Blurb:

One second, Pei Zhili had just finished watching a brainwashing gossip video about a girl group. The next, she was in the arms of the video's leading lady.

Looking at the impossibly beautiful Pei Zhuxuan standing before her, Pei Zhili fell silent.

She never imagined that just watching a brainwashing video could make her transmigrate. Could it be that Heaven wanted her to verify whether the video's claims were true for herself?

After absorbing the memories in her mind, how could she possibly believe what the original owner remembered?

It felt like Pei Zhuxuan was about to chew her out the moment she opened her mouth, or slap her the moment she raised a hand.

So Pei Zhili instinctively dodged and stepped back, successfully shocking everyone.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Pei Zhili felt wronged. She secretly resolved to expose this woman's true colors.

And then... she changed her mind.

Pei Zhili: Unnie, cuddle with me~

Pei Zhuxuan: I just can't do anything with you, can I? (With a doting smile)

Kang Seulgi: I'm used to it. (Looking resolute)

Son Seungwan: I want to cuddle too. (Looking envious)

Park Sooyoung: I don't know who to envy. (Looking conflicted)

Kim Yerim: You're all mine. (Raring to go)

Pei Zhili and Pei Zhuxuan are Red Velvet's two visual queens, one a cool beauty and the other an energetic peach. Their debut caused a sensation throughout the entertainment industry.

After transmigrating and figuring everything out, Pei Zhili settled in and decided to keep the original owner's persona, becoming a gorgeous freeloader who just wanted to coast through life.

But her groupmates quickly figured her out. She can't resist praise. The moment someone compliments her, she becomes full of energy and will see the job through even if it kills her.

For instance, she wanted to half-heartedly get through her dance practice assignment, but Pei Zhuxuan stood beside her, looking at her proudly, and said:

"Our maknae is so amazing. You're really working hard. You'll practice seriously with us this afternoon, right?"

Praised by her, Pei Zhili practiced dance all afternoon, then collapsed on the practice room floor, exhausted.

She silently thought to herself that the brainwashing video had been fake, but Pei Zhuxuan really was terrifying.

For example, when she wanted to be a pretty background prop on a variety show, Kang Seulgi came over, patted her head, and said gently:

"Our adorable maknae will show everyone her charm on the show, right? Unnie can already picture the audience falling for you!"

By the end of the show, Pei Zhili's mouth was dry. She silently thought to herself again:

Ah, so Zhuxuan unnie isn't the only scary one. Seulgi unnie is scary too.

After a mere month of life in Red Velvet, Pei Zhili had come to one conclusion:

The brainwashing videos were fake, but Red Velvet's unnies really were terrifying.

And so, praised by a bunch of shameless older sisters, Pei Zhili found herself on the never-ending road to becoming an overachiever.

As for men...

Ha. How can men compare to making money? How can men compare to cuddling up to beautiful older sisters? Men would only slow down my money-making.
