Tearfully, she clings to his bedside, sneaking a feel of his abs:
“Hubby, I broke down fifteen times on my way here, hallucinated thirty times, and slapped myself twenty times just to believe you were injured because of me!”
[Wow, so handsome. How about letting me kiss you once?]
Si Zhuo hears her inner thoughts: “?!”
Qiu Manman continues, “There’s no such thing as peaceful days. It’s all because you’re carrying the weight for me!”
“…”

In a remote village, he foretells misfortune, leading tax evaders to immediate exposure.
When trapped in a landslide in the mountains, he summons a white hawk to guide rescue teams to safety.
His skills soon spark a nationwide fascination with metaphysics, and amidst his rise, Jiang Wu encounters someone who looks exactly like the young emperor from a thousand years ago. Without hesitation, he latches onto him, seeking to settle a centuries-old debt.

After three days of sulking, Han Zhong somberly asks a friend, "If I change my name to his white moonlight's name, do you think he’ll love me more?"
His friend: "...Don’t be ridiculous."

Song Zhiyi had a dream. In it, her twin brother, Song Zhiyu, was a cannon fodder male supporting character in an entertainment industry novel, a hopeless simp who ultimately died for love.
When she woke up, anger surged within her. Armed with the character settings booklet she obtained from the dream, she decided to stay close to her brother by taking on the role of his assistant. Along the way, she made use of the booklet to enjoy some juicy gossip—err, eliminate potential dangers.
As for celebrity scandals, divorces, or arrests… what does that have to do with her? She’s just here for the tea!
On set, Song Zhiyi sat with a watermelon, observing the third male lead exuding greasy charm with a flick of his bangs. She frowned slightly.
"Judging by his face, he’s a prime candidate for a sewing machine operator. Let me check the booklet."
"Tsk, gambling, drugs, AND prostitution? And he’s chasing after my brother? No way! For my brother’s reputation, we must keep our distance. Better yet, just cancel this project—it won’t air anyway."
The third male lead: …
Director: …
“Wait! I’ve been preparing this film for four years! Let’s just recast—wait, Song Zhiyu, don’t leave! Just leave your sister behind!”
During a variety show group recording, Song Zhiyi continued to lounge with her popsicle behind the monitors. When a black-haired youth suddenly appeared, she was stunned by his beauty, nearly biting through the popsicle stick.
"An angel! I’ve seen an angel! If I were the boss, I’d promote him instead of wasting resources on someone at least five years older than their claimed age, already embroiled in scandals. Speaking of which, how did that person even get in?"
The boss: “Indeed, who signed him? Investigate immediately.”
"Oh, so he climbed into the boss’s husband’s bed? Ew. Wait, her husband’s actually a bottom? Scandalous."
The boss: … “Stop filming. I’m filing for divorce.”

Recently, Song Zhiyu has been enthusiastically accepting more work, partly due to the numerous opportunities and partly because his sister shares all the juicy gossip she hears after work! The joy of gossiping is indescribable!
Unfortunately, he can’t openly share this information. Instead, he subtly boasts about his amazing sister to everyone, leading the entire company to avoid him… except for one person: a rising singer-songwriter, Qi Nanfeng.
They became friends naturally, until one day in a parking lot, Song Zhiyu saw Qi Nanfeng with red eyes, being (yes, being) pinned against a wall and kissed by a familiar figure.
Song Zhiyu, now also red-eyed: “I treated you like a brother, and you want to be my brother-in-law?!”

Despite owning the "Entertainment Industry Star-Making System," every artist she nurtured ended up crashing and burning. She became an unspeakable legend in the entertainment world.

After a series of strange clues, Bai Nuan finally understood:
Oh no! Since when could these cunning bigshots all eavesdrop on my inner thoughts?!
Bai Nuan transmigrated into a novel as a disposable cannon fodder character in the entertainment industry—specifically, the unlucky woman who gets dumped by the male lead, goes bankrupt, and ends up disfigured.
But bankruptcy? That’s impossible! She vowed to protect her fortune and remain a top-tier rich beauty!
So what if the engagement was broken off? Break it! Break it! Break it!
However, as Bai Nuan sat back to enjoy the drama, waiting for the male lead and supporting male characters to circle around the original female lead like moths to a flame, she noticed something was off.
Why was the plot deviating from the script?
Why were the male lead and supporting male characters looking at her with increasingly strange expressions?
The domineering CEO and original male lead: “Engagement? We don’t have to break it off.”
The yandere genius designer: “Can I call you ‘big sister’?”
The heir to a financial conglomerate: “I have a project I’d like to gift to you.”
The elegant yet scheming director: “For the first time, I feel like promoting someone personally.”
The legendary makeup artist: “What? Me, liking the original female lead? Ha, not even a little bit.”
While Bai Nuan tirelessly filmed to become a top-tier celebrity, launched companies, and juggled investments, she constantly muttered:
“Sigh, if I don’t work hard, the tragedy of bankruptcy and disfigurement will repeat itself. People must learn to save themselves!”
The male lead and supporting male characters were shocked. After exchanging glances filled with tension, they chose to set aside their rivalries. In a rare moment of unity, they launched a grand operation titled “Saving Bai Nuan!”
