Who announced their relationship in the entertainment industry today, and who fell from grace tomorrow, should have had nothing to do with her. But because of these disgraced celebrities, the dramas she'd filmed had to be shot all over again, the production she'd just auditioned for stopped filming with no word on when it would resume, and the dramas she'd finished shooting and editing could never be broadcast... Qin Yu, an entertainment-industry wage slave, declared: I'll never make peace with you disgraced celebrities! Just then, Qin Yu awakened to the fact that she was a supporting female character in a gossip novel. The female lead in the book was a rising star in the entertainment industry.

Although she was a good actress, every production she landed had a lead or supporting actor who had either already fallen from grace or was on the verge of doing so. Spoiled by all the spoilers, Qin Yu was ready to give up on life. Since everyone else was slacking off, maybe she should, too... Yeah, right. If everyone else fell from grace, that would mean more opportunities for her. She surveyed the entertainment industry. You, kid. You debuted through a talent show three years ago and have been dating someone every year since, men and women alike. Now that you've fallen from grace, your brand deals are up for grabs. That fashion magazine cover? I'll take it. And you, who got the lead in a historical fantasy romance thanks to your backers. Your acting is so bad it's painful to watch, and the only reason people think you're popular is because of all the hype. After the whole internet criticized you, you even sarcastically blamed the audience for being blind. Qin Yu, a scene-stealer, took the lead and crushed them all in both acting and reputation, easily landing film and television roles. While searches about celebrities falling from grace and other scandals flooded the trending lists, Qin Yu's hashtag, #HerActingIsReallyEasyOnTheEyes, shot straight to number one.

She was the hardest-working person in the Chinese entertainment industry. Qin Yu's response: Go ahead and fall from grace, all of you. If you do, don't blame me for picking up the pieces. I'll gladly take all those resources and fans you don't care about.
