The Noble Consort Only Wants to Go Viral

The Noble Consort transmigrates.

She transmigrates into a fanfic called The Villainess Goes Viral in the Entertainment Industry by Being a Carefree Slacker, based on an old-fashioned melodramatic novel called The Rich Family's Adopted Daughter Is the Domineering CEO's Darling. She is neither the original female lead nor the female lead who transmigrated into the book. She's a disposable character who never even appears onscreen, existing only in other people's dialogue. Her purpose is to expose the despicable behavior of the scumbag who mooches off the female lead who transmigrated into the book, and to bring about a happy ending in which the original leads are forced apart, then reconcile over her grave.

When the Noble Consort transmigrates, the disposable villainess has just been condemned by netizens and the actress's fans for liking a post mocking an actress's photo announcement of her new boyfriend: "She's old and past her prime, going after a young guy." No one knows that the actress's new boyfriend is the scumbag the villainess has secretly been dating for three years. Enraged, the disposable villainess swallows pills to kill herself. When she wakes up again, she has become the Noble Consort, the emperor's favorite.

Manager: "You actually tried to kill yourself over a scumbag!"

The Noble Consort fumes helplessly: I didn't! I wouldn't! Just listen to me explain! This palace has closed its heart to love and only wants to become famous!

Scumbag: "I only think of you as a little sister!"

The Noble Consort: That scumbag line sounds awfully familiar. Has anyone ever told you you're greasy?

An actress fooled by the scumbag: "Are you trying to steal my man?"

The Noble Consort: Don't be mad at me, sis. I only wanted to get your attention.

Original female lead: "Sniffle, I didn't mean to take your identity. I didn't want to either. You have no idea how miserable I am in this family!"

Original male lead: "Don't think you can bully Ali just because you're my biological sister. You don't even measure up to one of her fingernails!"

The Noble Consort: Your brain must be the size of a fingernail!

Female lead who transmigrated into the book: "Hey, sis, you're amazing! Let's lie flat, slack off, and gossip together!"

The Noble Consort: No thanks. I'm working myself to the bone to get famous! No one can beat me in the field I'm good at!

Much later, after tearing scumbags apart, kicking idiots to the curb, fiercely competing with her peers, and doing everything she can to stir up trouble, the Noble Consort finally gets her wish and secures her throne as the empress of the entertainment industry.

Reporter: "What drives you to work so hard?"

The Noble Consort, cool and regal: "I just want everyone to know that I'm the empress!"

A certain someone: "...And I'm working hard to become the empress's favorite!"

A note before you start:

This is a story where the author lets go completely. The author wanted to lift their spirits, so they switched to a whole new genre. It's a brainless Mary Sue story, so don't read it if that's not your thing.

No outline, no stockpile of chapters, just winging it. No logic, no substance, no real-life inspiration. It's all for the fun of it.

I've hit such a bad block that I have no inspiration, so I'm putting this on hold for now. I'll come back when inspiration strikes. (.?_?.)?~
