Part 2The Secretly Smitten Superstar

The show invited three couples and opted for a 24/7 live-stream format.

Before filming began, the director assigned a rough script and conflict points for each couple.

But considering my decade-long lack of acting progress and Arthur's massive status, the director ultimately decided to let Arthur and me freestyle.

The moment I dragged my two small suitcases into the camera's view, the viewer count and live comments skyrocketed:

[Here they come! The most dramatic couple has finally arrived.]

[LMAO, the contrast is brutal. The other couples either held hands or walked side-by-side. Not only is Arthur not walking with Elena, but he's making her carry her own luggage.]

[Tsk, so what if she schemed her way into a rich family? She's still just a glorified maid with no dignity. They didn't even have a proper wedding announcement. The Vance family probably doesn't even acknowledge her.]

It wasn't just the live chat mocking me.

Chloe, the female half of another couple, also noticed my disheveled state and threw a subtle jab:

"Elena, a woman's hands are very delicate. Liam never lets me carry heavy things. If people didn't know better, they'd think you were Arthur's hired help."

Chloe and I debuted around the same time.

She was highly competitive and loved comparing herself to others.

When she married the director, Liam Sterling, she posted endless updates showing off her entry into "high society."

But the Sterling family was nothing compared to the Vance Group.

So when my marriage to Arthur was exposed, it was understandable that she was furious.

However, I was here to make money, not to engage in catfights.

I couldn't be bothered with her.

The commentators in the studio had probably done their homework and accepted my persona as the Vance family's despised punching bag.

Seeing my silence, they assumed I was swallowing my pride and looked at me with deep sympathy.

Live Chat:

[LOL, Chloe and Liam are on a divorce show because he's 'too possessive'? Are they sure they aren't just here to show off? The gold digger must be so jealous seeing our Chloe so happy.]

[It's her own fault for shamelessly clinging to an arranged marriage from their grandfathers. If she's miserable now, she only has her own greed to blame.]

Just then, the camera panned.

Arthur wasn't looking as relaxed and carefree as everyone thought.

He was struggling to push five massive, connected suitcases, arriving late to the scene.

The other guests, who had been whispering and enjoying the show, froze for a second before rushing over to help, joking:

"Arthur, aren't you a minimalist? You've gotten fancy lately! Do you need help throwing this trash bag away?"

Arthur coldly dodged their hands, looking displeased.

I pushed through the crowd:

"Uh, those suitcases are all mine. And that's not a trash bag, that's Arthur's luggage."

Live Chat:

[I'm dying! Turns out Arthur is the 'maid' here.]

[So relatable! When my husband and I travel, all his stuff fits in one plastic bag.]

[What's so funny? Arthur looks furious, he clearly didn't want to do it! To make a seasoned actor show his true feelings like that, this girl really is something else.]

[Arthur, stop holding back! Explode already! Can't wait to see Elena get rejected daily.]

The show started stirring up drama immediately, having us draw straws to decide if we'd sleep in separate rooms.

Me: "Can we skip the drawing? Arthur and I will just choose—"

Before I could say "separate," the usually silent man cut me off. "I'll draw."

Chloe feigned sympathy:

"It's okay, Elena. I know you want to use this chance to share a room with Arthur. Maybe you'll get lucky."

The live chat found this hilarious:

[Judging by how disgusted Arthur usually looks, I bet they've never even shared a bed. That's why Elena is so desperate. What a pathetic rich wife.]

[Did anyone else notice? Arthur just secretly glared at Elena like five or six times in the last ten seconds. Those looks were lethal. This is too funny.]
