Simulating My Life in the Entertainment Industry

Fresh out of university and struggling to find a job, Lin Lin gets bound to a [Life Simulator].

She thinks her luck has finally turned and that getting rich is just around the corner.

Who knew the System would turn out to be an incomplete version?

Simulation attempts have to be activated by personal popularity, and it only works in the entertainment industry.

Since she was bound to it anyway, and imagining how much money she could make in entertainment, Lin Lin registers several short-video accounts and starts posting [999 Ways for an Ordinary Person to Break into Showbiz]. Then she buys a train ticket straight to Hengdian World Studios.

After Lin Lin bounces between film sets as an extra, and her accounts garner a tiny bit of attention, the System panel flickers to life.

The results of her first simulation pop up in no time.

After six months as an extra:

[You auditioned for the minor role of Woman N in the serious drama Mountain Village Family. The casting director threw your resume straight into the trash without even looking at it.]

[You auditioned for the fifth female lead in the costume idol drama Immortal Path with Me. You landed the role, but on the day filming wrapped, one of the leads became a celebrity with a criminal record, and the entire show was shelved.]

You struggle in Hengdian for five years, going from extra to featured extra, then from featured extra to working for nothing.

[Disheartened, you decide to return to your hometown…]

[Congratulations, you've unlocked the achievement: Might as Well Get a Regular Job.]

A simple story about simulating life in the entertainment industry.
