CH 1

With a flash of white light in front of her eyes, Jiang Ting found herself suddenly in an unfamiliar place. Above the gorgeous stage, a high-pitched announcement sounded from a black loudspeaker.

“…Welcome to the first season of “National Couple”, and now we have the Chief Instructor, Zhang Ning, the National Queen…”

“…Dance Instructor, Seven Fox Captain Lin Ershu.”

“…Vocal Tutor, He Xi, the Prince of Love Songs.”

“…Arranger Tutor, Gold Medal Producer Wen Ya.”

Immediately afterwards, with a 'bang', countless fireworks rose around, and the four mentors who had countless fans or high status in the entertainment industry slowly appeared on the stage.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Jiang Ting's ear-pierced heard the scream again, she glanced at the girls around her without any trace, and her brows frowned even deeper.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Jiang Ting's consciousness.

[Ultimate mission: Become the champion of the first season of "National Couple", Reward: 100 points, 10-year vacation period.]

Jiang Ting felt the frenetic atmosphere around her, and communicated with the system in her consciousness calmly.

"Can I receive the plot now?"

[Transmitting, please receive...]

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Ting looked at the watch in her hand, and her thoughts drifted away.

****

Jiang Ting is an orphan from the earth, 19 years old this year. She has loved singing and dancing since she was a child, and was successfully selected when a well-known star-making company selected trainees. Since then, the company has trained her as an ace for 10 years.

Just as she was about to make her debut, the agent got carried away with pride and took her back to the company while driving drunkly, and the two went to Huangquan* together.

*the Yellow Springs/the underworld of Chinese mythology

Feeling the car fragments stabbed to her body, Jiang Ting felt that her death was really wrong. She was lying on her back on the back seat, the corners of her mouth kept surging with salty blood stains, and she said in a low voice: "MMP*'s, Zheng... Dayou, if I be... ghosts will not let you go."

*Chinese slang = MMP, Ma Mai Pi, Motherfucker

Zheng Dayou is her dead ghost agent. Seeing the other side lying motionless in the driver's seat, Jiang Ting guessed that he was completely dead, but Jiang Ting felt that he could still be rescued a bit.

A few minutes later, the ambulance came and Jiang Ting was unconscious.

In the emergency room, the doctors and nurses were sweating on their foreheads. Her internal organs were bleeding profusely, and the bleeding point could not be found. In the end, she lost too much blood, and the ECG monitor became a straight line.

The 19-year-old young girl died on the operating table just like that, and the rescue failed.

But, no one knew, just when Jiang Ting died, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind, saying that she could live by signing a contract with the system.

Adhering to the principle of 'it is better to live than to die', Jiang Ting signed the contract with the system.

After signing the contract, Jiang Ting knew that the system was the product of the high-level Planet Moore. It specially picked up souls like Jiang Ting from the gaps in time and space, and asked them to sign the contract to bring happiness as spiritual food to the Moore people.

The content of the contract signed by Jiang Ting at this time is to participate in the most popular variety show "National Couple" in the lower plane and win the championship.

"National Couple" is a two-person variety show. The program team carefully selected 20 trainees from entertainment companies across the country, including ten boys, ten girls, and they will form a team of two person, and the most popular team wins the championship.

Just as Jiang Ting was recalling her experiences before her death in her previous life, someone tapped her shoulder.

"What should I do? She is my idol, I can't stand it anymore." The girl next to Jiang Ting, who was wearing a pink training suit with double ponytails, said excitedly.

Jiang Ting looked up and saw Zhang Ning, the National Queen of the nation who was the Chief Instructor, stepping on a pair of seven-centimeter-high black high-heeled shoes, holding a microphone, flaming red lips slightly open, and easily controlling the audience.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the episode of "National Couple", I'm the tutor Zhang Ning." After speaking, Zhang Ning bowed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a group of girls also hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Hello, Teacher." Seeing this, Jiang Ting also followed the trend and bowed.

"This summer's hottest variety show, "National Couple", will consist of a boy and a girl, and the national producer in front of the TV will cast a precious vote for you. The contestant with the most votes will become the champion and will win the prize. …”

Zhang Ning then talked about a lot of rewards, such as big-name endorsements, gold brokers, top domestic entertainment companies... and rewards of one million yuan.

Even Jiang Ting heard a girl beside her gasped and muttered.

"My god, whoever wins the championship will really rise to the top."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ning continued to announce, "...Girls, now, please invite your future partners."

After finished speaking, Lin Ershu, the Captain of Seven Fox, who is currently a popular dance instructor, led ten male trainees out.

Under the warm lighting, ten handsome boys in light blue training suits stood out one by one like well-behaved babies.

The boys occupy the left side of the stage, the girls are just on the right, and the four tutors stand in the middle, which looks quite spectacular.

Immediately, Zhang Ning's sharp eyes scanned at the group of boys and girls below, she said coldly.

“The competition is divided into four rounds in total. In each round, two men and two women will be eliminated, and the least popular player voted by the national producer will be eliminated. In the final, there will be two groups of PK*. When eliminated, it means that the partner will be re-selected next time, and at the same time, the program team will select the most popular partner from all the producers to be adopted as the partner for the next round of competition.”

*PK = Player Killer, to challenge/defeat the enemy

Jiang Ting couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard the instructor’s stern words, and she even heard the exclamations of the players on the scene.

“Too cruel.”

“It's a little scary, what should I do?”

Immediately afterwards, the director pointed at Zhang Ning and held up a whiteboard with the words 'idol disqualified' written on it. Zhang Ning paused, looked at the boys and girls in front of him, and said coldly.

“The "National Couple" selects the best male and female idols in the entertainment industry in the future. During the competition, all personal relationships are prohibited. Once found out, they will be expelled immediately, and the eight major entertainment companies in China will never hire them. I hope you will not do things that make idols disqualified, and try to cherish the hard-won opportunities.”

The instructor's warning is not edited on the show, but this rule does exist.

As soon as Zhang Ning finished speaking, Jiang Ting took a few sneaky glances, and saw that some boys and girls turned pale with fright. These words are like a clear warning, if any of you dare to fall in love during the competition, you will be banned by the entire entertainment industry.

For this kind of mixed male-female talent show, the program team is also worried that these boys and girls can't stand the temptation and taste the forbidden fruit. Therefore, the 'good words' are said first, lest anyone knowingly commit a crime. What's more, if these men and women really have feelings for each other, wouldn't the program team spend money nearly 100 million in vain?

Seeing that she had finished saying what she had to say, Zhang Ning took the book card and began to announce the rules of the first round.

"Now, we are officially entering the first round of the competition, the 'show time' qualification stage. Everyone will have 60 seconds of talent show time, and the four mentors will be ranked '1-10' ranking selection for men and women. The ranking will determine whether you have the right to choose a high-ranking or low-ranking in the first round, this is the rule of this round.”

"Next, you will have an hour of stage make-up time, Trainees, please work hard."

After the instructor Zhang Ning finished speaking, an executive assistant led 20 trainees to the backstage in a hurry.

There are two dressing rooms in the backstage, which are used by male and female trainees respectively, and each dressing room has three makeup artists, and everyone is eager to use them.

In the dressing room, seeing the contestants scrambling like black corns, Jiang Ting sat quietly, worrying about what she should do in the next game.

She thought about it for a while before she remembered the newcomer gift package that the system gave her before she signed the contract: 100 points.

She quickly communicated with the system in her mind: "System, didn't you say I had 100 initial points? But how should I use those points?"

[The host can used it to increase their own talent value, and can also buy game music, dance and other goods separately in the mall.]

After listening, Jiang Ting quickly opened the talent value in her mind. There are various options, such as singing, dancing, funny, rap, musicality, stage presence, vocal range, etc. Jiang Ting clicked and looked at a few items, and found that she herself is not bad at all.

[Player: Jiang Ting

Singing Talent: 75

Dance Talent: 89

Range Talent: 73

Stage Talent: 85]

These important options are all passed, it seems that she has not practiced the basic skills in her ten-year trainee career in vain, and there is still something.

She look to the system mall again, and there were countless types of TV, movies, variety shows, music, etc. She didn't have time to explore them one by one, clicked on the music option, and saw a familiar song with sharp eyes, it was the songs and dances that she often practiced during her trainee days.

“System, I want to exchange for “Side to Side.””

[The host currently has 100 initial points, and the purchase of this product requires 10 points. Do you want to buy it?]

"Yes."

A few seconds later, the lyrics, singing, dancing, creation, inspiration, etc. of "Side to Side" emerged in Jiang Ting's mind.

Jiang Ting doesn't know if the system has dug into the composer's brain, and even knew why the original songwriter created this song, but it doesn't prevent her 'admiration' for the system.

"Does your Moore system have a deal with the original songwriter of this song, or what? How do you even know about the inspiration for this song when she broke up with her ex-boyfriend?"

The system paused for a while before speaking quietly.

[According to what you people on Earth say, all the products in this mall have purchased the copyright of the original work, and they are fully authorized by the original author to this system. This is also the creative experience of the original author who traded to this system.]

Jiang Ting was speechless for a moment, and then spent 1 point to let the system replace her original accompaniment in the program group with the 60-second "Side to Side" accompaniment, and she felt relieved.

****

An hour later, when the contestants were ready, the chief instructor Zhang Ning said solemnly.

"Next, there will be a 'show time' qualification competition. First of all, all the contestants are asked to select the order of performances and compete as in order."

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, a man and a woman came up from the program group, each holding a non-transparent box in their hands, walked to the male and female contestants on both sides, from left to right, each person take a small ball from it.

Counting from left to right, Jiang Ting stand at the fourth place, but the order of performances that she got drawn was the eighth. For a moment, she didn’t know whether this order is good or not.

After the individual performance order of men and women is determined, each boy and girl will send one person to guess the game. The team that wins the game will have the right to decide whether the whole group will perform first or last.

After the game, the girls’ team won the boxing, the girls discussed for a while and decided to play the qualification competition first.

You must know that if the performance of the starters is not very good, the tutors may loosen their hands a little when they have not yet judged all participants. And, this is a variety show, the first performer may be more popular.

Considering all aspects, the girls group decided to perform first.

Five minutes later, the tuning is over, and the next stage is the performance time of the girls' 'show time' stage.

In addition: the heroine has no love line, no CP, but because the variety show in the first world is a two-person talent show, there will be a lot of opponents with male supporting actors.
