The Beloved Heroine Gets Trapped in a Love Triangle [Entertainment Industry]

[Updates at 9 p.m. If anything comes up, I'll take a day off. Mwah, mwah, mwah.]

Coming soon: "This Junior Sister Is Far Too Slow on the Uptake" and "I'm the Older Sister of the Tragic-Novel Male Lead [Book Transmigration]". Their blurbs are at the very bottom ↓

Blurb:

Qin Sui dreamed that she was the pure and innocent heroine of an entertainment-industry novel.

The whole world wanted to hurt her: her biological father, her stepmother, her stepsister, and so on...

Fortunately, she had the heroine's halo. Whenever she ran into trouble, someone who might be the male lead would show up to resolve it. They would also provide her with golden fingers to boost her career.

The obsessive CEO's eyes reddened. "I'll give you resources and a house."

The aloof actor's eyes were full of affection. "You're the only one who can play the lead in that show."

The sunny young idol's puppy eyes sparkled. "Only you can be the leading lady in my music video, sis."

But what they were thinking was:

[Her favorability is so high. It won't be long before I win her over.]

Qin Sui heard these thoughts the first time she met the male leads. She realized they were trying to win her over and would fake their deaths as soon as her favorability hit the maximum.

The romance had ended before it even began. This was... wonderful!

Qin Sui suppressed a laugh and rubbed her hands together eagerly.

If she didn't take advantage of this now, when would she?

Conqueror No. 1 gave her a house. She was happy, so she raised his favorability a little.

Conqueror No. 2 brought her resources. She was in a good mood, so she raised his favorability.

Conqueror No. 3 got hurt for her. How touching! She raised his favorability.

She gazed deeply at each of her conquerors, acting as if she were madly in love with them. That kept them motivated to win her over and brought her even more benefits.

Later, thanks to her superb acting, all three men fell deeper and deeper, consumed by insecurity and fear of losing her. But Qin Sui chose none of them.

The three men were baffled. They met in private and compared notes, only to discover that their favorability scores were all the same.

CEO: How can someone love three people at once?

Actor: Does her heart have three separate pieces?

Young idol: I didn't believe it before, but now I think it's possible...

.

Qin Sui: My heart is full of love for all, and I treat everyone equally. Come on, everyone, try to win me over! /:)

Reading guide:

1. A naturally unfeeling and fickle heroine, in an exaggerated, harem-style Mary Sue story.

2. She's flirtatious with everyone and looks at everyone as if she's in love, but she loves herself most.

3. The heroine can only hear some of the favorability information.

4. The clever male leads will use favorability to cater to her preferences, but she still has them wrapped around her little finger.

5. More comedic than serious. This isn't an uplifting, face-slapping power fantasy.

"This Junior Sister Is Far Too Slow on the Uptake"

Blurb:

Yan Qingqing is the last descendant of a family of puppeteers. When she was six, people from Tianji Island captured her and made her into a puppet, turning her into a formidable weapon.

During the Chaos War, the world changed. She took an attack meant for her master and her soul was scattered.

When she awoke, she was a baby. Yan Qingqing stared blankly as several people gathered around her, smiling.

.

The third elder of Xuan Yu Sect went to fight in the Chaos War and never returned, leaving behind a daughter who had just turned one month old.

The entire sect decided to raise the child well.

But little Qingqing never cried or fussed. She just stared blankly like a wooden doll. Even at sixteen, she still hadn't reached enlightenment, let alone begun cultivating.

Looking at their little junior niece, the sect elders reflected bitterly on their mistake and decided to put their junior sister in the care of the sect's most reliable senior brother.

Yan Qingqing, still staring blankly: Huh?

.

Xu Jinglu had transmigrated to the world of cultivation nearly a hundred years ago. He was the most reliable senior brother in the sect.

Kind and considerate, gentle yet powerful, he was trusted by his master and uncles and respected by his junior brothers and sisters. He was the most outstanding among the sect's younger generation.

One day, a sect uncle asked him to look after their junior sister, who had been mentally impaired and innocent since childhood, commonly known as a fool.

Xu Jinglu: ...

I do everything around here, but this... is a bit much! I'm not a nanny!

After meeting his blank-faced, adorable junior sister, Xu Jinglu decided: Well, I suppose I could be a mother hen.

.

Like everyone else in the sect, Xu Jinglu thought his junior sister was dazed and only as strong as a normal person.

Until the day they went down the mountain to train, fell into a demon clan trap, and found themselves on the brink of death...

Then their junior sister moved a finger and summoned a hundred dried corpses. With a single move, she turned the tide.

Xu Jinglu: ...

My junior sister was acting all along!

Reading guide:

1. A transmigrator with a built-in snark function, clearly powerful but incredibly timid, who always thinks he's a cannon-fodder male supporting character. He's an ultra-reliable senior brother and mother hen.

2. A genius puppet master who was reborn with her soul incomplete. She seems dazed but is actually clever, weak in everyday life, but turns into an overpowered monster-slayer when it counts.

3. Silly, irreverent cultivation story with missions and new maps.

4. Romance is minimal at first, since the junior sister is so dazed.

"I'm the Older Sister of the Tragic-Novel Male Lead [Book Transmigration]"

Blurb:

Eight-year-old Yuan Li awakened and learned that her younger brother was the male lead of a tragic romance novel. He would find a stand-in heroine for his white moonlight, then drain the heroine's blood and take her kidney for his white moonlight. In short, he was a terrible person.

But sweet romances were all the rage now, and old-fashioned tragic romances had been cast aside. Her brother had been reduced to cannon fodder, and she was caught up in it too, despite having barely any part in the story.

Yuan Li rolled up her sleeves and returned to the country. "There's no such thing as an impossible younger brother, only an older sister who isn't strict enough."

.

In the living room, seven-year-old Yuan Xingye wore a little suit. Staring at the rice porridge on his sleeve, he glared at the maid beside him. "How dare you get my favorite clothes dirty. How do you want to die?"

Looking at her little brother, already full of hostility at such a young age, Yuan Li pinned him across her lap and gave him a beating. "You talk about killing people at the drop of a hat? Who do you think you are?"

Kicking his little legs furiously, Yuan Xingye's face flushed. "Yuan Li! How dare you hit me on the butt!"

"Oh? So you think I can't handle you?" Yuan Li gave him a few more smacks. "Call me big sister."

The little boy stubbornly refused. "Yuan Li! I'm going to kill you!"

Three minutes later, Yuan Xingye was wailing at the top of his lungs. "Sis, I was wrong! Sis! I'm sorry!"

Yuan Li contentedly patted his head. "Yuan Xingye, use your words. If you say any more nonsense, next time I'll make your butt bloom."

Yuan Xingye sniffled, thinking that no monster in the world was as terrifying as the girl one year older than him.

And so, year after year, the power of blood ties held him down, beating the obsessive CEO he was meant to become back into line.

Yuan Xingye: Is there any CEO in the world with less dignity than me?

.

When the story finally began to unfold, a certain task-taker preparing to turn the male lead into cannon fodder discovered that...

The male lead was gentle and polite. He even apologized when he bumped into a telephone pole.

The male lead was faithful and respectable. He had never even had a first love, let alone found a stand-in.

The male lead had a stellar reputation in business circles. He always left people some room to maneuver and never went too far.

Oh, and the cold-blooded male lead from the original story was now the younger brother-in-law of a ruthless villain who committed every kind of evil. He was always going on about things like, "My sister this," "You're not good enough for my sister," and "That scheming bitch stole my sister." He was completely obsessed with his sister.

The task-taker was dumbfounded. "Did I transmigrate into the wrong book? Which part of this has anything to do with the original story?"

Reading guide:

1. The heroine is halfway to being reborn, because her mind is packed with memories of the original story.

2. Her younger brother was already a CEO as a child, arrogant and full of himself, always spouting all kinds of CEO catchphrases. A treasure trove of embarrassing moments.

3. The three of them grow up together. The villain is reborn, a scheming, sweet-talking green tea puppy.

Theme: Treat people sincerely, and you'll receive sincerity in return.
