I Get By on Acting

Synopsis: Just after Chu Yao finished complaining about the xianxia novel Myriad Worlds, Immortal Journey, a thunderbolt struck her with pinpoint accuracy, hurling her straight into the book as the character who shared her name: Chu Yao, the villain's doomed first love, now on the verge of death! Her meridians were severed like lotus threads, her soul shattered like a dropped glass lamp, and she was about to meet her end. From the start, this was a hellishly difficult scenario. At the critical moment, she bound herself to the “Reader Rescue System.” A 30-minute trial life-saving pill barely kept her alive, and she uncovered the original Chu Yao's outrageous injustice: the Chu family had treated her like a human battery, planning to sacrifice her to the Mountain and River Seal to pave the way for her cousin, Chu Huaizhou. Then the whole family would be silenced. These people were black-hearted as the bottom of a pot! Chu Yao wasn't about to sit back and wait for death. With only five minutes left on her Mirage trial card, she decided to take a gamble, correctly guessing that the guilty Chu Huaizhou would come to visit her. She swiftly sent the maid away, lay down on the bed and pretended to be weak. With acting worthy of a Best Actress, she managed to project an air of barely holding on, planning to use those five minutes of smooth-talking to defy fate and change her future. After all, in the world of xianxia, staying alive depends entirely on keeping your acting skills sharp! Female lead (twirling a strand of hair around her finger, speaking with cheeky confidence): “Staying alive? It's all just acting.”
