My new novel, "The Whole World Thinks I'm a Femme Fatale [Entertainment Industry]," is open for follows. Theme: An examination of women's predicament.
Blurb: It's not that she's good at being alluring; it's that her innocence has led her astray.
Xiao Yiyi is a confirmed bachelor who has no plans to marry, despite being well past the usual marrying age. Because she's rather pretty, she's repeatedly harassed by senior executives at her company. She swallows her anger to keep her job, but her attempts to handle the situation only make things worse, so she can only pour out her frustrations to an anonymous forum's confessional thread.
Then, after three years of intermittently going a little crazy and visiting the thread, she finally triggers the System's "Irresistible Charm" skill.
Xiao Yiyi: "Being called alluring or blessed with moonlike beauty is an insult. It's a way to secretly smear my name and spread dirty rumors! I'm a respectable woman who's still single at an age when everyone expects me to be married. I just want to take life as it comes and enjoy a few peaceful days. I don't want this skill!"
System: "The skill will keep growing stronger as your fame increases. The greater your fame, the stronger the skill."
Xiao Yiyi lets out a long breath. "I'm just a low-key good-for-nothing accountant at an entertainment company. I don't know anyone once I leave the office. Surely I can live in peace, right?"
Not long afterward, thanks to the economic downturn and the meddling of the executive whose advances she rejected, she is thrown into a variety show as cannon fodder, despite being hopeless at singing and dancing. Unexpectedly, she becomes a hit.
In the script, she was supposed to be a laughingstock, but people keep stepping in to save her at the last minute.
Comments: "Who is that sweet-looking girl with the wistful eyes? She's so pitiful, I can't help but love her! If I were XXX, I wouldn't have the heart to eliminate her either, okay?!"
System: "Charm rating increased..."
Xiao Yiyi, rushing to explain: "I was clearly just making a last stand to get away from that greasy guy!"
After gaining a little fame, she's invited to act in a TV drama.
Xiao Yiyi: "This character is famous for her innate allure. How am I supposed to act seductive?"
Director: "Just tone down your gaze a little."
After the show airs on satellite TV, it shoots straight to the top of the trending charts and takes the internet by storm:
# Xiao Yiyi turns seven-point beauty into a twelve-point stunner
# Xiao Yiyi, born alluring
System: "Charm rating increased..."
Xiao Yiyi: "I'm not supposed to be happy about this, am I?"
Rumors then flood in, making her the focus of public opinion. She's branded a man-eater and a natural-born seductress.
System: "Charm rating increased..."
Xiao Yiyi: "How rude! Have you never met a wholesome big sister? I've been single since birth, with an innocent heart. A girl is a girl until the day she dies, got it?"
Novel blurb:
Qingwen was the most beautiful maid in the Jia household, quick-witted and capable, and skilled at needlework. Grandmother Jia had long since chosen her to become Jia Baoyu's concubine.
She therefore treated Yihong Courtyard as her home, sharing in its fortunes and misfortunes. She devoted herself completely to Baoyu and kept the young maids strictly in line, believing it was her duty.
Only when Madam Wang branded her a seductress, drove her from the Grand View Garden, and left her to die full of resentment did Qingwen realize how wrong she had been.
The Jia household was not her home. She was merely a pawn in the struggle between Grandmother Jia and her daughter-in-law, Madam Wang, used to test the waters and strike at each other.
Now that she has the good fortune to live again, she will make plans for herself.
An alternate-timeline story based on Dream of the Red Chamber.
As the Hibiscus Girl gradually steps beyond the Grand View Garden and frees herself from the constraints of status, she will find a very different life.
A plot-driven epic. Follow and enjoy. Supporting characters have substantial roles, fair warning. Baoyu and Daiyu pairing, fair warning. Every pairing in the story is based on the practicalities of marriage, not on some immortal love, fair warning.
Life is made up of countless coincidences. A butterfly flaps its wings, and everything changes.
What becomes of Jia Baoyu's marriage when Lin Daiyu is no longer frail and sickly, and Xue Baochai finds another way to bring glory to her family?
What becomes of Yihong Courtyard when Qianxue is no longer unfairly driven out, and someone has Little Red's back? Who will prevail in the struggle between Grandmother Jia and her daughter-in-law, Madam Wang?
When the great house begins to fall, some swim against the current, while others shelter the flowers.
Theme: 1. Are kings and generals born to their station? Though born low, we refuse to give in. 2. Princes and noble sons are all worldly men; a woman or two can run a household just as well.
Thank you for accompanying me. The author has a great style and has written a Red Mansion that transcends my heart.
If this guy had appeared earlier, I would have liked him to be the male lead. Brother Ping, please work harder! ! !
The more I look at it, the more I feel that this court is not good enough.
I suddenly remembered a saying, all the gifts given to you by fate are secretly marked with chips.
! ! ! I asked them why they didn't go anywhere else but Tianqi Temple. They were waiting here. I was speechless. At first, I thought that the Jia family was in a bad state and that it would not be unjust if the house was confiscated. But later I realized that other families in the capital were in the same bad state. Everyone is on the same level. There is no shortage of dirty things like male thieves and female prostitutes in every family. The Jia family is not considered to be crotchless, but some gain and some lose.
I finished reading it in one go. Qingwen, who is actually the cleanest in Yihong Courtyard, finally got a good result. Thank you to the author.
Everyone in the court and harem thought that the emperor's grandson was interested in her, so they treated her attentively. It would be fine if they knew that they were not being cold and polite. What if they felt that they were being tricked and took revenge on Qingwen and the others? If the emperor's grandson failed, would he instruct his men to let them give Qingwen to him with all their strength? If he really insisted on getting Qingwen, what would Qingwen do? Will the grandson's concubines deal with Qingwen? Is Shunyi Hou pretending to be stupid or already knowing and testing Qingwen.
Dizzy, I feel like Brother Ping is now taking the initiative to send the sheep into the tiger's mouth. But with Qingwen's temper, she would never agree. I feel that she is quite dull when it comes to relationships. Whether a man is excellent or not, she doesn't care at all and has no unnecessary emotions. Someone like Prince Zhongshun seemed to be quite good. If it were someone else who would be rushing in the morning, she was only afraid. She only thought about rejection and was afraid of offending others. What will happen next?
God, what should Qingwen do? The prince is satisfied that it is very easy to escape, but Qingwen will die.
Didn't the eldest wife and Jia Lian disappear in exile?
