From Idol to the Top of the Entertainment World [Book Transmigration]

After transmigrating into a talent-show novel written by an anti-fan, The Big Shot Spends a Fortune to Help Her Debut, she finds herself holding the script of a cannon-fodder character with the same name: she can't even dance the theme song, gets forced out of the competition, marries into a fake-rich family, racks up huge debts, and jumps to her death. Actress Mu Zhi (smiling): There's no way to perform this script! And so begins the face-slapping journey of a strong female lead who focuses on building her career... She gets cyberbullied and forced out of the competition as soon as she arrives? Mu Zhi practices like her life depends on it every day, turns the tables against the odds, and surges in popularity with her sights set on the center position. The talent show ends. The members who debuted get all kinds of gigs, while Mu Zhi disappears without a trace? Netizens think Mu Zhi's ceiling is at best a D-list celebrity. Who knew Mu Zhi would go off to act, and that the first web series she landed by chance would become an instant hit? Then the naysayers sneer: Hmph, her ceiling is still just a starlet in a historical romance. Mu Zhi goes off to make a movie for her next role, and gets nominated for Best Newcomer. Her anti-fans stubbornly insist: The newcomer award doesn't mean much. Let's see you win Best Actress! Mu Zhi lives up to her anti-fans' "encouragement" and wins Best Actress for her next film! Fans: Being a career fan of Mu Zhi is such a thrill. We just coast along as she carries us to victory. Anti-fans: Are we really watching her go from idol to the number one actress in the industry? After winning the award, Mu Zhi is interviewed by a reporter: "Netizens are comparing you with Best Actress Liu. She said she wouldn't pick on a newcomer. What do you think?" Best Actress Liu's words imply that Mu Zhi is too low-ranking to be mentioned in the same breath. Mu Zhi (smiling): The entertainment industry is one big cake. We can all have a slice~ "The actresses who debuted around the same time are gathering in Hengdian, each with a female-led drama. Would you consider taking a female-led web series or TV drama?" Mu Zhi: "Why couldn't it be a female-led movie? (Just kidding.) I hope there will be more roles for women in film." "And can you respond to the rumors about you and Boss He?" Mu Zhi keeps smiling: "Not true. I'm too busy filming to date." That day, He Zhiyue's secret account posted on Weibo: The 1,000th day of secretly loving her, rejected from afar. 1. The girl group competition is modeled on Produce 101. 2. A story about a woman who transmigrates as an idol but doesn't make the group, then debuts as an actress and rises to the top of the entertainment industry. Reaching the top means more than winning Best Actress and working with renowned directors. It means carrying a major female-led blockbuster on her own, with its box office revenue reaching number one in the country.
