The Promotion Diary of an Entertainment Industry Workaholic

[Coming soon: I'm an Agent for Fluffy Animals. Please add it to your collection.]

At eighteen, Xu Jinyue became the youngest Best Actress in history with her very first film.

Who could have guessed that she would get into a car accident on the way home from celebrating?

When she woke up, four years had passed.

During those four years, her body had been occupied by a transmigrator for reasons unknown.

Not only had she starred in a pile of terrible commercial films and taken on a heap of exploitative endorsements, she'd also been slammed on trending topics several times for controversial remarks on variety shows.

The entertainment industry never waits, and once the transmigrator left, she was left to plummet into obscurity at lightning speed.

Xu Jinyue: "?"

Xu Jinyue: This is heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Her agent asked without much hope what she planned to do next: Did she want to sell products on livestreams or stir up publicity on a variety show?

Xu Jinyue shook her head, her gaze firm. "I want to go back to acting."

Climbing the entertainment industry's career ladder again just meant starting over, didn't it?

For a workaholic like her, that was nothing.

This time, she would take back everything she'd lost!

At first, whenever people mentioned Xu Jinyue, they sighed over her wasted potential.

Later, no one could have imagined that she would rise step by step from the lowest depths, after everyone thought she was about to leave the industry and sell products on livestreams. With her acting skills and determination, she would climb back to the very top of the entertainment world.

The day she reclaimed her Best Actress crown, she smiled brightly and beautifully at the camera.

I gave you all four years, and not one of you could measure up.

Well, I'm back.

An optimistic, ambitious workaholic who won't stop until she gets what she wants. Leveling-up story.

An entertainment-industry novel about making movies. I don't think I've written one with a pure actor as the protagonist before, so I'll give it a try.

As usual, it's my own slightly malicious take on the entertainment industry. I've never been a celebrity, so don't take it as fact (.

Reader notice:

1. There is a male lead, an ordinary person outside the industry. It involves a pseudo-incest relationship, so avoid it if that bothers you.

2. The heroine will take on many different roles, so there will also be romantic scenes and CP publicity stunts.

3. There are both male and female villains.

Coming soon: I'm an Agent for Fluffy Animals

In recent years, more and more animals have gained the ability to take human form, overwhelming the Bureau of Animal Management.

The director ordered senior employee Shen Chuge to find jobs for the animals.

Shen Chuge was a corporate drone who worked as an agent for an entertainment company by day and at the Bureau of Animal Management by night. Looking at the animals' gorgeous faces, she had a sudden inspiration: Why don't you become celebrities?

Shen Chuge had been an agent for ten years, representing artists who were either ungrateful or embroiled in scandals. She had even become a laughingstock in the industry.

But then, seemingly out of nowhere, she signed a group of exceptionally talented artists.

A newly debuted girl-group idol had beautiful, flirtatious fox eyes and an alluring charm.

A singer with no prior fame shot to stardom as one of the hottest new-generation singers, thanks to a voice as lovely as a lark's.

An unknown new model had long legs and an elegant bearing. Her fashion sense was unmatched, and she walked the runway like a crane.

A rookie actor was not only brilliant and astonishingly talented, but smiled like a happy puppy, earning a legion of devoted fans who adored him like a son.

More importantly, even after they became famous, every one of them stayed with Shen Chuge. Not a single one had any intention of jumping ship.

They even stood up for her whenever fans criticized their agent.

Everyone in the industry wondered where Shen Chuge had found such treasures.

But becoming a top-tier agent brought its own share of troubles for Shen Chuge.

On one hand, she had to keep them from being found out and having their true forms exposed.

On the other, all these fluffy animals had odd temperaments, and she had to soothe one after another.

And you, Mr. Golden Retriever, stop sneaking over to my place whenever you have nothing better to do!

Coming soon: Magical Girl, but She's a Corporate Drone

The world is polluted, and disasters are breaking out everywhere.

The consciousness of Earth sends out magical beasts to find gifted magical girls and save the world.

"Please sign a contract with me and become a magical girl to save the world!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I have to work overtime tonight."

"..."

After a moment's struggle, the contract beast said, "We'll pay you a certain amount!"

Li Buxi finally looked up.

"Do you provide social insurance? A thirteenth-month salary? Two days off a week? Meal and transportation allowances? Overtime pay?"

Contract beast: "..."

Can't you wish for love and dreams or something?!

Only children are still enthusiastic about saving the world after school and on their days off.

Adults only care about benefits.

Every day after signing an employment contract with the contract beast, Li Buxi would deal with whatever trouble came up, look at the money that had landed in her account, and breathe a sigh of relief.

The world hadn't been destroyed today.

That's wonderful.
