Hao Xia, a spy from the Great Liang Kingdom, arrives in a completely unfamiliar era.

The moment she opens her eyes, a camera is practically shoved in her face, its glare almost blinding.

After briefly examining the unfamiliar memories in her mind, Hao Xia, who had been diligent and devoted to gathering intelligence for her country in her previous life, can't help but wonder: What's so fun about showbiz?

But out of consideration for the original soul's obsession with finishing her undercover mission before she disappeared, Hao Xia decides to take over the show she's about to appear on.

But what happens next leaves the netizens, who were ready to mock her as usual, stunned.

Hao Xia, an infamous has-been actress who had never been much more than a C-lister, seems like a completely different person on the dating show.

She's stopped trying to piggyback on anyone and grab attention, and instead becomes increasingly charming, refined, and considerate.

Just look at how the male contestants on the show are becoming more and more infatuated with her. It's obvious how drastically she's changed.

Netizens: Whoa, she's kind of appealing! I'm not sure yet, let me keep watching...

Drawing on her professional instincts, Hao Xia turns everyone's opinion around on the dating show.

She restores the reputation the original owner had dragged through the mud, and earns herself the title of “the internet's ideal girlfriend.”

After the show ends, Hao Xia plans to wash her hands of everything and enjoy this hard-won second life.

But as she watches her follower count soar and sees fans online begging her to come back, Hao Xia, who had once been afraid even to reveal her own name, feels a strange stirring in her heart.

To live another life openly, to tell the whole world her name, to have the whole world gather around her: these were things she never dared dream of before.

Since she's been handed such a wonderful opportunity, staying in this cesspool of a showbiz industry doesn't seem like such a hardship after all.

Besides, the original owner's obsession with her “day job” is practically second nature to her, isn't it?

So, on a survival variety show,

a male star who's been working out and building muscle, ready to claim first place,

turns around and sees a certain actress, just hailed as “the internet's ideal girlfriend,”

running up walls, leaping across rooftops, darting about like a rabbit, springing all over the place...

On a film set,

veteran actors sneer at Hao Xia, who has just been promoted to “variety-show regular.”

Then, the instant she steps in front of the camera, they see her transform completely.

Every frown and smile makes her seem as if she's stepped straight out of the script.

From then on, the entertainment industry sees more and more jaw-dropping examples of Hao Xia's antics!

And the trending topics across the internet gradually change from
