Why Is Director Zhou Like This?

My next novel will be After Becoming the Villain's Substitute Lover. Please add it to your favorites, and thank you!

Tian Mou and her childhood friend Chang Xiuchen went into business together and opened an entertainment company. But Tian Mou had another career, working as an extra on the streets of Hengcheng, while Chang Xiuchen did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun. The company had always depended on Director Zhou to keep it running.

The company had originally been a whim of Chang Xiuchen's, started so he could pursue a popular female streamer. But Director Zhou turned it into an industry leader.

Then the unexpected happened, and the hands-off boss suddenly found herself with a major headache.

The day after Tian Mou got blackout drunk, Director Zhou announced that he was quitting!

What? Why are you quitting? Is the salary not high enough? I'll give you shares, okay? What will the company and I do if you leave?

Director Zhou: I'm sick of being on call twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, to deal with your personal problems on top of my actual work.

After years of struggling in Hengcheng, a D-list actress finally rose to fame, only to be suppressed just as her show was airing. The media released a video suggesting that Tian Mou was being kept by a powerful entertainment executive.

The story spread, and the whole internet gathered to watch the drama unfold.

Tian Mou personally stepped in to deny the rumors.

@Tian Mou: Recently, someone claimed that I was being kept by Mr. Zhou, the boss of my company. I would like to clarify the following. If you want to verify anything, click the link below. www.jjqc.net As you can see on Jinjiang Company Search, Xingchen Media was funded equally by me and Chang Xiuchen, with each of us investing 50 percent. I hid my name before because I wanted to keep a low profile. I never expected it to lead to rumors like this. Do you still think I need Mr. Zhou to keep me when I'm the boss?

@Tian Mou: What I'm about to say is more important than clearing up the rumors about me being kept, so I'm posting it separately.

Chang Qian and I are indeed a couple. @MouMou's Husband Fan, this is Mr. Zhou's Weibo account. If you have any questions, you can ask him.

Tian Mou's fans were left stunned by her clarification.

What? Our beautiful, strong, tragic MouMou is actually the boss of Xingchen? Then all those times they cursed out the company, they were cursing MouMou herself?

What? MouMou is really dating Mr. Zhou? Then all those posts they kept sharing saying MouMou was single have just been face-slapped?

What? Isn't "MouMou's Husband Fan" the anti-fan pretending to be a fan who got permanently banned from the official fan group? He's actually Mr. Zhou of Xingchen Media? And he's the brother-in-law?

After Becoming the Villain's Substitute Lover

Blurb: Chen Yan is a stand-up comedian known for her sharp wit, keen observations, and humor.

But life is unpredictable, and while some audience members are perfectly normal, quite a few are mentally ill.

During a small theater performance, Chen Yan was stabbed by an audience member who suddenly rushed onto the stage. She fell into a coma and would not wake up.

Her body was asleep, but her mind was out partying.

Chen Yan's consciousness entered a novel called The Popular Idol Accidentally Wins the Adoration of a Movie Emperor. She became a supporting character with the same name as herself: the villain boss's substitute lover, who had nothing going for her except her good looks.

The title alone tells you what the novel is about. The male and female leads are a popular female idol who can sing and dance, has countless fans, and comes from a wealthy family, and a genius movie star who swept up every major award at a young age. But unlike other novels, no matter how talented or lovey-dovey the leads are, their accomplishments are confined to the entertainment industry. The real child of destiny in the novel is the female lead's adoptive brother, Chang Yi, the great villain who tries to keep the couple apart.

For some reason, however, the novel's world has gone haywire. The child of destiny has had his opportunities stolen time and again. The villain, who was supposed to become the head of the foremost family, has ended up requesting to leave the family business, only to live a dejected, miserable life and die young, ultimately causing the world to collapse.

Chen Yan's mission after entering the novel's world is to preserve the villain boss's character as the child of Heaven, reclaim the fortune that was originally his, and maintain the balance of the novel's world. Once she completes her mission, Chen Yan will be able to wake up in the real world.
