Playing the Villain Is Addictive! [Infinite]

Blurb: Xia Tianqing transmigrates into an infinite-game novel and proudly takes up a villain role, only for the treacherous transmigration System to abandon her and run off. She has to follow the rules and become the vicious villain who trips up the male and female leads as they clear their rounds and gets in the way when they fall in love. Only by making the players feel negative emotions toward her can she collect “villain points” and earn a chance to exchange them for survival items. Xia Tianqing smiles faintly. “Things are getting interesting.” She enters a scenario. In the cold, gloomy wilderness, graves stretch as far as the eye can see. The male and female leads cling to each other, nervously encouraging one another as they cautiously survey their surroundings under the pressure of the resentment. Xia Tianqing sweeps past them like a gust of wind, rushes to the mound with the strongest aura of evil, and flips open the boss's grave with a single shovel. In an instant, a piercing shriek rings out across the heavens and earth. The male lead's heart races: Thrill +100 The female lead is terrified: Fear +100 Both of them have a mental breakdown: Panic +100 … [You have redeemed an item: Terror Chainsaw] …The boss wails in terror at the chainsaw roaring right in its face. … [Congratulations on clearing the round! Xia Tianqing has earned the MVP achievement and set a new record for the fastest clear.] * Much later, the transmigration System remembers Xia Tianqing, whom it left behind, and comes back to check on her. It finds the protagonists following right behind Xia Tianqing, quarreling over who gets to join her in causing trouble. When Xia Tianqing chops up a boss, the female lead hands her a weapon; when Xia Tianqing jumps a wall, the male lead holds her rope. Their affection meters are fluctuating like a roller coaster. System: What the hell is going on?! The script the System gave Xia Tianqing: seduce the male lead, sow discord between him and the female lead, deliberately hold them back during the rounds, and act as a villainous pawn who barely survives on the protagonists' disdain. Xia Tianqing's freewheeling approach: flip the table, and nobody gets to run! Get hyped and follow my lead. Clear the scenarios with the boss staring you down, and don't miss a single reward for completing the character's role! Female lead: “Who has time for romance? Qing God hates lovesick fools getting in the way of clearing rounds, grinding scenarios, and claiming rewards!” Male lead: “Just keeping up with Qing God's pace takes all I've got. Focus!” System: Don't you know you've become her score-farming tools?! PS: The romance takes up very little of the story. Coming soon: You're a Pig, and She Can Still Make You Famous.

Every artist she signs is gorgeous and talented, but no matter how much money and resources she pours in, she just can't make them famous. Then she goes up a mountain to pray to the gods and buddhas, slips, and falls off a cliff. As she loses consciousness, she finally realizes the truth. As it turns out, the fortunes of the entertainment industry have been monopolized by all kinds of reborn female leads with golden fingers, transmigrated true heiresses, people bound to Systems… When gods fight, what chance do the little demons under her command have of getting ahead? Lin Bujui: “Fine, fine. So that's how we're playing it? You chosen ones, just you wait!” * Miao Lingyin is reborn and vows to become a movie queen famous across half the country. Following the memories of her past life, she films a low-budget hit web drama. Just as her comeback gets off to a promising start, she discovers that Lin Entertainment has invested heavily in every drama she's approached. Lin Bujui sits before her with a smile, like a project investor. “I don't mean anything by it. I just believe in your potential. We're upgrading the project, you're still the lead, and my company's artists will support you. Looking forward to working together.” Miao Lingyin looks at Lin Bujui, deeply moved. At last, she's met a true talent scout in this life! After that, Miao Lingyin's dramas become hits one after another, and all of Lin Entertainment's artists make it big. * The true heiress Wen Wanyue, branded a homewrecker, awakens one day and vows to stop crawling after her wealthy fiance. She is going to appear on the same variety show as the fake heiress, ready to reveal the truth publicly and cut ties with all those people. On the eve of filming, Lin Bujui suddenly shows up with a handsome boy band and speaks righteously. “I found out about your situation by chance and it made me furious. Don't worry. My artists will do everything they can to back you up.” During filming, several members of the boy band expose the fake heiress's manipulative sweet talk, mock the wealthy fiance for being greasy and full of himself, and call out the hurt caused by her parents' favoritism… In the end, the show becomes more popular than ever. The whole internet feels for Wen Wanyue, and the boy band members are hailed as the best mouthpieces and the ultimate support team. * Qin Nanzhen is bound to a System and has to win over the actor she married under a contract. But they are practically strangers, and they've already signed up for a divorce reality show… Qin Nanzhen can only grit her teeth and go through with it. Lin Bujui rounds up capable but underexposed actors from her company and takes them to sit in the guest observation room. They have one goal: ship this couple! Ship them as hard as they can! So, while everyone else decides the pair have no love for each other, Lin Bujui and her artists stubbornly unearth signs of affection. They read restrained longing in a glance, insincere denial in a cold remark, and uncontrolled panic in a simple turn away… The whole internet: ??? Encouraged by all this, only Qin Nanzhen grows more confident, and she and the actor become sweeter and sweeter. As netizens come around, they can't help marveling at Lin Bujui and her artists' sharp eyes and understanding of human nature. Even the actor admits, “It's amazing. They picked up on feelings I hadn't even realized I had.” * Later, the chosen ones who were reborn, transmigrated into books, or bound to Systems all end their contracts with major companies and voluntarily join Lin Entertainment. They say, “No one in this world understands me like President Lin!” People in the industry watch as Lin Bujui's artists become hits in every way imaginable, and Lin Entertainment flourishes. They can't help wondering: could she make even a pig famous? Theme: Take your fate into your own hands.
