Coming soon: My Black-and-Red Top-Tier Star Little Brother and I Become Famous on a Variety Show; After Leaving the Industry Under a Firestorm of Hate, I Become Famous Through Rental Income. Synopsis:

(I've already written 20,000 words. I'll post it all once it's finished. I won't abandon it.)

After Xu Ling dies in a car accident, she finds herself in an unfinished entertainment-industry novel and inherits a company called Meiju Entertainment.

She thought she could sit back and count her money, but it turns out that the company has singers, actors, producers, production supervisors, and agents, but none of them have a good ending. And that's not all: her own life points will be wiped out when the company goes bankrupt.

Because the author wrote the novel to vent.

Xu Ling: "Might as well wash my hands of it."

The System bound to her: "Wait! Dream Achievement Points can be exchanged for life points. If you can get these entertainers back on their feet, there are plenty of other rewards, too!"

Xu Ling: "I'm alive again!"

Before long, netizens discover that one outstanding idol after another is making their debut:

A new singer posts a video of herself singing and playing an instrument, moving viewers to tears. They dig through her old work, only to find that a singer with such a powerful voice used to be stuck singing songs for the Shamate scene?

A new actor appears in a xianxia drama. A clip of the male lead falling under a demonic influence leaves netizens heartbroken, so they look up the actor's past work. It turns out that an actor with such stunning looks and incredible skill used to play corpses, stand-ins, and extras with only one line.

A newcomer is brought back on a survival show. Her transformation performance gives everyone goosebumps, and they rush to dig into her past. It turns out that an idol with such a commanding stage presence barely gets any promotional articles, and always ranks last in the ratings.

Netizens: This is ridiculous!

Then they dig up the company behind them: Meiju Entertainment, once known for signing nothing but hopeless cases.

Netizens: This is even more ridiculous!

Before long, a hit piece titled "A Deep Dive into Just How Evil Meiju Entertainment's Boss, Xu Ling, Really Is" climbs the trending charts. Paid posters pile on, determined to ruin her reputation.

Soon, famous singers, actors, and idols all repost it:

"What? Is that true? Have we ever had our pay docked?"

"It sounds so convincing. Has Xu Ling ever made a move on me? I wish my boss would ask me out."

Netizens: "Sister Ling, would you consider making your own debut? We'll cheer you on!"

Xu Ling: "..." Get a grip. Isn't making good money better?

Coming soon: My Black-and-Red Top-Tier Star Little Brother and I Become Famous on a Variety Show. Synopsis:

Liu Xinyu was born into a distinguished family, is exceptionally well-read, and is the very picture of a winner in life.

Her younger brother, Liu Huaijue, is a top-tier star whom netizens both love and hate, thanks to his devastatingly handsome face and his attitude of picking fights with the whole world.

One day, she realizes that she and her brother are living inside a book, where he is a disposable foil character.

Because he goes on a variety show with his fake older sister, acts like a diva, and refuses to follow the script, her brother gets hated by the entire internet and his acting career plummets. Before long, he dies of depression.

Meanwhile, the siblings who are the protagonists are adored by netizens for their close and loving relationship, and rise to the top.

Thinking about the fate of her lively, energetic little brother, Liu Xinyu, who only wants to keep a low profile and focus on her career: ...

*

When top-tier young star Liu Huaijue announces that he'll be appearing on Dear Family with his older sister, the news sets the whole internet abuzz.

[I've never heard him mention having a sister. Where did they hire her from?]

[Liu Huaijue has a bad temper and always looks pissed. No need to see her, this sister's obviously a doormat who dotes on her brother.]

On the first day of filming, Liu Xinyu appears in a flowing white dress, as if she has descended from the heavens.

Liu Huaijue looks breathtaking in his suit, walking with his eyes straight ahead and a confident stride.

Liu Xinyu abruptly turns around and knocks her brother on the head. "I told you to watch where you're going. You stepped on my dress."

Liu Huaijue, who usually looks down his nose at everyone, doesn't say a word. He obediently bends down to lift his sister's hem.

Netizens look at their two nearly identical, breathtakingly beautiful faces: There's no way they're not real siblings.

During a day of vlog filming, the protagonist siblings yield to each other the whole time, getting along so harmoniously and politely that they seem more like roommates.

Seeing her brother still lazing in bed, Liu Xinyu doesn't say a word. She throws off his covers, pulls open the curtains, turns on the speakers, and starts playing music, all in one smooth motion.

Liu Huaijue tosses and turns, unable to sleep. A tuft of bedhead pops up as he sits up, and with an exasperated roar, he obediently goes to make breakfast.

Netizens: I've learned something. This is the right way to get your little brother out of bed.

Liu Huaijue's reputation turns around. Just when netizens think this is the most submissive he'll ever be, he keeps surprising them:

#During the rural-life challenge, Liu Huaijue swings a hoe and works hard in the fields while his sister relaxes under a tree, fanning herself.

#In the 108-questions challenge, Liu Huaijue, usually so high and mighty, looks at Liu Xinyu as she answers every question with ease and says, "I'll do whatever my sister says."

#During the wishing-well segment, he uses his precious wish on his sister: "I wish my sister would find a good partner soon."

A netizen's sharp comment: As long as he gets his sister married off, he can turn around the family pecking order.

#I thought you were my rival, but you want to be my brother-in-law#

#How do I deal with being the only idiot in a family of geniuses#

#I'm in charge of looking pretty, my sister's in charge of serving the country#

*

Who could have guessed that Liu Huaijue's wish would be so effective?

On an agricultural-support variety show, his rival Cheng Yunchi suddenly appears as a guest and keeps clinging to Liu Xinyu, a professor at an agricultural university, calling her "big sister" over and over.

Straightforward Liu Huaijue: "I'm warning you, stay away from my sister. She's got only one little brother, and that's me."

Cheng Yunchi: "That's fine. I'll work hard to become your brother-in-law."

Without a second thought, Liu Huaijue says, "No way. You're as dumb as me. You'll mess up our family's genes."

Netizens: Is this a case of hurting the enemy by eight hundred and yourself by a thousand?

#I thought you were my rival, but you want to be my brother-in-law#

#How do I deal with being the only idiot in a family of geniuses#

#I'm in charge of looking pretty, my sister's in charge of serving the country#

Coming soon: After Leaving the Industry Under a Firestorm of Hate, I Become Famous Through Rental Income. Please add it to your reading list. Synopsis:

Top investor Lu Zhirou wakes up in a book, where she has become a wealthy heiress with the exact same name.

The good news: She's the real heiress, and everything in the family belongs to her.

The bad news: The Lu family has gone bankrupt. She and her mother have only each other, and after spending all their fortune, all they have left are a few dozen buildings.

After this, the story has her continue to squander those buildings, anger her mother to death, bully the heroine, who built herself up from nothing, and then kill herself after the hero takes revenge...

Lu Zhirou: Are you stupid? Those are both good news.

A few dozen buildings aren't enough? Do they think I want to reach the heavens?

*

She chooses to leave the entertainment industry and avoid the original heroine, then sorts the few dozen buildings into categories and rents them all out.

It's just that her dad didn't have much of an eye for investments. Why are all these businesses so scattered and varied?

She rents a small house in an urban village to a homeless little boy she found by the roadside.

She rents a street-level shop at a low price to a nonprofit that rescues stray animals.

She rents a seaside villa to a group of obscure entertainers with dreams of becoming a boy band.

She rents a high-end office building to a failed entrepreneur with whom she feels an instant connection and mutual understanding.

She even rents out the loft in the apartment where she lives to a down-and-out poet.

She has plenty of property anyway. She can count these low-rent deals as doing good deeds!

*

She never expected that after leaving the industry, she'd become wildly famous and rich.

The little boy she picked up turns out to be the runaway son of the country's richest man, and, after she raises him, he becomes the top scorer in the college entrance exam. The richest man comes to thank her in person and gives her a blank check.

The obscure entertainer becomes a top-tier star overnight. They all leave their old agencies and call her Sister, declaring that they only want her as their manager.

The down-and-out poet turns out to be a literary giant who was experiencing life. Inspired by her, he writes a masterpiece that wins the Nobel Prize and openly calls her his muse...

The animal-welfare organization becomes a sensation, and she is named one of Huaguo's People of the Year, appearing on newspapers and TV again and again.

And the failed entrepreneur she rented to turns out to be the original heroine of the book, now a financial titan. She's going to ring the opening bell on Wall Street next week, and she's even listed Lu Zhirou as a founder in her investment prospectus...

When a reporter asks about it, Lu Zhirou says, "At first, I just wanted to give them a home. Who knew the entertainment industry was a whole world of its own?"

Theme: The world is vast. Work hard and strive forward.
