Synopsis
Gu Sinian is the only deity in the Ninth Abyss.
One day, they hear that the mortal entertainment industry is thriving, with a hundred flowers in bloom.
Gu Sinian: Let me see what tricks you mortals have up your sleeves.
*
In an entertainment-industry comeback drama, a famous actress is willing to play second fiddle to a minor actress because of a childhood sweetheart's promise.
In an interstellar war drama, a female star general with a deranged mental sea entrusts her charge to her deputy on her deathbed, begging him to set a young, handsome space pirate free.
In a xianxia cultivation drama, a lovesick substitute junior sister's golden core shatters. Even after she falls to demonic cultivation, she still plots to take the aloof immortal Venerable by force.
In an ancient political drama, an empress widowed in her prime becomes addicted to drugs, spending every night behind the curtains asking the spirits about the supernatural instead of caring about the people.
And in a Haitang ABO drama, a commoner Omega who disguises herself as a Beta hides her identity to enter military school, only to make becoming the imperial crown prince's consort her life's goal.
*
Gu Sinian: ...
The Abyssal Lord, who knows nothing of love, asks a question from the depths of their soul: Do humans have anything to do besides fall in love?
Then Gu Sinian transmigrates into a nationally beloved film queen and is cast to play all these beautiful women.
The System panics. "Lord Main God, you're going to be turned into a love-struck fool too!"
Gu Sinian: ?
The System: "Everyone in this world has been trapped beneath the halo of a love-struck fool."
Gu Sinian: ...
Behind every love-struck protagonist stands a love-struck Heavenly Dao.
*
To avoid being assimilated by the world's love-struck consciousness, Gu Sinian is forced down the path of tearing off those love-struck halos.
The third female lead in a production lowers her acting standards to make her idol boyfriend look good. Tear it off, tear it off, tear it off!
The female protagonist, a dragon-born hero, sacrifices her comrades' lives to let her lover escape. Tear it off, tear it off, tear it off!
The second female lead, a villain, takes her secret crush by force and even plots to harm her senior sister, who is both her mentor and friend. Tear it off, tear it off, tear it off!
Her immediate superior, President Ji, is looking at her with increasingly suggestive eyes. Tear it off...
Can't tear it off?
Gu Sinian is baffled. "Isn't President Ji frigid?"
The System considers its words carefully. "Perhaps you've heard the term 'closeted'?"
Gu Sinian: ?
*
The moment Gu Sinian opens her eyes, she finds herself facing two identical faces.
Her agent stands on the left. "My lady, your scandal is trending again."
Her assistant stands on the right. "Sister Gu, should I take this heart-shaped lunchbox to Actor Zhang now?"
The Abyssal Lord narrows their eyes, sensing that things aren't simple.
About how everyone in the human world has the same face.
Among countless exquisite figurines, all identical in proportion, there is only one exception: Ji Chiyu, executive president of Starlight Entertainment.
Gu Sinian lowers her voice and asks the System, "Doesn't he look like the kept man I've never met?"
*
Everyone in the industry thinks Starlight Entertainment's executive president is frigid, until one day President Ji makes an unprecedented appearance at a banquet with a female companion.
Everyone: ! Who would have thought that someone with such an upright face like yours would keep a pretty boy!
Ji Chiyu: ...
Would you believe me if I told you the pretty boy made the first move?
Much later, Ji Chiyu accidentally opens the book on her shelf titled A Guide to Keeping a Pretty Boy and falls into deep thought.
About how the pretty boy I keep thinks I'm the pretty boy.
*
The most worthwhile deal Ji Chiyu ever made was spotting Gu Sinian's potential when she was down on her luck and signing her to the company. She witnessed her rise step by step, becoming a beloved star in the industry and beyond, everyone's cherished moonlight and scarlet beauty mark.

*
The only deity in the Ninth Abyss possesses the most breathtaking beauty in the mortal world and the most unfeeling heart.
P.S.:
1. An otherworldly, beautiful, blind-to-faces, flirtatious lead versus a seemingly frigid but genuinely love-struck, self-deluding CEO. Both are sexually and emotionally inexperienced.
2. I don't accept negative reviews from people who haven't read the story or negative reviews without a reason.
3. No vilifying any supporting female characters. The world order is undecided and will be filled in as I write.
4. Extra sweet, extra sugary, extra satisfying!
The prequel to the first arc is currently updating. Highly recommended!
