Office drudge Ling Wan transmigrates into the body of a washed-up actress in the entertainment industry, buried in scandals. The original owner had desperately clung to the top-tier star’s coattails to get famous.
Ling Wan arrives on the red carpet and makes up her mind on the spot: this time around, she just wants to lie flat. Whoever wants fame can have it!
But an exorbitant breach-of-contract fee puts an end to that plan. She makes doing the bare minimum her whole philosophy on variety shows, yet top-tier star and award-winning actor Wu Zhaobai pursues her relentlessly to get revenge.
On a variety show, she pretends to sleep and slacks off. He points the camera right at her face. “Look, Teacher Ling Wan is exploring immersive relaxation.”
At a red-carpet event, she tries to hide in a corner and blend into the background. He takes her hand. “Sorry, my girl is shy around people, so I have to keep an eye on her.”
Even when she saves up enough money to quietly leave the industry, he beats her to it. “Leave the industry? Finish filming this drama with me first.”
The whole internet erupts: ??? Is the top-tier star really trying to force this has-been into the spotlight?
Ling Wan is on the verge of tears. “I really just want to be a lazy fish!”
Later, as Ling Wan holds her Best Newcomer trophy, she finally realizes:
Ever since the day she transmigrated, every one of the actor’s moves had been part of a long-planned devotion to her!
It's a pretty good novel. It would be even better if the ending was more fulfilling
It's a very sweet little story, but the ending is a bit rushed, but the main storyline is complete and the small details are well drawn.
