Cinnabar Mole Says She Won't Be a Substitute

[Upcoming story blurb]

Yang Yanxi's family is extraordinarily talented. Her grandfather is a calligraphy master whose work is much sought-after. Her father is the chairman of a top hundred company in China. Her mother is an internationally renowned surgeon, and her older brother is a genius scientist at a research institute...

As the most useless one in her family, Yang Yanxi's ultimate goal is to coast through life and wait for death.

Then, without warning, she gets dragged into an idol competition.

A slacker who becomes an idol is still a slacker idol.

During the post-interview:

Question: Do you think you can debut?

Yang Yanxi: Maybe.

Question: If you don't debut, what do you plan to do?

Yang Yanxi: Find a stable nine-to-five job. It'd be even better if it paid 8,000 a month.

Question: Isn't that a bit of a low bar?

Yang Yanxi: With my abilities... is that really such a low bar?

Comments:

- At least she has a realistic view of herself.

- That's just how idol competition shows are. You'll get used to it.

- She's just given up, lol.

Later, netizens dug up the fact that Yang Yanxi graduated from Jiang University, one of the top three universities in the country.

Comments:

- Come on, here's a joke: Yang Yanxi says she's just average.

- A masterclass in humblebragging, right here.

- Hilarious. I didn't even get into an ordinary university. What did I say?

Later still, netizens dug up Yang Yanxi's family background.

Comments:

- Turns out I'm the clown.

- Turns out I'm the clown.

- Turns out I'm the clown (the rest, get in formation)

[Important warnings]

1. The focus is on her career. She won't date while she's an idol, and will change careers later.

2. Very little romance.

[Story blurb]

Yan Jingxi, the eldest daughter of the Yan Group, has a woman she holds dear in her heart.

This woman is elegant and aloof, with an extraordinary presence.

The only problem is that when Yan Jingxi was pulled from the water, the woman left too quickly, and Miss Yan never even got a good look at her face.

By chance, Bo Xia, a graduate student in the jewelry design department next door, is elegant and aloof, with an extraordinary presence. Miss Yan's restless heart finds comfort in her, and she takes meticulous care of her senior, anticipating all her needs. Looking at her is like seeing that silhouette against the light.

Then one day, Senior Bo falls in love.

Miss Yan promptly goes abroad to further her studies.

Years later, she returns to China. Someone scratches her car while it's parked by the roadside, then throws up all over it. Furious, Miss Yan decides to find the culprit and make them pay, only to come face-to-face with someone she recognizes...
