A powerful master of metaphysics transmigrates into a book, landing in a dark entertainment-industry novel as Chu Yujin, an overworked entertainment-industry lackey who died from working overtime.
In the original novel, the entertainment industry was full of bullying, workplace abuse, and every kind of corruption. It was infuriating to read, yet the male and female leads still got their happy ending, completely ignoring the tragic supporting characters. It was the resentment of those supporting characters that led to Chu Yujin's transmigration.
The Transmigration System says: This transmigration mission is to reform the workplace and purify the entertainment industry. The benefits earned from these reforms will be converted into life points. Host, do your best to stay alive.
[Warning, warning: Less than one hour of life points remain. Begin reforming the workplace immediately!]
Chu Yujin: ????
When faced with being forced to work overtime:
Boss: “Chu Yujin, are you dead or not? If you're not dead, hurry over and work overtime. You dare stay away from the office on the weekend?”
Chu Yujin: “How much does weekend overtime pay?”
[Life points +1]
When faced with empty promises at work:
Boss: “Chu Yujin, you did a great job on this project. I'll mention it to my supervisor. Keep up the good work, and you'll be promoted before long.”
Chu Yujin: “No need. Pay me the equivalent in cash.”
[Life points +1]
When pressured to drink at a business dinner:
Boss: “If you don't drink this, you're looking down on me!”
Chu Yujin: “At least you know yourself.”
[Life points +1]
When faced with workplace harassment:
Boss: “A pretty girl like you needs a powerful backer to get ahead in the entertainment industry. You look good. How about me?”
Chu Yujin: “Your forehead looks dark. You're bound to have a bloody disaster.”
[Life points +1]
Chu Yujin, the sharp-tongued entertainment-industry worker, is quickly blacklisted by all the major companies. Industry big shots issue a threat: “Anyone who hires Chu Yujin will see their company go under!”
The metaphysics expert Chu Yujin isn't worried at all. She casually points to a minor actress who's been bullied to the brink of leaving the industry. [Hire me as your manager, and I'll make you famous across the entertainment industry in three months.]
The actress: ???
Three months later, the once-obscure actress becomes famous across the internet. Along with her, her manager, whose words seem to have magical power, becomes famous too.
Rumor has it that everything Chu Yujin says comes true, and everyone she takes down ends up unlucky. If you're reading a metaphysics novel just for fun, that's one thing, but for the real deal, you have to look to Master Yujin!
