After Leaving the Entertainment Industry, I Built a Fan Club of Talented Authors

Novel blurb: Heart-Pounding Girls is the country's first major audition-style reality show, produced by a certain platform.

Despite the huge investment behind this audition show for young women, it got off to a disastrous start on its premiere day, with its popularity crushed by a reality show on a smaller platform next door.

Wives Who Ride the Wind and Break the Waves is a variety show featuring wealthy married women over thirty competing for a chance to debut.

Before watching, netizens said, "Um... Married women in their thirties still want to debut through an audition show? Have they got no sense?"

After watching, netizens said, "Ahhhhh! Did I see that right? The wives use makeup remover that costs 28,000 yuan a bottle, and the tea they drink every day is top-grade Longjing! Ahhhhh! This is the life of a rich wife I've always dreamed of!"

"Holy crap! The outfits the wives wear onstage are custom-made in limited editions by famous designers... Their performances are practically red-carpet events. The styling and costume design are incredible! After seeing this, who cares about some Heart-Pounding Girls?"

The System watched the wives, who were supposed to be at home serving their husbands, shine onstage with confidence and charm. It should have been furious and scolded its Host, but instead it said, "...Sob! The wives are so rich and work so hard. I'm a fan now! Go, girls!"

Coming soon: My Retirement Life Can't Possibly Be This Relaxing. Please add it to your reading list!

Blurb:

After completing 996 quick transmigration missions, Jiang Zhi finally gets to enjoy a retirement life where she can lie flat.

Before leaving, the System tells her: [This is the last time we'll meet. I've picked out a retirement world for you. There, you won't have to worry about a thing. Just get plenty of rest and be a lazy fish lying flat.]

This is exactly the life Jiang Zhi has dreamed of.

The System says: [Once you've made up your mind, just press this button to teleport immediately. When you reach your retirement world, you won't have to worry about anything. Just get plenty of rest...]

Without a second thought, Jiang Zhi taps the teleport button at lightning speed, as if afraid the System might change its mind.

As she loses consciousness, all Jiang Zhi can think about is the wonderful, lazy life ahead of her.

She doesn't hear the System's repeated error alarms as it teleports her.

After Jiang Zhi arrives in her retirement world, she begins her lazy, lie-flat life.

The System has prepared a body for her that belongs to a textbook rich second-generation heir, with an eight-figure allowance in the bank.

Lying on the beach in the sun, Jiang Zhi marvels at how perfect this body is for her lazy-fish lifestyle!

It's just that this body's reputation seems pretty bad...

Nine out of every ten people in her contacts have blocked her.

Her WeChat list is full of accounts numbered Brother 12345 and so on.

Jiang Zhi is the most notorious green tea in City A.

Relying on her pretty face and wealthy family, she likes to flit among handsome men, using manipulative sweet talk to seduce them.

But every time, the man she sets her sights on rejects her.

The book is called The Handbook of Winning Over Male Gods, and Jiang Zhi is its number-one green-tea female supporting character.

There are four men in the story. Each is exceptionally handsome and well-built, and any of them could make an immediate debut in the entertainment industry.

They all have one thing in common: they're experts at spotting fake sweetness.

Jiang Zhi's tricks don't fool them at all.

What's more, the men know one another. They all know that Jiang Zhi has been making the rounds among them, and they despise her for it.

They are all thoroughly annoyed by the original owner's relentless pursuit of them.

Jiang Zhi, however, has no idea. She thinks the System has found her the perfect retirement world.

On her first day of retirement, Jiang Zhi takes a photo of herself sunbathing on the beach and casually posts it to her Moments, hoping to share her retirement life.

When the book's number-one male lead sees the photo, he snorts disdainfully. "She's trying to seduce me again. It's been ages, and she still hasn't changed her tricks."

On her second day of retirement, Jiang Zhi happily tidies up her desk at home and posts a picture of its now-beautifully organized state to her Moments to show it off: [Tidying up for fun, feeling happy~]

The book's number-two male lead sees it and laughs mockingly.

Is she trying to prove to him that she's good at housework? Some habits never change.

Then one day, everyone realizes that Jiang Zhi has changed.

Jiang Zhi, who used to be vain and loved being fawned over, would now rather stay home alone, drinking tea and watching shows, than go out.

She even ignores the men she used to like.

The male leads: ...This must be her new trick.

While everyone else is speculating, Jiang Zhi has already started the second phase of her retirement.

Step one: Lie flat.

Step two: Shop.

Shop like crazy.

Treat money like dirt!

She clears her cart and pays for over two hundred items in one click without batting an eye.

She casually invests in a few ventures, getting a taste of being the big-shot investor for the sake of the dream client she has always wanted.

While the male leads are bidding on an important project, Jiang Zhi arrives as the client, the one calling the shots.

She casually buys the important project they've been competing for over several days.

Jiang Zhi puts on a professional fake smile, like a considerate, people-loving leader. "I'm so sorry, everyone. You've worked hard."

The original novel's male leads: ???

After sending Jiang Zhi to the wrong world, the System keeps trying to find a way to tell her.

At last, after searching through 1,000 mission worlds, it finally finds Jiang Zhi, who was sent to the wrong world among all the little worlds.

The System rushes to her side, frantic with worry, already imagining the miserable sight of Jiang Zhi being bullied by this world's big shots.

Instead, it sees Jiang Zhi lying on the beach, eating grapes that a big shot peels and feeds to her one by one.

The System is speechless: "..."

Could it be the one that made a mistake?
