The Goofy Villainess Became a Wrecking Ball in the Entertainment Industry

Wen Ying transmigrates into an entertainment-industry novel as a flirtatious female side character. The original character's scheme is exposed later in the story, and she even loses her life.

After transmigrating into the book, Wen Ying discovers that the original character was bound to a "Sea King System."

System: [If you don't do the missions, you won't survive.]

Wen Ying: [Oh.]

At the time, the original character is appearing on a dating reality show.

Male contestant No. 1 asks Wen Ying out shopping: "I've never met anyone so compatible with me. We have exactly the same interests and tastes, so..."

Wen Ying: "We'd be better off as sisters."

Male No. 1: ??

System: [You can't do that.]

To show how kindhearted he is, Male No. 3 raves about how cute the pigs on his farm are.

Wen Ying: "The piggies are so cute. How can you eat them? So can I have all the braised pork?"

Male No. 3: "..."

System: [You really can't do that.]

By the end of the show, Wen Ying has successfully maxed out the favorability of every female guest, as well as random passersby A, B, C, and so on.

System: [Please, stop flirting with everyone. I'm really running out of item cards.]

Male No. 4 is an esports superstar, aloof and sharp-tongued. When fans first hear he's joining a dating show,

they say: The pro would never like some pretty face.

Blurb: Pei Qingshi, a lingzhi mushroom spirit, transmigrates into a novel as the assistant to film emperor Ji Xichi. In the original story, when Ji Xichi falls ill, she betrays him and joins his nemesis, Shen Nian, the male lead. In the end, she dies miserably on the street.

Pei Qingshi follows Ji Xichi back to the countryside while he recuperates, only for a reality show featuring Shen Nian to begin filming right outside their home.

While Shen Nian is exhausted from standing in the sun,

Pei Qingshi is lounging with Ji Xichi, eating chilled watermelon;

while Shen Nian schemes against the other guests,

Pei Qingshi is admiring flowers and painting with Ji Xichi;

while Shen Nian is mired in scandals,

Ji Xichi has fully recovered...

After the show airs, Pei Qingshi, who accidentally appears onscreen, becomes famous. Her painting sells at auction for tens of millions; the flowers she grows are an endangered species; even her lazy, sprawled-out pose becomes the meme "Fairy Salty Fish Lounging.jpg" and goes viral online.

Pei Qingshi: I'm so jealous of you all. When you're not famous, nobody bothers you.

The guests, who are fighting tooth and nail for more screen time: ???

Later, with Ji Xichi having been out of sight for a long time, all sorts of rumors spread online. A female entertainer even takes the opportunity to use his name for clout.

Ji Xichi posts a photo: In a flower-filled courtyard, film emperor Ji is carefully trimming the nails of a young woman. Sweet and charming, she lounges casually in his arms as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

Ji Xichi: I'm not dead. I'm busy. Don't @ me.
