Qin Jingyi must have had a screw loose when she gave up a fortune to apply for the acting program at the Central Academy of Drama.
But she regretted it as soon as she graduated. After acting in just one mediocre teen idol drama, she decided to leave the entertainment industry and study finance abroad, planning to return home and inherit the family business.
Who would have thought that, despite all her efforts to avoid it, she would still fall into the entertainment industry's deep pit?
And... people actually looked down on her?
Her college classmate, whom she'd once thoroughly trounced: "Heh. Weren't you so smug before? What a nobody!"
A die-hard fan of Tang Fei, a top actress: "Heh. You have no talent and can only ride our Tang's coattails to get attention. You're yesterday's news!"
A Weibo troll: "Heh. All you do every day is cling to powerful people. How many people did you sleep with to get where you are, huh? Trash!"
Qin, worth hundreds of millions, the head of Tang Fei's company, and the ultimate powerful figure everyone else wants to cozy up to: ???
But before she could even say anything, her former nemesis, now a top celebrity in her own right, Tang Fei, blew up first.
Tang Fei: What's it to you? Qin Jingyi's under my protection!
Tang Fei: If she's famous, I'll promote her. If she's washed up, I'll support her! It's what I want to do. What business is it of yours? Huh?
Qin Jingyi, pretending to be weak, pitiful, and helpless: Mm-hmm, okay, okay. Love you, darling~
Some time later, Tang Fei accidentally uncovers the secret identity of her own "poor little thing": ?????
Qin Jingyi: What's so great about the entertainment industry? It's chaotic and annoying. Isn't it better to peacefully be a CEO?
Some time later...
Qin Jingyi: I take it all back.
A CEO with a quirky style who does whatever strikes her fancy x an actress with an odd way of thinking and a personality like a force of nature
