A prop suona used around the film studios suddenly becomes sentient.
It also transmigrates into a feel-good entertainment-industry novel, becoming Jian Manrou, an obscure actress ranked far below the eighteenth tier. Hounded by scandals, she gets told to get out of the industry just for looking at a top-tier star.
She looks at her sock with a hole in it. "Oh, and I'm broke."
To survive, she starts taking work.
Her company tells her to switch to singing.
"Seriously? Jian Manrou's acting is so bad, and now she's going to ruin the music industry too?"
"We don't want to hear her sing! Tell her to get lost!"
"Get lost!"
The show is already being bombarded with insults before it even airs. Everyone can imagine just how painfully awful her singing will be.
But when the show goes live...
"Holy crap... Did that sound just come out of Jian Manrou's mouth? It wasn't an effect?!"
"It sounds like an instrument. What is it called again?"
"A suona! It's a suona!"
That day, Jian Manrou trends online under the nickname "the human suona spirit."
Taking advantage of the buzz, her company books her on a variety show.
On a voice-acting program, Jian Manrou seems to have a voice-acting machine built into her mouth. She even recreates the background music and sound effects.
The comments are filled with people laughing their heads off.
Later, Jian Manrou joins a film crew.
Her haters finally see their chance to make her eat her words, and eagerly wait for the show to air. But when it does, they end up making themselves eat their words instead.
"What? Isn't Jian Manrou only good at staring blankly and pursing her lips? How can she be sobbing so convincingly... and even win an award...?"
Jian Manrou: You think I spent all that time around film studios for nothing?
Cheng Shen, a domineering CEO worth hundreds of millions, suffers from the insomnia that's standard issue for male leads in Mary Sue novels.
One night, he hears the sound of a suona coming from next door.
It's... very festive.
And then he falls asleep.
When he wakes up, he takes out a check and knocks on the neighbor's door.
Coming soon: The Hilarious Green Tea Girl Takes the Entertainment Industry by Storm
Blurb:
Su Qian is a professional substitute supporting actress at the Transmigration Bureau.
She has played stand-ins in thousands of domineering CEO romance novels, with green-tea skills and acting so natural that she was once the Bureau's top performer.
But after an accident, the System sends her to the wrong world, and she transmigrates into an entertainment-industry novel.
She becomes Su Qian, an obscure actress ranked far below the eighteenth tier who shares her name with the original character.
The original Su Qian was a famously wooden beauty. She usually wore a blank, world-weary expression, and whenever she acted, she had the dead eyes of a fish. Her fans despised her, while her colleagues bullied her and used her as a target for comparison.
Then her fans, who had turned into haters, suddenly realize that Wooden Su has changed...
At a red-carpet show, Su Qian dazzles in a red dress, outshining everyone else.
The actress walking behind her secretly sticks out a foot. Hmph, how dare you steal my spotlight? You're asking for it!
The next second, Su Qian cries out and collapses softly to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," the actress says with an evil smile.
Clutching the torn hem of her dress, the young woman looks into the camera, pitiful and fragile. "I know you didn't mean to, Sis, but you ruined my million-yuan dress. Shouldn't you pay me back what it cost?"
As she speaks, she jumps up briskly. "Come on, hurry up. Here's my payment QR code."
The actress who tried to trip her: ???
Why does it feel like I'm the one getting scammed here?

On a singing-and-dancing variety show, Su Qian gets the script for the comparison group. She has to perform badly to make another female guest look kind, excellent, and beautiful.
After receiving a generous fee, Su Qian decides to quietly take the credit and keep her head down.
So when the guest sings and dances, Su Qian's turn is accompanied by a loudspeaker announcement: National Primary School Students' Eighth Set of Radio Calisthenics...
The guest plays the piano with graceful elegance. Su Qian plucks a leaf and blows a string of bird calls through it.
The guest adopts a cool-girl attitude and delivers a dazzling hip-hop performance. Su Qian puts on a long gown and performs clapper talk for the whole country.
Netizens: Is that you, Xiuer? Hahaha!
Su Qian lets loose with one ridiculous stunt after another, and her popularity soars.
Later, she works with the Best Actor Lu Yanxing. He's aloof and distinguished, and according to the script, he has to film a kissing scene with Su Qian.
To keep the scene from starting a fan war, Su Qian eats five cloves of garlic that day.
Lu Yanxing: "..."
