After Getting Rich, the Couch Potato Goes Viral Again

Shi Jian'ge woke up to find herself turned into a cannon-fodder female supporting character in a wish-fulfillment entertainment-industry novel. The heroine's standard foil, a scandal-plagued idol hated by everyone, was trying to make a comeback through a talent show. Shi Jian'ge looked down at the nine zeroes in her bank balance. Ummmm, why enter a talent show? Isn't inheriting the family fortune much better? She decided to be a lazy fish, do her best to get eliminated, and go home to be an utterly ordinary rich woman. Before the show aired: "Can't Shi Jian'ge just get lost? Stop polluting the sacred ground of this talent show!" "Ugh, ugh! Please eliminate her already!" After the show aired: Everyone sharpened their eyes and picked Shi Jian'ge out from among the girls, ready to tear into her. But they saw a stunning girl with skin like porcelain, wrapped in a military coat and reading How to Cultivate Yourself in Middle Age? When it came time to vote for the center, everyone else on her team voted for Shi Jian'ge. Holding a thermos of goji berries steeped with chrysanthemum, bare-faced and without a trace of makeup, she waved both hands repeatedly. "No, no, not me. Maybe next time." On the eve of the performance, the other contestants stayed up late practicing. The camera turned to Shi Jian'ge: she soaked her feet, read a book, and went to bed on time, sleeping without a care in the world. At last, the haters found their chance and mocked her relentlessly. "With an attitude like that, just wait until she gets publicly humiliated at tomorrow's performance!" The next day, Shi Jian'ge appeared in a black sequined slip dress, with a slender waist and long legs, her every glance brimming with bewitching allure. When she looked back, the glittering rhinestone at the corner of her eye shone brilliantly. Haters: "H-Holy crap! Why do I feel my heart fluttering?!" That day, Shi Jian'ge took over the trending searches. It was the first step on her path to becoming a top-tier star. * When Qi Yiqing heard that an engagement had been arranged for him, he smiled gently, but his words were utterly cold. "Don't bother with her. She'll give up when she realizes she can't win." His subordinate hesitated, then lowered his head to report, "Mr. Qi, your fiancée just sent a message saying..." "Saying what?" "She says she's already an idol and can't date, and hopes you'll give up when you realize you can't win." Qi Yiqing: ... It suddenly occurred to him that his fiancée's name seemed strangely familiar. Note: 1. A heroine who sticks to the truth, never pretends, and relies on her real skills x a powerful, scheming man who's gentle on the surface but ruthless underneath 2. A max-level protagonist, for a breezy, satisfying read! 3. The talent-show sections draw inspiration from some real-life talent shows. Theme: Master a useful skill, and you'll never be helpless wherever you go
