Disguised as a Man, I Make It in Showbiz [Book Transmigration]

[New story: Becoming a Stepmom in a CEO Romance. Please add it to your reading list!]

Blurb 1:

Lu Zhu, a martial arts stunt double, unexpectedly finds herself transported into a novel called Cross-Dressing to Make It in Showbiz, where she becomes one of the members of a boy band formed through a talent competition.

Surrounded every day by a group of hot, top-tier stars, life is truly inconvenient. She starts wondering how she can subtly, discreetly, and calmly tell everyone the truth about her identity.

Lu Zhu approaches Gu Shaoyin, one of the top-tier stars:

"There's something I need to tell you, so you might want to brace yourself."

"I don't want to brace myself. Don't tell me."

She tries Xiao Ruoxin, another top-tier star:

"Suppose, and I mean suppose..."

"I'm a realist. I don't do hypotheticals."

She goes on to Xie Mulin, a third top-tier star:

"You like hanging out with girls, right...?"

"No."

Finally, she approaches Zuo Ming, the fourth top-tier star:

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you..."

"Get lost. I'm broke!"

Rejected one after another, Lu Zhu snaps. "Today, you're going to listen whether you want to or not! I got my period!!!"

Blurb 2:

Poor Lu Zhu. The body she transmigrated into was unloved, and the terrible author changed her from a Mary Sue heroine into a jealous villainess. Even though she does everything she can to avoid a tragic ending, she still can't escape her assigned villain missions.

At long last, the group disbands. Then her identity as a woman is exposed, causing an earthquake in the entertainment industry. She thinks that at last she can hang herself in solitude amid the public's scorn and return to her original world.

But the plot goes off track?

Suddenly, she's surrounded by admirers. The companions who once looked down on her or questioned their own sexual orientation come running back to her.

The top-tier star thinks about her day and night.

The Best Actor won't leave her alone.

The God of Song can't get enough of her.

The big shot pursues her relentlessly.

Sigh, she's only trying to make a living. Life is really hard.

The upcoming story, Becoming a Stepmom in a CEO Romance, is available to follow in my author page.

Gan Yanyan has worked her fingers to the bone, expertly completing missions in all kinds of rich heiress stories, everyone-loves-the-heroine stories, replacement stories, and revenge stories. At last, the System sends her into a CEO romance that's a veritable stew of tropes, where she becomes a scheming, tea-sipping stepmother whose favorability is constantly being raised.

Being a stepmom is great. Spend as much money as you want, date as many young men as you like, and do bad things without feeling guilty.

The only thing she doesn't like is her villainous stepson, who has a role throughout the entire story and keeps making trouble for her.

When she goes swimming, he won't let her wear revealing clothes.

When she invites a young heartthrob for coffee, he won't let her get too close to him.

Even when she simply shakes hands with the original male lead, he makes her disinfect her hands and cover them in plastic wrap.

Come on, the old man has been doing ant races at the King of Hell's place for ten years. What relationship do they even have? Why's he so controlling?

If her inheritance weren't in his hands, Gan Yanyan would have packed up and left ages ago.

In the end, Gan Yanyan is still kicked out with nothing!

In front of all the influential figures in the family, she clings to her former stepson's leg and cries, "At least leave me a little something! You're worth billions, why are you still after my pittance?"

Wen Xiye crouches down, wipes the huge tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertip, and gazes deeply at her. "You think I'm after your money?"

Gan Yanyan: ??? Then what?

Years later, Gan Yanyan finally becomes a real mom. A reporter points at her basketball-sized belly and asks, "What message would you like to share with the baby?"

Thinking back on all the painful twists and turns, Gan Yanyan sighs. "I hope the baby doesn't take after its dad. His tastes are so extreme."

Mr. Wen, the baby's father, nods from nearby. "Mm, my wife is always right."
