After Dumping My Top-Tier Star Ex, I Awakened [Entertainment Industry]

Completed, sending love.

My new novel next door is now open: The Female General Conquers the Entertainment Industry. Come check it out! (*^▽^*)

In the trending topic, "Some people are already being missed while they're still alive,"

there's one name that appears nine times out of ten: Geng Yao.

A frequent trending-topic star, with unmatched popularity and commercial value, a massive hit drama under her belt, and a top-tier star whose acting talent and beauty buffs are maxed out.

Her career fans were exasperated: She got famous and let it go to her head. She keeps cutting scenes and adding random ones, and her acting is halfhearted. She's so hopeless, she's had five flops in a row. What a waste of such brilliant talent.

Her die-hard fans abandoned ship one after another: She has a pretty face, and we can put up with bad acting, but not throwing herself at people, workplace bullying, and a terrible personality!

One day, Geng Yao awakened and realized she was a cannon-fodder character in a novel. At the height of her fame, the plot would force her to lose her mind, make her a foil for the heroine and a simp for the hero, and wreck her career until it was practically buried.

Geng Yao, who was destined to die miserably in the original plot, calmly declared: As long as I'm alive, I can't be finished!

I've stood at the summit before. If I start over, there'll still be a place for me at the top.

[Romance]

The top-tier star ex she had dumped confronted her with cropped surveillance footage:

His living room, him drunk, her straddling his lap...

Geng Yao: I was taking care of you while you were drunk...

Xie Huaizhuo: My hands were tied up.

Geng Yao: I was helping you change your pants... I wasn't interested in you!

Xie Huaizhuo: What would it take to make you interested?

Geng Yao: Huh???

The entertainment industry used to take it for granted that Huai was the top male star and Yao the top female star.

Geng Yao and Xie Huaizhuo once had a hit on-screen pairing. After Geng Yao's career went downhill, their fans could only quietly indulge in old moments.

Then Geng Yao, whose career was on the rise again, was photographed on a date with Xie Huaizhuo.

Under the man's pleading gaze, Geng Yao gave up on setting the record straight.

Xie Huaizhuo promptly posted: We've found each other again. Please wish us well.

The post set the trending topics ablaze.

Their fans went wild: The couple I shipped all those years ago is actually real!!!!

My new novel next door is now open: The Female General Conquers the Entertainment Industry. Come check it out!

Gu Ningyu, the only female general of the Great Qi Dynasty, had just made a deal with a System when she was transported into an entertainment-industry novel.

Her first mission after arriving was to beat someone up so badly they ended up in jail.

To make up for the plot, she went to the film studios to try her luck, where she stumbled upon a livestreaming variety show and became famous by accident.

With the same fierce attitude she'd used to fight on a battlefield, Gu Ningyu rose to become a top-tier star.

She became the most dedicated actor in the eyes of famous directors, the collaborator actors most wanted to work with, and the most sought-after guest on variety shows.

The System looked at the original character's profile on its interface:

Nothing but a stunning face, maintaining her popularity in the entertainment industry by being infamous.

The System said, "No! Where's your vase persona, Host!?"

"I'm poor, and..." Gu Ningyu said awkwardly. "I don't think my talent will let me play that role."

The System: "..."

Lu Zhizhou is known as the entertainment industry's big bad wolf.

He defies convention, has endless rumors swirling around him, and constantly pulls outrageous stunts.

With a top-tier face and extraordinary talent as a singer-songwriter, he not only managed to stay popular but was also voted the most entertaining celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Ever since he appeared on a variety show with Gu Ningyu, he's been like a dog skin plaster she can't shake off, and the internet has been cursing and complaining.

Just as the calls for him to stay away from Gu Ningyu grew louder,

Lu Zhizhou shamelessly announced their relationship, sending the internet into an uproar.

Later, during an interview,

the host asked through clenched teeth, "What do you think of the comments after you announced your relationship?"

Lu Zhizhou grinned. "When you insult me, don't look at what I've gained. Look at what I've lost."

"I repaid her for saving my life, and she started eyeing my looks. I had to sacrifice myself for her. My life is so hard~~"

The host gripped the microphone, wishing it were a knife.

That day, #LuZhizhouRepaysKindnessWithEvil# topped the trending topics.

Gu Ningyu: "???"

His reputation is so bad that nobody believes him even when he tells the truth.

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, ancient-to-modern transmigration, body transmigration, both leads are each other's first.

2. A steel-hearted, straight-laced female general with maxed-out combat skills and total dedication to her career VS a big bad wolf who talks dirty and is even more devious.

3. The male lead has lots of rumors surrounding him, but there's a reason for them. He's never dated or flirted with anyone, and is as innocent as a grade-schooler.

4. Don't compare this to real life. Just read for fun, okay? Kisses!
