I Became Famous After Breaking Character in the Entertainment Industry

P.S. The male lead is a nine-tailed fox, not a human. He appears in only a small part of the story. Most of it focuses on the heroine's career.

Blurb:

In her previous life, Jiang Yuchi was branded a high-class green tea by the entertainment industry, thanks to the innocent, delicate persona her company created for her.

She spent five years in show business, and all five years being cyberbullied.

When she woke up again, Jiang Yuchi had returned to the year she joined a talent competition.

When her company handed her the script of a pretty but useless beauty, she tore it up without hesitation.

The talent show's producers asked why she wanted to join. The other girls humbly said they wanted to learn and improve their skills. Jiang Yuchi just smiled. "I want to be famous."

The haters: Trying to take the route of being famous for all the wrong reasons? Dream on.

Then, midway through the competition, Jiang Yuchi used the threats and leverage held by the show and her company to publicly turn the tables on them, and shot to fame in no time.

On a film set, paparazzi caught Jiang Yuchi double-booking projects, using a body double, and acting like a diva.

The haters: She's not professional at all. With acting like that, just wait to be mocked.

But she not only immediately clarified the rumors spread by marketing accounts relying on misleading photos, she also became a sensation after her TV series aired. It became a massive hit, and Jiang Yuchi won the Best Actress award.

Netizens noticed Jiang Yuchi had changed.

Before, Jiang Yuchi would only whine, "Aww, I can't lift this." Now, when the elevator broke, she could hoist a bucket of water and storm up ten flights of stairs.

Before, Jiang Yuchi loved stirring up dating rumors with male celebrities. Now, when a romance rumor surfaced between her and a top-tier star, she immediately posted on Weibo: "Sorry, I'm an up-and-coming celebrity. I'm not dating."

Over time, the netizens changed, too.

Before: When will that green tea Jiang Yuchi get out of the entertainment industry?

Now: Sob, if Big Sis left the entertainment industry, it would be our loss.

[Romance]

At the height of her fame, Jiang Yuchi was photographed by paparazzi entering and leaving a residence with a mysterious man. Marketing accounts promptly revealed that Jiang Yuchi and Huai Chu were dating.

Netizens: Weren't they arguing on set? Didn't they almost fight over the last piece of meat on a variety show? Didn't they say they wouldn't get together even if they were the last man and woman on Earth?

The haters: I'm going back to my old job. Jiang Yuchi, get out of the entertainment industry!

Just as everyone thought Jiang Yuchi had returned to her old ways and staged the whole thing for publicity, she clarified it herself at an awards ceremony.

Huai Chu: "The rumors about me and Teacher Jiang online are true."

Everyone: I just want to ask, do your faces hurt now or what!!!
