Chapter 9: The ninth day of being popular
Next, she just needed to mislead everyone to regard this ugly makeup as her real face value and avoid those beauty fans, it was easy to get cold, right?
However, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she had never done this before.
This was her first time doing small tricks, and she still had to get used to it.
"Sister Liang, don't be too sad. At worst, post your photos without makeup on the Internet, and the rumors will be self-defeating." The other teammate of group 10th comforted her.
Yao Bianliang came back to her senses, and quickly showed a comforting smile: "No, no need to post photos! Isn't it just a few words from the audience, I'm fine."
She was really happy, so this smile appeared extremely sincere.
And at this moment, a system notification sounded in her mind.
[Drip, please note that the host deliberately led the audience to misunderstand her appearance, which is count as malicious deception; if the host violates the rules, the task will be automatically judged as failure]
The smile on Yao Bianliang's face froze.
What's wrong?
Couldn't she let the audience misunderstand her appearance?
"Host, have you forgotten," the system reminded, "When you choose a task, there is a note that stipulates that the host must not violate the law and morality, and must be dedicated to working."
Yao Bianliang's smile slowly disappeared.
For some reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
Xiao Yu stood beside her, watching helplessly as the sincere smile on Yao Bianliang's face gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a sad and painful expression.
Still say you're fine? Look, how sad this looked!
Sure enough, Yao Bianliang was forcing a smile just now.
"By the way, host, I have a detailed rule here, you can take a look."
The system's voice fell, and immediately after, a transparent light panel appeared in front of Yao Bianliang's eyes.
[Host Rules]
[1. The host must not break the law: such as tax evasion, beating others without reason, disturbing public order, etc. (click to expand the 250 detailed rules)

71. The host must not inform in any form or imply the existence of the system to other people]
There were too many rules, densely packed, which dazzled Yao Bianliang's eyes.
But to sum it up, just one sentence - put an end to all crooked ways, she could only honestly become cold!
The system explained: "Host if you mislead the audience and let everyone regard this ugly makeup as your real appearance, this is obviously malicious marketing and violates morality."
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Yao Bianliang's lips shook, she was speechless for a while.
She was wrong, she was too naive.
The task seemed simple, but if various restrictions were added, the difficulty would be several times higher than she imagined!
This dog system really didn't give any leeway.
The system was wronged: "Host, did you come here from the previous worlds like this? We are law-abiding citizens!"
Yao Bianliang really didn't think about completing the mission in an illegal way.
However, according to the requirements of the system, she couldn't do anything even slightly unethical, and must remain dedicated at all times—this setting was a bit too much!
It was obviously not easy for a law-abiding, dedicated, and outstanding actor to become cold.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Bianliang silently warned herself not to panic.
Maybe things were not as bad as imagined.
"To Our Youth" was a boring script she chose out of thousands of choices, and it was impossible to become popular.
As long as the drama was not popular, it didn't matter how good-looking she is.
What's more, although malicious marketing was not allowed, she could choose not to show her face in public or post selfies.
In this way, it was unlikely that she would gain fans by virtue of her appearance.
A little goofy girl, acting in a little goofy drama, shouldn't become popular... right?
Beside her, several teammates looked at Yao Bianliang's pale face, as if she had been hit hard, and couldn't help feeling very complicated.
Yao Bianliang sacrificed so much to perform this drama well!
"So...shall we take a makeup photo now?" the photographer scratched his head and asked in a low voice.
Only then did Yao Bianliang come back to her senses reluctantly, and finally made herself less emotionally exposed than before.
"Shoot, of course." She said.
Come to think of it, maybe things weren't that bad.
Wasn't it just that you couldn't engage in crooked ways, but you could only be honest to become cold?
In the entertainment circle, there were many actors with strength, acting skills, and good looks, but how many people were really popular?
After all, it was a matter of probability.
For a little transparency like her who had no backstage and no background, even if she desperately wanted to become popular, it was even more difficult.
What's more...
Yao Bianliang thought of mother Yao and Yao Xinxin who drove her out of the house.
And the original novel, Yao Xinxin also suppressed her.
With this setting, no matter how good she is, it's impossible for her to be popular, right?
