were not stingy at all in giving her the ‘big female lead’ screen time.
This made Bai Baozhu, the Female Lead Number One, the undisputed female lead of the show, enjoying the editing treatment of a protagonist.
Logically speaking, with Bai Baozhu’s top-tier configuration, she should have been the most popular with the audience and had the most fans.
The problem was, this Female Lead Number One just couldn’t get her act together.
First, she herself looked down on the other male and female guests on the show and kept making mistakes. Then, there were the bitch-identifying expert celebrity observers and the audience.
Thus, one wrong step led to another, and she went from a big female lead persona that should have gained countless fans to, after just two episodes aired, a green tea bitch supporting character, harvesting a huge pile of anti-fans.
The two latest aired episodes, the third and fourth, completely drove away what little neutral audience appeal she had left.
After the latest two episodes aired, she had already been cursed onto the hot search list by countless viewers and stayed there for quite a while!
I was really shocked by Bai Baozhu’s shameless move! What the hell is snatching gifts???
【Yeah, so rude! Female Lead Number Two Su Han already said they’d use rock-paper-scissors to choose the gifts, but this green tea actually just grabbed them???】
Even though I know both Bai Baozhu and Su Han like Male Lead Number Three and both wanted to choose his gift, Bai Baozhu’s approach really ruins any favorability! In contrast, Female Lead Number Two has such high emotional intelligence and manners.
【Although Bai Baozhu is prettier than Su Han, when it comes to inner qualities and EQ, Female Lead Number Two leaves Bai Baozhu in the dust!】
Bai Baozhu really seems more and more like an empty-headed pretty face the more you watch! She just keeps ruining any favorability! What a waste of that fairy-like face of hers.
【Hah! Who says she’s empty-headed? I think she’s quite skilled at flirting with men! Which male guest in the entire 《Love Cottage》 isn’t a fish in her pond? Today she goes to the underground audio-visual room to watch a movie with this one, tomorrow she goes to the laundry room to do laundry with that one, the day after she has coffee and listens to records with another one. Even the newly arrived Male Lead Number Four got flirted away by her, didn’t he?】
【Exactly! I just don’t get it! How can the eyes of such a high-quality group of male guests be so blind??? Aren’t the other two female guests great??? How can they all like that green tea Bai Baozhu? This show must have a script! It’s so frustrating to watch!】
【There absolutely must be a script! Want to bet? Next episode, Male Lead Number Four’s date will definitely be Female Lead Number One again!】
【Hah! Obviously, Male Lead Number Four sent his love text message to Bai Baozhu. There’s no suspense about next episode. If it weren’t for the other six handsome guys and beautiful girls supporting my CP-shipping, I’d want to drop this variety show.】
Production Team, I heard you film and broadcast simultaneously. I’m begging you, be decent people, stop editing that big female lead script! Aren’t Female Lead Number Two and Female Lead Number Three great? If you keep editing in that disgusting green tea bitch Female Lead Number One, your show is going to fail sooner or later!
【Hah, don’t worry, the production team definitely won’t change. After all, Female Lead Number One is a rich white beauty with a family that owns mines, a real RMB player.】
No way? Is Bai Baozhu really a rich white beauty? Any proof? Just because the clothes she wears are all big brands doesn’t necessarily mean her family owns mines.
【I heard that after the pandemic outbreak, the half-mountain villa the production team switched to belongs to one of the female guests. And not just the entire villa, but the whole mountain belongs to that female guest.】
【Ah! Female Lead Number Two and Female Lead Number Three are only from well-off middle-class families. It seems Bai Baozhu’s rich white beauty persona is confirmed.】
Sure enough, an RMB player! No wonder she has so much screen time! So disgusting!
【That’s just hearsay, what kind of confirmation is that? If you ask me, I also heard Bai Green Tea’s family has no money at all! She’s just crafting a rich white beauty persona to attract fans!】
【With Bai Baozhu being that flirty green tea, no matter what persona she crafts, she won’t get fans! Anti-fans, maybe!】
【I hereby petition with my blood, kneeling and begging the production team to replace Bai Baozhu!!!】
【I second the blood-written petition, kneeling and begging the production team to replace Bai Baozhu!!!】
【I third…】
……
“Chief Director Qi… Do you think we should edit less of Bai Baozhu’s screen time from now on?”
Qi Gaofei frowned deeply as he looked at the tablet computer his assistant handed him, scanning the toxic comments under their show’s Weibo account. He let out a light sigh.
“What is all this nonsense? Which guest gets more screen time on our show doesn’t depend on the guests themselves? If the tastes of the four male guests weren’t so unanimous, if they didn’t all like Bai Baozhu, how would she have so much screen time?”
As the chief director of this amateur dating reality show 《Love Cottage》, Qi Gaofei was truly worried sick over this program.
Before filming started, he worried the huge investment would flop and they wouldn’t recoup costs.
After the show aired and became a hit, he started worrying about its reputation.
Not to mention they encountered a pandemic during filming…
So, this chief director of 《Love Cottage》 really had it tough.
Especially since, although the show was a massive hit now, and every episode dominated the top spot on the hot search list after airing, its public reception was really not that good!
And the chief culprit causing the entire production team’s poor reception was the Female Lead Number One, Bai Baozhu, whom they had positioned as the ‘female lead’.
“This Bai Baozhu, she really managed to drag down our entire show’s rating all by herself…”
Qi Gaofei couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t have much favorability for this Female Lead Number One guest either.
But he couldn’t help it—she had captured all the male guests with her face in the early stages!
Fortunately though…
“Forget it, forget it. Bai Baozhu won’t be able to stir up trouble for much longer anyway. She’s been getting zero votes recently. No male guests are choosing her anymore, so we don’t need to worry about her screen time either.”
Thinking of this, the middle-aged uncle Qi Gaofei couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. This Bai Baozhu, who went from a universally adored heartthrob big female lead to a universally disliked supporting character, was truly something.
She clearly had such a great hand of cards but played them terribly.
He really didn’t know what to say. Especially considering, after the show ended, if the real identities of the male guests were exposed, wouldn’t Bai Baozhu regret it so much she’d want to strangle her current self?
While Qi Gaofei was mentally complaining about Bai Baozhu like this, he had no idea that the protagonist of his complaints was already gone…
Well! Though it wasn’t exactly that she was gone. To be precise, the owner of the body had changed souls.
“Splash—!”
As the woman rose from the Jacuzzi bathtub, pale red water droplets dripped and splattered all over the floor.
The woman rising from the bathtub was none other than the Female Lead Number One, Bai Baozhu, who had just been complained about by the chief director of 《Love Cottage》.
However, the one who died in the bathtub was Bai Baozhu. But the one who climbed out of the bathtub alive… was no longer Bai Baozhu.
At the very least, the soul was no longer the same.
“Where… is this place…?”
Gang Zhu looked bewilderedly at the wounds on her wrist, her eyes full of confusion.
Just a moment ago, she had been at her enthronement ceremony, waiting for the crown and dragon robe to be placed upon her, to become the next monarch of the Female-Dominant Kingdom.
How did she end up naked in this bizarre, kaleidoscopic place the next moment…???
Wait! This didn’t seem to be her body!
Her skin wasn’t this white, this tender, this… man-like!
Coming back to her senses, Gang Zhu stared in utter shock at her own fair, delicate, slender arm. She subconsciously swallowed.
Seeing a strange object in this weird place that looked like a bronze mirror, she quickly walked over.
As a result, she saw a ‘man’. A ‘man’ as beautiful as a heavenly fairy! A ‘man’ more beautiful than the number one beauty of their Female-Dominant Kingdom! A delicate and frail ‘man’ who looked like he’d topple over with a single push!
“This… is me???”
Gang Zhu stretched out her hand in utter shock towards the mirror. The beauty in the mirror repeated her movement.
Oh! My heavens! This beauty was her???
To think that she, the mighty, most ‘womanly’ (in the matriarchal sense), highest martial prowess crown princess of the Female-Dominant Kingdom, about to ascend the throne, had transmigrated into a delicate and weak, beautiful, fairy-like ‘man’???
“Ahhh—!”
This was really…
Absolutely fantastic!
