I Became a Simp and Shot to Fame in the Entertainment Industry

After transmigrating into a book, Wen Xiaoran became bound to a System. His mission was to play the role of a cannon-fodder simp. If he didn't simp, he'd die.

The System's missions required him to obey the scumbag to the letter, take a blade for him, coax him to sleep, give up his career for him, and willingly accept that the scumbag already loved someone else.

Wen Xiaoran had always been strong-willed and clever. He could accept playing a simp, but he couldn't accept living his whole life as one.

To regain his freedom as soon as possible, Wen Xiaoran risked taking on a side quest no one had ever completed.

The scumbag knew perfectly well that Wen Xiaoran couldn't dance, but insisted he take part in a talent show.

All so he could use Wen Xiaoran as a foil to his own beloved, making her look even more impressive.

Wen Xiaoran went "reluctantly," only to become an overnight sensation on the show with his singing and dancing skills, and make his debut as the center.

[System: Congratulations, Host. Your commercial value has increased by 3 million.]

The scumbag knew Wen Xiaoran was a coward, but still insisted he take part in a haunted house reality show.

All so he could humiliate Wen Xiaoran in front of the entire country and ruin his fame and popularity.

Wen Xiaoran went "terrified," only to win a huge wave of fans with his nerves of steel and exceptional logical thinking.

[System: Congratulations, Host. You've completed the task "A Fortune to Your Name." Reward: 1,000 Simp Points.]

The scumbag knew Wen Xiaoran didn't know the first thing about investment or financial management, but still sent him onto the country's most professional investment program, hoping to destroy his image as a wise man once and for all.

Wen Xiaoran went "with no other choice," only to become the program's biggest dark horse with his unique business instincts. He earned hundreds of millions in assets and successfully moved from being an actor into the ranks of the capitalists.

He did whatever the scumbag asked, making it look as if he was devoted to him.

Friends in the industry all tried to warn him: A simp gets nothing in the end. He doesn't care about you at all.

Then the scumbag made a grand public declaration of love to Wen Xiaoran through the media.

Wen Xiaoran tossed out, "A love that comes too late is cheaper than trash," and firmly rejected him, setting off an uproar online.

The scumbag had barely finished his heartfelt declaration when Qing Xiao, a financial tycoon, made a showy purchase of national media outlets to stage a grand declaration of love for Wen Xiaoran.

The whole internet exploded!

Qing Xiao was the protagonist of the book. Decisive in his actions and strict about keeping business and personal matters separate, he had become the head of the Qing business empire at just 22. No one else could hold a candle to him.

No one could imagine that such a favored child of heaven would ever pursue someone of his own accord, let alone make such a wild gesture.

Even less could anyone imagine that this cold-faced demon would show such a vulnerable, puppy-eyed expression when facing Wen Xiaoran.

Qing Xiao held a yellow tulip Wen Xiaoran had given him. He lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth twisting into a bitter smile.

"You'd rather be his simp than even look at me?"

Under his gaze, Wen Xiaoran's heart skipped a beat. "Would you believe me if I said it was all a misunderstanding?"
