Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Two Under One Roof V: The nation’s first lifestyle live-stream variety show, “Two Under One Roof”, is scheduled for release on May 1. He is a powerful talent-based actor @ShiSuiV, and she is a new-generation singer full of youthful vitality @XiangYi. Return to your true aspirations and aim for beauty. This summer, be there or be square on @XingchenAPP!
After the official announcement was released, Shi Sui’s studio was the first to forward it. They also added the text: “This is Shi Yingdi’s first variety show. Shisui sisters, don’t miss out~!”
Shisui* sisters was the nickname of Shi Sui’s fans, taken from a homophony of his name.
Once his studio stamped the approval, the fans who had been bickering suddenly became overjoyed like children on New Year’s Eve.
—[Ahhhhhhhhhhhh he’s finally open for business!]
—[It’s Shisui’s first time filming a variety show! I’m going crazy, you can hear my goose cackle from five hundred meters away]

—[A live stream! It’s going to be streamed! Does that mean I can see my Shi Yingdi 24 hours a day?! It’s just an app right? I’ll download it okay!! ]
The reaction of a passers-by:
—[Oh, I’ve heard of Shi Sui; he’s the film king. Who is this Xiang Yi, though? Is there someone in the entertainment industry with this name?]
—[It must be hard to be a social media manager. In order to give this vase the title of a “New Generation Singer”, he must have gone bald in the process]
—[A singer? This vase fairy has released music?!]
—[Haha yes, she has. Let me direct you to this crummy stream platform’s ghost genre. I heard that she pissed off a dozen autotune editors recording that one song]

—[Anyone calling her a singer is sugarcoating it. She’s just an 18th-tier variety show figure. She has no entertainment value at all and is awkward as hell. Plus, she’s always crying, I’m so annoyed by her already. Every time she appears, I always put my video on 2X speed. Every time I see her, I feel physically unwell]
Suddenly, the popularity of “Two Under One Roof” began to rise before the show had even started. There were even several search entries about it.

At the Xiang family.
Xiang Yi received the WeChat message from Ah Nan telling her to repost the official announcement.
Without changing her expression, she took a sip of her medicine and opened the app.
She didn’t use Weibo often and wasn’t familiar with how to operate it. It took her awhile to figure it out.
[Xiang Yi V]: Be there or be square.
Several people were eyeing her activity. Seeing her post on Weibo, they immediately began to stir.
—[??? That’s all??]
—[Does she have to be so cold, not even sending an emoji? Is trying to seem cool? ]

-—[Heh? She wants to ‘be there or be square’ with our gege? Are you worthy??]
—[Carrying my Shisui away from her. Our Shisui is only in a cooperative business relationship with her, don’t cue him]
—[To some people, beware! There’s a guideline for creating publicity stunts: if you want to leech our Ying Di’s popularity, you can kneel and say goodbye now!]

—[After an in-depth analysis of the ‘be there or be square’ comment used by the vase fairy: 1. Declare sovereignty, as you bunch must be deathly jealous that I get to film with him; 2. Recalling on past events and reminding everyone of the scandal she had caused by entering Shi Sui’s room; 3. Showing her love from a distance, pretending to be cold and indifferent to attract Shi Sui’s attention! Bleh! I really think she’s one of those really schemy and manipulative girls]

Xiang Yi read a few comments at random before nonchalantly tossing her phone aside.
She’d always been someone who didn’t care about the opinions of others.
She wasn’t going to take to heart any of the mockery and words that people had used on the person who had inhabited her body this past year.
Live your life for yourself, not for others to see.

Just when the netizens were scrutinizing Xiang Yi, the fans noticed Shi Sui’s Following count had changed from 0 to 1.
Eh? Who was the first person that Shisui cutie followed?
Countless people clicked it open excitedly only to be blinded by the words “Xiang Yi”!
* Translator’s Notes: This homophony of Shi Sui’s name (Shisui) means ‘ten years old’, so they are actually called ‘ten-year old sisters’. The direct translation didn’t feel appropriate in context, so I’ve decided to maintain the original Shisui.
