The Entire Entertainment Industry Thinks I'm a Bootlicker

Shi Ning is a famous investor in the entertainment industry. Every show she backs becomes a hit, and everyone she takes a liking to becomes a star. After building her empire, she was ready to retire and enjoy life, but unexpectedly transmigrates into a book.

She becomes a cannon-fodder side character with the same name in an entertainment-industry novel.

The original Shi Ning was rich and beautiful. She entered the entertainment industry full of hopes and dreams, only to be relentlessly attacked online and mocked for shamelessly throwing herself at male celebrities.

Fans all think Shi Ning is a pathetic star-chaser and a jinx. They pray she'll stay away from their idols while cursing rival celebrities for getting mixed up with her.

As for those unlucky enough to work with her, netizens gleefully wait for them to crash and burn, ready to feast on the gossip.

Shi Ning: "Heh, looking forward to the show, are you?"

What's so exciting about a miserable downfall when you can have a triumphant comeback and face-slapping instead?

And so...

A talented director who never got his due scores a box-office hit.

An actor who'd been out of the spotlight for years becomes a movie star.

Even scandal-plagued idols, unknown singers, and comedians stuck with awkward personas all fight their way back from the brink, turn the tables, and become stars in the entertainment industry.

Fan 1: "...Is it too late to regret this?!"

Fan 2: "Even if it's too late, I have to ask! Sis, please get close to our idol! If you can't get close, just look at him! We beg you!"

Before long, Shi Ning has brought most of the entertainment industry under her wing once again. She keeps a low profile, giving herself no credit, and when she prepares to leave the industry, she discovers that the biggest star of all is... herself?
