[Coming soon: "Ace Assassin Becomes a Modern Security Guard and Retires in Peace" and "My Wife, Who Died During Our Honeymoon, Has Returned". Please add them to your reading list!] Xu Xinyou was an award-winning principal dancer. By accident, she transmigrated into a feel-good entertainment-industry novel as a vase-like cannon-fodder stand-in heroine. One moment, Xu Xinyou was at an awards ceremony. The next, the original male lead's fans had shoved her to the ground and were cursing her as shameless, while the male lead looked disgusted and reluctantly reached out to help her. She braced herself with one hand, flipped her long legs over, and performed a perfect back handspring to dodge his hand. The whole room was stunned. That day, Xu Xinyou made the trending list. Netizens waiting to attack her: Did Xu Xinyou just fly? She did, right? Right? * A week later, at the first performance of a girl-group audition show, Xu Xinyou shed her vase-like image. She stepped in at the last minute and dazzled the judges and audience with the killing part. The audience expected Xu Xinyou to show her true colors soon, waiting to see her get face-slapped, but instead they were the ones who got face-slapped. Xu Xinyou doted on her teammates and led them to turn the tables. Every performance went viral, she was the MVP every time, and she even became popular overseas. The dean of a music conservatory, a dance professor, and the editor-in-chief of an international fashion magazine all publicly supported her. Even the little princess of the country's biggest advertising company and a hugely famous actor started showing up to support her in person. Before the audition show, viewers: Xu Xinyou, get out of the entertainment industry! Stop holding the other girls back! After the audition show, viewers: Aaaah, she's a sniper onstage and a sweetheart offstage, born with the makings of a feel-good heroine, a flying little fairy! Get her into the center position! After the show ended, Xu Xinyou tore up the script, turned the tables against all odds, took the entertainment industry by storm, and rose to become a top-tier star. ★ Before reading, please check the reader's guide in the author's note of Chapter One. ★ She transmigrates into the original body.

XOXO!] [Coming soon: "Ace Assassin Becomes a Modern Security Guard and Retires in Peace"] Blurb: Li Xiu was an ace assassin in ancient times. After a lifetime of hustling, she finally saved enough for retirement and was ready to disappear, but unexpectedly transmigrated into a storybook set thousands of years in the future. After seeing all the schemes, rivalries, and chasing and fleeing in the story, Li Xiu had no interest in any of it. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and slowly save up for retirement. After leaving home, she happened to spot a job posting. [Security Guard, XX Talent Agency] Requirements: Young and strong, with relevant experience Benefits: Meals and accommodation included, no overtime, social insurance and housing fund Li Xiu: A perfect fit! Easy money, and a great retirement job! * After starting the job, Li Xiu discovered that strange people showed up outside the company every day. She dragged a shifty-eyed middle-aged man carrying a camera into a nearby alley for a thorough "talk". Then she grabbed a young person disguised as a food delivery courier, who was trying to sneak into the company, and threw them out. After that, anyone passing the entrance hurried along, sneaking a frightened glance at her. Li Xiu was very satisfied. The job really was easy, and she could also earn some extra cash as the company's performers' bodyguard. At a promotional event, an anti-fan disguised as a staff member handed a performer a drink laced with drugs. Just as the performer was about to drink it, Li Xiu smacked it away. "It's poisoned." The performer: !! A company performer was being slandered online and wanted to fight back, but couldn't find evidence against the culprit. That night, Li Xiu put on dark clothes, leaped across rooftops, and snapped photos of the culprit's crimes. The next day, she slapped the pictures down on the table. The performer: ?? At a gala, a rival had bribed the camera operator to film erratically. Li Xiu overheard them and simply knocked the operator out, then took over. The performer, just stepping onto the stage, saw Li Xiu carrying a camera: ??!!! Is there anything you can't do?! Later, the company's performers started taking every job they could get, fighting over who got Li Xiu as their bodyguard. Wherever she went, other agencies tried to poach her with huge salaries. Fans of other stars surrounded her, saying their idol's offer was even higher and begging her to switch sides. Even people outside the industry came to her door with money and gifts! Li Xiu: ??? I just want to retire in peace! Theme: Becoming a better person
