Blurb:

Qin Qin, the boss of a media company, is beautiful and rich. Countless people want to get close to her.

To deal with a business partner's request for a marriage alliance, she casually pointed out a man on a film set.

But her business partner turned out to be the sort who wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted, insisting that she bring the man over.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to watch me and my puppy have a sex scene, too?"

It feels great to snap back in the moment, but lies come back to bite you.

But being a star was too much trouble. At a friend's urging, Qin Qin found a man who looked somewhat like her "pretty boy" and used him as a shield.

The man was so sweet and obedient, exactly to her liking.

Gradually, she began to have feelings for him.

Shen Wen had someone in his heart. He watched them shine brightly and climb higher and higher.

He tried everything he could to get close to them.

But after spending one passionate night together, they decisively kept their distance from him.

They simply found his status as a star too troublesome.

With no other choice, he used a secret identity to act like the type of person she liked.

She liked innocent male college students, so he approached her under the guise of being one.

She liked seeing him blush and get flustered when teased, so he pretended to be shy.

As she grew more and more attached to him, the famously decisive female CEO of the Qin family confessed her feelings.

Shen Wen should have been happy. But when he thought of how all her love was meant for "Shen Shen," he grew so jealous he could hardly stand it.

"Qin Qin, Shen Wen is a brilliant actor. He can play any role you want, so please look at Shen Wen, okay?"

The Road Home After Transmigrating to the Stars

[I come from the most peaceful country on distant Blue Star.

The blood flowing through my veins is red.

My country, too, grew through hardship.

If my life of comfort is built on other people's suffering,

I'm sorry, but I... can't accept that.]

Xie Qiao transmigrated.

The damn heavens had tossed her into a world among the stars.

The bad news: technology had advanced tremendously, but society was extremely distorted. One percent of the oligarchs controlled 99 percent of the wealth.

The good news: her soul had transmigrated into the body of a powerful family's child, so she didn't have to endure the hardships of the lower classes.

Even better news: her parents loved her, she had a few good friends, and her life was without regrets.

She thought she could settle down and live in this world.

And surrounded by the warmth of family and friendship, she gradually let go of her desire to return to her homeland.

Until she saw the butler kick a raggedly dressed person to the ground and have the guards point a laser gun at their head.

The person trembled, whether from pain or fear, yet still forced themself to kneel and beg her for mercy. "S-sorry... I'm sorry, my lord..."

She staggered backward in terror.

When she got home, she told her parents about the butler's cruelty.

But her parents smiled at her helplessly and affectionately. "Qiao Qiao, the butler was only looking out for you. Who knows what diseases those people might be carrying? If you got sick, the butler couldn't help you."

Unable to understand, she complained to her friend.

But her friend replied, "Qiao Qiao, instead of worrying about those lowlifes, why don't you pay more attention to me?"

She was stunned.

Only then did Xie Qiao truly understand the difference between herself and them.

[If family, friendship, and love can all be sustained by feelings,

then how can we bridge the gulf between our beliefs?

I'm not from this interstellar world, so I can't turn a blind eye to civilians being abused.

If that's the case, why not turn this messed-up society upside down while searching for a way home?]
