#The Path to Godhood Begins When a Top-Tier Star Stops Giving In#
Shen Jiao was an excellent actress. But as a top-tier star, she always managed to stir up a storm.
At a press conference for her new drama, a fake-sweet actress mocked her, and Shen Jiao couldn't help rolling her eyes. She was ripped to shreds online: "LOL, she really thinks she's a good actress? The second female lead still outshines her."
Shen Jiao put up with it.
At a film press conference, an old, sleazy director made a pointed remark about her. Shen Jiao smiled politely, but still got thousands of hate comments. Meanwhile, as their drama aired, the male lead, a star on the verge of a breakout, tried every trick to promote a ship with her.
She kept her cool, and his fans tore into her.
She clarified that they weren't dating, and the ship's fans called her a fake prude and told her to get out of showbiz.
Shen Jiao: "...What do I have to do for you people to leave me alone?"
Answer me! Look my eyes! Tell me why? Why? Baby, why?

After unexpectedly being reborn, top-tier star Shen Jiao decided she'd had enough. This time, she was returning to reclaim everything that belonged to her.
A fake-sweet actress deliberately framed her? This time, she'd not only roll her eyes, she'd tell her to her face, "Worry about yourself."
A flop variety show? Ridiculous guests? She only had to make a small effort to infuriate the absurd prince's mother until she practically blasted off.
A boy band idol failed to ride her coattails, then played the victim to win over his fans. His diehard fans accused her of throwing herself at him. She smiled and replied, "You're not popular, but you sure do love riding coattails."
Someone spread rumors that she was transgender and had even given birth. Shen Jiao boldly posted: "Well, since I've already had a baby, nobody can object if I date ten people, right?"
"Don't come barking your macho nonsense at me, old man."
"And you, my agency, you'd better behave. Putting on airs now? I haven't even gotten around to settling the score with you."
"So what if I'm a nepo baby? He loves spending money on me. Why doesn't he spend any on you?"
But no one expected that after Shen Jiao went off the rails, she wouldn't become a has-been. Instead, she began her path to becoming a god-tier top-tier star.
Every historical romance she starred in became a hit, and every major platform saw her as a ratings powerhouse. A flop variety show she appeared on became the year's top-rated program, and variety shows fought over her, while viewers begged her to appear again. She acted in a movie and took down a cancer in the film industry, leading the whole cast to win several international awards...
Later, a reporter asked how she'd made it to where she was today as a top-tier star. She replied:
Because Shen Jiao was determined to be a crazy woman.

Pei Yinghuai and Shen Jiao's ill-fated relationship began in elementary school.
After she stole his first kiss, Pei Yinghuai insisted she take responsibility.
Their everyday conversations went like this: [Pei Yinghuai: What are we to each other now?]
[Shen Jiao: Kiss buddies.]
[Pei Yinghuai: You have to take responsibility.]
[Shen Jiao: TD]
Proud, flirtatious top-tier star vs. sharp-tongued, refined rich heir
(A super satisfying, female-led career story. The heroine may be crazy, but she's clever. There is a male lead and romance. Entirely fictional, please don't associate it with real people.)
Pre-release: I Use a Dream System to Raise Top-Tier Stars
Li Jiahe, a gold-medal talent manager.
After transmigrating, she became an intern agent for a top-tier male star. Not only was her pay low, she also had to endure fans threatening her: [You're so bad at your job. How do you have the nerve to take a salary?]
Li Jiahe, who earned 3,000 yuan a month and even had to buy coffee for him: "...Come on, you take this crappy job."
Even more absurdly, the top-tier star looked decent enough, but tried to sexually exploit her in exchange for a 1,000-yuan raise... Li Jiahe smiled, splashed coffee in his face in front of a crowd, and hit the top of the trending searches that very night, making her debut on the spot.
His fans shouted that any company that hired her would get daily complaints and demands for invoices.
But they didn't know that Li Jiahe had bonded with the "Showbiz Godhood System" and inherited the nearly bankrupt XX Entertainment that very night.
Mission objective: reform the 2.08 million people in showbiz.
Golden finger: Build virtual dreams and bring people into them for co-op runs.
Mission targets: A. A flop boy band that took boy-band culture to the extreme. B. A little-known actress who only wanted to fall in love. C. An idol who acted like a huge star. D. A former movie emperor who was full of macho nonsense but had already fallen from fame.
Choose your hero!
Faced with these "classic personalities" and "difficult cases," Li Jiahe chose without hesitation: all in.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled. "If we're playing, let's go big."
The System: Host, you're amazing!!!

The flop boy band, once known for their boy-band antics, was pulled into a dream by her for group training. After going through all kinds of scenarios, including surviving on a deserted island and the apocalypse, they finally developed a brotherly bond strong enough to move heaven and earth. They'd even share a pair of pants.
The little-known actress, who had no interest in her career, was sent into a dream too. She went from romances spanning several lifetimes to conflicts between her and her in-laws after marriage... Her youthful romantic fantasies were thoroughly crushed, and she cried that she never wanted to fall in love again.
The female idol who acted like a big star was also dragged into a dream, where she spent three months doing farmwork and learned what respect meant.
At first, when Li Jiahe joined XX Entertainment and hit the trending searches, top-tier star fans mocked her mercilessly:
[Li Jiahe and the losers at XX Entertainment are a match made in heaven. You have my support.]
[Hahahaha, XX Entertainment was already about to go bankrupt, and now it'll go bankrupt even faster.]
But under Li Jiahe's leadership, the artists at XX Entertainment transformed completely.
The flop boy band, once bad at their jobs and full of internal rivalries, suddenly became united and took the internet by storm with their talent. New fans: This is what group spirit is! I'm going to support them for life. Old fans: ??? Is this really our fake-brotherhood boy band?
The little-known actress, once criticized for not caring about her career, seemed to suddenly wake up. She took on role after role and acted so well that she won Best Actress at the year's TV awards.
The female idol, once arrogant and annoying, suddenly changed her ways and proved herself a natural on a farming variety show. Onlookers: ??? Who knew you were actually such an honest kid?
At first, everyone only wanted to watch the fun. But the more they watched, the more excited they got. They were fired up! These talented artists all came from the same company.
And every one of the artists thanked Li Jiahe, saying she'd given their careers a new lease on life.
Netizens: ??? Wait, Sister He, can you become my favorite's agent?
*
The whole entertainment industry wanted to become Li Jiahe's student, even the top-tier star who had tried to exploit her.
On set, the top-tier star, who had been all smiles but treated people according to their status, was now utterly respectful, ingratiatingly asking her for advice. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, still as arrogant as ever, and splashed coffee in his face again.
The top-tier star released countless malicious press releases about her.
But this time, the whole internet said: [LOL, you're so mad you're crying.]
