The Empress Becomes a Top-Tier Star [Ancient Times to Modern Day]

[Complete and ready to binge. Please read the guide below the blurb before starting.]

The dignified and noble Empress Shen accidentally transmigrates into the body of a notorious, scandal-ridden star. Looking at the original owner's antis and their endless stream of cheap smear campaigns, Empress Shen frowns: ???

The antis of scandal-ridden star Shen Chu have recently decided she's becoming a tough opponent.

On a variety show, Shen Chu brazenly questions the answer to a common-knowledge question.

Antis: Is Shen the Green Tea really illiterate?

Then a renowned scholar suddenly speaks up: Shen Chu is right.

Shen Chu becomes a pretty-face mentor on a dance show, but bluntly says the contestants' skills are far too poor.

Antis: If you're so good, show us what you can do.

Shen Chu promptly performs a long-lost dance, and even a top dancer asks her for guidance.

Antis: It's just singing, dancing, and playing instruments! She calls herself an actress, but her acting is awful. How does she have the nerve to brag?

Before long, #Shen Chu, Best Actress# hits the headlines.

Antis: ...

After getting their faces slapped several times, some of them suddenly realize, while hating on her: Huh? This woman is actually annoyingly sweet?

#I can't stop myself from climbing over to another fandom#

#I was a professional anti, but I've fallen for the other side#

One day, a video trends online. In it, Shen Chu appears to be pestering a business tycoon.

The antis rejoice: Who doesn't know the tycoon hates little stars who try to latch onto him? Shen Chu is definitely going to be buried at the bottom of the entertainment industry!

Later, the full video comes out. The tycoon gently reaches out his hand to Shen Chu, but she recoils as if he were a snake: "Men and women should keep their distance. Please behave yourself."

The tycoon posts on Weibo: I was the one pestering her.

Antis: Sorry to bother you :)

Guide to reading:

1. The heroine transmigrates from ancient times to the modern era, but she's not an empress in the traditional sense. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

2. The entertainment industry characters are not based on real people. Everything is the author's imagination, so please don't draw comparisons.

3. Both the ancient and modern settings are fictional. Please don't scrutinize the details; it's all for indulgent sweetness and satisfaction.

4. This is a plot-driven story, mainly about how the empress makes her way in the entertainment industry. The romance develops slowly.

5. Important: I recommend buying one chapter at a time. Please don't buy the whole book at once, so it's easier to drop it if you want to.

My next book, Tattoo, is now open for pre-release collection. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites~

The first time Gu Qingyou met Wen Shenghan, she'd taken money from his fiancée and agreed to help catch him cheating.

It was her first time doing anything like this. Her voice trembled, and her hands shook as she reached for the man's neck, though her voice sounded coquettish and alluring. "Mr. Wen..."

Wen Shenghan gripped her wrist and looked at her through his cold lenses, a faint, mocking smile on his lips.

He placed a bank card on the pillow, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You're so young. Couldn't you find something better to do?"

--

The second time they met, Gu Qingyou was being chased by creditors and rushed into his private room in a panic.

She threw caution to the wind, sat on the man's lap, and curled up in his arms, weeping as if the world had ended. "Mr. Wen, help me. I'll give you anything."

Wen Shenghan paused as he pushed her hand away. The moment the creditors came through the door, he pulled her forcefully into his arms.

--

Later, everyone said she was Wen Shenghan's mistress.

Only she knew that wasn't true.

That day, she reached for his neck again, but he pulled her down.

Ignoring her tear-streaked face, Wen Shenghan firmly wrapped a coat around her and fastened every button.

He wiped away her tears, his gaze pitying. "Qingyou, you should understand. I will never love you."

She wasn't even as much as a mistress to him. At last, she gave up hope and left the country without looking back.

-

Years later, they met again. The man got roaring drunk in front of her, and one day, by chance, she saw a dragonfly tattoo on his chest.

Only then did she learn that during those turbulent years, he had loved her for five years, too.

-

#You are my tattoo, printed on my skin, branded on my heart, carved into my soul, until death#

#I love you, but I won't love you until you become a towering tree#
