Every Day the Villain Continues to Fail
[Quick Transmigration]

The time for the livestream was exactly when the crew was filming night scenes.
This scene did not have many lines for Ruan Yao; the main focus was the confrontation between Jiang Ze and Ning Yiwei.
All he had to do was act as a background figure with red-rimmed eyes from crying.
Yan Hui decided to let Ruan Yao appear on camera, considering the objective factor that it would not slow down the filming progress.
While Ruan Yao sat in front of the makeup table obediently letting the makeup artist massage his cheeks, he suddenly remembered something that had long been forgotten. “System, last time the department head said the bonus from the livestream review would be transferred to my account. I haven’t had the chance to check how much it is yet”
The system responded “Neighboring Unit 008 said that the host’s livestream seems to be quite popular in the interstellar network. Many people are looking forward to your next review”
It proudly extended a mechanical arm and waved a small colorful flag. “It might be a huge sum! After all, we are the first to attract so many viewers in the cannon fodder zone”
Ruan Yao scratched his cheek, where a mosquito had left a small bump, his eyes full of confusion. “But what’s so interesting about a cannon fodder review? Are people really this tolerant nowadays?”
The system patted the tiny fluffy-haired figure on the head. “Host, pull yourself together! Even the department head praised our flawless work, which means we performed excellently!”
“We must not disappoint our audience friends. Let’s complete this mission properly too”
Ruan Yao clenched his fists, his eyes shining. “For the bonus, I have to do my best!”
The system thought: As expected, mentioning money instantly fills the host with motivation.
“All right, let’s get started” The crew assistant responsible for hosting held up the camera, pointing it at Ruan Yao, who was sitting in front of the makeup mirror.
Ruan Yao actually had no problem appearing on camera without makeup, but since he had a scene later that night, the makeup artist only cleaned up the tear-streaked makeup a little.
He nodded and gave the crew assistant a soft smile. “Okay”
The delicate-looking crew assistant instantly felt like his heart had been struck. His face flushed red for a moment, and his fingers trembled slightly as he pressed the start button.
“Um… Let’s first greet everyone!”
Ruan Yao waved a little shyly at the camera. “Hello, everyone, I am Ruan Yao, playing Ning Zhen in City Without Love”
The assistant stared at the barrage of fast-scrolling comments, momentarily surprised.
It seemed that everyone was really looking forward to this movie.
“If anyone has questions about the movie or wants to ask Ruan Yao something, feel free to type them in the public chat! If we catch them on screen, we’ll reply”
Everyone seemed particularly excited tonight, and the messages were flooding in.
“Wow, fresh YaoYao looks even more stunning!”
“What kind of treasure have I been missing out on all this time?”
“Shaa shaa, I’m drooling, my wife is gorgeous”
“Even though I am a firm believer in serious aesthetics, this red-rimmed eye makeup is just too good. Is this the pure-desire style? I love it!”
“Wuwu, I admit I’m a face fanatic. My wife can do anything with a face like that”
The crew assistant did not dare to look directly at Ruan Yao’s face. Blushing, he kept his head down and stared at the comments on his phone screen.
“Three, two, one!”
"Let's see what the first question is" The young man raised his phone and placed it in front of Ruan Yao. When Ruan Yao took a look, he was immediately stunned.
His porcelain-like cheeks turned crimson in an instant. He looked at the crew member with pleading eyes and whispered "Is this question serious?"
"Huh?" The crew member, puzzled, took the phone and glanced at it. His expression immediately turned as if he had been struck by lightning.
The barrage of comments grew even wilder, filled with messages like "You said it, now do it!" and "Yao Yao, hurry up and answer!"
"Host, hurry and hand the phone to Yao Yao!"
"I can't wait any longer, hehehe"
The crew member braced himself. "How about answering it, Teacher?"
With trembling fingers, Ruan Yao took back the phone. The question captured in the screenshot read: "Did you and Xie Tong get married?"
What kind of misunderstanding did everyone have about his relationship with Xie Tong?!
Wasn't it obvious that the two of them couldn't stand each other?!
Ruan Yao’s cheeks flushed pink. Tugging at his slender fingers, he gently explained to the viewers in the livestream "Teacher Xie and I are just ordinary colleagues. There's nothing... nothing like what you all think..."
There is absolutely nothing scandalous between us!
The comments scrolled even faster as if everyone was eager to tease him. "A couple relationship is still an ordinary relationship! Yao Yao, tell us, what kind of person is Teacher Xie?"
Ruan Yao felt utterly embarrassed.
If Xie Tong found out about this, he would definitely dislike him even more.
"Teacher Xie is a very warm-hearted person. His acting is excellent, he's a good person, and he takes great care of everyone on set" Ruan Yao shamelessly exaggerated his praise and flattered Xie Tong in front of the fans.
After all, he was the male lead of this film. No matter how things were in private, maintaining harmony on the surface was necessary.
"Really? But Tong Ge is famous for his bad temper!"
"The Xie Tong who used to lash out at everything and everyone actually takes care of Yao Yao?"
Even though it was clearly just a diplomatic statement, in the audience's eyes, it suddenly took on a different meaning, as if the film set was wrapped in an ambiguous pink mist.
The crew member hurriedly took the phone back. "Ahem, that concludes this question! Let's move on to the next one"
Only then did Ruan Yao finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Three, two, one!"
Ruan Yao focused his gaze on the screen. A brightly colored glowing comment flashed across his eyes so dazzlingly that it almost hurt: "Are you and Pei Xinan real?"
Ruan Yao hesitated.
He wasn't sure if Pei Xinan was willing to make their relationship public.
However, before Ruan Yao could even open his mouth, a massive rocket effect suddenly shot up on the screen with a loud "boom" filling the entire display.
The crew member froze in shock.
From what he knew, the rocket gift in this livestream cost about ten thousand yuan. Which wealthy fan was this extravagant?!
"Thank you to 'Yao Yao's One and Only Official Boyfriend' for the rocket" The crew member read the username, nearly biting his tongue. Boyfriend... These netizens sure were open-minded these days.
The user who sent the rocket left a simple and straightforward comment: "It's real"
Ruan Yao: "..."
What a childish man.
The comment section immediately went wild.
"Holy crap, is Pei Xinan himself in the chat? That username has to be him, right? Throwing money around just to stake his claim, what kind of domineering CEO drama is this?!"
"What are you thinking? This must be a wealthy CPF fan! There's no way Pei Xinan has time to watch a livestream!"
The wealthy viewer quickly sent another rocket gift. "Xie Tong is fake"
"Whoa, is this person an insider? More, more, tell us more! We need to know!"
With the sudden appearance of this wealthy user, the entire chat was thrown off course. Forget about discussing the movie, everyone was now obsessing over the little beauty’s love life. Gossip truly is the essence of human nature.
The staff member was speechless, but in the end, it was Ruan Yao who softly spoke up. "Isn't anyone curious about our movie? There are a lot of interesting parts"
His voice was naturally soft, and when faced with such an unusual situation, he seemed even more timid.
His amber-colored eyes blinked slowly, like a fluffy little rabbit twitching its ears, utterly adorable.
"Guys, I’ve switched sides. There's no way such a sweet little cutie could have done those things!"
"Same here! I'm joining the Soft Candy Squad to protect our baby!"
"Since Yao Yao has spoken, I guess we should at least pretend to care about the movie"
Ruan Yao: …Hey, I saw that.
The viewers were still willing to give Ruan Yao some face, obediently asking a few movie-related questions.
Ruan Yao had done a lot of research for this film, so he answered even the most tricky questions one by one.
When he was thinking, he would instinctively lower his head slightly, as if even his breathing had slowed.
His long eyelashes cast delicate shadows over his shimmering eyes, and from this angle, his round, rosy lips stood out even more, like a single droplet of tempting nectar resting in the heart of a seductive flower.
The staff member’s gaze unconsciously landed on Ruan Yao’s lips.
So… so kissable…
The chat clearly picked up on the exact same thing:
"Help! Am I a beast? Because I really want to kiss Yao Yao’s lips!"
"I admit it, I am a beast. Yao Yao, come here and let me hug you!"
"Step aside, all of you! I’m kissing first!"
The user named "Yao Yao’s One and Only Official Boyfriend" quickly sent a cosmic spaceship gift. "Yao Yao is mine. Only I can kiss him!"
The staff member’s pupils shook. A single cosmic spaceship was worth fifty thousand!
But before anyone could react, an even bigger spender appeared.
Ten cosmic spaceships exploded across the screen like fireworks, filling it with dazzling special effects for a full minute.
The sheer extravagance nearly blinded everyone watching.
The new wealthy user's name was simple: just the character "Sheng" Their comment was equally direct, they first tagged "Yao Yao’s One and Only Official Boyfriend" with the speed of an elderly person, then bluntly declared "I am. Get lost"
The entire chat was instantly stunned.
"What is this? A live battle for affection?"
"Did I just hallucinate? Ten spaceships, that's five hundred thousand! Do big shots just throw money around like this for love?"
"Is Yao Yao about to marry into a wealthy family?"
"So exciting, fight, fight!"
Ruan Yao just wanted to end the livestream as soon as possible.
What was this even? Everyone seemed completely uninterested in the movie and only cared about his so-called boyfriends.
The system consoled him "Host, don’t take it too hard. This just means that your scandal of seducing powerful figures while two-timing might get exposed soon. That way, it’ll be much easier to rack up the protagonist shou’s disgust value, right? Plus, you can unlock the ‘Total Ruin’ series achievement for the second time"
"What kind of achievement name is that long?"
Ruan Yao looked at the livestream in agony as the protagonist gong and the protagonist shou kept throwing gifts at each other, as if whoever spent more money would become his official boyfriend.
Everyone in the chat was completely bewildered:
"I'm just a clueless bystander, I've never seen anything like this before"
"Do these big shots get their money from the wind? I can’t even keep track of how much they’ve spent anymore"
"Holy crap! This could buy a whole building in the city center!"
"So this is what they call a disastrous beauty?"
"You're still livestreaming?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, making Ruan Yao freeze up. "Y-yeah"
Xie Tong had a baffled expression. "Why do you all look so nervous?"
Before Ruan Yao could say anything, Xie Tong raised an eyebrow and gave him a knowing look. "I get it. Did they ask you something you didn’t know how to answer?"
Without understanding the situation at all, a certain Best Actor swaggered over and pulled Ruan Yao into his arms, casually resting his chin in the dip of Ruan Yao’s shoulder. "Fine, I’ll do you a favor and take a look"
He didn’t even realize how overly intimate this gesture appeared on camera.
The chat…
The chat had completely fallen into chaos.
"Guys, I think one three five two four six isn’t impossible either"
^It jokingly suggests that if too many people like Ruan Yao, they can share him on different days of the week (like a schedule for multiple lovers).
"Not enough shares to go around, panic.jpg."
