After Joining a Variety Show, I Sold the Movie King a Pipe Dream

[Fake “Love Her by Force” Pie-Selling Heiress × Real “Playing Hard to Get” Pie-Devouring Movie Emperor]

Zhong Jiuyin was a martial arts prodigy who had spent her whole life among men. As for what she’d mastered best, it wasn’t martial arts manuals, but “how to make empty promises like a man.”

She could have lived a comfortable, easy life on the strength of her skills. Unfortunately, on a dark, murderously windy night, she suddenly transmigrated into the body of an unlucky, dead-end actress in the modern world.

The moment she arrived, she was signed up for a variety show, and her unscrupulous agent warned her that if she blew this chance, she’d be out on her ear.

How was she supposed to handle this?!

After thinking long and hard, she decided that the only thing to do was use her most finely honed skill:

“When I make some money, I’ll buy you gloves. Look how those little hands are all scraped up. It breaks my heart.”

“Lend me fifty yuan now, and when I come in first, I’ll pay you back tenfold.”

“At first, I wanted to just spend some money and buy you something, but then I worried you’d think I saw you as someone who only cares about money, money, money. So I folded you a jar of stars with my heartfelt sincerity. It’s a little cheap, but it comes straight from the heart.”

“Leave him. I can keep you fed even if I have to pick through the trash.”

Every celebrity on the show was so stuffed with the grand promises she fed them that their eyes nearly rolled back, and her agent had assumed she was doomed.

But when she got to the last person, a bit of chemistry miraculously sparked between them.

Zhong Jiuyin: Be patient. Next time, I promise I’ll take you to the movies if I get the chance.

Yan Cheng: Then let’s go at eight tonight. /I’m making that promise come true tonight.jpg

Zhong Jiuyin: ...We’re on a show. Isn’t it a little inappropriate to sneak off on a date?!
