Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 388: A Bad Ending

The production team was already prepared to start. Everyone was in place, and the cameras had been adjusted. Ling Sheng and Gu Shen arrived one after another, and the guests were also present.

Luo Xin watched as the duo walked over one after another. Ling Sheng seemed to be in a good mood. Although Gu Shen’s expression had not changed much, Luo Xin, who had been with him for nearly half a year, knew that he was in a bad, angry mood.

When the cloth covering the backdrop was unveiled, it revealed an ancient residence. The backdrop was a beautiful residence. The signboard on the door had the words “Zhu Manor” on it. There were two huge stone lions at the door, making it look very impressive.

Before filming started, Qian Yi finally gave them the theme of this episode. Shangguan Yu was the host of this episode and was also in charge of reading the script.

Shangguan Yu started reading seriously. “The theme of the first round of the competition is Love Shall Prevail. There will be two teams. The team that completes the mission in a shorter time will be the winner. Everyone will get 10 points. Now, choose a team. There are red and blue balls in the box in front of you. Choose a team with the same color.”

The prop team had already taken out the box. It was a mahogany box with a hole in the middle that allowed one to put one’s hand in to get a ball.

Ling Sheng prayed silently in her heart that she would not get Gu Shen and Luo Xin as teammates. God should spare her. Before she drew a ball, she even put her palms together and prayed sincerely.

The order they would draw balls was decided by drawing lots. Shangguan Yu, who was the first to pick, obtained a red ball.

Ji Fanchen, who was second, obtained a blue ball.

Luo Xin, who was third, obtained a red ball.

Ling Sheng, who was the fourth person to pick, obtained a blue ball. Her eyes lit up as she ran over to join Ji Fanchen.

However, when she reached Ji Fanchen and saw that Gu Shen was about to take a ball, she held her breath nervously and dragged Ji Fanchen to pray with her.

Red ball! Red ball! Red ball!

Gu Shen’s expression was a little strange. He did not want to draw either of them. If he drew a blue ball, he would be in the same group as Ling Sheng. If he drew a red ball, he would be in the same group as Luo Xin.

He threw caution to the wind and picked a ball. It was red.

Ling Sheng’s expression was very obvious. Her eyes lit up as she shouted excitedly at Cheng Ye. “Xiao Ye, what are you waiting for? Come over here quickly.”

When he saw her as happy as a child, Gu Shen’s eyes narrowed and his heart sank. She was already really happy about not being in the same group as him.

Ling Sheng gave Gu Shen a look, her eyes telling him that she was really happy. What can you do about it?

The production team looked at the three excited members of the Eight Immortals. They were all great and really lucky. They had actually been assigned to the same team.

Shangguan Yu continued reading the script aloud. “This time, the theme is Love Shall Prevail. The eldest daughter of the Zhu Family has fallen in love with a scholar with the surname Liang. The two of them have agreed to elope. The scholar will wait for Ms. Zhu under the big willow tree at the back door in the dead of the night. During this period, there will be three checkpoints that will allow the duo to successfully elope.”

First, they had to choose roles. The production team did not care who would be the Zhu Family’s daughter, Scholar Liang, and Steward Zhu. They would distribute the roles themselves.

Naturally, the Zhu Family’s young lady would be Luo Xin, who was the only girl in Gu Shen’s team.

Shangguan Yu told Gu Shen in a low voice, “I’ll be the parent. You can be Liang Shanbo!”

Gu Shen frowned and took a look at Luo Xin. He knew that he should not have come to this show. Upon seeing Ling Sheng and the others playing rock-paper-scissors, he said, “Senior Shangguan, I think our team should play rock-paper-scissors too!”

Luo Xin was overjoyed. Ah Shen was not willing to be Liang Shanbo because he was afraid of a bad ending with her. In fact, he still cared about her and loved her.
