Song Xinya transmigrated into a novel about a real and fake heiress. She was the fake heiress's twin sister, someone she'd never met, and so insignificant she wasn't even part of the story's background.
One day, a man claiming to be her twin sister An Jinrou's agent showed up at her door. He said An Jinrou was ill and asked Song Xinya to fill in for her for a while.
Only then did Song Xinya realize that the novel's plot had already ended. Her fake heiress sister, An Jinrou, had become a disgraced, notorious villain and fallen into a vegetative state after committing countless evil deeds.
Replace the fake heiress? You've got to be kidding. She just wanted to lie flat.
Song Xinya shook her head. "Sorry, but I refuse."
It wasn't just a question of whether she could handle the job. There was no way Song Xinya could bear An Jinrou's mountain of scandals and reputation for making enemies wherever she went.
"What if she has to pay billions in compensation? Can you really live with that?"
The cold, callous man showed her a photo of An Jinrou, pale and fragile, with a respirator on her face.
"Can you bear to make her go to court in that condition? If she loses, she'll die as soon as she's discharged from intensive care."
Song Xinya wavered, but still shook her head. What did any of this have to do with her? You reap what you sow.
"You'll get all the studio's income while you're filling in. In a year, you'll make enough to last a lifetime. Doesn't that tempt you?"
She could spend one year working and then lie flat early? Song Xinya was tempted.
"But I can't act."
"With An Jinrou's acting skills, even if you're terrible, you can't be much worse."
Song Xinya gritted her teeth. "Fine. One year at most!"
Her agent, Gu Weizhou, gave her a triumphant smile. "No problem."
And just like that, Song Xinya unwittingly took her sister's place, becoming An Jinrou, the notorious villainess and scandal-ridden actress.
She'd only meant to coast through life, but somehow she became a huge star.
At an event, she accidentally hummed a hit song from her previous life, and the king of pop begged her to collaborate with him?
When the female lead in a production slacked off and threw her weight around, Song Xinya stepped in and improvised a scene inspired by a hit show from her previous life. The director couldn't praise her enough. A supporting actress stole the show and made a comeback?
She casually tossed out a couple of jokes on a variety show and instantly became the queen of quotable lines, with buzz everywhere!
But...
"Wait, you never told me An Jinrou had a sugar daddy after she left the An family!"
Song Xinya, already in too deep after taking on the identity, clung to the doorframe and refused to budge.
Gu Weizhou cleared his throat. "An Jinrou was just a stand-in. If you don't like him, break it off."
"You never said I'd have to pretend to be a couple with someone else, either. How am I supposed to act all flirty with a stranger?"
"It's just an act to promote the new show. Trust me, he's even more disgusted by this than you are."
"And what about this? And that?"
The longer Song Xinya did the job, the more she felt she'd fallen into a trap. Eventually, she was sure she'd been tricked.
The sugar daddy who'd supposedly never cared about her wouldn't let her go. The top-tier star she'd been fake-dating liked their couple video. A hot young director hinted that she should sleep with him for a role...
Song Xinya, who only wanted to slack off, felt the world go dark. She really just wanted to make money! Damn men, stay away and stop getting in the way of her making money!
And Gu Weizhou, that sharp-tongued, two-faced agent, was getting stranger and stranger. He kept giving her odd looks and saying:
"I really regret asking you to take her place."
