A Leisurely Life in Showbiz

Gu Jiayun came from a family of opera performers and had always dreamed of appearing on stage. But when he was fifteen, his voice gave out.

In despair, Gu Jiayun studied crosstalk for several years. Just as he was about to apprentice under a master and enter the profession, the master studied him carefully and said, "Kid, that face of yours really isn't suited to crosstalk."

When he got home, Gu Jiayun picked up a knife. He was debating whether to ruin his looks to show his resolve when his phone suddenly rang.

"Yunbao, what are you doing today? When are we going into the dungeon?"

Gu Jiayun answered honestly, "I'm afraid I can't go today. I'm about to ruin my face, so I'll probably need to rest tonight."

"...Don't do anything stupid. Let's talk this through!"

Gu Jiayun helplessly confided his troubles to his gaming partner. After a moment of silence, a tentative message finally came from the other end.

"With a face like that, why do crosstalk? Why not join the entertainment industry?"

Years later, Xie Li beat his chest and stamped his feet, hating himself for his careless remark back then. Why had he told Gu Jiayun to enter the entertainment industry?

Now there are rivals everywhere, everywhere! Aaaah!

This is a shameless story about a rich second-generation heir and a young star, a sweet and cozy, feel-good romance about leveling up.

Next novel: "The Plot Went Completely Off Script After I Transmigrated Into a Book." Blurb:

Shen Hua had just finished reading a political intrigue novel in which a villainous powerful minister crushed everyone. As he gritted his teeth over the villain's many crimes, a bolt of lightning...

He transmigrated into the book.

He became the cannon fodder persecuted by the villain.

He was dragged before the villain and forced to bow his head. "Why aren't you paying your respects to Lord Zhang?"

He looked up and saw his indenture contract in the villain Zhang Yao's hand.

Shen Hua: This must be Heaven arranging a revenge plot for me. With a knife in hand, I'll kill Zhang the Dog and charge...

Zhang Yao: "You are descended from a family of good generals. You shouldn't have ended up like this. I will raise you well and help you become a fine man."

Shen Hua: Looks like I've got an eighteen-year undercover-in-the-enemy-camp plot. I'll play along and bide my time, waiting for a chance...

Zhang Yao: "You should set your heart on the right path and become a pillar of the nation. As for matters of the heart, we can discuss them later."

Shen Hua: ...??? What happened to getting revenge, avenging my humiliation, fighting the treacherous minister, and defeating the boss?!

#Shen Hua, who never gets the right script

#If you can't beat the enemy, join them

#Keep smiling and carry on

Coming soon: "I'm Competing with the Underworld for Business." Blurb:

Lan Zhao had been able to see people's souls since childhood.

When he was twelve, he helped a resentful ghost who wandered the human world mend a corner of its soul. From then on, he became a professional soul mender, renowned in ghost circles.

But fame comes with trouble. One day, his reputation reached the Underworld. The big shot Yun Jiu descended from the sky and pressed a long blade against Lan Zhao's neck, his gaze deep and icy. "You're the first person to dare compete with the Underworld for business."

In a moment of desperation, Lan Zhao flung out a talisman. The big shot landed face-first on the ground.

Yun Jiu: "You know you'll have to report to the Underworld someday, right?"

Lan Zhao: "That won't be for a long time. For now, you're my prisoner."

Yun Jiu: "Kid, you're really playing with fire. You don't have to wait until later. You'll pay for this very soon!"

Everyone in the Underworld knew that Ninth Master had someone stealing his business.

Some busybodies got the itch to teach that ignorant mortal a lesson on Ninth Master's behalf, but Ninth Master slapped every one of them away.

Yun Jiu: "What do you know? He steals my business, I steal his heart. I come out ahead."

Coming soon: "Court Intrigue Is No Match for a Career." Blurb:

1.

Bai Yuanxiu was on her way to a blind date arranged by her family when she got into a car accident. In a flash, she transmigrated. When she woke up, she found herself the eldest daughter of a vice minister's family, and her family was arguing fiercely over her marriage.

Her stepmother wanted her to marry her nephew, her father wanted her to marry a widowed prince, and her brothers wanted her to enter the palace and compete for the emperor's favor...

Bai Yuanxiu had been afraid of marriage in her past life too, so she slipped away. When she spotted the imperial notice seeking female officials, she immediately applied! Why bother with court intrigue when she could build a career?

2.

Qi Moxiao had witnessed the loathsome faces of the imperial consorts fighting for power since childhood, and deep down he detested and rejected women.

But after ascending the throne, he still had no choice but to have a harem of three thousand beauties in order to stabilize the court.

The turmoil at court had already worn him out, and he simply didn't have the energy to deal with all the scheming beauties. An idea struck him, and he posted an imperial notice: Female officials wanted, generous benefits. Applicants must be ambitious and willing to remain unmarried.

The officials in charge were tearing their hair out. "Your Majesty! What woman in the world would be willing to remain unmarried?"

As it turned out, one did.

A girl as beautiful as a celestial maiden appeared before the emperor. With a face like hers, no one believed she would focus on her work instead of stirring up trouble.

A month later, the harem was peaceful and harmonious.

Six months later, she had helped the emperor organize mountains of official documents.

A year later, one of her occasional suggestions saved countless lives.

Then one day, Qi Moxiao gazed at the female official and said, "What if... I were to take back the edict I issued back then?"

Theme: The male lead is a breath of fresh air in the materialistic entertainment industry. He works hard, hones his acting skills, and falls in love purely.
