The Queen of Showbiz's Guide to Claiming the Throne

Yang Qiaoqiao is the most vicious idol in the entertainment industry, while her fans, the Shovels, are the most laid-back fans around.

Yang Qiaoqiao: “Better to hit the books than boost my stats. Better to buy workbooks than merch. Go do your summer homework, and stop confessing your love in my comments.”

The Shovels: “An idol’s actions don’t reflect on the fans. You can insult my idol all you want, just don’t insult me.”

Meanwhile, Shu Lie is the most unconventional superstar in the writing world, the lone green leaf among women’s fiction authors. Whenever she appears, a symphony plays in the background: applause and boos in equal measure.

One day, these two industry menaces meet, and sparks fly... From then on, both their circles are swept up in a storm of drama.

Yang Qiaoqiao: “Writers are experts at using pretty words to manipulate people. Nine-tenths of every sentence is a lie, and only one-tenth is true. Get lost, you’re in the negatives.”

Shu Lie: “I’m honored, I’m honored. Actors are the real masters of disguises and play-acting. A tear is ninety-nine percent eye drops, and the remaining one percent is your own spit. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

Years later, when both fanbases learn the truth, they warmly ask their idols: “Does your face hurt?”
