Feel free to check out my other novel, "After the Female Side Character Awakens, She Goes Viral"! The blurb is at the very bottom.
Before Chi Rao's adoptive mother died, she left her a massive inheritance: a nationwide chain of beauty salons! Just as Chi Rao was about to sign the contract, everything went black. She had transmigrated to ancient times and even been bound to a Beauty Shop System?
As a poor girl in a new world, she has a scumbag father who favors his concubine over his wife and a flirtatious fiance waiting for her. Chi Rao flips the table and yells, "I'm done with this!"
At some point, a cosmetics shop called Beauty House appears in the capital. Its owner promises:
"Whether you're an eighty-year-old granny or covered in pockmarks and black as charcoal, step into my shop and I guarantee your skin will glow like a baby's, and your body will feel as light and graceful as a swallow in your palm." Everyone mocks the shopkeeper, wondering if she's lost her mind, and secretly waits for the shop to go under. But before long, they're all eating their words.
Lipstick, cushion foundation, face masks, eye cream, and even hair-growth serum have barely hit the shelves when they're snapped up in a frenzy. As they eat their words, they cry out to Chi Rao, "Boss Chi, I'll pay you a thousand taels to do my makeup yourself!"
Business at Beauty House is booming when her bankrupt scumbag father and former fiance come knocking.
"Sweetheart, you're the one who's always been there for me. Come home."
"Rao, that bitch seduced me. You're the one I love!"
Chi Rao hurriedly waves them away. "No, thank you! Someone shut the door and let the Prime Minister loose!"
The Prime Minister, Bai, is lying on a beauty couch with a face mask on, sipping a milkshake. He narrows his eyes. "Did my wife call for me?"
Everyone knows Bai Mojin as a sharp-tongued, narcissistic beauty with a venomous streak. He can even use dark circles from a bad night's sleep as an excuse to skip court.
He calls it: "A blemish on a perfect face would be an insult to the sacred court."
The officials who wash their faces and nothing more each morning all feel like they've been caught in the crossfire.
Yet this man, who values his looks above all else, risks being disfigured and throws himself down a thorn-covered slope without hesitation.
Chi Rao, covered in blood with a broken leg, laughs at Bai Mojin. His hair is a mess and his face is striped with scratches. "What happened to loving that face of yours more than anything?"
Bai Mojin gently presses his forehead to hers. "A man should make a career and start a family. I've already made my career. Would Boss Chi consider starting a family with me?"
In her previous life, Bai Tao was cowed by the power of the plot into playing the scheming, two-faced female side character. Only after she drowned herself did the absurdity of her life finally make sense.
Her world was a romance novel set in the entertainment industry, and she'd been given the villain's role. Her death had been useful and meaningful!
Bai Tao: "Heh."
The System that should have appeared in her previous life finally shows up, late as ever. "Dear, playing a green tea vixen is a sure bet. A life at the top is waiting for you!"
Bai Tao swirls the red wine in her glass. The huge emerald on her middle finger nearly blinds the System. "Thanks, but I was born at the top. Little System, how about finding a new boss and working for me instead?"
All Bai Tao wants in her new life is to get even for the misery of her past, rip off the pure-hearted heroine's mask of hypocrisy, and smash the hero's dream of having it both ways. And all the heroine's loyal lackeys can get out of her way!
Free from the plot's control, Bai Tao looks after herself and sneers at her teammates on a survival show, coldly pushes her on-screen partner toward the ghosts on a mystery show, and makes a popular young actress cry while filming a movie...
With all the annoying flies gone from her life, Bai Tao cheerfully claps her hands and prepares to leave the entertainment industry. She lounges on a private luxury yacht, with a sweet young pretty boy by her side. "This is the life!"
Everyone says Bai Tao is the most fake, snide, and catty A-lister the industry has ever seen, a pretty face who gets away with anything on looks alone. But one day, they realize Bai Tao has more than just a pretty face. Fans across the ocean wave their hands at their screens: "Don't go! We were wrong!"
In the end, even the System can't figure it out. It gave Bai Tao the script of a disposable green tea side character exactly as the plot demanded, so how did she end up at the top, basking in the spotlight?

Woohoo, do you remember to update?
Good night, Gugu. Go to bed early. Gugu, I decided not to stay up late today.
Well, I'm so greedy, but it's a pity that I lost weight.
I talk a lot, but I don't really like leaving messages.
Wait for Gugu to update. If not tomorrow, please Gugu be careful about your pigeon feathers (threat)
At this time, an Ah Piao floated by: Wuwuwu~
Finally, I thought about why I always felt that Gugu was rushing forward. Maybe it was because Gugu just picked out the character when he used it, as if he was carrying a tool man, missing some foreshadowing? For example, if the Dali Temple Qing in front of me asked my maid to inquire about Dali Temple Qing's situation after searching for a shop, then it would be logical for Dali Temple Qing to appear later, and I could also guess some situations. This time, thugs can also be used. Previously, after reaching an agreement with the heroine's mother, we directly asked for thugs and arranged for thugs to guard the door. This way, we can directly go through the sadistic plot without any explanation. It gives people the impression that thugs are used, and only then are the thugs used. It's just my opinion and feeling, it depends on Gugu. Finally, I asked in a low voice whether Gu Gu's outline was very detailed, or that the writing method of appearing characters and then explaining the reasons for their appearance was Gu Gu's writing habit.
