This Ship Has No Chance of Sailing

[Soft and Sweet: A well-behaved little bunny x a stern older man, currently updating!]

Jiang Qi is as famous in the business world as a top-tier star is in the entertainment industry. Tall and imposing, with power and status, he's the ideal husband in the eyes of countless women.

One day, Jiang Qi gave an interview, and people noticed the ring on his left ring finger.

He gave a slight nod. "Thank you for your concern. I'm already married."

Not long afterward, news spread that Jiang Qi's wife was a video blogger. Netizens turned into Sherlock Holmes, speculating and discussing the gossip, and the whole internet was abuzz.

Some influencers began making moves, while female celebrities refused to be left behind. Fans even edited ship videos, and their followings surged overnight.

Ning Zi is a beauty blogger with a million followers. Her striking beauty and ever-changing video style have drawn a particularly large crowd of fans.

"If I looked like that, why would I bother learning makeup?"

"A runaway female celebrity."

As Jiang Qi became the target of people trying to ride his coattails online, Ning Zi alone remained unmoved, leaving her fans anxious.

"You can't pass up all this attention, can you?"

Ning Zi replied: "It has nothing to do with me, so I'm not getting involved."

That one sentence face-slapped all the influencers trying to ride his coattails, and Ning Zi's comments and private messages were flooded with attacks.

"Why are you pretending to be so above it all?"

"I can smell the fake sweetness."

"Why are you being so passive-aggressive? Seems like you want to ride his coattails but don't dare."

Just then, Jiang Qi posted a photo on Weibo. It showed only a hand, delicate as a tender sprig.

Everyone guessed it belonged to Jiang Qi's wife, who had never shown her face.

"Wait, doesn't that hand look familiar?"

"Isn't that..."

Ning Zi's comments and private messages were bombarded again. She thought it would be another day of getting cursed out…

Ning Zi: I said we're not close. Do you believe me?

The internet was abuzz with speculation, so Ning Zi had no choice but to admit the truth on a livestream.

Looking at the camera, she said, "Yes, we're married, but I hope everyone won't pay too much attention to it."

Just then, a stern-looking man happened to walk past behind her. "Honey, where did we put our marriage certificate? I need to take it with me tomorrow."

Ning Zi: …

Upcoming novel: The Too-Goofy Couch Potato Becomes a Sensation

Yue Xiaofan transmigrates into a cannon-fodder supporting actress in an entertainment-industry power fantasy. She's been in the business for years and has diligently appeared in countless films, yet she doesn't even have her own character page. You could say she's reached a whole new level of being cannon fodder.

In her previous life, she was at least a C-list celebrity. This life is even worse.

Yue Xiaofan closes her eyes and accepts her fate. Being a couch potato isn't so bad. I'm done trying so hard.

A dating reality show becomes a hit, and Yue Xiaofan joins the cast as a background extra.

But then her childhood friend, the big shot Fu Yuze, joins the show, too.

Yue Xiaofan: I know him, so it'll be even easier to slack off.

The other female contestants try every trick to catch Fu Yuze's eye.

Yue Xiaofan: Head down, eat up. Foodies have foodies' souls, and foodies are the best of the best.

The male and female contestants exchange meaningful glances.

Yue Xiaofan: Take a hundred steps after eating, and live to ninety-nine.

When the show airs,

viewers see a peculiar contestant in the midst of all the scheming and rivalry: she gets up early to exercise, takes walks after meals, and keeps her head down while eating. All the other female contestants lose weight, but she gains two pounds!

The viewers are instantly amused. "Whatever else you say, I'm a fan of this young lady. I have to see what miserable days she goes through trying to lose weight next."

Yue Xiaofan: Are you people even human?

Yue Xiaofan becomes a sensation, and the other female contestants secretly grit their teeth.

One star says, "Even if she gets famous, if none of the male contestants picks her, she'll still have to leave the show."

But no one could have expected this.

During the contestants' mutual selection, the aloof Fu Yuze chooses Yue Xiaofan.

The entire internet is shocked!

Haters immediately dig up a picture of the heroine getting into the richest man's car.

The richest man responds: "What's wrong with my daughter getting into my car?"

A top-tier star in the industry reposts it: "What's wrong with my little sister getting into my dad's car?"

Fu Yuze reposts: "What's wrong with my fiancee getting into my father-in-law's car?"

The richest man: ??

Yue Xiaofan: ??? When did I become your fiancee? Didn't we agree to overturn this arranged marriage?

But the man is always coming and going in a hurry, and when she really does run into him, she doesn't dare say a word.

One day, Zhang Dongyan comes home to find her standing nervously in the living room.

Like a little rabbit just caught by a hunter.

Her dark eyes are clear, and her voice is soft and sweet. "I'm planning to move out and live with a friend. Thank you for letting me stay here."

He can't help frowning. "What friend? Bring them over and let me have a look first."

A soft-spoken, timid little bunny who looks easy to bully, and really is easy to bully.
