Forced to Pretend to Be an A and Marry the Best Actress Omega - Chapter 17

Xu Mifei had already returned to the side, lowering her head to look at the last card in her hand.

This card was blank, with no engraved text. Of course, the cards were the handiwork of the props team, with the gilded letters featuring subtle grooves.

They had arrived on the island at only nine o’clock, so there was still plenty of time to complete the tasks. However, the production team was quite cunning, exploiting loopholes in the rules.

It was supposed to be a task about honesty, yet they were making people lie…

Xu Mifei seemed to understand why this show was called a divorce reality series.

How could young couples withstand such trials? Between intensifying the pressure and leading them astray, the flames of love could easily turn into an ocean of resentment.

No wonder only long-married middle-aged couples like Lin Su and He Yanzhen could become regular guests.

Jiang Lingyu truly had great acting skills. She had clearly already seen what card Xu Mifei held, but she didn’t reveal it.

The expressions on everyone’s faces varied, but none of them were pushovers. After a brief moment of contemplation, they all lifted their heads, their composure restored.

Honesty.
They had to be honest.

Director Jin began announcing: “The game is about to begin. Now, please choose your partners. This is the first round, so everyone, take note—the partner you choose now may be your fixed partner for the next four days. Choose carefully. Let me reiterate: Tuo Island operates on a free exploration mode. You must secure shelter, food, and water sources, or you’ll find yourselves in dire straits.”

“In each round, do your best to win. Victory will earn you points, and everything here can be obtained with points. Starting points: 100. Begin selecting your groups.”

“Let’s stick to our original groups. No changes. Since none of us know each other’s cards, it’s better to stay with our original partners—we’re already familiar with them,” Xu Wanzhi said.

Wen Yue nodded. “I second that! I’m not separating from my darling wife!”

No one else objected. Xu Mifei sighed softly—this game was a bit troublesome.

The rules had already stated that Jiang Lingyu needed to identify the liar, and they hadn’t specified whether anyone else was on Jiang Lingyu’s side. It only vaguely hinted at two factions.

Truth.
Lies.

Whichever team lost would lose points. Without a doubt, in this survival-adventure-style game, everyone had to use their points wisely while also striving to earn more for emergencies.

Without hesitation, they split into the familiar three pairs, unchanged from their initial groupings during the director’s meeting.

Jiang Lingyu’s expression was unreadable, but Xu Mifei was certain of one thing: even standing among several big stars, Jiang Lingyu still stood out beautifully, as if she carried her own spotlight.

She was the star among stars. Even the cameramen favored her, giving her plenty of screen time.

Ugh, cameraperson, you know exactly what we want to see. Production team, give her a bonus!

Hehe, watching the panoramic shots on my newly bought interactive projector screen is amazing—it feels like the show is right in front of me. Everyone should try it! From the moment the cameras landed on Tuo Island, I realized everything there can be touched, smelled, and interacted with! The props team deserves major credit!

What the hell, it’s actually real! So, the long hiatus last time was for pulling off something this huge!!!

Many capable variety shows have already integrated holographic features to immerse the audience further—letting them smell, see, and even feel everything the guests experience, provided they’ve switched to the guests’ sensors.

The entire set is constructed, blanketed with the production team’s sensors. This technology is typically used for escape-room-style shows in confined spaces, but Tuo Island marks its first large-scale application.

Holy sh1t, it’s real—I just tried it. Director Jin is flexing hard this time! Did they land some big-shot investor mommy? How else could they pull off such an insane flex?? Whatever, today I declare: Investor Mommy YYDS!

I love seeing Xu Wanzhi and Jiang Lingyu standing together. I have a feeling they’ll definitely win this.

Starting with such an intense game right off the bat? Everyone knows Director Jin’s shows love playing with truths and lies, but they usually save it for later. This game’s lethality is no joke.

Nah, I think veteran players won’t care. Between familiar people, lies are spotted instantly, so liars are at a huge disadvantage.

This game splits into two factions. Director Jin loves pitting couples against each other—testing whether they’ll shield or betray their partner.

Exactly. There was a pair of guests like that before…

New viewer here, and your explanations are lowkey terrifying.

This comment soared past, instantly racking up thousands of likes, lingering at the top of the screen. Jin Chiyu couldn’t help glancing at another monitor, where Xu Mifei stood poised, her face half-hidden behind blast goggles and a black mask, an uncanny blend of arrogance and composure.

Director Jin wiped sweat from his brow, The YYDS investor mommy is currently getting roasted as “Little Xu”…

Back then, Xu Mifei had aggressively injected massive funding to secure her spot in the props team, directly enabling Tuo Island’s transformation.

“Groups finalized. Game begins. The four who lost points earlier, step up—one statement each.”

“I’ll go first.” He Yanzhen flicked her chestnut-brown curls, tugged Lin Su’s hand, and stepped forward. Facing Lin Su, she smiled down at her. “Susu, after all these years married, do you really know me?”

Lin Su gazed back warmly. He Yanzhen didn’t seem to expect an answer, adding, “My statement is, I’ll keep loving you just like before. Can you accept that?”

“Getting sick of me, huh?” Lin Su chuckled, squeezing He Yanzhen’s hand. “Old Alpha, old Omega—of course there’s some wear and tear. But it’s fine. Even if you’re sick of me, I’ll still love you.”

The veteran couple delivering as always! No need to doubt—they’re telling the truth~

Loving these sisters is zero stress. Susu and Zhen-jie still glow like they’re young, even after 18 years married.

Over with Wen Yue and Shen Wansui, Wen Yue said, “Loving you is as easy as breathing. Acceptable?”

Shen Wansui arched a brow and replied, “I’ll be your one and only puppy.”

Keywords extracted, they must be playing with letters in private, so steamy help me

What’s there to doubt about these two? They’re totally a couple in the honeymoon phase

 Four truths have already been revealed, that shouldn’t be the case. Shouldn’t it be three against three?

Meanwhile, Xu Wanzhi said to Jiang Lingyu: “The guidance of pheromones will lead me to the right person, isn’t that true?”

The comments went wild, [They’re already this sweet in the first episode? This is practically a confession!

Wait, another truth? Then everyone on set has been telling the truth, that’s impossible

But everything they said seems true, what could be fake… I’m starting to think this is a group sugar rush for all three CPs.

Finally, only Jiang Lingyu remained.

Xu Mifei, along with the camera, turned her gaze toward Jiang Lingyu.

Jiang Lingyu speaking last actually gave her an advantage in observing everyone. But there was also a downside—after hearing everyone else’s statements, people might not believe what she said.

With some distrusting her, Jiang Lingyu had to identify all opposing faction members to win this game.

Xu Mifei didn’t care about what others had said, but when Jiang Lingyu was about to speak, she couldn’t help but prick up her ears.

Jiang Lingyu fell into brief silence, seemingly hesitating.

Only Xu Mifei knew Jiang Lingyu never hesitated—she was thinking, strategizing how to win this game.

Jiang Lingyu’s later downfall of the Xu family wasn’t just due to madness.

She could even use self-destructive methods to test the credibility of her words, revealing a hidden self-destructive tendency in her nature.

Xu Mifei didn’t know how her hearing had become so sharp, but she even caught Xu Wanzhi quietly cheating, reassuring Jiang Lingyu: “It’s fine, just say anything. If you can’t guess, I can tell you my card.”

She believed omegas were delicate and fragile—just a little coquetry, a hint of pheromones, and alphas should naturally protect them.

But Jiang Lingyu shook her head, her gaze slowly sweeping across everyone present.

For the first time in this game, she looked away from the book’s prompts. Her eyes flicked toward Xu Mifei’s direction before returning to the camera. Meeting Xu Wanzhi’s eyes, she curled her lips and said, “Xu Wanzhi, I like betas. Do you accept that?”

Xu Mifei’s heart felt as if someone had clenched it tightly, especially the pulse at the back of her neck. The moment Jiang Lingyu spoke, it throbbed violently, as if pumped.

Her thin skin stretched slightly in that instant before settling back into calm. She had no time to dwell on this abrupt change.

She looked back in surprise, but Jiang Lingyu no longer met her gaze.

As part of the props team, Xu Mifei had already discerned Jiang Lingyu’s card from the brush of her fingertips during the deal.

Truth and Honesty: You can only speak the truth. Your sincerity will bring you love and luck. She loves you, cherishes you, and knows all of you. —Congratulations to you and your beloved partner. You will surely be happy.
