1. Host × crosstalk performer, younger gong, power couple.

2. Set in a fictional entertainment industry. The variety show and all plot elements are original (made up) and not meant to withstand scrutiny, so please do not take them too seriously. All characters have no real-life counterparts. Do not start arguments in the comments.

3. The author does not claim expertise and has only a shallow understanding of traditional performing arts. Treat related content as light entertainment and do not overanalyze.
