Wen Zhuyu transmigrated into a romance novel set in the entertainment industry, where readers bet on the male leads, and became the villainess.
When she arrived, her memories had been erased. Since childhood, she'd been the foil who made the heroine look clever and kind. She secretly loved one of the heroine's backup suitors, got framed and made to take the blame, and somehow became universally hated despite doing nothing wrong.
After recovering her memories from before she transmigrated into the book, Wen Zhuyu had had enough. She decided to lie flat and become a couch potato.
Plot missions? Wouldn't it be better to stay home and play games?!
A secondary male character to pine for? Wasn't a fictional husband better?!
Then she discovered a card-drawing, leveling, interactive idol-training game. The starting screen offered three characters to choose from:
A pitiful child actor who debuted young, was abused by his gambler father, and forced to act for money;
A handsome, strong but tragic idol who was shunned and bullied by his bandmates after refusing to sleep with executives;
A genius singer who wrote songs to pay for his younger brother's medical treatment after his family fell on hard times, only to have his former partner steal his work and ruin his voice.
Wen Zhuyu: As long as I grind enough, raising all three at once should be doable...
To make sure all three boys became rich and weren't bullied by scumbags, Wen Zhuyu grinded and spent money, determined to draw the best cards for her kids:
"N-rank Item Cards" to furnish the kids' freezing basement apartments with furniture and heaters!
"R-rank Fan Support Cards" to launch a citywide birthday campaign that shocked the fandom when nobody remembered the kids' birthdays!
"SR-rank Variety Show Cards" to get them on a breakout, phenomenon-level audition show and debut in the center position!
"SSR-rank Opportunity Cards" to bring in top producers and famous directors, all personally asking to work with them!
Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that the newly crowned Best Actor, the top-tier star idol, and the beloved national singer never hid their obscure beginnings or their struggles. They were all searching for the girl who had once reached out and pulled them up, the beloved moonlight they'd kept hidden in their hearts.
In interviews, they spoke with genuine emotion:
She was the only color in the dark first half of my life;
She was the reason I would do anything to make my debut;
She was the light I wanted to chase for the rest of my life.
Wen Zhuyu, a couch potato who had no idea the plot had gone completely off the rails, happened to see the interview. Her kids have come to life?! Wait, aren't those the three top-tier male leads the heroine is supposed to win over???

When will the author come back?
Shouldn't writing be about attracting readers through good text? (No dissatisfaction, just pure confusion)
I dropped a bomb and am waiting for the update.
Will you come back for more updates? The writing is very nice.
