Nan Qiao transmigrates into a novel about a real heiress and a fake heiress.
The good news: she's the real heiress, and her biological parents treat her well.
The bad news: the female lead is the fake heiress, and the real daughter of the richest man in the country.
In the book, the fake heiress makes a scene and picks on the real heiress until she's squandered the last of her family's affection and gets kicked out of the Nan family.
Three months later, the Nan family goes bankrupt. Her eldest brother is paralyzed in a car accident and dies in despair. Her second brother is exposed for academic fraud and disgraced for life. She's sold off to northern Myanmar, where she gets caught up in scams, gambling, cigarettes, alcohol... and her life ends all too soon.
No, please!
Clutching a notoriously shady talent agency, Nan Qiao decides it's time to get serious. Then the entertainment industry beats her up like a rookie recruit.
Why did nobody tell her that forming a CP would mean getting sold off for sure?
Doxxing, rumors, insults. She sees a screen full of comments saying, "If they don't sell the CP, go die," and her own artist on the verge of a breakdown. Nan Qiao's rebellious streak kicks in.
She's not selling the CP. She's already ascended!
