A Nice Guy Who Turns the CEO Lady Gay

Ju Jixi transmigrates into a novel about a beloved darling adored by everyone, but she ends up as the Gu family's newly recovered biological daughter: a textbook cannon-fodder villain whom everyone despises.

The original story says she is supposed to be humiliated by everyone on a transformation reality show, then leave in tears to make way for the heroine, the family's cherished adopted daughter, to shine.

But...

Ju Jixi is an emotionally stable capybara.

The Gu parents put on stern faces to intimidate her. Thinking they were spacing out, Ju Jixi thoughtfully offers them a glass of water.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu: ...

The adopted daughter, Gu Shulan, sneers. "So you grew up in the countryside and don't even know how to use a knife and fork?"

Ju Jixi nods seriously. "Right. We Chinese use chopsticks. Don't you?"

The adopted daughter's fiance humiliates her in front of everyone. "Someone like you doesn't deserve to be here."

Ju Jixi looks up. "Oh. Should I sit down, then?"

Humiliation doesn't work. Sarcasm doesn't work. PUA doesn't work at all.

Ju Jixi infuriates a crowd of ill-intentioned people, while thinking they just aren't very good at controlling their expressions.

Everyone: ...This isn't how the script is supposed to go!!!

The moment the show airs, Ju Jixi's name fills the trending searches.

#Ju Jixi made everyone cry on a reality show#

#Is Ju Jixi actually a capybara#

#Can I borrow some of her unflappability#

#The other person cries and leaves the room, while she calmly hands them a tissue#

#Please, can't she get flustered just once#

Ju Jixi doesn't get flustered. She leisurely sips plain water in front of the cameras.

"I'm very emotionally stable. Thanks for your concern."

Then the aloof, high-powered CEO of a wealthy family, Huo Xinfu, known for her decisive manner, actually walks over and sits beside Ju Jixi, sitting close to her.

The whole room falls silent.

*

The first time Huo Xinfu saw Ju Jixi was in the reality show's waiting area.

Everyone was sizing one another up, forming alliances, and fighting over seats.

Only one girl sat in a corner, gazing absentmindedly at the kittens in the courtyard.

Her expression was calm, like a stone softened by water.

Huo Xinfu, accustomed to seeing people scheme against one another, thought: What channel is this person even on?

Then she saw someone deliberately knock over the girl's luggage.

The girl stood up and bent down to pick up her things one by one. She didn't cry or lose her temper.

She only slowly raised her head and said calmly, "Next time you bump into someone, remember to apologize. It's basic manners."

The girl who had knocked into her was left speechless.

The whole room went quiet.

Huo Xinfu suddenly felt a tingling warmth in her chest, as if a little kitten had gently pawed at her~

Theme: Even the calmest heart will eventually ripple.
