When My Best Friend Threw a Second-Tier College Student Onto a Dating Show

Ruan Jin was heartbroken. Her best friend, whom she hadn't spoken to in eight hundred years, called and invited her to join a dating reality show. Back when Ruan Jin was still dating her ex, her friend hadn't approved of him and had said they would definitely break up.

She hadn't expected it to actually happen.

But was her best friend really not doing this on purpose?! Didn't she know Ruan Jin was just an ordinary college graduate?!!

But then her friend said that if she didn't join, it meant she still couldn't get over that jerk.

Faced with that threat, Ruan Jin got fired up.

Her friend said all the male contestants were model material.

Faced with that temptation, Ruan Jin got fired up again.

So she joined. When she arrived, she discovered that the show was being livestreamed...

Aaaaah! My best friend set me up!

On the first day of the livestream, Ruan Jin kept a low profile. The others introduced their educations using all kinds of impressive-sounding academic jargon.

Ruan Jin: "I'm a college student."

Livestream viewers: [LMAO, Ruan Jin is so cute.]

[If I went on, I'd be just like that.]

[Ruan Jin is so me!]

On the second day of the livestream, Ruan Jin played the part of a lazy couch potato. The others showed off their resumes and all kinds of eye-popping credentials.

Ruan Jin: "I missed fall recruiting."

[Aw, I missed it too, girl.]

[LMAO, Ruan Jin doesn't fit in here at all, but I really like her.]

[Is this really something to be proud of? Okay, plus one, I missed it too.]

Ruan Jin had thought she was joining the dating show just to help her best friend fill out the cast and indulge her love of good-looking people. She'd even expected netizens to look down on her education.

But she never expected that soon after the show ended, work offers would come pouring in. It also came out that the mysterious comic artist who had appeared out of nowhere was Ruan Jin.

Ruan Jin: "??"

Her career-minded best friend had accepted all those jobs for her, and her schedule was packed through next year. Had the secret identity she'd hidden behind for so long just been exposed to the entire internet?

Her best friend: "Now you won't have time to be sad over the breakup, right?"

Coming soon: After the Villainess Sees the Novel's Comment Feed

Blurb: Xie Xianshuang was born late to a wealthy family. Before she was born, her parents had already adopted a son to be their heir.

And once she came of age, she married Jiang Yuchuan, the son of another top-tier wealthy family, in a marriage alliance.

However, she listened to her friend's brainwashing.

"What kind of rich family would give the company to an adopted son and marry off their biological daughter?"

"That's blatant sexism."

Convinced her parents didn't love her and had married her off for their own gain, Xie Xianshuang cheated on her husband, the aloof and chaste scion of a powerful family, with a male model from a nightclub.

She handed her brother's business plan and core patent to their company's business rival.

After being tricked into selling all her shares to someone else, leaving the family on the brink of bankruptcy, Xie Xianshuang saw the novel's comment feed.

Only then did she realize she was living in a novel where Bai Ruoxi, bound to a System, was the heroine who would rise to success. Bai Ruoxi had been brainwashing her along with her friend all along, leading her to bring about her own downfall.

"Aaaaaah, the young lady is such an idiot! Your husband has had a crush on you for years, and he begged the Xie family for the chance to marry you. You grew up together! How is this some kind of business deal?!"

"He's chaste because he's shy! He's aloof because he's insecure!! Just kiss him and he'd give you his life."

"Damn, no wonder you're the villainess. You took a winning hand and played it into a complete disaster. Your parents couldn't have children, so they adopted Xie Furong, and he raised you from childhood! You're bullying your own brother? Are you brain-dead?!"

"You're the beneficiary on his insurance policies, and you think he's after your family's wealth?"

Xie Xianshuang, halfway through her latest scheme: "?"

She looked at Xie Furong, working overtime through the night to save the company, then at Jiang Yuchuan, sitting coldly on a nightclub sofa in a see-through outfit, flexing his abs to seduce her.

Maybe the comment feed had a point...

Premise: Not every fish has to swim toward the sea.
