The cover is a template, and the characters' designs are not unique. If you see the same people on another cover, it's because the artist used the same source material.
As Lin Chenghuan, a has-been starlet plagued by scandals and driven out of show business by public abuse, she wakes up one day to discover she's trending. And the trending topic says she died in the hospital!
A flood of online media accounts cite a certain online encyclopedia to announce her death, making it all sound convincing. Even a certain social media outlet reposts the news.
Lin Chenghuan is furious. Anyone can edit encyclopedia entries! But her manager doesn't share her outrage. Delighted by the trending topic, she grins from ear to ear and decides to set the record straight later.
But putting it off leads to a disaster: her archenemy and former boss, Lu Zhiwei, rumored to be both her lover and her powerful backer, shows up at her door.
And, as luck would have it, she discovers the antidepressants and sleeping pills her friend left at home, along with the suicide note she wrote out of boredom.
The cold, ruthless workaholic completely loses it.
Blurb Two:
As the boss of top-tier starlet Lin Chenghuan, Lu Zhiwei does everything she can for her: finding roles suited to her, suppressing negative trending topics, and swiftly handling the crisis of her relationship with an ex possibly coming to light.
Treating her cash cow well while keeping a proper distance from her contracted artists has always been her principle. But one day, after Lin Chenghuan once again gives in to her ex's charms, goes to a hotel with her, and takes a month off to lounge around at home, Lu Zhiwei realizes that her own mood has become so agitated it's almost twisted.
"I must be worried that if her relationship comes out, it'll have a huge impact on her career, and she won't be able to make me as much money. That's why I can't settle down..." Lu Zhiwei reassures herself, then successfully uses her authority as the boss to summon Lin Chenghuan back to take endorsements and act in dramas.
But more than two years later, when she walks out of a hotel room with Lin Chenghuan and catches the stunned look on her ex's face, she finally understands:
She never wanted to argue with Lin Chenghuan over her lazy work habits. She was waiting for this moment when the tables would turn.
Also known as The CEO Is Jealous Again Today. Short title: Shining Star.
P.S. The characters in this novel are not based on any real-life celebrities. Any resemblance to actual events is not intended to allude to real people. There are only so many kinds of scandals, so it's easy for them to overlap with reality.

Now serializing next door: Don't Bully Senior Sister:
As the senior sister of the largest immortal sect in the East Sea, the Yuxu Mountain Xiaoyao Sect, Luo Qingyun hates no one more than her unruly junior sister, Chu Lingyuan, the sect leader's own daughter.
When Luo Qingyun was ten and her junior sister was seven, the younger girl hated her for taking their mother's affection and attention, so she threw the spiritual herbs Luo Qingyun had gathered for her into the sea. When Luo Qingyun was eleven, her junior sister went out of her way to avoid her. When she was twelve, her junior sister complained about the pastries she brought.
Every year after that, they were at each other's throats, swords drawn, until many years later, her junior sister shattered her golden core with a single strike.
Luo Qingyun: ... I've had enough! There's no need to put up with this anymore!
But on the day she abducts her junior sister to Bixiao Palace, intent on exacting revenge and restoring her pride, lines of text appear before her eyes.
[Go for it, Senior Sister! If you don't make your move now, you'll have no chance for the next two hundred years! Later, your junior sister will become someone else's cultivation partner, and you'll be left crying in the Demon Realm.]
[Senior Sister is still afraid of making her junior sister hate her, so she doesn't dare cross the line at all. She won't even do it under the pretext of revenge. Senior Sister might as well fall to the demonic path sooner...]
[Luo Qingyun: In this life, I hate my junior sister most of all! She always looks down on me and won't even touch my things. She's always giving me the cold shoulder. What did I do to make her hate me so much? Can't she like me just a little? Boohoo...]
[Senior Sister is really falling apart. She doesn't care about a mere golden core; she's even thinking that it's a shame she didn't become completely crippled, so her junior sister would have to take care of her for the rest of her life.]
Luo Qingyun: ?? Who's slandering me? I'm not a masochist!
But soon, those words of unknown origin reveal a world-shaking turn of events:
[Sigh, thinking about how she'll be framed by a traitor within the sect tomorrow for colluding with the demons and causing chaos, then break through the barrier while most of the Xiaoyao Sect's disciples are out looking for her, letting the demons into the sect to steal treasures and hurt people, I feel so sorry for her.]
What? If this is heavenly revelation, then I won't let anyone frame me, and I won't become the Demon Lord either.
The next day, after leading the Xiaoyao Sect in exposing the demons' plot, her master affectionately pats her on the head. Luo Qingyun bows respectfully. "Master, as I promised, I am willing to become cultivation partners with my junior sister."
Chu Lingyuan: Oh no, she's really going to take revenge on me this way...
Told in Luo Qingyun's first-person perspective: a deeply devoted, restrained senior sister on the verge of turning evil, paired with a willful, unruly junior sister.

Wow?????! The praise is great, I want to complain, but I feel that it is about to pass. I met an unpleasant superior offline. I am just a summer job. I am not afraid of exploiting peanut oil at all:-(, because I am new and don't understand anything. I just ask if I don't understand. So I was scolded and stupid. The problem is that he only invites people who think they are good prospects into a small group and does not distribute things to large groups. In fact, many people in the group didn't understand, but I just stood up and asked. Then I asked him how to do it and scolded him for not being able to read it in the group. I said, "I have never been taught offline, and there is nothing in the group." Then I thought of giving us a tutorial. Now it's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I only found out about it when I was in a group. In fact, I felt that I was not suitable for that kind of interpersonal communication, because I felt that the group was downwardly compatible with me, and it was not convenient for me to scold people in front of others. Last year, the group was with my superiors. I even joked that the group should be full of people like the group, so I was teased. Later, I was told by the group that there are not many in the group, and they are all newbies around the same time as me. Alas:-(, and now he is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But this world report is very fast, because I secretly made a few things myself. There are still two days until he is fired by me. Soon I will let him know the joy of being a subordinate and becoming Party A 🤩 😚 😏
I really think this book is pretty good [cheek-holding] Both heroines have long mouths and can speak and explain. There are no heartbreaking twists and misunderstandings. The relationship line is very smooth. Why are there so few people?
When did Lin realize that Lu liked her? 🐶
This book is not bad. Why are there so few people and not a single comment for many chapters?
One chapter of confession, two chapters of kissing, it's so fast 🐶
This pat on the shoulder is very socialist sisterhood 🐶
Congratulations on the completion~Spread the flowers.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
