Coming soon: Strong-Armed Tenderness and The Salty-Fish Supporting Actress Is Forced to Go Viral [Book Transmigration]. Please add them to your favorites!

Hua Qingyin, a music teacher with perfect pitch who can hear musical instruments speak, transmigrates into a book as a substitute supporting actress in an entertainment-industry novel.

The original body couldn't sing or dance, had countless haters, and was kicked out of her company and forced to leave the industry because she was infatuated with Xie Zhehan, a music superstar worth tens of billions. She then became a substitute for his unattainable first love, eventually ending up deaf and mute before dying a miserable death.

At a press conference, Hua Qingyin looked up coolly.

"Infatuated with him? I've been practicing piano. I don't have time for that."

Everyone: "You? You can play piano?"

Hua Qingyin stunned the whole room with a flamenco guitar piece, turning what was meant to be an apology press conference into a concert.

After tearing into the company, Hua Qingyin turned around and joined a talent show.

Haters: "Hua Qingyin has no talent and has lost her company. She's definitely finished!"

Instead, Hua Qingyin became a legend in the entertainment industry.

She played Chopin on the erhu and Bach on the suona. Her rock-meets-traditional take on Moon Reflected on the Second Spring not only redefined girl groups, it also transformed the talent show into a stage for promoting Chinese music, making waves both at home and abroad.

Her haters changed sides one after another, sending #MusicGoddess+NationalCallingCard# to the top of the trending list.

At Hua Qingyin's world tour master class, people spotted a familiar figure in the corner.

The Xie superstar, who commands half the music industry and has always been cold toward everyone, had actually come to sit in on her class?

From a distance, Xie Zhehan watched the girl onstage, microphone in hand, effortlessly hitting a B5. His icy expression slowly softened, tenderness filling his eyes and brows.

"I admit it. I'm infatuated with her."

"She's my one and only muse."

His assistant quickly handed him a note.

"Mr. Xie, if you want to attend our Music Goddess's class, you need to get in line and take a number."

Xie Zhehan opened it.

"Congratulations, No. 250."

A supremely cool musical prodigy with an enormous golden finger x an icy, calculating powerhouse producer

The female lead focuses on her career. The male lead gets his redemption arc.

Being adored by everyone is the female lead's passive skill. The male lead's unattainable first love isn't real.

Coming soon: Strong-Armed Tenderness. Please add it to your favorites! A cool, aloof beauty x a ruthless, wild, utterly shameless young master

[Warning] Old-school melodramatic style. The male lead takes what he wants by force at first, then suffers through a redemption arc as he tries to win her back.

Liang Shijing is the heir to a Kunqu opera family in Nanpu City. With a face like a hibiscus and a graceful figure, she is aloof and proud to her core. Simply standing onstage, she looks like a painting.

Yet three years ago, she voluntarily withdrew from a competition, gave up her stage costume, and devoted herself to cooking and homemaking, content to be Wen Chenchuan's caged songbird.

When people asked why, the once aloof beauty lowered her eyes and smiled. Not a trace of pride remained, and her eyes were full of sweetness.

"Chenchuan said we're getting married soon, so I should stop performing."

Wen Chenchuan, the richest man in Nanpu City, has a handsome face but is a lone wolf in business, ruthless enough to devour anyone in his way. He shows no mercy, not even to his own family, and always gets whatever he wants.

As everyone speculated that wedding bells were about to ring, a trace of mockery flashed through Wen Chenchuan's narrow phoenix eyes.

"Without that piece of paper, she's just an ornament. She can't escape my grasp."

Liang Shijing ended the relationship on the spot and chose to leave.

Wen Chenchuan raised an eyebrow and fastened his cuff link. If she'd had her fun and wanted to go, fine. She just better not come crying back to him.

Liang Shijing's face remained cool and composed as she tightened her grip. The diamond necklace worth tens of millions snapped.

"Between us, the transaction is settled. We owe each other nothing."

Three years later, Liang Shijing worked with her childhood friend and senior in the opera world on The Peony Pavilion. Everyone called them a perfect couple, and they won the highest award.

As her senior led her down from the stage, she unexpectedly met a pair of dark eyes.

Across the crowd, the man's fierce gaze seemed ready to pierce right through her.

Liang Shijing walked back to her seat without looking at him once.

The next day, the Kunqu troupe, which was on the verge of going bankrupt, received a large donation and a marriage application signed by Wen Chenchuan.

Liang Shijing crumpled the paper and tossed it into the trash.

Rumors spread that her senior and Liang Shijing were about to marry.

Wen Chenchuan waited downstairs from her home. When he saw her, he clamped her fiercely in his arms. "Come back to me. We'll get married right away."

Liang Shijing gently pulled herself from his embrace, looking at him as if he were a stranger.

"Mr. Wen, what a joke. Who marries an ornament?"

The rumors grew more convincing, and Wen Chenchuan panicked. His eyes reddened as he threatened her in a cold voice. "If you dare marry him, do you believe I couldn't ruin him with a snap of my fingers?"

"I believe you. But do you believe that if you do, you'll never see me again?"

Later, people saw the usually ruthless Wen Chenchuan waiting outside every one of Liang Shijing's performances, rain or shine, holding lilies and gazing at her with deep affection, all to beg for her forgiveness.

At first, everyone thought theirs was just a transaction. Only after the years had passed did they realize that what they had exchanged from the start was the rest of their lives.

This is the story of an arrogant bastard who, after treating love like a game, gradually gives his heart and then fights for dear life to win her back.

One-on-one romance.

The female lead is a little difficult. The male lead really is a bastard.

Kunqu opera is only a backdrop for the story and will not be explored in depth.

After transmigrating into nineteen female-lead stories, Yu Xianxian finally gets a villain role on her twentieth try: a cannon-fodder supporting actress who is desperate to become famous.

The original body was terrible at everything and a champion at self-destruction.

She tried every trick in the book to become famous and still failed. In the end, she even injured a top-tier star, got condemned by the entire internet, and was forced to apologize and leave the industry.

System notification: If you complete the task of leaving the industry early, you can take an unlimited vacation for the remaining time.

Yu Xianxian, who has mastered all kinds of skills but only wants to lie around like a salty fish, hugged the script and cried with joy. She could finally retire early!

And so...

Onstage, while everyone else worked hard to promote themselves, she lazily slacked off.

On location, while everyone else fought for the camera, she lay in the sun.

On set, while everyone else schmoozed with the director and veteran actors, she yawned and asked the producer what time they were wrapping.

Just as she was diligently playing the part of a salty fish and waiting for a chance to leave early, she realized things were nowhere near as simple as she'd thought.

Her lazy dancing turned into the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Robe Dance, and sunbathing turned her into a legend of fair skin. As for the yawning...

Viewers all said, "Xianxian, desperate to get off work, is just like me working a 996 schedule. She's so relatable!"

Yu Xianxian: ?

Her fans seized the chance to campaign for her. "Our Xianxian doesn't fight for attention. She's low-key and adorable. Let's each give her one vote and send her to center stage!"

Yu Xianxian: ??

At long last, the plot reached the part where she was supposed to sabotage the top-tier star.

Yu Xianxian was sure she could finally make her escape. But the handsome young man, who was supposed to stumble off a high platform, suddenly sprang into the air like a carp, grabbed her outstretched hand, and confessed passionately.

"Thank you for protecting me. This time, I'll protect you."

The audience cried out that they were so sweet together, a love made in heaven!

Yu Xianxian: ???

I really was just trying to give you a push!

Watching herself grow more and more famous, with leaving the industry nowhere in sight, Yu Xianxian finally let out a helpless roar.

Please, just let me stick to the pan and never get up!

Her fans, who called themselves dried fish, raised their cheering shovels. "Our precious girl deserves to be famous!"
