The Infamous Queen [Showbiz]

Chi Xiaoli died suddenly after winning every major Best Actress award. She was 24. She woke up to find she had transmigrated into a book, becoming a washed-up girl-group member in a novel aimed at male readers. Her original character was a terrible actress who used photo editing and eye drops to fake her way through things, and everyone despised her. Chi Xiaoli: "An actor's self-respect won't let me sink this low." System: "Collect disgust points immediately, or you will die." Chi Xiaoli: "Do you have any eye drops?" She just couldn't understand how everyone had figured out that she was a talented, dedicated actress. She was trying so hard to pretend to be useless. Had the entertainment industry really fallen this far? Please follow my ongoing column serial: "After She Left, the Immortal Venerable Slowly Went Mad." "To love someone is to be willing to give them the best things in the world, including yourself." That was what the Immortal Venerable Gu Xici told Miaomiao. "Then I'll give myself to you, Gu Xici." And so she sacrificed everything she had. Miaomiao loved seeing the usually pure and dignified Immortal Venerable lose control over and over again for her. Even though their love had to stay hidden, and loving him meant having her tendons carved out and her bones corroded in agony, she didn't care at all. Until the day she was trapped in a mound of corpses, clinging to life. She was bitten and torn apart amid the stench of death, forced to watch as the man she considered her whole world took a lethal blow for another woman and spat blood. Yet he didn't even glance at her. And that woman was delicate and pitiful, with gentle features and a face seven-tenths like her own. That day, omens filled the sky. The Vermilion Bird wept blood, and Miaomiao used every last bit of her strength to burn herself into a brilliant blaze of fireworks, vanishing from Gu Xici's world without a trace of regret. … The Vermilion Bird's rebirth required burning every drop of blood and every bone. When Cheng Miaomiao awoke again, she had been transformed from head to toe. Only after waking did she learn that she had once been the exalted princess of the Vermilion Bird Realm. Before she could even take human form, she was kidnapped and locked in a cave, where she spent a foolish hundred years as someone's substitute. Now, restored to her true identity, she was dazzlingly beautiful, and countless outstanding men across the four seas were infatuated with her. One night, a thief broke into the princess's chambers. A luminous pearl illuminated his face, and everyone was drenched in cold sweat with shock. The usually aloof Immortal Venerable struggled to contain his emotions. His once-dark, calm eyes fixed on her, a sign of demonic possession glimmering in them. His voice was hoarse. "Miaomiao, I..." A sword pierced his collarbone. The little spirit beast Miaomiao, who had once wept softly in his arms a hundred years ago, stared at him coldly, her eyes full of scorn. "Who do you think you are, daring to call the princess by her name?" It was the first time in Gu Xici's life that he had ever shown such a pitiful side in front of others. Of course, it wouldn't be the last. … Miaomiao didn't know that after her rebirth, Gu Xici had gathered her ashes in his hands. His eyes were red, his energy in disarray, and he went on a killing spree. In that moment of madness, he looked nothing like an Immortal Venerable, and everything like a demon from hell. Note: There is very little suffering for the heroine. The main focus is the hero's redemption as he pursues his wife. Please add this to your collection, and thank you, dear reader!
