Lu Zhizhi had gone through a round of quick transmigration worlds and finally completed her missions perfectly, ready to retire and enjoy her golden years.
Then she woke up one day and discovered she had transmigrated again.
This time, she was a washed-up nobody buried under one scandal after another: faking her academic credentials, bullying newcomers, and failing to seduce a powerful industry figure.
Not only was her contract about to be terminated, she was being boycotted by the public and blacklisted across the internet. The trending topic #LuZhizhiGetOutOfTheEntertainmentIndustry# remained near the top, and clickbait posts listing her ten alleged crimes were getting astonishing views.
Her agency planned to squeeze every last bit of value out of her before kicking her to the curb.

Then everyone suddenly noticed that Lu Zhizhi had changed.
During the cooking segment, Lu Zhizhi, who supposedly couldn't even tell scallions from garlic, fried, stir-fried, and deep-fried with effortless skill. She whipped up all kinds of dishes with ease, and even Michelin-starred chefs couldn't match her cooking.
Netizens: Name your price for a phone that lets me smell the food. I'm drooling so hard I'm crying.
During the antiques appraisal segment, Lu Zhizhi, who supposedly came from the countryside and still couldn't afford a house, spotted at a glance that a priceless ancient painting was a fake.
Netizens: ...Is her background story even true? How can someone who knows so much about all these treasures be broke?
During the Olympic cheer segment, Lu Zhizhi, who supposedly relied on her pretty face alone to get by in the industry, wore a gorgeous traditional outfit and spun a long sword, sending sword flowers blossoming through the air. Her name dominated Weibo's trending topics throughout the Olympics.
Netizens: Anyone who calls Zhizhi a pretty face with nothing inside is getting this shoved in their face. We'll knock some sense into them!
Finally came the quiz segment. Her haters said everyone knew Lu Zhizhi had faked her academic credentials. Surely she'd mess up this time, right?
But just five minutes into the competition, Lu Zhizhi had answered every question and left her stunned opponent standing alone onstage.
Netizens: ...A hundred questions!! Is she even human? She's a true genius!
Lu Zhizhi: You're too kind.
After the show aired, public opinion completely turned around.
Lu Zhizhi's reputation went from rock bottom to being held in the highest regard.
The topic #HiddenGemGirlLuZhizhi# once again flooded the trending charts. Then, after paparazzi secretly photographed her, everyone discovered that the powerful industry figure she had supposedly failed to seduce had long since become her devoted admirer.
