After I Transmigrated into a Book, Top-Tier Stars Begged Me to Stop Treating Everything as a Joke

Chi Yun transmigrates into a novel about siblings in show business, becoming a nameless, C-list actress who shares her name.

Not only is she a nobody, she’s also a shameless clout-chaser, especially when it comes to the main characters, the brother and sister. By the time Chi Yun arrives, the original owner has been torn to shreds by online trolls and has chosen to give up on everything.

Nobody knows that the siblings aren’t actually related. The female lead was adopted by the Ji family, while the original owner was the biological daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ji.

Before the Ji couple made their fortune, they abandoned their sick eldest daughter. Later, overcome with guilt, they adopted the female lead.

After learning the truth, the original owner desperately longed for the family affection that should have been hers. Her attempts to get close to them ultimately became the reason she was hounded to death. The main characters knew the truth, yet did nothing as the original owner slowly withered away.

Chi Yun has only heard a little about the plot. Who could have guessed she’d land right in the middle of it? As someone who loves a good spectacle, Chi Yun chooses the most challenging path. She’ll take back everything the original owner lost, whether it’s her reputation or her future.

Of course, she can do without that shitty family love.

Chi Yun is a terminally online internet oddball who lives for a laugh.

When she joins a dating show, she meets:

A university professor with a heavy dose of mansplaining: “Girls should put more effort into their appearance. Unlike us men, all we need to do is stay clean...”

Chi Yun: “Did the production team consider the mental health of its Hui Muslim viewers before inviting you?”

University professor: ?

A self-important “financial tycoon”: “The relationship between short selling, going long, and the market... Oh, I forgot. You girls probably aren’t interested in this.”

Chi Yun: “You’re right. Let me quiz you: what grade of concrete should you use to mix spaghetti?”

Financial tycoon: ?

When a big-name celebrity shows up, Chi Yun doesn’t bat an eye. But when the aunties at the village entrance get into a fight, she turns up with sunflower seeds and a stool.

A joker for a day, a joker for life. Chi Yun’s sheer absurdity leaves the netizens with their fingers poised over their keyboards speechless: How is she even better at insulting people than we are?

Her Weibo account soon gathers a crowd of fellow jokers. Though they claim to be her fans, they either spend every day asking for gossip about show business or begging her to write a book teaching them how to insult people.

Later, the literary, sensitive genius actress who comes into contact with Chi Yun, the sensitive heartthrob... They all end up becoming just like her.

Chi Yun: Yay, we’re all jokers!

Content warning: It’s a little rough, a little chaotic, and a little dull. The author’s writing has been pretty dismal, skr!

Come check out my new novel: I Passed the Exam, But It’s the Ministry of Magic

Fu He is one of countless people preparing for the civil service exam. She spends every day crawling through the dim corners of the library, studying herself to the bone just to land a government job, until she pushes open an old white door.

From that moment on, magical fantasy and reality meet.

An old witch in a dark blue robe with a huge nose tells Fu He that she came to the magical world after accidentally touching a runaway enchanted object. The Department of Magical Artifacts at the Ministry of Magic will take responsibility, compensate her, and erase her memories.

Fu He: ...Wait, you have government departments too?

Old witch: Yes.

Fu He: What’s your applicant-to-position ratio?

Old witch: Uh, probably... not very high. (After all, few wizards are willing to work here.)

Fu He: Do your civil service exams test aptitude and essay writing too?

Old witch: Uh, probably, maybe... (I don’t know. We’ve never had an exam like that.)

Fu He is overjoyed: Great! For compensation, I want a civil service job at the Ministry of Magic!

Old witch: Uh, what? No, our work is dangerous, and you don’t have much magic...

Fu He: Ma’am, times have changed. We live in the age of firearms!

Old witch: No, you don’t understand what our work involves...

Fu He: Public servants should work hard to bridge the gap between themselves and the people, and make sure their work meets the people’s needs. Grassroots governance affects millions of households. To address the people’s urgent difficulties and concerns, and achieve good governance, we must identify the right starting points and practical solutions for our work, and always treat respect for the people as the fundamental principle behind everything we do...

Fu He recites a whole essay, leaving the witch in front of her stunned.

Old witch: Well... you can try it out and see if you can get used to the job.

Fu He: Yay, I’m on probation!

A lot of people feel that things have been getting a little too fantastical lately. First, a girl claiming to be a Ministry of Magic civil servant suddenly appears and gets caught up in all kinds of bizarre incidents. Then a magical world emerges, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the country.

Does this make sense? People don’t know.

But the world is changed beyond recognition.

Good heavens, catgirls are becoming idols! Furries rejoice!

Good heavens, a magical potion company has opened in the human world! Occult enthusiasts rejoice!

Good heavens, the Ministry of Magic and the government are developing new energy sources together! Human technology is taking off once again!

From then on, people no longer wear themselves out just trying to make ends meet. Illness, hunger, and war all fade away, and goodness, truth, and beauty are embraced.

Someone asks that first civil servant why she chose such a dull job in the first place.

Fu He: Back then, everyone wanted a stable job. A position in the Ministry of Magic is still a government job, after all.

Do you still feel that way now?

Fu He: Now I’m a civil servant because I have a heart devoted to the people, because I want to serve them.

Old witch: How is the Ministry of Magic still short-staffed after all this?!

Theme: Love in your heart can overcome the darkness.
