Blurb:

Jiang Wanxing is a working stiff in the entertainment industry. She's beautiful and a good actress, but with no connections, she can only play vicious supporting roles in low-budget productions.

Having seen all the industry's unspoken rules, resource-backed stars, and the way people fawn over the powerful and trample the weak, her inner rage keeps growing.

On the outside, she maintains the image of a gentle, kind little white flower. On the inside, she'd love to see the entire entertainment industry destroyed.

"What a garbage director. Even a pig could handle the camera better than you. You couldn't get hired to turn a millstone at home."

"Drink, drink, drink. You invest a measly few bucks and think you can make actresses drink with you? Why not drink until you have a stroke?"

"Why are you blocking the camera? Your acting is so awful it could make the audience lose their appetite."

The more she vents, the harsher she gets, taking aim at anyone whose position isn't deserved.

Chen Re debuted as a top-tier star, with tens of millions of fans. Free-spirited and defiant, everything he does can shake the entire fan community. He acts for fun, and the director pairs him with Jiang Wanxing, an experienced senior actress.

Jiang Wanxing is a good actress with a great personality. Even Chen Re, who usually has no patience, can't find fault with her.

After an accident on set, Chen Re is struck by a prop and falls unconscious. When he wakes up in the hospital, he discovers that he can read minds.

On set, Chen Re's acting is still rough, and he keeps needing retakes.

Jiang Wanxing, out loud: Take your time. We've all been through this. I'll run through it with you again.

Jiang Wanxing, in her thoughts: A wooden post could act better than you. Even the dog beside us has learned the lines, and you still haven't!

Chen Re: !!

The cast goes on a variety show together, taking on an escape room.

Jiang Wanxing, out loud: Eek, the ghosts are so scary! Xiao Re, save me!

Jiang Wanxing, in her thoughts: If you scare me again, I'll twist all your heads off. Go chase Chen Re instead!

Chen Re: ??

The two meet on the red carpet at an awards gala.

Jiang Wanxing, out loud: Xiao Re looks so handsome. Hope your performance goes well.

Jiang Wanxing, in her thoughts: Your fans have yelled so loudly I'm deaf. Could you donate your eyes if you can't see? How can you praise a feathered chicken like that?

Chen Re: Uh...

At first, Chen Re gets furious whenever he hears Jiang Wanxing's complaints. Later, he thinks she might actually have a point. Eventually, he gets so used to hearing her thoughts that it feels strange when he can't.

He looks for every opportunity to work with Jiang Wanxing: TV dramas, films, variety shows, holiday performances. The harsher her complaints, the happier he feels.

But Jiang Wanxing seems to have started avoiding him, finding all sorts of ways to turn down offers to work together.

Chen Re finds Jiang Wanxing, ready to lay his cards on the table and confess. Then he hears her thoughts: Oh no, a top-tier star is trying to take advantage of me. If I knock him out, will his fans cyberbully me?

Chen Re: ...

Upcoming novel: "Help! I've Been Possessed by a CEO." Add it to your favorites from my author page~

Ji Xun is the CEO of the Ji Group. Young and already at the top, he's arrogant and refined, sharp-tongued, and a germaphobe.

After an unexpected car accident leaves him unconscious, his soul accidentally possesses a young woman's body.

Shen Zhaoning is an ordinary office worker whose daily life is completely uneventful.

But lately, everything has started going wrong. She talks back to her boss when he demands overtime, hands a difficult client a perfect proposal, and even makes a bold confession to the man she's had a crush on for ages.

Shen the Cowardly Zhaoning: Huh? Me?

She finally realizes something strange is going on with her and agrees on three rules with Ji Xun. He mustn't interfere with her life, or she'll perform an exorcism.

Ji Xun: Fine. I have one last request. Throw away the pineapple-head underwear in the closet. I don't like it.

Shen Zhaoning's face turns bright red: That's SpongeBob! ...Wait, what business is that of yours?

Shen Zhaoning unexpectedly gets a reply from her crush, who invites her out to a movie. Shen Zhaoning, who has been single since birth: ...Ji Xun, you can interfere one last time!

Everything goes smoothly. Her crush holds Shen Zhaoning's hand, and is even ready to take things further.

Ji Xun: ...

He beats the guy up.

Ji Xun crosses his arms, aloof: He had ulterior motives. He was going to kiss my mouth. Who else was I supposed to hit?

Shen Zhaoning: That's not your mouth, it's mine!

Ji Xun stares at her lips, his gaze deepening: ...It's mine too.
