The Green Tea's Persona Crumbles, and He Becomes a Sensation

My upcoming novel, please add it to your favorites: Top-Tier Star Breaks Character on a Dating Show

Before she was reborn, Su Ziyu had spent years working hard in the entertainment industry, but no matter how hard she tried, she never managed to rise above the bottom tier.

After being reborn, Su Ziyu learned the truth: she was a cannon-fodder supporting female character in an entertainment-industry wish-fulfillment novel, so all her efforts had been pointless. Her only purpose was to help the heroine shine. But now that she was conscious of her fate, she refused to keep this cannon-fodder job. Whoever wanted it could have it! Why shouldn't she get to be a little princess too? She was done caring and decided to be herself.

During filming: Top-tier star Gao Shenghan fell into the water, and everyone froze. Su Ziyu jumped straight in to save him. A few minutes later, she carried him ashore over her shoulder like a sack of rice.

During filming: The original heroine wanted to show off by volunteering to cook. Su Ziyu simply said, "I like eating food I cook myself. Other people's cooking never suits my taste." The comments were full of abuse, but when Su Ziyu finished cooking, the other guests were drawn in by the delicious smell and asked her to make food for them too. Of course, they prepared and chopped all the ingredients, so all Su Ziyu had to do was stir-fry them.

On set: The original heroine and Su Ziyu landed roles in the same production. The heroine played the kind, innocent, delicate female lead, while Su Ziyu played a ruthless villain. After the show aired, female fans everywhere screamed for Su Ziyu: "That lady is so cool, I'm in love!" "What kind of garbage script writes her out like that? I instantly lost all interest in watching this show."

Su Ziyu had bound herself to a System just to earn some retirement money. She never expected that dropping her act and showing her true colors would make her more popular than the original heroine...

Not only did she become famous, she also received enormous rewards from the System and went from an employee to a major investor. At last, she could make whatever projects she wanted. If no one would invest, she would do it herself. She had only invested for the fun of it, but every project she backed became a smash hit, turning her into a legend in the investment world...

Gao Shenghan had always kept his distance from Su Ziyu. He thought she was spoiled, pretentious, and spoke in a sickly sweet voice. But after she rescued him from the water and carried him ashore like a sandbag, he realized that being pretentious was just her persona. He gradually discovered more and more of her good qualities.

Gao Shenghan: "Su Ziyu, you saved my life. I have no way to repay you... Giving you money seems a little vulgar..."

Su Ziyu: "No, no, I'm a vulgar person. If you want to thank me, just pay me. Once we're even and the money's changed hands, we'll be strangers the next time we meet!"

"..."

Su Ziyu really rejected him without hesitation, but Gao Shenghan found himself looking at her more and more often...

Su Ziyu was laughing brightly as she chatted with a cute younger guy, without sparing him a glance.

Gao Shenghan panicked. He couldn't sit still anymore.

Unfortunately, winning her over wouldn't be easy. After all, she was a woman as dense as they come when it came to romance.

Content warnings:

1. The tone is comedic and absurd.

2. The author's writing and logic are average. Many details don't fully match reality, and some things are pretty brainless. It's all in service of the plot.

3. Thanks to all the angels who read this story. I'm sorry to those who can't keep reading. I'll keep trying, and I hope we meet again someday!

My upcoming novel, Top-Tier Star Breaks Character on a Dating Show

Fans check in every day: Has Chu Yiyang divorced yet?

The entertainment industry is full of rumors that Su Anyi loves top-tier star Chu Yiyang desperately. She went to great lengths to marry him, only to receive a marriage contract in return. Su Anyi is his wife in name only. In their two years of marriage, he has never once looked at her properly.

To make Su Anyi give up on him for good, Chu Yiyang takes her on a dating show.

When everyone learns that Su Anyi and Chu Yiyang are going on a dating show, they get ready to watch her make a fool of herself...

Su Anyi, who has completed her quick transmigration missions and returned to her original world: "..."

If she'd come back a little earlier, she would definitely have chosen the huge breakup settlement over the dating show.

Su Anyi thinks that since there's no love left, what's the point of putting on a romantic show? But she can't afford the enormous penalty for breaking her contract, so she decides to lie flat during filming. She'll just watch the other couples flirt and enjoy shipping them up close.

But...

In the haunted house, the female guests are so scared they dive into the male guests' arms, while the men comfort them softly.

Su Anyi stays far away from Chu Yiyang. Suddenly, he rushes over and hugs her, but she shoves him away with a look of disgust. "You knocked all my sunflower seeds out of my hands!"

During the cooking competition, the other couples divide up the work and cook together.

Chu Yiyang: "You taste-test. I'll handle the rest."

Su Anyi samples every dish with a critical eye. After tasting them, she's surprised: the food is unexpectedly suited to her taste.

Su Anyi pulls him away from the cameras and demands, "Chu Yiyang, what are you playing at? Are you having fun acting like this?"

Chu Yiyang's gaze is deep and solemn. "I'm not acting."

Su Anyi: "..."

After Su Anyi breaks up with him, netizens start keeping count again: Has Chu Yiyang won her back yet today?

Theme: We are all hardworking ordinary people, with the soul of a working stiff.
