Blurb:

Wei Jiao Jiao, little princess of the shark clan, transmigrates into a background cannon-fodder character in an entertainment-industry novel.

As a cold stepmother with a terrible relationship with her stepson and stepdaughter, she becomes the "wicked stepmother" hated by the entire internet on a variety show. She is exposed for abusing her stepchildren, their father takes revenge on her, and she ends up begging for food and dying far from home.

Wei Jiao Jiao: ???

I'm only sixty-two! I've only just reached adulthood! Why am I supposed to be a human child's mother? Where's the justice? That little boy is clearly older than me. He should be the one looking after me!

She kindly tries to make peace with the human children, but during an interview with the production crew, the older child plays a cruel prank on her. The more she thinks about it, the more upset she gets. Missing her loving parents, Wei Jiao Jiao wipes her tears and clenches her fist. She refuses to take care of that brat! Their feud is now permanent!

Strangely, the more their "feud" deepens, the more the brat clings to her. He complains that his father is too busy and gives Jiao Jiao nothing but money. He even takes the initiative to find her a handsome, gentle, wealthy man and do his best to set them up. Every day, he hopes she and his father will divorce so he can live happily with Wei Jiao Jiao...

The infamous little starlet Wei Jiao Jiao, who married into a rich family as a stepmother, is taking her stepson and stepdaughter on a parent-child variety show!

Her haters are eagerly waiting. Can Wei Jiao Jiao even look after children? She's obviously the wicked stepmother herself! Even if she treats the kids well, it's all an act!

The other mothers and children get along wonderfully. Even when their children are unruly, the mothers are gentle and virtuous, teaching them well in perfect harmony.

But when it comes to Wei Jiao Jiao...

Why does it feel like the children are looking after Wei Jiao Jiao instead of the other way around?

At bedtime, the other mothers gently sing lullabies and take turns reading stories in Chinese and English.

Wei Jiao Jiao calmly squeezes between her stepson and stepdaughter, claiming the safest, comfiest spot on the big bed. "Big brother's the oldest. He can get us to sleep."

When the children draw a punishment of having their palms smacked after failing a challenge, some mothers' eyes turn red. They would rather take extra punishment themselves than see their babies suffer.

But on Wei Jiao Jiao's side... The big brother fights back tears without making a sound, and his little sister softly sniffles because it hurts. Their stepmother, Wei Jiao Jiao, bursts into tears louder than anyone. The siblings are so startled that they wipe their own eyes and hug her, patting her back. "It's okay, Mommy. Don't cry. We'll definitely win the next competition."

But when the production crew holds a treasure hunt, the siblings envy the other children for finding so many treasures while they have nothing.

Wei Jiao Jiao dives into the sea and brings them glittering gems hidden in the coral as gifts!

The other children are incredibly jealous. They have beautiful gems, and their mom is as beautiful as a mermaid!

Wei Jiao Jiao solemnly shakes her head, deliberately showing her fangs to look fierce. "I'm not a mermaid. I'm a little shark!"

The children see Wei Jiao Jiao flash her little canines and pretend to be scary. They're not frightened at all. Mommy Jiao Jiao is just too cute!

After the show ends, Wei Jiao Jiao becomes a favorite with all the children. The guests praise her, the production crew promotes her, and online viewers adore her. Even parenting experts analyze her childcare skills as a model for parents.

Wei Jiao Jiao and her two children become famous across the internet!

Later, the rich old man who was supposed to grind her bones to dust after returning turns out not to be old at all. In fact, he looks exactly like the man of her dreams. He gives her more and more presents, comes home more and more often, and looks at her in increasingly strange ways...

Coming Soon: The Top-Tier Star's Sickly Beauty of a Big Sister Is Sassy and Dazzling

Wei Zhao Zhao unexpectedly ends up in a post-apocalyptic world because of her delicate health. After clearing it at the highest difficulty, she returns to her original world, expecting to resume her idle life as a sickly beauty in a wealthy family. But then she learns the plot of the original book.

Her scandal-plagued top-tier star younger brother is about to become the contrast character on a family variety show. His arrogance and vicious behavior will turn the entire internet against him, and he will die in an accident while filming.

On the same day, she will be beaten to death by her brother's haters, leaving the Wei family in ruins.

Wei Zhao Zhao: ?

She looks at her well-behaved younger brother at home, who acts like a menace outside, and smiles faintly. Who says I can't keep lying flat?

Before the show airs, rumors abound:

[Wei Ran has never mentioned having a sister. They must have a terrible relationship! Can't wait for the disaster!]

[Wasn't his partner supposed to be his former teammate? How did it become his sister?]

[He shoved his former teammate aside just to make money. Who's backing Wei Ran? Disgusting!]

[Wei Ran had plastic surgery. His sister must be ugly as sin. Can't wait to see her exposed!]

On the first day of filming,

The 187-centimeter-tall Wei Ran is wearing a yellow duck costume, with a cute 155-centimeter girl at his side in a Lolita outfit. She smiles sweetly, though her sickly pallor is hard to miss.

Online viewers: Wei Ran's new assistant is so precious, I can't take it!

The little assistant furrows her brow and coughs softly.

The next second, Wei Ran turns around, drapes a jacket that came from who knows where over her shoulders, and calls out, "Sis."

Online viewers: You call that ugly? She's a goddess descended from heaven, and I'm already calling her my wife!

Inside a run-down cave dwelling,

Wei Ran lies on the bed with a sour look, legs crossed. "What a dump. If you expect me to clean it, no way in hell am I going to..."

Before he can finish, he catches sight of Wei Zhao Zhao clutching her chest, her lips pale.

He springs up and changes his tune in a second. He wipes the table, mops the floor, lights a fire, and cooks. "Sis, you must be exhausted from walking. Go lie down. I'll take care of everything."

Online viewers: Is this really the most arrogant young prince in the entertainment industry, the one who looks down on everyone?

On the variety show, the original male lead's sister is gentle and virtuous, and the siblings adore each other. Wei Zhao Zhao takes advantage of her sickly beauty persona to make trouble, complaining that the sun is too bright and the bed is too hard, making Wei Ran's life miserable.

Wei Ran grits his teeth and declares: The world can wait. My sister comes first. How could I let her suffer? I'll do it all! I'll spoil my own sister!

#JustHowMuchBrotherlyDevotionCanWeiRanShow#

Online viewers laugh: The wicked get what they deserve when they meet a troublemaker!

Until, in a later episode, the cozy variety show turns into a survival show. The guests complain endlessly, Wei Ran is at a loss, and his eyes turn red...

Wei Zhao Zhao, who loves lying flat, is too weak to care for herself, and is a troublesome sickly beauty, puts away her handkerchief. "Step aside. Big Sis will have to carry you now."

The sickly beauty Wei Zhao Zhao lifts two giant cauldrons by herself, faces a giant python without flinching, and can do everything from digging up vegetables on the mountain and catching fish underwater to building houses, repairing roads, and scaling walls.

The guests all become her devoted fans. Every day, they make heartfelt wishes at the camera: Please, production crew, put me on a team with Sister Zhao Zhao!

#HowMuchDidZhaoZhaoDoToTrainHerLittleBrother#

#WithWeiZhaoZhaoAsHisBigSisterWeiRanWinsByDoingNothing#

After the difficulties pass and the crisis is over, the big shot Wei Zhao Zhao resumes clutching her head and staggering as though nothing happened.

Wei Ran looks at his sister, who still hasn't had her fill of playing the part, and is caught off guard when someone else gets to her first.

The other guests crowd around Wei Zhao Zhao, fussing over her and asking after her health.

Wei Ran: ???

You men and women, all of you, get away from my sister! I'm the only one allowed to fuss over her!

One day, Fu Zhiyu, head of one of the most powerful families, posts a marriage certificate on Weibo: @Wei Zhao Zhao, my wife.

Wei Ran is devastated: Sis, please don't leave me! QAQ

The hearts of millions of young men and women shatter: Fu Zhiyu, my lifelong enemy! Give my wife back!

1. The blurb may change, but the core premise will stay the same.

Refuse to Join the Rat Race, Sleep and Cultivate Immortality

Overworked office worker Xie Qing Yu works overtime every day and dies from sleep deprivation. She transmigrates into a female supporting character in a cultivation novel.

Because of her excellent spiritual roots, she is accepted into a sect and cultivates day and night, barely ever closing her eyes. Her jealousy of the heroine leads her to fall into demonic cultivation, making her the enemy of the cultivation world. The man she loves kills her with a single sword stroke, destroying her soul completely.

Xie Qing Yu's only concern: Cultivating day and night? Barely ever sleeping? I transmigrated into a book and still have to work overtime without getting any sleep? I don't care about love or hate. I'm going to sleep until the end of time!

She loves sleeping so much that she misses the sect's selection process. A sleep tree sprouts in her spiritual domain, and as long as she gets enough sleep, she can break through to the next cultivation realm.

Xie Qing Yu: How can something this wonderful exist? This golden finger was made just for me!

By a twist of fate, she is forced to join another sect. While everyone else competes fiercely, cultivates themselves to exhaustion, gets manipulated into working 996 schedules, treats 007 as the highest ambition, or goes alone to secluded cultivation in a minor world, only Xie Qing Yu tries her hardest to sleep in every possible way. Every day, she burns incense and prays to be expelled from the sect.

As she sleeps, she accidentally becomes one of the cultivation world's rising talents.

As she sleeps, she accidentally solves an ancient, incomplete formation and obtains the legacy of an ancient master.

As she sleeps, she accidentally defeats the overpowered male lead and becomes the heroine's idol.

Later, Xie Qing Yu becomes a legend throughout the cultivation world.

A group of cultivation reporters finally manages to push its way into the mountain gate, only to see the famed Immortal Venerable Yu Huai hanging a sign outside Immortal Venerable Qing Yu's cave abode: Sleeping. Do Not Disturb.

The next moment, he turns around and walks into Immortal Venerable Qing Yu's cave abode.

The cultivators: ???
