Chapter 202
Xiao Jingxi’s style had changed quite a bit.
As a film emperor, he had always dressed as a refined fashion-forward man—down to every strand of hair carefully styled.
But this time, he had gone for a laid-back, carefree, youthful vibe.
Messy hair, a light blue shirt, and the curve of his lips carried less aloofness and more spirited energy.
“Morning.”
[Ahhh brother looks so youthful, suddenly he feels like the male lead of a campus drama]
[Trying to act young again, huh?]
[Okay fine, my Xiao-ge is wearing double-layered hair extensions, right? His hair looks way fluffier than last season]
[LMAO when did Xiao Jingxi attract this many abstract fans? I remember his fans only used to cluck cluck cluck]
[Not gonna lie, don’t you guys think Film Emperor Xiao’s outfit looks a bit like someone else’s?]
[Finally someone said it—I swear this is exactly Brother Shen’s usual lazy style]
[Okay so my Xiao-ge is imitating now huh]
As usual, the PD asked Xiao Jingxi why he suddenly changed his dressing style.
Xiao Jingxi answered smoothly: “As an actor, I need to move between different personas. In my new film, I play a young man, so I also adjusted my daily style to better align with the role.”
A reasonable explanation—but unfortunately, the audience wasn’t so easy to fool.
[Isn’t your new movie role supposed to be a mature, old-soul detective?]
[Okay fine, my Xiao-ge is also good at making excuses now]
[Clone sheep Dolly only lived six years!! (shouting loudly!!)]
The cameras moved to the other guests’ rooms one by one.
Qiu Chengye looked about the same as last season. He wore luxurious golden swim trunks embroidered with gold thread, showing off his muscles to the camera from every angle, radiating confidence with every move.
The completely unmanaged armpits, however, were a devastating blow to viewers.
[Maes!! Maes!!]
[Who dares to sniff Brother Kitty’s armpit?]
[I dare lick]
[Bro above… ew]
[Honestly, the only change in Brother Qiu this season is maybe just being even more confident]
The PD’s question for Qiu Chengye was also different from the others: “Mr. Qiu, last season you left netizens with a very unique impression. What are your expectations for yourself this season?”
Qiu Chengye sat down dominantly on the sofa. “I don’t care what misunderstandings you all had about me last season. But this season, I will become the most charming man in this show.”
The PD glanced at Qiu Chengye’s spread armpits.
The charm wasn’t visible yet, but the scent…
was definitely noticeable.
Catching the PD’s gaze, Qiu Chengye grew even more confident, immediately striking more poses to show off his muscles.
[Maes!! Maes!!]
[Can the post-production team please give Brother Kitty some armpit management]
[You dare broadcast this uncensored? Not afraid I’ll jump out the window?]
In Lai Bingxuan’s room, a hairstylist was doing her hair, a makeup artist was applying makeup, a stylist was selecting outfits, and an assistant was feeding her fruit.
Luxury on full display.
When the PD asked her a question, she arrogantly lifted her eyelids, giving the camera a sidelong glance.
“This season, who do I want to interact with more? What kind of interaction are you referring to? Does slapping someone count?”
PD: “……”
[Sister Lai you’re killing me with laughter]
[Old fans know exactly who Sister Lai wants to slap, right?]
[Royal CP found an unexpected way to stay fed]
[Sister Lai give me money!!!]
The scene then switched to Liu Woxing.
Everyone thought her swimsuit style this season would be the same as before—conservative yet elegant. But when her door opened, the sight left everyone stunned.
A striking fire-red one-piece swimsuit.
Her hair, usually tied up softly, now flowed in voluminous waves over her shoulders.
And when she turned around— a flawless, fair, smooth back was revealed.
It was a daring backless design.
“Come in.”
Liu Woxing greeted the PD generously before returning to sit in front of the vanity.
“Are we starting filming now? Give me just a moment, I’ll be ready soon.”
The makeup artist was doing the final touches. When it came to lipstick, Liu Woxing personally chose a blazing red.
“This one.”
The fiery red on her lips made her reflection in the mirror even more dazzling and bold.
The PD was utterly stunned.
She had expected changes from all the guests—but never thought the biggest transformation would come from Liu Woxing.
After a brief silence, the live comments exploded.
[Holy sht holy sht holy sht holy sht]
[????????]
Huh? You… aren’t you… huh?]
[Excuse me, did I walk into the wrong stream? Is this really Sister Woxing’s room?]
[WTF!! Red backless swimsuit, sexy big curls, fiery red lips—none of these should exist on Liu Woxing, right?!]
[Sis!! What happened to you, sis!!]
The chat was divided.
Some who liked Liu Woxing for her gentleness couldn’t accept her transformation.
[What the hell? Is she just tired of being a background prop so now she’s trying to grab attention? But you’re a noble lady, not like those cheap entertainers. What is this?]
[Is she planning to enter the entertainment industry now?]
[Why dress so indecently?]
[Uh… a noblewoman dressing like this, can she even marry well in the future?]
But others were blown away by her new look and converted into fans.
[Honestly, I think this style looks amazing. She also seems more confident now]
[Sister Liu looks stunning! Her look is so refreshing. Some of you are being ridiculous—should I tattoo ‘freedom to dress’ on your faces? The Qing Dynasty has been gone a long time]
[There are always men angry that some strange woman didn’t keep her chastity for them]
[I think this is great! Back during the stage play, when Sister Liu suggested she wanted to play a street delinquent, I already noticed—although she’s a noblewoman, her inner world is rich. Being herself is wonderful!!]
After her brief shock, the PD quickly asked a question.
“Is Sister Liu planning to change styles this season? What prompted you to make such a decision?”
Liu Woxing smiled faintly.
It was undeniable that years of etiquette training made her naturally graceful, but this time, her elegance wasn’t forced—it flowed naturally from a relaxed body and mind.
“Yes, I plan to change my style this season. But not just to one—I want to try them all. We only live once, and I want to live it more colorfully.”
“As for what prompted me… I think it’s better to rephrase.”
“It’s not that something made me have this idea. The idea was always there, but it was blocked by certain things.”
“Now, I don’t want to be held back by anything anymore. I want to live only for myself.”
