The other contestant was Karen Qian, a beta-level celebrity with several representative works.

However, she had always maintained a low profile in the industry.

She lowered her gaze slightly, her bangs falling across her eyes, giving her an unusually cool and reserved aura.

A girl in a leather jacket beside her noticed Audrey and handed her a bottle of water.

Audrey accepted it and said softly, Thank you.

As the team leader glanced briefly at Audrey, it was clear she had no intention of chatting with her. Audrey, naturally, didn t try to force a conversation either.

For a moment, no one spoke.

After taking a sip of water, Audrey suddenly heard whispering nearby.

I heard they only picked one content creator this season.

Someone else replied mockingly, Who knows? Maybe they all got in through connections.

Audrey pretended not to hear them. Her expression didn t change at all, as though the words had never reached her ears.

Just then, the door opened.

A lively figure walked in, instantly warming up the atmosphere.

The producer introduced her in a pleasant voice. She had a sweet smile, her hair tied into two playful pigtails, paired with light, cheerful makeup.

Hello everyone, she said brightly. My name is Jingle. I m a singer who does song covers online. I hope we ll have a great time together.

Following Jingle s introduction, the others began introducing themselves one by one.

Without exception, they were all well-known figures.

Soon, it was Helena s turn.

She glanced around lazily, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a faint smile,

I don t think I need to introduce myself. Is there anyone here who doesn t know me?

Her tone was undeniably arrogant but she had the right to be.

After all, she used to be a top-tier idol, once wildly popular. Many people had considered her their first celebrity crush.

Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Helena quickly added with a chuckle,

Don t misunderstand. I m not someone who can t accept my age. I was just joking. Everyone here is young and talented.

Her words instantly eased the tension, and many people felt she was surprisingly magnanimous.

The host smiled awkwardly, offered a few polite compliments, and quickly moved on.

Helena sat back down, letting the next contestant speak.

Hi everyone, the woman said confidently. My name is Karyon Quinlan. Let s get along well during the upcoming competition.

She was beautiful yet aggressive completely different from Velimia.

Her facial features were sharp and striking, her eyes carrying a unique charm. With her long, enchanting legs and a figure she clearly wasn t shy about showing off, she wore a tube dress that drew plenty of attention.

Next came Velimia Sheare.

My name is Velimia Sheare, she said calmly. I m a national-level dancer. I hope to meet partners I can truly connect with.

She looked gentle and composed, appearing elegant and approachable.

She wore a long, fitted gown that perfectly highlighted her figure. Her presence was cold yet refined, a beauty that commanded attention effortlessly.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Audrey gained a rough understanding of their personalities.

Helena was a seasoned veteran of the entertainment industry fond of putting on airs, yet secretly afraid of being labeled a diva.

Karyon, on the other hand, was a beautiful schemer who had risen to fame through red-carpet appearances. Though often dismissed as just a pretty face, she clearly had real abilities. Otherwise, she wouldn t have remained popular for so long.

As for Velimia, she was a cold and aloof national dancer. On the surface, she claimed to look forward to working with everyone but in reality, she clearly looked down on them.

Jingle had a soft personality and smiled warmly at everyone, appearing harmless and easy to bully.

Following the order, the next introduction was Eliza s.

To participate in this show, Eliza hadn t only spent a large sum renting a Maserati she had also specially purchased a luxury-brand gown. Just her makeup alone had taken two hours.

At that moment, she stood up gracefully like a peacock, holding the microphone with a practiced, gentle smile.

Hello everyone, she said sweetly. My name is Eliza Harper. I m a content creator.

She paused deliberately before continuing,

It s my honor to participate in this show alongside so many respected seniors. I ll definitely work hard and learn from all of you.

Then she added meaningfully,

I d also like to apologize for causing trouble earlier outside.

She bowed deeply once more.

I hope you won t hold any bias against me. I m actually very easy to get along with, and I hope we can all cooperate happily in the coming days.

The moment her words fell, all gazes subtly shifted

And Audrey was instantly pushed into the center of attention.
