Chapter 1

I was a famous has-been pretty-face actress. I had the looks but no acting skills.

With no acting skills, I was mocked out of the industry. Everyone only remembered me as a pretty face.

A dating reality show aired and I was trending overnight.

Four male guests. Three were my ex-boyfriends. The remaining one was my childhood rival.

"Who am I? Where am I? Help!"

Recently, the company got me a dating show. My agent, Ellie Reed, patted my shoulder happily. "Isla, this is your chance to make a comeback."

I took the contract and glanced at it. "A dating show?"

Recently, variety shows had been popular. Survival shows and all kinds of shows swept the entertainment industry.

"Ellie, is there a script?"

Ellie shook her head. "No script. They said it's all freeform.

"Even the guest list is confidential."

I looked at Ellie in surprise. "We can't know either?"

Ellie nodded. "That's what they said. It's to keep the mystery.

"When everyone arrives, there will be unexpected reactions.

"But don't worry. They say the guests this time are top-tier. You can ride the wave of popularity. If you stir up some buzz, you'll definitely make a comeback with your looks."

Ellie patted my shoulder with a look that said she believed in me.

I was about to speak, but Ellie quickly said, "Shut up. I don't want to hear it," as if expecting nothing good from me.

"I've been with you since your debut. I knew you would become a big star when I first saw you.

"And you did. Your first role was supporting with just a few scenes, but you became famous instantly.

"But I didn't expect it was your starting point, but it was your peak.

"Isla, I know you don't care about fame, but think about me. Grace's people are all getting popular. I have to endure her every day. It's so hard for me!"

Ellie pretended to wipe tears, looking extremely sad.

I looked at Ellie. She had worked hard for me these past years, but I was hopeless. No matter how many roles I took, I was always criticized.

She was ostracized in the company and always took the blame, but she never took it out on me. She treated me the same. My guilt soared.

"Ellie, don't worry. I'll do well this time.

"I'll make sure you're proud before Grace."

On the first day I arrived at the show, I wanted to back out.

The reason was the first male guest I saw, Luke Rogers. He was a popular singer with a huge fanbase. The reason I wanted to run was that he was my first love.

Back in high school, Luke and I were classmates. He was quiet and a model student.

Egged on by my friends, I pestered Luke every day. He got annoyed and asked me what I wanted. I raised my chin and said, "I like you. Be my boyfriend."

He ran away, blushing.

With my relentless pursuit, Luke became my boyfriend.

Luke was really nice. Later, in my sophomore year, I had to move. Luke found out and said nothing. He held my hand and said, "Isla, you must keep in touch with me often."
