Upcoming novel, "I Became Everyone's Favorite After Binding a Comeback System": Please add it to your library. Coming soon!

The CEO's sister: "I'll give you a million to leave my brother."

Song Mingming: "Just for one day?"

She was a top star who raked in money and thrills every day, but transmigrated into the role of a rich family's cannon-fodder villainess.

The villainess had schemed her way into a wealthy family, only to be bullied by her sister-in-law. She could only endure the humiliation, and was eventually driven out of showbiz after picking a fight with the heroine. In the end, she ran off with her mentally unstable husband’s money and fled with a young heartthrob, only for him to arrange her death.

Song Mingming was done. This was a hellishly difficult opening...

Then the System told her that if she raised her husband's favorability enough, she could not only stay alive, but make money too.

Song Mingming struggled with the idea, then decided she might still be able to turn things around.

A hug earned her one hundred thousand.

Holding his hand earned her a million.

A kiss earned her ten million.

Thinking about it, she could reach the peak of life in no time.

Unfortunately, at the very first step of her plan, the man pressed a knife blade to her throat.

Song Mingming cried: Just as rumored, he's cold and heartless. The ancients never lied.

She suddenly felt the weight of her mission!

To stay alive, Song Mingming sneaked a kiss onto the sleeping man's forehead one night.

To her surprise, he opened his eyes and stared at her coldly. Song Mingming panicked and hurriedly pretended to be sleepwalking before making her escape.

When he asked her about it later, Song Mingming played dumb. "I... sleepwalk at night."

His face was icy as he said in a low voice, "Don't let it happen again."

So Song Mingming didn't dare do anything mischievous again. She could only focus on her career for now, and wait for the man to cool off before secretly raising their intimacy level.

Who could have guessed that a few days later, the man would storm over, his ears burning red, and mutter, "When will your... sleepwalking get better?"

Song Mingming: "???"

The entire fandom looked down on Song Mingming as a pretty face with no talent, and hated that she loved using rumors to stir up romance scandals with their idols.

When they heard Song Mingming was competing in a singing contest, they sneered, "With that awful voice of hers, I'd rather listen to anyone else!"

Who could have guessed that the moment Song Mingming opened her mouth, she'd astonish the entire audience?

Everyone wailed, "She's actually amazing!"

One day, news broke that Song Mingming had been secretly married for years.

The fandom went wild, with fans from every group competing to pair her off with their idols.

"She's been linked to my idol for ages. They must be secretly married."

"She definitely married my boy. They're made for each other. They must have been living together for ages."

Then reporters caught sight of a handsome man in a white shirt hurrying after Song Mingming. He gently clasped her hand and grumbled with a wounded expression, "All right, all right. I won't deliberately leave hickeys on your neck anymore. Forgive me, honey."

This, this, this... was the famously cold and ruthless richest man in the country?

Everyone suddenly understood: if someone didn't work harder, she'd have to go home and become a rich man's wife...

Yi Mengyao woke up one day to find that she'd become the pitiful villainess in an entertainment-industry novel.

Her original self was a complete pushover. Her stepsister stole the man she loved, and she didn't dare say a word. Then her wealthy family threw her out.

By sheer luck, she joined a talent competition as a trainee. Everyone on the show bullied her and smeared her name, but she still didn't dare speak up. Her fans were so frustrated that they all left and turned against her!

System: Ding-dong! The Clapback System has been bound to you.

Yi Mengyao: What is this supposed to be?

System: Host, complete the ultimate clapback task and you can win a ten-billion-yuan cash prize!

Yi Mengyao: Come on, let me show you what a level-ten master of comebacks can do.

And so, viewers saw Yi Mengyao, once a meek pushover whom anyone could bully, change.

A female contestant whose relationship had been exposed cried and begged her fans to understand and feel sorry for her.

Yi Mengyao said without expression: If you need someone to feel sorry for you, then we might as well go extinct. You're 28, and you still need people to feel sorry for you?

A contestant who was dating five people at once and bullying her mentor put on a pitiful act during a livestream.

Yi Mengyao looked at her with disdain: You claim you can't sleep, but you sure don't seem to have lost your appetite.

A female mentor from the same show flew into a rage and threatened to expose Yi Mengyao's true colors to the audience!

Yi Mengyao gave her a cold smile: My true colors are that I'm your father!

Later, after Yi Mengyao became a sensation across the internet and reached the top of the entertainment industry, she happily took her ten billion and retired. Her fans wailed and begged her not to go.

"Please clap back at me one more time, sis! Sob, sob!"

Yi Mengyao: ? You people seem to have some kind of serious problem.

"Sis, don't go! We'll vote for you. We'll pay a fortune to have you make your debut with your sharp tongue!"

Yi Mengyao: My fate is in my own hands, not Heaven's. I'm out!

Later, the wealthy parents who had thrown her out and her scumbag fiance deeply regretted it. One after another, they came begging Yi Mengyao to change her mind.
