Authorâs PS:
1. MC/Presenter x Xiangsheng Actor, Tsundere Gong x Sand Sculpture Shou, Power Couple.
2. Made-up entertainment industries, most of the show plots are blindly woven original. Donât take it too seriously.
3. The author is uncultured, and knowledge on traditional arts is superficial at most. For the topic involving this in the text, just take it for fun, donât go crosscheck.
Translatorâs Note: XiĂ ngsheng is, in the simplest of terms, a double act comedy. The literal translation would be âCrosstalkâ. It is usually performed by a duo where the performers banter with each other. There is usually singing and acting included.
