[Blurb]
+++++++++ For the sake of her unrequited love, Shui Qing actually gave up inheriting her uncle's estate and chose to become an obscure, eighteenth-tier celebrity.
As it turned out, her unrequited love was a kept man living off a rich woman. She was being cheated on, and before she could even catch him in the act, she was sent to the afterlife in a car accident.
When she woke up, she discovered she had been reborn.
The System told her she had such a miserable life only because she was a love-struck supporting female character in a romance novel.
Shui Qing: ...
Is nobody going to speak up for me?
System: So you need to shake off that reputation. You need to win over high-quality men and give the female lead a thorough slap in the face.
Shui Qing: Sorry, but I have the power of money.
*
On her first day in charge, faced with the chaotic inner workings of Sunrise Entertainment, where under-the-table rules ran rampant, Shui Qing gave every member of the company a copy of Criminal Law.
Say no to illegal and disorderly behavior. Check.
Tax evasion? Idols with poor character? Terrible dramas everywhere?
She would keep them all under strict control, doing her best to give fans and viewers a perfect experience of following celebrities.
Shui Qing: Sorry, but I'm going to whip this rotten entertainment industry into shape first.
*
With the original novel's plot in hand and a money buff stacked on top, she managed to revitalize even a third-rate entertainment company like Sunrise.
With her "loving assistance," an expressionless top-tier star broke out of his niche with just one leaked behind-the-scenes photo.
A love-struck, innocent starlet went on a dating show and came back clear-headed and focused on her career.
A talented director with no resources was handed 600 million by her, and his film's box office shot straight to a historic high.
As the stars grew famous, Sunrise Entertainment gradually entered the public eye and became an industry legend.
Fans before: I hope my precious idol never gets involved with Sunrise Entertainment.
Fans now: I swear I won't drink milk tea for six months if my idol joins Sunrise Entertainment.
Then one night, the number-one trending topic read: [She's actually the president of Sunrise Entertainment?]
The trending topics that night:
#Sister Shui protects my livelihood, so I'll make Sister Shui a top-tier star#
#This year's undisputed rising star: Shui Qing#
Shui Qing: ?
While Shui Qing was nursing a headache and turning down one fashion brand endorsement and invitation to a hit variety show after another, she suddenly realized that she was the one on the trending lists, short-video platforms were discussing her, and even the giant screens in the city squares were covered in messages supporting her.
Without even noticing, she seemed to have become famous and turned into a rising star.

Shui Qing once told her scumbag unrequited love, "A scumbag like you wouldn't even be wanted if you were thrown in the trash."
And then, later, did she really pick up a man beside a trash can?
[Important Notice]
A feel-good career-focused story. No logic or basis in reality; this is my version of the entertainment industry.
This novel is entirely fictional. The characters are not based on real people. The world in this book is fictional and has no connection whatsoever to the real entertainment industry! Thank you!
One-on-one romance, both leads have had no other partners, super sweet, super satisfying.
I Cultivate Top-Tier Stars with a Dream System
Li Jiahe, a gold-medal agent.
After transmigrating, she became the trainee agent of a top-tier male star. Not only was her salary low, but she also had to endure his fans going after her: [Your professional skills are so bad, how do you have the nerve to take a salary?]
Li Jiahe, paid 3,000 yuan a month and even expected to buy coffee for people: ... Come on, you can do this stupid job yourself.
Even more outrageous, the top-tier star looked respectable enough, but actually tried to take advantage of her in exchange for a 1,000-yuan raise. Li Jiahe smiled and splashed coffee in his face in front of a crowd. That night, she topped the trending list and made her debut on the spot.
His fans shouted that any company daring to hire her would be bombarded with complaints and requests for invoices every day.
But they never expected Li Jiahe to be bound to the "Entertainment Industry Godhood System" and inherit a nearly bankrupt entertainment company that very night.
Mission objective: Reform the 2.08 million celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Golden finger: Build virtual dreamscapes and pull people into dreams for two-player missions.
Mission targets: A. An obscure boy group that has taken the art of boy-group performance to the extreme. B. An obscure starlet who only wants to fall in love. C. An idol who acts like a big shot despite being a nobody. D. A former movie emperor, full of patriarchal attitude, whose career has already gone cold.
Choose your hero!
Faced with these "classic character types" and "troublesome people," Li Jiahe chose without hesitation: all in.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled. "If we're playing, let's play big."
System: Host, you're amazing!!!
*
The obscure boy group, once known for its boy-group antics, was pulled into a dreamscape by her to train together. After going through all kinds of scenarios, including surviving on a deserted island and the apocalypse, they finally developed a brotherhood so moving that they would share a pair of pants if they had to.
The starlet, who had no interest in her career, was sent into a dreamscape too. She experienced several lifetimes of romance, all the way through marital problems between a wife and her mother-in-law. The experience completely crushed her youthful romantic fantasies, and she cried that she never wanted to fall in love again.
The arrogant female idol was also pulled into a dreamscape and made to work the fields for three whole months, learning the meaning of respect the hard way.
At first, when Li Jiahe joined xx Entertainment and topped the trending list, the top-tier star's fans mocked her mercilessly:
[That Jiahe and the losers at xx Entertainment really are a match made in heaven. Good for them.]
[Hahahaha, xx Entertainment was about to go under anyway. Now it'll go under even faster.]
But no one expected the artists at xx Entertainment to undergo a complete transformation under Li Jiahe's leadership.
The obscure boy group, previously bad at their jobs and constantly scheming against one another, suddenly united and took the internet by storm with their outstanding skills. New fans: So this is group spirit!! I'm going to stan them for life. Old fans: ??? Is this really our fake-brotherhood group?!
The starlet, who had no ambition and was frequently criticized, seemed to suddenly come to her senses. She took role after role, and her acting was so impressive that she won that year's Best Actress award in a TV drama.
The female idol, once arrogant and obnoxious, suddenly changed her ways and showed what it meant to be "a real expert" on a farming variety show. Onlookers: ??? Who knew you were such an honest, hardworking girl!
At first, everyone only wanted to watch the spectacle. But the more they watched, the more excited they got, until they were fired up! These outstanding artists all came from the same company.
And every one of the artists thanked Li Jiahe, saying that she had given their acting careers a new lease on life.
Netizens: ??? Wait, Sister He, can you become my idol's agent now?!
*
The entire entertainment industry wanted to become Li Jiahe's disciple, including the top-tier star who had once tried to take advantage of her.
On set, the respectable-looking top-tier star used to treat people according to their status. This time, he was utterly respectful, smiling obsequiously as he begged her for advice. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, still as arrogant as ever, then splashed coffee in his face again.
The top-tier star put out countless smear stories about her.
But this time, the whole internet said: [Hahaha, you're the one crying in a panic now.]
[Reading Guide]
There is a couple, but they have little page time; ensemble cast; Mary Sue; mindless feel-good fun; multiple people adore the female lead.
I just want to tell my own story. If you don't like it, please click X. No writing advice, thank you!
Theme: Be a law-abiding and upstanding citizen.
I don't mind if the male and female protagonists take advantage of each other's connections or take care of customers first for work, but I hate it when they are taken advantage of without discussion or even without hesitation.
Ahhhhh~ Xiao Shen, who is both engaged in career and in love now, has a much better image than his love brain in the early stage~ I love it~ I really love my career~
In this comparison between the two, I have to say that Xiao Shen won very thoroughly.
The core of comedy is tragedy, which is the sentence I hate most now, and the company's annual meeting... Is this a satire of the company? At the Alibaba annual meeting, there was only one chorus who happily complained about how busy he was, and all of them were interviewed by the leaders... This was the time when Alibaba was most popular in brand building when Jack Ma was here...
"Knowing what happened to him that day" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
"In the end, you keep your head down and behave" is a big bug for the author~
Good
"You are really good at calming people down." This is a big bug for the author~
comfort
"Do you have anything to teach me?]" This is a big bug for the author~
think
", Let those who are not okay" give the author a big bug ~
ill-intentioned
Didn't I say earlier that the team building was filmed? Why can this be related to maintenance?
