[This Novel’s Blurb] This is a long novel, so please don’t buy the entire series without looking first.

When Jian Zhi transmigrated into a book, the novel had already reached its ending.

In the original story, the male lead and the real heiress get engaged, and everyone lives happily ever after. As the fake heiress who did every kind of wicked thing, Jian Zhi is promptly thrown out.

She’s also saddled with a talent agency on the brink of bankruptcy. Its top-tier star has already jumped ship, leaving behind only one obscure celebrity plagued by bad press.

System: You’ll be rewarded for losing money. Feel free to slack off. The more you lose, the more you’ll get.

Jian Zhi: Then let’s set a modest goal: lose a hundred million.

1.

Jian Zhi wants to disband her agency’s fan clubs and refuses all kinds of fan support. People mock her for going crazy.

Has she gotten too big for her boots? Who does she think her stars are, top-tier stars? Without fans, they’re nothing.

Then comes the first month of having “no fans.”

An album with tens of millions in investment is in the works, a variety show made in partnership with an official organization goes on air, and a luxury brand endorsement is secured.

Netizens: So this is what an obscure celebrity is supposed to be?

Then comes the first year of having “no fans.”

The moment the intro plays, they’re taking home the Starshine Award.

Jian Zhi’s artists sweep the major awards by an overwhelming margin, taking home every top prize that year.

The first thing each one says onstage is: “Thank you, Boss Jian, for believing in me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.”

Netizens: Is Starshine a factory for producing top-tier stars?

Fans who don’t have to crunch numbers or vote in fan campaigns, and can casually support top-tier stars who never get canceled, are loving it too.

#Repost this, Boss Jian and Starshine will let you stan from the comfort of your chair! Earn a hundred thousand a day!#

Later, word spreads around the industry that anyone Jian Zhi takes a liking to can become a top-tier star, no matter their qualifications.

All the artists are itching to get her attention. Boss Jian, look at me!

Jian Zhi is near tears: How are they getting famous from this?

#A golden finger that turns everything to gold#

2.

Worried that being a fake heiress might be a sensitive issue, Jian Zhi keeps her secret identity under wraps the entire time.

A certain big shot: You should learn from Starshine’s Boss Jian and become independent. A woman as calm and strong-willed as her is worlds apart from you, even though you share the same name!

Jian Zhi nods vigorously: Right, right, exactly!

Later...

“Hello, I’d like to make an appointment. I need to see Boss Jian.”

“Certainly. The earliest available appointment is in a month. Would you still like to book one?”

#There’s no way my secret identity will be exposed!#

3.

According to an undercover source, Jian Zhi often searches online: What field is the fastest way to lose money in?

Her secretary says: You don’t understand. Boss Jian is using a strategic retreat to advance.

Jian Zhi: Is it possible I just want to retreat?

#Why is it so hard to lose money?#

Please note:

1. The heroine is adored throughout, with an outrageously powerful golden finger and plenty of spotlight. She isn’t a perfect character, so readers who expect perfection from the heroine should steer clear. All the supporting characters wildly overinterpret everything. The original male and female leads aren’t vilified, but they have very, very little page time.

2. This is a somewhat ensemble-focused story. The supporting cast gets plenty of page time, and everyone grows. Almost every character has their own story and career arc.

3. A feel-good career story, focused on work from beginning to end, with no day-to-day scenes of eating and drinking.

4. Almost no romance. The male lead has lower status and fewer accomplishments than the heroine, and he’s very obedient and well-behaved.

5. A formulaic, simple-minded story written purely for the fun of it.

6. The premise was inspired by the movie Hello Mr. Billionaire. Please don’t read if that bothers you.

[Coming Soon] The Whole Family Are Villains, but I Farm (The 1970s)

Before she transmigrated, Shen Xi was an agricultural science graduate student who spent all day working in the fields. Her only daily concern was whether the chicken belonging to the senior student next door had eaten her “dissertation.”

After transmigrating, she gets a famously pretty-boy father, a penny-pinching mother, a brother who’s a born criminal-in-the-making, and herself, a broken soul.

Most importantly... Who transmigrates with an experimental farm plot?

From then on, Shen Xi leads a “wonderful” life, talking her family out of going down the wrong path by day and diligently working the fields at night.

Even the production brigade’s oxen don’t work this hard!

Fortunately, as she keeps farming, her pretty-boy father gets into a prestigious university, her penny-pinching mother becomes a famous entrepreneur, and her “criminal” brother racks up patents left and right.

Looking at her vast experimental fields, Shen Xi calmly pulls out seedless pomegranates, seedless mangoes, and more...

Later, Shen Xi represents the national agriculture department on an overseas exchange visit.

Reporter: “Professor Shen, what do you think made you so successful?”

Shen Xi’s mouth twitches. “I’m grateful to my family.”

Theme: Strive forward and make your dreams come true.
