Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

This year was being called the "Year of Heritage," so it was no surprise that traditional culture had become the hot new trend in TV and film.

Reality shows were no exception.

*Timeless Treasures* was one such program-its focus was to showcase and celebrate cultural heritage. The regular cast was made up of today's most popular celebrities, and every episode featured a handful of guest stars.

For this week's episode, the producers had invited four guest stars. Along with Rosita, Briony was also on the list.

The other two? One was Mary, an up-and-coming starlet who'd just made a splash with a teen drama. The last was a male guest who hadn't yet arrived; rumor had it he was a doctor-and a passionate enthusiast for antiques and folk traditions.

The show wasn't live, nor was it scripted.

Filming would last three days and two nights.

The location: a resort in Goldenleaf.

Goldenleaf had once been a quiet little town, but thanks to government support, it had been transformed into a semi-self-service vacation spot. The resort was famous for its local folk songs and puppet theater, with folk music promotion being a recent pet project of the community.
