Chapter 6: Variety Show Debut

The taxi quickly stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood. Aurora got out of the car and conveniently bought some groceries at the supermarket near the entrance before heading home.

She needed to take good care of herself. After all, health is the most important thing. No matter what, she had to eat well.

The next day, the production team released the preview for the variety show, directly announcing the list of guests participating in this show. Unlike the previous life, this time it included her and Finn's names.

In the previous life, Andrew appeared as a mystery guest, so before the show aired, no one expected him to participate.

This time, Aurora was not surprised.

As soon as the official announcement was made, it immediately sparked heated discussions. Besides the fans of the other guests promoting their idols, the comments were dominated by two trends.

One was people crazily cursing Aurora, and the other was praising Bianca.

Aurora was doing yoga when her phone kept buzzing with notifications, all mentioning her.

"I was really looking forward to this episode of 'Harmony Haven,' but seeing Aurora made my expectations drop by half."

"There must be some shady dealings. I heard the show's selection standards were quite high. How did Aurora get in?"

"Aurora is such a scheming woman. She must have known Finn was going to be on this show, so she found a way to get in."

"Finn is on the show with his sister. He won't even look at Aurora. She should just give up."

"To be honest, Aurora is really pretty. I've seen her work before, and her character portrayal wasn't that bad. Why does she have to take the wrong path?"

"She must be brainless. The industry is full of good-looking people. Besides, who knows if she's had plastic surgery?"

Comments like these flooded the production team's announcement. Aurora only skimmed through a few before stopping. She shared the post and then closed her social media.

Bianca was just a little-known actress now, and the comments about her were clearly from paid promotions.

The Johnson family's favoritism towards Bianca was something Aurora had already witnessed in her previous life. The Johnson Group's actions were not surprising.

On the other hand, the insults from her haters were nothing new. She didn't want to waste time responding to their curses. Being cursed at was also a form of fame. The best way to respond was to use her professional skills.

This variety show was conducted in a live broadcast format, with no rehearsals beforehand. Except for the production team, no one knew what the guests would encounter, making it a very authentic reflection of the guests' personalities.

Relying on her memories from the previous life, Aurora packed what she needed and rested well for two days.

On the day the show started, she got up early, freshened up, and boarded the plane to the recording location.

The production team chose a picturesque village with clear mountains and rivers, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The guests needed to live there for a while and complete various tasks set by the production team.

The guest who completed the tasks the fastest and best would receive generous rewards from the sponsors.

As soon as Aurora got off the plane, someone was waiting at the airport, and the live broadcast started at that moment.

The first person the staff picked up was Aurora. As she walked out of the terminal, she instantly caught everyone's eye.

She wore a simple white shirt paired with tight jeans, making her legs look even longer and straighter. She casually draped a brown trench coat over her shoulders, giving off a carefree and relaxed vibe.

Aurora appeared on camera without makeup, and the live chat went wild.

"Why is Aurora the first to appear? I really don't want to see her."

"But honestly, Aurora is really pretty, and her fashion sense seems good. If she could improve her acting skills, her future would be bright."

"I can't believe Aurora looks so good without makeup. How did I not notice before? I'm a fan now just for her looks."

"So what if she's pretty? If her character is bad, no matter how beautiful she is, it makes people want to puke."

The number of viewers in the live chat kept increasing. Besides the fans, the other guests participating in this episode were also following the live broadcast, especially the Johnson family.

Michael and Finn were also stunned by Aurora's appearance on camera.

They used to live under the same roof, seeing each other every day, so they didn't pay much attention to her looks or her acting work. Now, seeing her carefree demeanor on camera, they were a bit surprised.

Aurora got into the car with the production team. The camera then switched to the other guests being picked up one after another, and they all headed to the village together.

The second to arrive was the recently popular girl group singer Ava Davis, followed by the popular actress Mia Wilson and top actor Joseph Miller.

Ava wore black jeans, a white top, and a leather jacket, looking very sharp.

Mia wore a white long dress with a simple trench coat, looking very pure.

Joseph wore a suit, exuding an outstanding aura. After getting in the car, he greeted the three of them before finding a seat.

The three of them responded with smiles, greeting each other. Ava even chatted enthusiastically with Aurora, and Joseph smiled at the two of them.

Only Mia, after a brief response, turned her face away, looking aloof. It seemed she didn't like Aurora much, but it wasn't obvious.

Soon, another guest came out of the terminal and was brought to the car by the staff.

Aurora looked up and saw Finn standing at the car door, turning to reach out with a doting expression. Bianca then took his hand and got in the car.

The two of them saw her at the same time. Their eyes met, and Aurora's gaze only lingered for a second before she looked away.

The live chat went wild again.

"Finn is so doting on Bianca. Am I the only one who noticed his eyes?"

"Bianca and Finn are really siblings. Their appearance together just outshines the other guests. This scene is amazing."

"Wait, what was that look from Aurora? Jealousy?"

"I think so. With Finn bringing Bianca, Aurora can't talk to Finn now. Hahaha."

"Bianca and Finn look so good together. If they weren't siblings, I'd think they were a couple."

Bianca and Finn were dressed particularly formally today, completely different from their usual style, as if they were about to walk a red carpet.

Aurora didn't know about the live chat, but she secretly laughed. Only someone as brainless as Bianca would wear high heels. She'd be crying when they had to climb the mountain later.

Mia immediately invited Bianca to sit next to her, but her eyes were fixed on Finn.

Aurora then understood why Mia was so enthusiastic about Bianca; she liked Finn.

Ava and Joseph also greeted the two of them, but it was just a simple exchange, indicating they weren't very familiar.

Aurora didn't bother with the two of them, but out of politeness, she forced a smile at them, which counted as a greeting.

Sharp-eyed viewers immediately captured her micro-expression and analyzed it.

"What kind of expression is that from Aurora? Is she paralyzed?"

"Is this a side effect of plastic surgery?"

"I think she's plotting something bad again. Finn better not talk to her. This kind of scheming woman is the worst."

"This expression is great. I'm saving it."
