Ye Zhiqiu was an ordinary office worker until a vase fell from the sky and sent her into a melodramatic novel, where she became the wicked supporting lady who shared her name. She was also bound to a bizarre System called “Face-Slapping the Wicked Supporting Lady.”
At an audition, the System roared, “Steal her leading role and slap her in the face with your acting!”
Ye Zhiqiu gave up on the lead right then and there, and instead auditioned for the role of an overworked office drone, the third female lead. “Why should a wicked supporting lady get to play the heroine?”
On the eve of a press conference, the System declared, “Walk the red carpet in a non-designer gift she once looked down on, and slap her in the face with your looks!”
Ye Zhiqiu opened a shopping app and ordered an outfit that was the epitome of office fashion gone wrong. “Of course I should dress for the character at my new show’s press conference.”
During a variety show recording, the System said earnestly, “Go expose her fake-sweet act and give her a good face-slapping!”
Ye Zhiqiu sidled up to the original novel’s heroine. “Isn’t Actor Jiang so busy he might not have time for you, sis? Unlike me, I just want to cuddle up with you. I love you most, sis, but everyone says I’m acting all sweet and innocent.”
The heroine grabbed Ye Zhiqiu’s hand. “Who said that? Don’t I know whether you’re putting on an act?”
Is there a male lead?
