The Noble Consort Becomes a Sensation After Being Forced to Work

Please bookmark my next novel, I Really Fell in Love! Consort Tong Nianjin transmigrated! She arrived just before she was supposed to outlive the emperor and seize power over the court, but instead of being a max-level palace schemer, she woke up as Tong Zhen, a starlet with a long list of scandals. After learning that her historical self had died young at just twenty-five, the now twenty-four-year-old consort only wanted to be a lazy couch potato. Forced by poverty, the consort joined a variety show called The Black Lotus Banquet. The thirty-six actresses on the show each had their own scandals, and everyone saw it as a chance to clear their names. One by one, they acted humble, low-key, and uncompetitive in front of the cameras. The consort, however, stayed true to herself, arrogant and domineering, nitpicking and acting superior. Consort: I'm tired. I don't want to pretend. Don't bother me. I just want to enjoy eating and wait to die. When her teammates invited her to exercise together, the consort refused without hesitation: "No thanks. I heard overexercising can speed up your death. I want to live a few more days." When a fellow actress from her agency wanted to deny their feud on camera, the consort politely refused: "I don't have much time left. I don't want to waste it on putting on an act." The director thought she didn't have enough footage and asked her to show more of herself on camera. The consort retorted, "Will you pay me more for that?" After the show aired, the consort unexpectedly became a sensation!!!! The audience showered her with love: "I can't keep up the grind anymore. I want to be a dreamless couch potato like Tong Zhen, too." "How does Tong Zhen manage to turn people down without feeling guilty? I'm so jealous I'm crying." "Workers have a worker's soul. I hereby declare Tong Zhen the role model for all working people!" "I don't want to pretend to work hard, pretend to be easygoing, compete with people, or make awkward small talk... Ah, Tong Zhen has become the person I want to be." After twelve episodes, the consort made it through every round and won the title of the Grand White Lotus. She also landed a new job: playing the lead role of Tong Nianjin, the favored consort of Emperor Jin Hui, in a major historical drama based on her own life. The consort, forced to get back to work: Playing myself? How wonderful! * Jiang Yuchi, the heir to Morningstar Entertainment, was cool and refined, distant and untouchable. Everyone who met him described him as strictly professional and hard on himself. No one knew that after meeting "Tong Zhen" once, a tempest had begun raging beneath his composed exterior. From then on, he began lowering his standards at a dizzying pace. Tong Zhen can't get on the show? No problem. I'll make an exception. Tong Zhen is being dragged through the mud online and is trending? Don't worry. I'll handle the PR! When he was told that abruptly taking down the trending topic would anger netizens and hurt Tong Zhen, Jiang Yuchi gave the order. The famous stars under his company all started breaking news to push it off the trends. The entertainment industry was shaken that day. Some stars announced secret marriages, some revealed they had children, and others went public with their relationships. Morningstar's major productions also announced their casts and crews one after another. Meanwhile, Tong Zhen's PR team, tearing their hair out and ready to line up on the roof: ...Holy crap, what kind of luck did we just have! This is the story of a consort making her mark in show business and eventually winning the heart of a big shot. Blurb for I Really Fell in Love: Their wedding was just around the corner, but the bride disappeared without a word. Zhou Shaoxu tried to entice Situ Nian with money and charm. At last, he persuaded the woman with the same name as his runaway bride to agree to a one-year fake marriage. After the wedding, they lived their lives without interfering in each other's affairs. * Situ Nian never imagined that one day a man would try to buy her marital status. Once she understood what he wanted, she turned him down without hesitation. "Sorry, money can't buy my principles." Less than an hour later, after learning that her family needed a huge sum to stay afloat, she immediately changed her mind: "Money can't buy my principles, but it can lower them as far as you want." She's a bona fide cultivator, a beauty amid a mess. She uses the most expensive skincare products, stays up till the early hours, and arranges her room however she likes. As Zhou Shaoxu, a germaphobe with a level-ten case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, grew more and more irritated, Situ Nian could see her miserable fate approaching: he would throw her out before long. But before she could hide her smile, she spotted Zhou Shaoxu on the projection screen. He had forgotten to turn off the projector and was in the bathroom, discussing a solution with a friend over the phone. Zhou Shaoxu: [What do I do if I don't want to get divorced when the agreement expires?] [If your powerful personality can't keep her, then use your body!] Situ Nian: "..." * On Valentine's Day, Situ Nian didn't expect to receive a gift. After all, her husband was fake, the wedding was just for show, and their marriage was in name only. Sure enough, Zhou Shaoxu came home empty-handed that evening. Fine, no gift. But then he shamelessly edged closer, trying to get her attention. Situ Nian was annoyed and tried to push him away, but he grabbed her wrist and placed her hand on his waist. Zhou Shaoxu: Here's your Valentine's Day gift. Be good and unwrap it yourself! Theme: Cherish the person in front of you
