In her previous life, Nan Yi worked in public relations. She'd had enough of defending celebrities whose public images were all that remained of their reputations. In this life, she was going to pull the rug out from under her peers and become a gossip account that said whatever came to mind.
Marketing was a profound discipline. Nan Yi had only meant to run a little account that reposted gossip and scandal every day, but somehow she became a famous trendsetter in the industry.
Mini-scene One
The first person to ask Nan Yi for help was her writer best friend, who wanted her to promote an obscure novel about the entertainment industry. Great, the entertainment industry. She knew that world well.
Recently, fans of various minor celebrities had been hearing that a retired agent who'd also worked as a personal assistant had switched careers and started writing novels. The fans kept a close eye on the stories, afraid they might contain dirt about their own idols.
"This character is obviously your idol. She has single eyelids and small eyes. My guy is famous for his big, double-lidded eyes!"
"Get out of here. The character has a word from your idol's name in her name, so she must be based on your idol."
"Hey, did none of you read the author's note? It says, 'Purely fictional. Please don't read too much into it.' Eight big words, right there."
Mini-scene Two
A once-famous A-list actress had announced her marriage and the birth of her child at the height of her career. More than twenty years later, she'd finally seen through the vanity of the world, divorced, and returned to acting. But competition among actresses was fierce, so she turned to Nan Yi, who had already made a bit of a name for herself. An actress with real talent was easy to promote, of course.
"Mom, is that you? Mom."
"Oh my god, the way she looks at the female lead is exactly how I look at my cat!"
The actress didn't rely on her looks or elegance. She leaned into her role as a mom, and her mature, all-embracing aura made countless netizens feel the warmth of a mother's love.
In her previous life, when Nan Yi first heard of Gu Shi, he was struggling to sue his company, while she was employed by that company and stood against him.
When she met Gu Shi again in this life, the first thing she did was tell him not to enter the industry.
