["A Little Police Officer, but Her Parents Have Cheat Codes [1990s]" is currently serializing. Rolling around and begging you to add it to your collection!]
Tan Ning, a socialist office drone, transmigrated into a book and became a cannon-fodder supporting actress in a showbiz romance novel.
She was in the same girl group as the novel's heroine, Meng Ru. Tan Ning was stunningly beautiful, but with no brains and a personality that rubbed people the wrong way. Meng Ru soared to stardom, while Tan Ning went from a nobody to being hated by the entire internet.
Decision made: cut her losses in time and return to her old career.
Dance practice? No, she'd rather read.
Promotional performances? No, she'd rather do practice problems.
Commercial appearances? No, she'd rather get certified.
Drinking with clients? Ever heard of being a beacon of righteousness?! (leans back strategically)
Later...
Passerby: Holy crap, a member of that girl group that's been getting a bit of attention lately has her name on S City's provincial civil service exam list! Same name and surname? That position is insanely hard to get!
Hater: Tan Ning has a law qualification and a CPA? She must have bought them! She's joining the procuratorate or public security? An investigation will dig up a ton of dirt on her!
Bloodsucking agent: Quit the industry? Ha, you think you can just leave? How about a massive breach-of-contract fee... What, civil servants are exempt from paying it once they pass the exam?
Miserly boss: Get lost. You're useless if you won't do as you're told... Wait, you're going to be a prosecutor? Sister Tan, my dear ancestor, don't investigate me!
Later still...
Passerby: That new guest on the detective variety show looks familiar. Is it TN? I heard she's the one who got that guy sent to prison. She was also named one of the country's top young talents. Amazing!
Hater: Don't use abbreviations, you idiots! The annual gala in a few days will expose the truth. Tan Ning's fans are claiming she's the final award presenter. Hilarious!
The gala is livestreamed nationwide...
"I've been watching the livestream and haven't seen Tan Ning. Is she upstairs? That person tucked away in the corner is Meng Ru, right? Showbiz really is bottom-tier at events like this."
"Quit pretending to be a passerby and dragging us down with you. Your idol is a nobody. Our Mengmeng has a seat, so she's practically on the throne. And upstairs? Do you even know who's seated up there?"
The camera turns by chance...
On the second floor, behind gleaming floor-to-ceiling windows, a tall man in a suit kneels on one knee, holding roses. The woman in front of him shows only most of her stunning profile, her long hair softly curled.
#The man behind Tan Ning
A malicious trending topic explodes.
In less than half an hour, the glamorous credentials of the man at the center of the trending topic shock the entire internet. The haters stare in stunned silence, waiting for a denial.
"It's false." After the event, the handsome young criminal psychology scholar faces the cameras, his expression calm. "After all, Miss Tan hasn't accepted my proposal yet."

Upcoming story: "A Little Police Officer, but Her Parents Have Cheat Codes [1990s]"
I, Ji Yinhe, am an ordinary police academy student.
My dream is to become a policewoman who strikes fear into the hearts of every criminal in the turbulent 1990s.
I never expected public safety in my city to be so good that the chief read the newspaper, the captain drank tea, and my colleagues busied themselves gossiping.
Meanwhile, I was pulled into an office and assigned administrative work.
...? What happened to the criminal investigation unit?!
That night, I went home with my shattered dreams.
By chance, I overheard whispers in my parents' bedroom...
Dad: How about I report that drug-dealing rich second-generation villain from a certain web novel?
Mom: Oh, right! In that Green River period novel, the true and fake heiresses were switched at birth. That counts as human trafficking, right?!
Dad: Hmm, the serial dismemberment case in the provincial capital ten years ago...
Mom: Let her take my smartphone, too. It's better than a pager, and she can use it to hit people!
Dad: Would there even be a signal these days? ...Wait! A five-folding phone! You've been hiding it from me all these years!
Me: ?
What is a certain web novel's overpowered hero?
And what is a Green River period novel?
What's a smartphone? What's a five-folding phone?

I've thought since childhood that my parents were different from everyone else's.
My dad was a low-ranking local official, idle and lazy, yet always blessed with flashes of inspiration and one stroke of good luck after another.
My mom sold snacks at a street stall. She was vain and short-tempered, but her cooking was so good that all the neighbors admitted defeat.
Administrative work was too boring, so I decided to accept the generous gifts my parents offered.
I was lucky, and soon my work was in full swing. I rose through the ranks to become a police officer with two bars and three stars.
Our family stayed in our little courtyard house. Smoke curled from the chimney, and our days grew better and better.
But when those cases began to come to light, I looked at my smug parents and wondered deeply...
Who exactly were they?

Ding~Business fluid blessing update is stress-free!
There is still half a year left, I hope I can successfully land!
Beautiful, but too short.

"After" is a big thorn in the side of the author~actually 3
Very interesting, I really like this kind of plot
Keep up the good work? It looks good. Not bad.
Looks good! Just a bit short
I'm so speechless. I keep saying that I'm quitting the industry. I have to live broadcast everything I do. Even the people in public institutions who are reporters don't have female protagonists.
It's over, scatter flowers, I hope we can all go ashore and find our own future
