A Bewitching Sickness [Entertainment Industry]

From orphanage castoff to entertainment-industry legend, Bo Ying's life was full of controversy. Some thought she was the one white feather on an angel's wing, while others believed she was a sinful whisper sent from Hell. And all she had ever wanted, from beginning to end, was a faint glimmer of light. A dark Mary Sue story, an animated GIF of how a white lotus becomes a black lotus. School bullying, social discrimination, rumors of incest: at the end of darkness, is there destruction or rebirth? Female lead traits: beautiful, extremely beautiful + hardworking genius + falling into darkness Angsty journey, happy ending. Career 60%, romance 40%. A few things to know before reading: 1. The setting is a fictional modern world. Most of the songs and movies mentioned in the story are based on real ones. 2. This world is not all darkness. It just so happens that the female lead encounters mostly darkness. 3. Before reading, please accept that the female lead has extraordinary charm. 4. No naive, sweet girls here. This is an adult's playground. 5. In this adult playground, only the most ruthless can laugh last. The more someone is tormented, the more ruthless they become. 6. A whole basket of melodrama. 7. Choose your ship carefully. If you back the wrong couple, all you can say is... we had our time. 8. Foreshadowing and details are planted throughout. Every event has its warning signs. 9. Don't trust your first impression of the characters. You can never see through someone's nature at first glance. 10. I haven't deleted a single bad review since I started writing. You can say you dislike me or my story, but please don't make personal attacks. If you slap someone, be prepared to get slapped back. 11. I take that last thing back. Some comments are just awful to read. As if the rest of us aren't little princesses, too. 12. You can ask for updates, but I won't reply to those comments. You can complain that the chapters are short, but I won't reply to those comments either. I'm just that willful, poof!

A sickly, scheming gray lotus who hides a blade behind her smile X a violent young wolfdog strong enough to lift a cauldron * Qin Nonghua set her sights on becoming Wu Zetian, but ended up with Zhuge Liang's fate. Unluckily, she became the first princess in transmigration history to die from overwork. When she opened her eyes, she was back at the moment she had first transmigrated. The kingdom hadn't fallen, her father was still alive, her few eccentric brothers had only just started fighting among themselves, and enemy spies hadn't yet had a chance to stir up trouble. Fraill and prone to coughing up blood at the slightest breeze, Qin Nonghua learned her lesson: being emperor is no job for a human. Better to raise a younger imperial brother instead. The newly born Ninth Prince seemed perfect. He had a tragic background and had suffered greatly. With just a little kindness from her, he would surely be so grateful he'd repay her even with his life. Years later. Qin Nonghua, who had aimed to become Lu Buwei and ended up ruling alongside the emperor, slowly typed a question mark. Before Qin Yaoyuan had the surname Qin, he once heard a madwoman muttering to herself behind a rock garden: "The First Prince is headstrong, the Second Prince is pathologically misogynistic... The Sixth Prince is utterly deranged, the Seventh Prince looks down on everyone, and the Eighth Prince quibbles over every last detail. Which lucky fellow should I manipulate to conquer the realm?" Qin Yaoyuan: Who would be so unfortunate as to become that unlucky fellow? Then the world shifted, and overnight he rose to power. The madwoman held his battered body in her arms, weeping like a flower in the rain. "From now on, your elder sister will share every hardship with you. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let you suffer a single injury!" Qin Yaoyuan: ...Oh, so I'm that unlucky fellow. * "I knew all along that you were false, cunning, and cold, an ambitious man with honeyed words and a sword in his heart." "I also knew your ambitions, your abilities, your pride, and the benevolence of a ruler you showed while wielding power and manipulating the court." "But I cannot let you know that my willingness to serve you has nothing to do with sharing your worries over the nation's dangers and decline, or pitying the people's suffering." "All my life, I've wanted nothing more than to meet you at daybreak and grow old with you beneath the first snow." "Elder Sister, when will you fulfill my dearest wish?" Theme: Even after falling into the abyss, you can be reborn.
