Office worker Qian Chu transmigrates into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder female CEO in an entertainment-industry novel.
When she wakes up after transmigrating into the book, she discovers she's still swaddled in a blanket. Unable to control her hunger, she tries to grab the baby bottle.
In the future, she'll become the richest person in the country and provide the male lead with the funds he needs to rise to power.
This is how the book describes that CEO:
[She's the richest person in the capital. Her outfits may look ordinary every day, but each one is the result of three hours of hard work by the country's top stylists and designers. Everything she's wearing is worth at least a million.]
Qian Chu looks at the modest bedroom around her, silently shedding two streams of noodle-like tears.
What upsets her isn't that she's become cannon fodder. It's the realization that, for the plot to proceed as written, she has to start learning how to be a CEO from childhood.
She never imagined that the CEO in the book had risen from a second-rate family to become the richest person in the country. Even after transmigrating into the book, she can't escape the cutthroat competition of the industry.
So what if she's a CEO? In the end, she's still just a stepping stone for the male and female leads.
But to survive, she has to rise to the top and become the richest person in the country!
There's a rumor in the capital's upper circles: marry the Qian family's youngest daughter, and you'll save yourself decades of hard work.
At a banquet, someone asks, "Why not the eldest daughter?"
The reply: "Chairwoman Qian? That wouldn't be marriage. You'd be marrying into her family."
The person: ?
Qian Chu, eldest daughter of the Qian family, became the woman at the helm of the Qianlin Group, making it the capital's leading company in its field by the time she was twenty-three. She's also known as the most cutthroat competitor among CEOs, working eighteen hours a day with a soul that burns with the spirit of work.
The CEOs driven to the brink of baldness: We don't want to compete this hard. We can't afford to mess with her!
At twenty-five, Qian Chu achieves her goal and, just as the book dictates, helps the male lead grow stronger step by step by acting as his stepping stone.
Everything unfolds as she expected, but why...
Who the hell can tell her who this man lying beside her is?
Qian Chu is on the verge of tears: Male lead, did you wander onto the wrong set?
