Forced to Work, I Became a Sensation in the Entertainment Industry

Jo Zhinan is a C-list actress who has been in the industry for a year. Her roles and aired scenes might amount to less screen time than it takes to edit a compilation video of them. Then, all of a sudden, several hit variety shows compete to invite her, she can pick any lead role in a blockbuster IP adaptation, luxury endorsements come easily, and award-winning actors line up to play supporting roles. Rumors that Jo Zhinan has a sugar daddy and was forced into the casting couch spread like wildfire. They mock her for having only a high school education? Take a look at her double master's degree from Jing University, earned through a special admissions program. They call her a country bumpkin from some remote village? Sorry, do you mean the remote village with the gold mine? They say she's a fake heiress who switched places with the real one? Sorry, you can't even imagine how rich her biological parents are. A domineering CEO frowns. “What sugar daddy? What casting couch? I won't let the talent I've taken a shine to stay unknown in the entertainment industry!” He showers her with resources, crushes the competition with his financial clout, gives her daily attention, and even… helps her become a better student. Gu Xian closes in on her, pulling her into his arms. Looking down at her, he says, “I've worried myself sick. Could you please show a little ambition?” Jo Zhinan: … I suspected the CEO wanted to get with me, but I never expected him to just want me to focus on my career!!! The CEO is seriously the worst!!! Jo Zhinan: “No, I can't. I just want to be a lazy fish!” A C-list actress with a ton of secret identities who wants to be a lazy fish X a CEO who constantly finds new ways to get her working (everyone's darling + secret identities + feel-good, satisfying, sweet romance) Jo Zhinan, with a serious expression: “Just a correction: the title should be I Quit the Industry After Being Forced to Work. Thank you!” The south wind knows my heart; Gu Xian is left to cool alone!
