The Richest Woman Is Bound to the System for Saving China's Entertainment Industry

Jiang Yusheng is the only daughter of the richest man. After being reborn, she decisively chooses to slack off. Before she can even hand in her resignation, a System claiming to save the entertainment industry binds itself to her. If she wants to stay alive, she has to make several washed-up celebrities famous, all of whom had tragic fates in her previous life and plenty of haters. The System: "The future of the entertainment industry rests on you, Host. An agent is like a mother. When necessary, you can scheme and deceive, using cunning and underhanded methods to secure resources..." Jiang Yusheng expressionlessly tosses out a black card. "I’m putting thirty billion on the table to play with you. You think that’s pocket change?" In the entertainment industry, every resource is small potatoes next to money! * "Little Stars, Charge Ahead" is a live variety show where celebrities and their agents earn points together, then compete for gigs based on their rankings. The show was mocked mercilessly before it even aired: [The production team is so broke they couldn’t even afford publicity. I’m afraid to enter the livestream in case the whole cast of washed-up nobodies begs me for money.] [What a trash show. Couldn’t find investors, so they’re livestreaming with a phone?] But on the day the show aired, viewers who entered the livestream found a villa sitting on three thousand square meters of land, so huge it looked like a castle. The chief director shouted into the microphone, "Special thanks to our mysterious wealthy benefactor!" Viewers: "... ?" Where did this blind rich woman come from?! As the show grew popular, plenty of dirt about Jiang Yusheng and her three celebrities came to light. A furious army of haters charged into the livestream, only to see a tall, handsome, cool guy wearing a pink apron and making Jiang Yusheng breakfast in the kitchen. He flipped the pan with one hand while shielding her with the other, afraid even a speck of oil might splash on her. Haters: "... Weren’t we told he was a bad-tempered, macho straight guy?" To defend Jiang Yusheng’s reputation, the cute sweet girl got into a fierce argument with her ex-boyfriend over the phone, then slapped him twice at an event. Haters turned neutral: "Wasn’t she a love-struck fool who joined the industry for a man?" During the truth-or-dare segment, the warm and considerate nice guy blushed as he spoke from the heart to Jiang Yusheng. He admitted that meeting her was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him, and said he was willing to be her artist for the rest of his life. Haters turned fans: "Who said he was a scheming guy who’d do anything for a role? He’s clearly such a romantic!" - Before long, Jiang Yusheng became the most popular agent in the industry. One award-winning actor and queen of the screen after another emerged from her roster, the Jiang family fortune multiplied more than tenfold, and a powerful man devotedly stood by her side. A reporter asked excitedly, "Director Jiang, what’s the secret to your success?" Jiang Yusheng smiled. "I just wanted to stay alive." Who knew she’d end up with a fortune and a long life without even trying? Let me recommend my upcoming novel, "The Internet Hates Me, So This Slacker Saves Her Foils and Becomes a Star" Synopsis Jian Zhuyi, the ultimate overachiever in the quick transmigration world, is transported into the body of an internet-wide pariah on the day she retires, thanks to a System malfunction. Disheartened, she gives up and becomes a world-class slacker wherever she goes. Who could have guessed that everyone around her would be a sacrificial foil? On a parent-child variety show, a has-been screen queen and her rebellious son become foils to a popular young actress and her stepson. Online, everyone scolds the screen queen for neglecting her son and failing to raise him properly. After Jian Zhuyi joins the show as a special guest, the popular young actress accompanies her excellent stepson to tutoring and extracurricular classes, raising him as if he were her own child. Jian Zhuyi, meanwhile, gets along with the screen queen’s son like a big sister. She sneaks the rebellious kid into an internet cafe to play games, then takes him fishing, hiking, and out for barbecue the next day, claiming they’re simply enjoying life... Viewers: Just watch. The screen queen’s about to lose it. She can’t stand people without ambition. Jian Zhuyi will be kicked off the show in no time :) Everyone waits for Jian Zhuyi to be thrown out. They wait and wait, until the screen queen affectionately takes her hand, treating her like a sister. In the final shot, the screen queen’s still-lovely face is full of relief. "Hurry, go, go! Don’t let my idiot son see you. It’s my turn to go shopping and do yoga with you today!" Viewers: ... Wait, did you get your scripts mixed up?! - At a competition to select top students, Jian Zhuyi, who can neither sing nor dance, becomes a mentor. The trainees at camp roll their eyes and steer clear whenever they see her. The other mentors all get top trainees, while Jian Zhuyi is assigned a dull, taciturn underachiever. They say she’s the real heiress a wealthy family recently found, and that there’s a younger sister in Class A who serves as her foil. The mentors stay up night after night trying to groom trainees for their debut, while Jian Zhuyi... Jian Zhuyi glances at her student a few times, tosses her two notebooks, then lies down. "Practice on your own. Don’t disturb my beauty sleep until you’ve learned it." Student: "..." Viewers: Just wait. The audition will be the day she makes a fool of herself. But on audition day, Jian Zhuyi and her student win first place with a performance that leaves the competition in the dust. Several mentors behind her even smile as they ask about her teaching methods. Viewers: Hahaha... Huh? Their grins vanish in an instant. - Then there’s that down-to-earth variety show about venturing deep into the mountains. Everyone else goes hungry and lives rough, but Jian Zhuyi somehow turns the show into a peaceful rural idyll. Viewers: We’re all on the same show, so why is she the only one living in style??? Jian Zhuyi thinks all these variety shows in the entertainment industry are pretty fun. As a celebrity who’s both hated and famous, she’s a brick: wherever there’s a shortage of buzz, they haul her over. But as they keep hauling her around, she becomes a superstar. Her resources and connections become endless, and even the trending topics about her on Weibo turn into: #WhatCanMyWifeDoToday #MyWifeIsSoCapableAgainToday #IsMyWifeFollowingASaviorScript Bonus Scene Gu Ningchen is devoted to his work. Even when his family arranges a fiancée for him, he remains indifferent and never starts conversations with her. By chance, he clicks on his bargain fiancée’s Weibo and sees a beautiful woman with bright eyes and pearly teeth livestreaming, while the comments are all calling her their wife. Viewer 1: I hope Director Gu kicks the bucket today so I can inherit his wife. Viewer 2: I got praised for working the sewing machine today. The foreman said I had talent, but I don’t have any talent at all. The rhythm of my foot on the pedal is just my heartbeat as I think of my wife. Gu Ningchen: ??? P.S. The heroine really can do everything, and she’s insanely good at all of it. Theme: The strong never complain about their circumstances
