After Giving Up, I Became a Career-Focused Star

Updated every other day.

Jiang Si plunged into the entertainment industry with a heart full of passion. After four years of working diligently, she had barely earned any money or fame, and then a misunderstanding got her condemned by the entire internet. Just then, she learned that her family home was being demolished for redevelopment!

With a year left on her contract, she decided to lie flat and wait for it to expire, then pack up and go home to inherit the family fortune.

Her agent, Sister Chen, told her that the boss had personally picked her to join the company's new trainees in a talent competition.

Jiang Si, who wanted nothing more than to get eliminated and go home to do nothing, kicked off a new era of variety shows in the entertainment industry.

At the auditions, while everyone else showed off their talents hoping to get picked by the judges, she performed the qigong routine Five-Animal Frolics and wished everyone good health.

While the others trained until they were starving, then wolfed down food at mealtimes, she only ate a few bites. Netizens accused her of putting on an act, when in reality she was secretly stuffing herself with self-heating hotpot until she could barely move.

While the others practiced in the dance studio until dawn, she went to bed early and got up early, full of energy.

She was clearly slacking off at every opportunity, but her fans were convinced she was racking her brains to get more screen time. They voted for her with all their might, nearly pushing her into the finals.

When she appeared in a TV drama, she gave up the third female lead role so she would have fewer lines to memorize, volunteering to play the fifth female lead, a villain. But her costume photos were so beautiful that she trended online, and her fans flooded the production with demands. Just like that, her role was expanded into the second female lead.

On a dating show, while everyone else tried hard to win each other's affection, she took the stage and played a wooden fish, nearly sending the male guests running.

Her fans went wild, and Jiang Si's career ambition instantly became a trending topic.

Jiang Si felt she had been trying her best to slack off every time, hoping to wrap up filming early and go home. But the way things kept unfolding left her baffled.

She was getting more and more famous, and her workload kept growing!
