The Bumping Scam Female Supporting Character Levels Up [Showbiz]

[Looking for advance readers: Willow Hues to Enchant / A Fierce Kiss at Dusk. Blurbs below~]

Shen Zhouzhou keeps shamelessly throwing herself at top-tier superstar Shen Conglin. First she pretends they're siblings, then she pretends they're dating, and finally she pretends he cheated on her. This scorned actress, mocked across the internet, has done everything a villainess is supposed to do.

Just as she's about to hit rock bottom, Shen Zhouzhou, a beloved and notorious all-round superstar from another world, arrives in her place.

After learning that she's been cast as the villainess, Shen Zhouzhou smiles scornfully.

It's still the same old shameless act:

Shen Zhouzhou: I want to go head-to-head with Shen Conglin onstage!

Shen Conglin: I will never work with an actress who shamelessly courts publicity!

A month later, the two contestants surnamed Shen set the stage ablaze on the Huaxia Singer show.

Shen Zhouzhou: I want to star in Shen Conglin's new drama and become his worst nightmare!

Shen Conglin: A pretty face like you dares to talk about acting? Stay away from me. If you get broken, don't blame me!

Half a year later, fans watch the villainous consort torment Shen Conglin to death in the drama. They're frustrated, but also just a little bit delighted.

The fans can't help whispering in their group chat: Honestly, watching our guy get face-slapped over and over is kind of satisfying?

Shen Conglin, lurking in the chat: ...

The fans start waiting for Shen Zhouzhou to court publicity again, but even after she becomes a superstar on par with Shen Conglin, it never happens.

A disgruntled Shen Conglin: When are you going to make our relationship official?

Shen Zhouzhou: Be good. That's not an option in the villainess script.

A bold and fiery heroine x a hero addicted to getting face-slapped

-- Blurb for Willow Hues to Enchant --

At sixteen, Liu Yue became the stepdaughter of Yan Qishao's maternal uncle in Dingcheng.

At nineteen, Liu Yue was tricked into climbing into Yan Qishao's bed. He kicked her right back out, leaving her a sickly invalid.

At twenty, Liu Yue's mother and stepfather died in a car accident.

Yan Qishao ended the civil strife within the Yan family of Dingcheng and became the untouchable Seventh Master Yan.

She was brought into the Yan household and became Seventh Master Yan's notorious lover. Ten years later, when he was preparing to marry, she was sent away.

She never got to enjoy the comfortable, wealthy life Seventh Master Yan had arranged for her. She died of illness one week before his grand wedding of the century.

Then, in what felt like a dream, thirty-year-old Liu Yue was reborn at sixteen.

This time, when she visited the Yan household, Liu Yue didn't foolishly hang around her "cousin" anymore.

She remembered what her father had told her, holding her hand before he died: "I hope you'll live up to your name and be resilient and steady."

She shouldn't have forgotten that in her previous life.

Theme: Strive to live.
