I Became the Villain Who Was Forced to Dote on the Heroine of an Angsty Romance

[Not a groveling-after-the-breakup story, not a power fantasy. The author's personal worldbuilding serves the plot.] [Rich heiress and slick, powerful businesswoman on top x aloof, stubborn award-winning actress facing a career crisis on the bottom] 24 x 27, 1v1, happy ending Meng Qiuran, a master of capital maneuvering, transmigrates into an unfinished, angst-heavy novel as a rich villainess: an arrogant, rebellious heiress who loves to cause trouble and defy everyone. She also gets stuck with a System that gives out tasks as reluctantly as someone straining on the toilet. It only tells her that if she wants to return to her original world, she must help the novel's heroine, Gu Ruolan, win every major Best Actress award and find a happy romantic relationship. Meng Qiuran recalls the main plot: Gu Ruolan has just won her first international Best Actress award when she's hit with a string of scandals: suspected alcoholism, fighting for billing order on her new film and throwing her weight around on set, deliberately pushing the limits for attention on a variety show, and being sued by her former employer for breach of contract and damages. But the System says Gu Ruolan was framed. As for how it happened, the System is back to straining on the toilet... Meng Qiuran winces. "Yikes... This really is angsty." Forced to feel her way through things on her own, she realizes that this aloof, cold actress really is starved for affection and terribly unlucky. The people she trusts most keep stabbing her in the back simply because she's too talented. What should she do? Obviously, cause some trouble. So Gu Ruolan's rival for billing order, her bribed assistant, and the agent who tampered with her contract are all dealt with one after another. But where is this perpetually single actress supposed to find a happy romance now? As it happens, Gu Ruolan's first love, Jiang Sinian, returns from abroad. This former top financier in the film industry still has plenty of influence. Meng Qiuran thinks that at last the task can be completed perfectly, right? Her heart aches a little, but Meng Qiuran still offers her encouragement and best wishes. But... why has Gu Ruolan's expression gone cold? ** Gu Ruolan was born with a face made for film. With her refined aura and extraordinary acting talent, she's the actress most likely to win every major Best Actress award in recent years. But she's aloof, cold, and stubborn, and her refusal to bend has offended plenty of people. The scandals appear out of nowhere, one after another, and her once-thriving career teeters on the brink. The notorious Meng heiress, a so-called party girl, meddles once again. Stubborn Gu Ruolan bites her lip until it bleeds. Only after the fact does she realize that Meng Qiuran's sabotage was actually a way of helping her out, and even carried a strange hint of affection. Just as her heart begins to stir, she hears that woman encouraging her to go find happiness. This time, Gu Ruolan corners Meng Qiuran in a room, her eyes red. "Why are you so mean?"
