The Metaphysics Master Rules the Entertainment Industry!

Cheng Qu became an actress surrounded by scandals

Cheng Qu was an orphan. The old men on the mountain gave her her name.

Over the matter of her name, the world's greatest sect cast divinations, fought magical duels, and traded insults. In the end, Old Master Cheng won, slapped the table, and gave her the surname Cheng and the single-character given name Qu.

"Bend, and you'll be whole; be wronged, and you'll be straight."

The old men said she was a once-in-a-generation talent descended from the heavens, with a fate too heavy to bear. To preserve herself, she had to bend without losing her true nature and mind her own business.

At first, Cheng Qu didn't understand. When she finally did, she felt that something was wrong.

If minding your own business was the only way to survive, what was the point of living?

So when the world's fortune collapsed, Cheng Qu stepped in.

And died.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a whole new world.

Cars and crowds filled the streets. It was cold and unfamiliar, and, just as before, the world's fortune was running dry.

Cheng Qu had become an actress buried in scandals. This time, she planned to heed the old men's advice, mind her own business, focus on her daily meals, and simply live well.

People spread rumors on trending topics, and a famous singer made snide remarks.

Cheng Qu ignored the murderer who was about to go to prison and replied coolly, "What a load of crap."

A scumbag tricked someone into marriage, and his wife, who knew he was gay, got pregnant.

Cheng Qu ignored the man who'd been cheated on in a three-way relationship, and simply asked the woman, "Would you consider having the baby and leaving the father out of it?"

She thought it would be fine to just drift through life.

But there was one person she had to get involved with.

At their first meeting, Cheng Qu recognized him at a glance.

One word, "Qinglai," and her eyes turned red.

He was the Nine-Square Heavenly Cauldron, a magical artifact from that other world, from countless millennia ago. He had watched sunrises and sunsets with her, let her govern a village of ten thousand, and protected her as she risked her life to challenge fate.

But he seemed to have forgotten her.

And he no longer went by Qinglai...

*

In this world, Qinglai is called Xie Yu.

Cheng Qu likes him.

During a variety show, viewers thought Cheng Qu's kindness to Xie Yu was one-sided, that she was acting like a shameless simp, until one day...

On camera, Xie Yu wore a seductive smile and popped one of Cheng Qu's favorite candies into his mouth, tempting her.

"Liaoliao, want some candy?"

"Liaoliao, want me?"

The Unknown Actress Is Fearless [Entertainment Industry]

The moment the variety-show contract landed in Gu Yao's hands, she finally realized she hadn't been given a second chance at life. She'd transmigrated into a book.

According to the original story, she was a short-lived, ill-tempered, villainous supporting actress.

On a dating show, she flaunted her bewitching looks, long legs, and slim waist, constantly competing with other women, stirring up trouble, and dating several men at once. After being contrasted with the sweet, gentle heroine, she was finally torn apart by the entire internet.

She hit rock bottom and went mad, driving through the streets and killing people indiscriminately out of spite before crashing into a building and dying.

Gu Yao fell off the sofa, utterly stunned.

Who? Who was competing with women, stirring up trouble, and dating several men at once? She'd only ever had one online boyfriend, okay?!

To avoid becoming the deranged version of herself in the story, Gu Yao immediately signed up for a different show. She was going to join an esports variety show!

After all, esports was all about hard-hitting fists, not going crazy and competing with other women!

But Gu Yao hadn't expected the sweet, innocent heroine to be a guest on this show too!

And what she hadn't expected even more was that her online boyfriend would turn out to be a genius pro player, there to coach one of the teams!

Oh, no!

The secret identity she'd used online was that of a poor, long-suffering wage slave! She was always telling him that she had to work hard and save up for a plane ticket to visit him!

If he found out that one episode of the show paid enough to buy a hundred plane tickets...

She'd be totally done for.

Before her secret identity was exposed, Gu Yao was bold and passionate in their online chats.

Baby. You're so sweet. I want you.

After her identity was exposed, Gu Yao smiled nervously in person.

I'm sorry. I'm guilty. I'll repent.

But that wasn't the main problem. As filming went on, Gu Yao realized that many parts of this esports show were a lot like the dating show in the original story.

Thinking it over, she suddenly saw the problem. The dating show itself wasn't the issue. It was the original story's male and female leads, who were awkwardly flirting, that made viewers treat the esports show, Battle for Glory, like a dating show.

She was doomed. Gu Yao had walked right into a trap from the start!

But then an even more terrifying thought occurred to her. This was the original variety show, and the original heroine was here, so where was the original male lead?

That's right. Her online boyfriend was the male lead!

...Help, please: if I sleep with the male lead, will heaven strike me down?

Bonus scene:

With her ankle chain jingling, Su Yu lay on the bed, his clothes half-off.

He took her hand and touched it to the fading red mark on his neck. Blushing and shy, he looked perfectly obedient.

He said, "Sis, I put myself in handcuffs for you. Is that okay?"

He also said, "Sis, be gentle with me. Won't you climb on top?"

Theme: Minding your own business is so dull. I'd rather meddle in everything and live life on my own terms.
