Negotiation expert Jiang Heng died suddenly at the negotiating table. When she opened her eyes, she had become Ruan Tang, an infamous, bottom-rung actress in a novel, hated by the entire internet.
Her company had put her on ice, her contract penalty was five million, and she had just 3,800 in her account.
The whole internet was waiting for her to cry.
She refused to give them the satisfaction.
A grudge ledger and a phone stand: that's all she needed.
What you owe me, I'll collect one item at a time. What you did to me, I'll pay back one item at a time.
You swap out my script? I'll gather evidence in front of everyone, and the whole crew can be witnesses.
You hire online trolls to smear me? I'll debunk it live with my tech skills, and save a copy of your rate card while I'm at it.
You use family ties to pressure me? I'll settle the whole account, with interest, on a televised confrontation.
Capital wants to hunt me down? I'll slap a chart tracing your ownership structure right on your desk.
She went from being hated by the entire internet to having everyone call her "sis" in just one winter.
As for romance...
