Ruby Lin, get out of the entertainment industry!

Ruby Lin, get out of the entertainment industry!
[Trying to scam my brother? You're asking for it!]
Suddenly, with a loud bang, a heavily made-up, glamorous female celebrity tumbled off the stage at the press conference.
Bai Xi woke up in a dilapidated bungalow. Looking at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, memories flooded her mind.
The original owner of the body was named Lin Xinxi, a big star. She was originally just a minor celebrity, but later she was appreciated by a director and invited to film a niche drama, which made her famous.
After she became famous, a flood of negative rumors suddenly appeared about her, saying things like she had bad acting skills or that she was trying to ride on the coattails of a male celebrity on reality shows.
Before long, she turned a winning hand into a losing one, and was attacked by online trolls who demanded that she get out of the entertainment industry.
The original owner of the body couldn't withstand the attacks from anti-fans and accidentally fell off the stage and died at the press conference for the new drama.
Bai Xi tapped her eyes with her finger, and a golden light flashed from her fingertip.
Immediately, she saw a transparent spirit floating not far from her.
"Come here." Bai Xi beckoned to the original owner of the body.
Lin Xinxi looked blankly at someone who was waving at her, and slowly walked over as she was directed.
His dazed eyes cleared again. "You...you can see me?"
Bai Xi: "Mmm."
"Who...who are you?" Lin Xinxi stared at the stranger who had taken over her body. "Am I...already dead?"
Bai Xi nodded. "Yes, he's dead."
He added, "Completely dead."
Upon hearing her words, Lin Xinxi's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "So I really am dead." She cupped her face in her hands and began to sob.
After she had finished crying, she suddenly knelt down in front of Bai Xi.
"Can you help me! I didn't seduce Jiang Gu at all. He wanted me to be his mistress, and when I refused, he retaliated like this..."
All those accusations against her were fabricated out of thin air. It was only because she rejected him that he became enraged and framed her, trying to ruin her career in the entertainment industry.
Bai Xi patted her shoulder. "I didn't mean to use your body. In exchange, I will help you."
Lin Xinxi said excitedly, "Thank you."
Bai Xi leaned against the bed, flipped her hand upwards, and a small white booklet that emitted a faint light appeared in her palm, but beneath the light, there was a faint sense of malevolence.
"What's this?"
Lin Xinxi curiously came closer.
"The Book of Fate"
Lin Xinxi was puzzled. She opened the so-called Destiny Book, tapped it a few times, and a light screen appeared on the booklet, displaying the three characters "Lin Xinxi".
Lin Xinxi was astonished. She thought that turning into a ghost was fantastical enough, but she never expected that there were such mysterious things in the world. The girl in front of her must be a celestial being.
Subsequently, the name "Lin Xinxi" on the booklet was changed to "Bai Xi".
"This is?" Lin Xinxi asked in surprise, becoming curious about her identity.
Bai Xi explained, "Your life has ended, and Lin Xinxi no longer exists in this world, but then this unexpected event happened, so your name became my name."
"I see," Lin Xinxi said. "Are you living as me now?"
Bai Xi nodded. "Yes. In fact, you were the one who summoned me here. You died with extreme resentment and intense bitterness."
Lin Xinxi was taken aback. "...Is that so?"
She only realized after her death that the world was not what she had imagined.
She was terrified and confused until the girl in front of her awakened her consciousness, and only then did she realize that she was dead.
Bai Xi nodded, "So in exchange, I'll help you."
"Thank you!" Lin Xinxi said gratefully again.
Bai Xi casually picked up an apple from the small table next to the bed and started taking a bite.
She had just taken a bite when her cell phone rang in her pocket.
She took out her phone, turned on the speakerphone, and soon the manager's angry roar came through.
"Bai Xi! You can still eat? Don't you see what's going on outside?" The agent was furious when she heard the sound of someone eating fruit on the phone.
When Lin Xinxi heard her manager call her by the name Bai Xi, she felt it was amazing.
The sound was too jarring, so Bai Xi quickly moved her phone away.
Seeing this, Lin Xinxi looked at Bai Xi apologetically. She should have been the one to be scolded, but now it was her turn.
Bai Xi remained calm. "What happened outside? Isn't it just some dirt on me?"
"Why don't you check your phone now! Do you know what those haters are saying about you after you fell off the stage? They're saying it's karma, that you deserved it!"
Bai Xi paused in her munching on an apple, then said, "They'll suffer the consequences if they dare to curse me."
When her agent heard her words, he thought for a moment that she had damaged her brain, otherwise why would she say such stupid things?
"Bai Xi, I don't have time to joke with you right now. You need to come over here right now and apologize to everyone. I've already prepared a press conference for you."
"I'm not going!" Bai Xi immediately refused and slammed the phone down.
The agent on the other end heard the "beep" of the phone being hung up and stared at his phone in disbelief.
Bai Xi has grown too big for her britches. Does she even know what she's doing?
Inside the small house, Lin Xinxi was genuinely impressed by Bai Xi's audacity in hanging up on her agent.
"Bai Xi...you, my manager is terrifying."
Bai Xi continued munching on her apple, thinking, "It's just a tiny ant."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xinxi silently gave her a thumbs up.
If she had had her courage and fearless attitude when she was alive, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
It's also her fault for being too eager to make money and become famous...
A dozen seconds later, the agent called again.
As soon as the call connected, he launched into a tirade, "Bai Xi! Do I have to clean up your messes? Don't you want your dream of fame anymore?"
Bai Xi didn't stand on ceremony at all, "Whoever wants it can have it!"
broker,"……"
He used to use this to threaten her into doing whatever she wanted, but it didn't work today.
Did Bai Xi really break her head? Her speaking style is completely different from her previous timid and hesitant manner; it's like she's become a different person.
The agent said, "You're not going? You really don't want your career anymore? You don't want to be in this industry anymore? From the moment you signed the contract, you said you wanted to be a big star and make a lot of money..."
"I'm not interested anymore." Bai Xi was too lazy to listen to his rambling anymore, and hung up the phone with a "click".
The beeping sound came through my ear again.
broker,"……"
He felt a surge of anger rising in his chest that he couldn't vent, and he felt extremely frustrated.
