Qin Sheng got up early and refused her mother's suggestion that she dress up. She simply wore a red Chinese-style sweatshirt and light-colored jeans.

The sweatshirt was a bit loose at the hem, and when she casually raised her hand, a sliver of her slender waist, small enough to wrap around with one hand, was revealed... Of course, it was hidden by her jeans.

With the dog at home kept under strict control, Qin Sheng hasn't had much freedom in what she wears lately.

Showing your midriff is not allowed.

She casually pulled the hoodie over her head, said goodbye to her parents, and then went out with her third brother.

Since most of the director and lead actors are in Tiandu, Director Mu tried to contact the program team in Tiandu as much as possible.

It's a reality TV show called "The Door to Dreams".

"The Door to Dreams" is a large-scale intellectual game show launched by CCTV's variety channel. It has been running for more than eight years. Its popularity and fame may not be as high as many entertainment variety shows today, but in terms of public opinion, it is undoubtedly the king of variety shows.

"The Door to Dreams" is not just a variety show for entertainment purposes. More importantly, it aims to help people discover their own value and potential, stimulate their thinking, and resonate with the audience.

Because "The Door to Dreams" is different from ordinary variety shows, the guests invited are basically professionals from all walks of life, mainly ordinary people.

The number of entire cast members from shows like the "Mountains and Rivers" series appearing on variety shows during the eight years since "Dream Gate" premiered is definitely less than a handful.

Moreover, they were basically invited to participate only because the drama itself was outstanding and received unanimous praise from the public.

Like mountains and rivers, the bright moon shines, and it takes the stage before the show even starts broadcasting; this is the first time.

Therefore, when Qin Zhihuai learned that Director Mu had actually secured the opportunity for "The Gate of Dreams", even he was very surprised.

This is one of the reasons why he agreed to let Qin Sheng participate in the program.

Compared to some variety shows that have a pre-written script and a predetermined direction, "The Door to Dreams" is much more authentic and entertaining.

Qin Sheng might not like it, but at least she won't dislike it.

"The Door to Dreams" was originally a pre-recorded program, which was then edited and produced before being broadcast.

However, since this involved the promotion of a TV series, although the program team agreed to Director Mu's request for cooperation, they were unwilling to ruin the program's original reputation and be accused of putting on a show or being fake because of one program.

Therefore, the broadcast method for this episode was temporarily changed, and it was conducted as a live broadcast.

—With a live broadcast lasting nearly two hours and a considerable number of participants, it would be extremely difficult to pre-plan a script.

However, even though there is no script, guests still need to be familiar with the program, so the program organizers require guests to arrive at the venue at least two hours in advance.

Qin Sheng spent the whole day with Qin Zhihuai at Shengshi Entertainment. After having an early dinner around 4 p.m., they went to the program venue just across the street.

It's exactly 5:30.

There are still two hours before the show starts.

They hit the mark perfectly.

By this time, everyone had arrived.

The director is Mu Guan, the producer is Wei Yunlong, the male lead is Qin Zhihuai, the female lead is Ying Yuqiu, and the supporting cast includes Leng Mingyu, Zheng Fu, and Qin Sheng.

Except for one supporting actress who was already filming another drama and couldn't make it back, almost all the other main actors were present.

Oh, and Xia Ziru also appeared as a special guest.

Eight people, not a lot, but not a small number either.

With four hosts added, they could easily form a football team.

Qin Sheng and Qin Zhihuai arrived late, and when they entered the backstage area, everyone was either eating or chatting.

Apart from Xia Ziru, who joined at the last minute, everyone else had been working together on set for quite some time and were familiar with each other, so the atmosphere was fairly good.

Especially when they saw Qin Sheng and the other person, everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and the female lead, Ying Yuqiu, even abandoned her chat partner and went to greet them.

However, she wasn't there to greet the male lead, Qin Zhihuai, but rather to see Qin Sheng.

He grabbed Qin Sheng's sleeve and pulled her inside, gesturing smugly to the two boys as they walked, "My little Sheng Sheng is here. Try laughing at me again, and I'll take care of you both with just one sword each!"

The two boys pretended to fall backward, shouting, "I'm dead!"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Ying Yuqiu was both amused and exasperated. She took two steps forward and kicked each of them back to life, laughing and scolding, "So you're a talented actor? With your acting skills, you'd be lucky if you didn't have to play dead characters in the show, otherwise you'd be cursed to death!"

One of the two, Leng Mingyu, a boy with dark brown hair, said with a grin, "It's okay. With Sister Jue, Brother Huai, and Sister Sheng backing us up, we can salvage even the worst performance."

Zheng Fu, the third male lead, nodded in agreement, saying, "Mingyu is right. As soon as the three of you appeared, the audience only looked at you. Our presence was reduced to 0.01."

Qin Zhihuai had just arrived and smiled lazily upon hearing this: "Director Mu is here."

The two of them shuddered instantly and looked sharply toward the entrance, but after searching around, they couldn't find Director Mu anywhere.

They realized they had been tricked.

Leng Mingyu said with a resentful look, "Brother Huai, you've changed."

It's become so bad...

They'll all lie to them.

Qin Zhihuai smiled slowly, raised his hand and pulled his little sister back to his side, then said to Ying Yuqiu, who was looking over, "She's mine."

Ying Yuqiu: "..."

Damn it, so what if it's yours? You think you're so great?

...That's really impressive.

Ying Yujue whimpered.

She wants such a beautiful, smart, and capable younger sister too!

That's not true.

Qin Sheng greeted the three of them and then found a place to sit down.

It was still early, so she took out her phone and went to the "TIMI" interface.

Just as Qin Sheng was about to start a ranked match, a shadow fell over her head. She removed her finger from the ranked button and looked up.

Then I met a face with a leisurely smile.

It's Xia Ziru.

Because she was unfamiliar with everyone present and had a rather unusual identity, Xia Ziru sat alone until Qin Sheng arrived, at which point she looked up at him.

Then, after she sat down alone, he got up and came over.

Qin Sheng looked at her for a moment, then continued pressing the ranking button while asking in a cool voice, "What is it?"

Since Xia Ziru came with the intention of building a good relationship with Qin Sheng, she had naturally done her homework beforehand and knew that Qin Sheng was aloof and did not like to communicate with strangers.

Therefore, he didn't care about her coldness at the moment and kept smiling as he said, "It's because of what happened before. My fans caused trouble for Miss Qin, and I've been looking for an opportunity to apologize to her."

Xia Ziru glanced at Qin Sheng's phone, which was already on the selection screen, paused, and continued, "Would it be convenient for us to chat for a bit?"
