Ye Zhen is a pretty face in show business. Aside from marketing her looks, she has no work to her name. She speaks without a filter and is hated by countless people. After awakening, Ye Zhen sees her future: she will be blacklisted across the internet.
She pulls out her civil service exam prep books and says, “I really can't make a living as a celebrity. I'll take the civil service exam instead.”
Ye Zhen drops into her fan group: Who can solve this aptitude test question? DM me and teach me.
Her fans stop organizing watch parties and promoting her, and focus on studying instead. Later, they pass their civil service exams one after another.
The official media gives her the title: A leader in learning.
At a dinner party hosted by a business tycoon, famous stars from across the entertainment industry scramble to attend. Ye Zhen: No, I'm not going. I have to study for my exam.
Later, the tycoon falls from grace, and the secrets of his dealings with capital are exposed. A host of stars are implicated, but Ye Zhen stays out of it.
Netizens: A breath of fresh air in showbiz, with the right principles.
Official media: #A role model for artists, staying true to herself in murky waters#
A variety show about acting brings veteran actors together as judges. Ye Zhen's eyes light up: Even though I'm busy studying, I have to take part. The civil service interview includes an acting test, so I can't miss this chance to learn.
Ye Zhen memorizes everyone's lines and practices their movements and expressions over and over. She rehearses with every actor, and her acting improves rapidly. She performs in every show and ultimately wins the Actor of the Year title.
Netizens: The hardest-working person in showbiz.
Official media: #Talent is what really counts#
After passing the civil service exam, her agent hands her a script. Ye Zhen waves it away: Civil servants don't mix with showbiz.
