My Scandals Aren't My Claim to Fame

The full novel costs only 3.77 yuan to subscribe to. I hope everyone will support original works and help create a healthy online fiction community.

My ongoing novel, The Scumbag Woman's Great Escape Through Worlds, is being updated regularly next door.

My completed novel, The Female Side Character in a Period Novel Only Wants to Lie Flat [The 1970s], is available in my author profile.

A drama-obsessed superstar heroine × a sensitive, fragile rich-kid director hero

Xu Jinhuan has loved acting since childhood. After graduating, she worked diligently to hone her skills, dreaming of becoming a superstar.

Unfortunately, luck was never on her side. She spent her whole life playing bit parts and never made a name for herself. She even died after falling while filming a wire-assisted stunt.

Luckily, heaven took pity on her and let her transmigrate into the body of a female celebrity with the same name.

The original owner had unbelievable luck. She shot to fame after debuting as a spoiled second female lead, becoming the nation's little princess. With that wave of popularity, she could soon have become a true superstar. Unfortunately, her acting skills were lacking, and her emotional and social intelligence were both terrible. She offended every collaborator around her.

Worse still, at this critical moment, her younger brother was caught red-handed bullying a classmate!

The internet erupted in a storm of criticism, with everyone telling her to get out of show business.

Overwhelmed by the hate, the original owner lost all hope. She chose to announce her retirement in a livestream and then take her own life, but she died suddenly from the stress before the livestream began, leaving Xu Jinhuan to take over.

Xu Jinhuan: No need to panic! It's not that big a deal. We can still fix things!

.

As everyone knows, Xu Jinhuan is a pretty face with nothing but popularity.

Her acting is terrible, she has neither brains nor people skills, and she's an accomplice in school bullying!

The one thing she has going for her is that, after being scolded by everyone, she plans to announce her retirement in a livestream.

That day, netizens happily entered the livestream on time, ready to enjoy the fruits of their righteous crusade. But right in front of them, the woman solemnly made a declaration:

She absolutely would not quit show business.

Netizens: ??? Are you messing with us?!

.

Xu Jinhuan had only meant to make her position clear, but unexpectedly, she activated a face-slapping System.

System: As long as you keep face-slapping people and earn face-slapping points, you can collect superstar fragments and gradually reach the peak of life. Just for you!

Xu Jinhuan: Face-slapping? Easy. I'm a professional!

The netizens she'd tricked were furious at first, but gradually noticed that the Xu Jinhuan who used to be all attitude and no ability had changed. What happened to her?

Not only had her acting improved by leaps and bounds, but her emotional and intellectual intelligence had improved, too. She had her brother, who bullied classmates, her parents, who treated their daughter as a cash cow, and her talent agency, which only cared about exploiting her, all completely under control. She face-slapped them again and again!

Netizens: So satisfying!!

Xu Jinhuan: Face-slapping is just a side benefit. Becoming a superstar is my ultimate goal.

The quick transmigration System is loading. Characters are being loaded.

Task-taker No. 1: Rong Xueqing, a tragic female side character tormented by the hero and heroine in a melodrama.

Task-taker No. 2: Meng Zhiyu, a powerful businesswoman with a hidden identity: a player who juggles many lovers.

Task-taker No. 3: Qu Fu, a sweet-faced, dark-hearted little girl with a hidden identity: a heartbreaker.

The three of them are tossed into the quick transmigration System, while higher-dimensional readers watch from beyond the screen.

System prompt: Use your points to draw golden fingers. Ten draws guarantee a rare item. A sure win!

Instead, one teammate becomes blind, another becomes illiterate, and Rong Xueqing discovers that she's a stutterer when she tries to swear.

Luckily, she gets a half-immortal golden finger this time and starts making a living with her gift of gab.

An unemployed girl crouches in front of a stall, crying. Rong Xueqing hands her a tissue. "Go... go to the west of the city and tr... try there."

The girl finds her dream job that very day.

Even when a local tycoon comes to expose their scam, Rong Xueqing tells him, "You... you should watch out for him. He'll bring harm to your daughter." Her words leave him half-convinced.

Three days later, the tycoon returns in tears to thank her. "Half-Immortal, your prediction was spot-on!"

Rong Xueqing and her two teammates look at the little mountain of gold in their room, grinning from ear to ear.

World Two: Making a fortune in a bandit stronghold.

This time, Rong Xueqing becomes a pretty widow in a bandit stronghold. The place is desperately poor, with a second-in-command trying to seize power within and the regular army planning to wipe them out from without.

The higher-dimensional readers leave comments: They're out of options now, right?

But Rong Xueqing simply turns around and leads the bandits in building houses and earning money by hunting.

Six months later, a reporter comes to interview the model village that escaped poverty and asks the villagers, "Didn't you used to be bandits?"

Every villager shakes their head like a rattle. "You can't say that! The village chief will make us copy The Guide to Getting Rich a hundred times if he hears you."

World Three: A Scumbag Woman's Guide to Crashing and Burning.

The three of them transmigrate into a martial arts world as demonesses hated by everyone. One becomes face-blind, another is seriously ill, and the last loses all her martial arts abilities.

The higher-dimensional readers comment: Oh wow, they're done for. Their enemies are going to chop them into mincemeat.

Then the enemies come at them with knives.

Meng Zhiyu is the first to throw herself into the arms of Enemy No. 1. "I'm so glad you're alive... None of them are as gentle as you."

Qu Fu grabs Enemy No. 2, who has blood in his eyes, with tears welling up. "What took you so long? You scared me..."

Enemy No. 3 looks at Rong Xueqing coldly.

Rong Xueqing tries to remember what her teammates did, then manages to blurt out, "You're pretty good-looking."

Enemy No. 3: ?

Comments: ???

The enemies: Something's not right, but somehow this feels pretty good.

Later, her two teammates, who have been living it up, come to her exhausted. "Xueqing, we're tired of playing the heartbreaker."

Rong Xueqing gazes fondly at her two teammates.

"One last performance, then we'll go home."
