Blurb

The mermaid Su Zhi transmigrates into a novel about the entertainment industry as a cannon-fodder supporting actress. According to the original plot, she gets caught lip-syncing, uses a body double for her acting scenes, and eventually leaves the industry in disgrace after being hated by the entire internet.

As a mermaid with a heavenly singing voice and tears that turn into pearls,

Su Zhi says: I’m going to slay them all (smile.jpg).

At a gala, Su Zhi wows the entire audience with a song featuring incredibly high notes and a high degree of difficulty.

The audience marvels at the dazzling girl onstage, quiet and gentle as a little princess.

The show ends. The very next moment, they hear a jubilant shout from the microphone Su Zhi forgot to turn off.

“Yee-haw!”

Audience: ??? Give us back our quiet, gentle little princess!

After the gala, Su Zhi is invited to collaborate with a famous musician. At the recording studio, she meets movie emperor Jiang Du.

In the original novel, Jiang Du is aloof and handsome, devoted to his career, and an unattainable dreamboat in the entertainment industry.

At this moment, the dreamboat is sitting on the sofa, watching a hilarious video of her shouting “Yee-haw!” last night on his phone.

Su Zhi: ??? Give me back my unattainable, aloof male idol!

At an open audition for a big-budget production, Su Zhi draws a crying scene. She weeps so beautifully that her tears fall like pearls, outshining all the other performers and winning the female lead role.

Director: Xiao Zhi plays a gorgeous, badass woman general!

At the cast dinner, for the first time in her fish life, she sees a feast of delicacies that aren’t seafood.

There’s a pig’s trotter in her bowl, braised pork between her chopsticks, and cumin lamb ribs in her mouth. She eats with grease all over her hands.

Director: ???

Jiang Du, who plays the male lead, passes her a napkin under the table.

He mouths: “Your mouth.”

Su Zhi looks at the scallion stuck to the napkin and realizes that the “gorgeous, badass” image is never going to work for her.

Rumor has it that movie emperor Jiang Du is devoted to his career and never promotes romantic pairings.

In an interview shortly after his debut, he even publicly said, “My ideal partner is a mermaid.”

During a livestream, a fan asks Su Zhi what she thinks of her co-star Jiang Du’s embarrassing old claim that he wants to marry a mermaid.

Su Zhi’s ears turn slightly red. Before she can answer, Jiang Du’s deep voice suddenly rings out in the livestream.

“Your little mermaid has already married me.”

Fans: ??? Is the couple I ship for real???

Advance reservation blurb

Qin Mu, a rich second-generation heir who likes to lie flat, finds a little zombie in a full-dive post-apocalyptic survival game.

The little zombie is handsome, with clear, lovely, rose-colored eyes. He is obedient and quiet, and when a horde of zombies attacks, he hides behind her and says in a small, aggrieved voice,

“Big sis, they’re so scary.”

Looking at his face, so much like that of her childhood friend who had passed away, Qin Mu takes the little zombie with her.

She soon realizes that ever since she started raising the little zombie, her luck seems to have improved a lot.

Zombies they run into move aside on their own. People who try to steal her resources are immediately surrounded by zombie hordes. And the items she obtains in the game can even be brought into the real world!

She looks at the little zombie, who says even the most awful food tastes good and has grown thinner, and quietly clenches her fist.

She’s going to give her little one the very best!

Qin Mu’s close friends soon notice that the rich young lady, famous for spending money like water, has suddenly become a different person.

She starts a pharmaceutical company and patents new drugs.

She starts a food company, and its new products sell out.

Qin Mu hands the little zombie all the new medicines and foods she developed in the real world using items from the game. “Little one, don’t be scared. I’ll make sure you grow up nice and plump!”

One day, she opens her eyes and the apocalypse has truly arrived.

Citizens: “The new medicine from Qin Mu’s pharmaceutical company can prevent people from turning into zombies!”

“Qin Mu’s food company makes compressed biscuits that keep you full for ages!”

Qin Mu watches as the little zombie, now in the real world, twists a zombie’s head off with one hand and scatters a horde of zombies kneeling to worship him and call him “King.” But when he sees her, his expression suddenly turns panicked, and his eyes grow red at the corners.

“Big sis, I’m so scared!”

Qin Mu: “...”

A scheming, sweet-faced zombie × a lively, kind-hearted rich young lady

Theme: Hard work matters more than a protagonist’s halo.
