[Currently correcting typos. Some plot points are also being revised. Check Weibo: Jinjiang Zhang Xiuzhu for updates.] Also known as Why Drive an Office Worker Crazy?
Su Mianyue unexpectedly transmigrates into a book as the real heiress, but deliberately avoids the plot and goes about her life, studying and working as usual.
Every day, she struggles with her boss's 24/7 exploitation and endlessly revised PowerPoint presentations.
Then her boss's cold voice comes through: "I still think the first version was better."
Su Mianyue goes completely off the rails. She unplugs the computer, deletes all the backups and original files, hacks the entire company, then turns around and joins the entertainment industry.
Thanks to her familiarity with the original novel, she works diligently as an entertainment-industry wage slave and becomes little more than a background character on a rural reality show.
Except...
1. A beautiful rich heiress and a rich second-generation kid argue furiously over the car keys.
Su Mianyue, starving on the spot, snatches the keys and throws them into the river, shouting, "Stop fighting! We're walking!"
2. The fake heiress and the second male lead exchange smoldering glances as they take turns applying medicine to each other.
Su Mianyue, waiting for rescue by the sea, escapes and grabs a megaphone. "You both have fiances! Why are you flirting?"
Her unhinged antics take the internet by storm. This isn't going crazy, it's a matter of survival! Netizens all flock to her for advice.
Su Mianyue becomes a huge star thanks to the show, and zealously spreads the gospel of going off the rails.
So why drive an office worker crazy in the first place?
*
Su Mianyue's assistant is the envy of everyone because Su Mianyue strictly follows labor laws.
Five types of social insurance and a housing fund, nine to six, weekends off, time off for personal matters without being asked why, business trips on the company dime... The benefits are unbelievably good.
Coming soon: The Real Heiress Has a Ton of Tentacles
Gu Xiaoman, an octopus spirit, has an extremely bizarre dream.
In the dream, her ex-boyfriend scams her using a credit card, leaving her with three million yuan in loan-shark debt. She has to pay back thirty thousand yuan a month or she'll be abducted and trafficked for her organs.
Meanwhile, the fake heiress who was switched at birth is a rising star in the entertainment industry. Backed by the wealthy Gu family, she has two brothers who dote on her and parents who give her anything she wants. She lives in a mansion, drives luxury cars, and is pursued by countless eligible men.
When she wakes, Gu Xiaoman curls her lip in disdain. She's a top talent manager in the industry, with an Oscar-winning actress, an international superstar, and a top-tier celebrity under her wing. A rising starlet wouldn't even make the cut.
Suddenly, her phone pings with a text message.
[AAA Loan Sharks: You must repay 30,000 yuan by the end of this month, or you'll face the consequences!!!]
Gu Xiaoman crashes on the spot and reverts to her octopus form, her eight tentacles twisting into knots as she reluctantly accepts the truth.
She has transmigrated into a story about a real heiress and a fake heiress, as the tragic real heiress.
*
Determined to get back on her feet, Gu Xiaoman decides to return to her old job as a talent manager.
But after looking at the artists she's recruited, she feels so bored she could dry out. There's a delicate white-lotus villain who cries at the drop of a hat, a scheming green-tea villain, a sharp-tongued villain who picks fights with everyone...
Has she somehow ended up in a den of villains?
Thinking about her enormous debt, Gu Xiaoman lets the lazy bunch have it.
"By the time you make it big, sharks will have gone vegetarian."
The fiercely proud white-lotus villain wipes away her tears while writing notes on films, then shines in the show I'm an Actor.
"Heh. Even an octopus would applaud a scheme this simple."
The green-tea villain, a self-healing little Zhuge Liang, turns ashen and frantically studies books on strategy from ancient and modern times, then repeatedly takes first place in the Scriptwriting Contest.
"You earn money slower than a turtle."
The arrogant, cash-strapped sharp-tongued guy takes the jab to heart and devotes himself to studying debate, then makes a splash on the show I Can Talk.
With her one-hundred-million-yuan goal finally in sight, Gu Xiaoman smiles until her eyes narrow. Her artists work hard, so the publicity needs to keep up.
All eight tentacles spring into action. She becomes their biggest fan and a fan-site photographer, producing fan fiction, fan art, promotional pictures, video edits... You name it. The artists under her management explode in popularity, with endorsements and ads rolling in. Plenty of fans even beg Gu Xiaoman to take their favorite stars under her wing.
At the same time, the corner of a certain domineering CEO's mouth curls up as he watches the progress of his mission to save villains steadily rise. Saving them one by one is too slow, he thinks. Why not start a joint company?
Coming soon: Civil Engineer in a Zombie Apocalypse, Picking Up Corpses Every Day
A civil engineer in the apocalypse, picking up corpses from the start.
Gou Ningnong, nicknamed Sister Gou, chose a pure science track in high school to get into a prestigious university, then picked civil engineering in college because it had the highest employment rate.
But after becoming a civil engineer, she spent every day shoveling cement at construction sites. Life was so bleak it felt like the end of the world. Just as she was despairing and ready to snap, she discovered that something even more despairing had begun.
She transmigrated into an apocalypse novel and became a zombie shoveling cement!
Gou Ningnong complained bitterly: Is this the fate of a civil engineer?
After barely managing to sneak away from the ability users' watch with two or three zombie underlings, the first thing she did was have them build a house while she worked as the construction manager.
Every so often, she'd run to a broken bridge to pick up corpses, scavenging the equipment and food they dropped.
Then one day, she seemed to find someone else who had transmigrated into a book.

Fang Jianyan was born a favored son of heaven. The Fang family was powerful, controlling the economic lifeline of Jingyun City. Even after the apocalypse, he awakened an ability and led his family in building a base.
But he never imagined that, just after taking the position of city lord, his family would frame him, destroy his ability, and infect him with the zombie virus.
Just when he thought his life was over, someone picked him up.
"Hey, I'm a civil engineering major. What's your major?" Fang Jianyan pushed up his battered glasses with gold wire frames, his eyes falling on the diary behind her.
"Human resources management."
"By the way, I transmigrated into a book too."
"Oh! Then we're the same kind!"
Coming soon: The Good-for-Nothing Alchemist's Rundown Clinic
[Modern Cultivation]
Wen Jiangyue is the least talented good-for-nothing alchemist in the Yaomen Sect.
Her senior brothers and sisters are all genius alchemists. They can start cultivating in three days, gather their focus and summon a flame in five, and make a top-grade, profound-level beauty pill in just seven.
It takes Wen Jiangyue two whole months to sense spiritual energy, five months to summon the fire in her heart meridian, and even after eight months she's still blowing up her furnace every day. In the end, she manages to make one of the lowest-grade pills.
Yet she's the most hardworking disciple of them all. She knows her medical texts inside out, but everyone calls her a medicine nerd.
Her master sighs every day. She's become a laughingstock of the Yaomen Sect and the entire cultivation world.
*
While gathering herbs in a secret realm, Wen Jiangyue unexpectedly transmigrates to the modern world and accidentally inherits a rundown clinic.
To earn enough money (spirit stones) to get home, Wen Jiangyue has no choice but to bring out her shoddy alchemy skills and boldly "deceive people and take their money."
Beauty pills that keep you looking young, clarity pills that improve your memory, rejuvenation pills that erase acne and scars...
Customers come in droves, including top-tier stars, politicians, celebrities, and business tycoons.
Her competitors can only stare in disbelief as one limited-edition luxury car after another lines up outside the rundown clinic.

Spiritual energy is scarce in the modern world, and cultivators are revered. Xu Zixu, who has just become a master alchemist, suddenly discovers that several of his disciples have secretly gone to study at a rundown clinic.
Furious, Xu Zixu brings a crowd of his cultivator friends to "expose the fraud."
"What? You started cultivating in two months, summoned a flame in five, and could make pills in eight?"
Wen Jiangyue lowers her head, her face full of shame. "I know. I've always been the least talented."
Hearing this, Xu Zixu wants to bash his head against a pillar.
Then what does that make him?
A clown who took a year to start cultivating?
Theme: Stay positive and optimistic, and the results will be good
? This is the first time I read this article and it stuck in my throat. If I hadn't bought it, I wouldn't have wanted to finish it.
They don't look at each other, right?
It really feels like an illegitimate daughter
. . . There are no words to describe how I feel right now. . .
Help, I've been hit again, it's the last few chapters, there's a kidnapping scene, the hero saves the beauty, I'm convinced, why should I buy these two chapters?
Ah, the follow-up is so concise.
"Su Xueya looked at Gu Jingming and said, "Catch a big bug for the author~ Could you please pay a little more attention? I have typed the names of Su Xueya and Su Mianyue wrong many times. It looks really uncomfortable...
It's really disgusting, including this mother. The whole family is not normal. Can you please hurry up and beat them hard?
Isn't it a bit silly? Gu Jingming had already warned them that they were not necessarily real police officers, and didn't the heroine also have doubts about them at that time? That's why he can still take the initiative to call people.
From now on, I really can't get too addicted to reading, because it will kill me.
