Su Shuangshuang’s career as an eighteen-tier actress ended with a video that made her the laughingstock of the internet. While playing a corpse on set, a crew member stepped on her waist, and she sprang up like a startled zombie, soaring three meters into the air.
The video went viral by accident, and #HumanEvolutionInReverse made it to the top of the trending charts.
The next day, sharp-tongued CEO Gu Yanshen slapped a contract down in front of her. “Sign it, and I’ll make you a top-tier star.”
Her hands trembled with excitement. “Mr. Gu, you have such a discerning eye!”
He sneered. “No. I’ve noticed your unusual bone structure. You’re perfect as the company’s mascot for bad publicity.”
From then on, she was forced to perform: during a livestream sales pitch, she called a face mask a “human-skin disguise”; on a dating show, she read a male guest’s palm and cried, “Your fate is missing a goofball like me”; and while filming a xianxia drama on a wire, she screamed, “Mom, I want to go home and raise pigs!”
Her fans went wild: “She’s so unhinged, I love her!”
Gu Yanshen’s blood pressure shot up every day. “Keep docking her pay and she’ll have to pay us to work here!”
Until paparazzi caught him late at night pinning her against the door of a van. “I’ll teach you a trick that won’t get your pay docked…”
Her eyes lit up. “A raise?”
He gritted his teeth. “Be my wife, and the whole company will be yours.”
