After I Transmigrated Into a Book, I Became My Own Substitute

Shi Xu transmigrated into a book and has returned. She transmigrated into the body of a resource-backed celebrity who can't sing without heavy post-production, dances worse than the aunties in the square, can only stare blankly when acting, and has her fans control the comments for her... A celebrity whose career is propped up by connections. She has a year-round subscription to the trending charts, but the most mysterious thing about her is how she keeps standing tall despite being universally mocked. That would be fine, except when she opened her eyes, the mysterious boss sitting by her hospital bed was... her ex-girlfriend's younger sister. Shen Tianqing: The way you act is worlds apart from her. Shi Xu: ? Shen Tianqing: I honestly can't decide whether to keep promoting you or ruin that face of yours. Shi Xu: ? She lifted Shi Xu's chin and gave a self-mocking smile. "A stand-in should know her place. Got it?" Shi Xu never expected that after returning from transmigrating into a book, she would become her own stand-in. Now she also has to compete on Another World, Another Take, an acting competition show that nobody has any faith in. Haters: Holy crap, weren't you supposed to only know how to stare blankly? Bystanders: I'm screaming, wifey!!! Fans: Girl, why were you pretending you were bad at acting? Ship fans: Girl! How can you not ship them? A substitute can become the real thing too!
