Chapter 1: A Passionate Internet Tycoon vs. His 18th-Tier Celebrity Ex-Girlfriend



The azure sea and the bright, shining sunshine.

"So, it's still easier to make money in this industry. Just act in a few scenes according to the script, and you'll get paid."

"That's right, otherwise why would everyone want to be a star? Look at that guy, he's really shameless. Even after being criticized like this, he's still eager to make a comeback, all because he's been paid well."

"Hey, she's here, she's here."

The two quickly shut up and deliberately looked away.

Lin Zhenzhen remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was inwardly complaining.

Is money easy to make?

Haha, even Zhou Bapi wasn't this ruthless.

Just now, the system bound to her mind issued her a task.

[As the villainous female supporting character, you fully support the female lead, causing the male lead to fall hopelessly in love. Mission difficulty: three stars. Mission rewards will be distributed based on the host's contribution points.]

That's right, in her first time participating in a quick transmigration mission, she played the role of a tool that made things difficult for the female lead.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a supporting actress. Lin Zhenzhen isn't a domineering actress, and she's never played a supporting role in all her years in the industry. It's quite interesting to have some fun in the quick transmigration system.

However, the contribution points for a three-star difficulty mission are already pitifully low. Once the female lead takes the lion's share, you'll only get a few scraps.

To return to the real world, you need a lot of contribution points.

After a brief silence, she quickly flipped through the Quick Transmigration Host Manual and confirmed that there was no division of transmigrators' ranks in it.

Since it's not against the rules, as long as the male lead falls in love with her, she can rightfully take away most of the contribution points.

Sensing her thoughts, the system immediately issued a warning.

[Please act according to the issued tasks and do not disrupt the main questline.]

Lin Zhenzhen chuckled softly but didn't say anything.

She knew that although the system's ranking system was very complex, one of the most important criteria was the contribution value obtained by its host. Not only were there competitions between hosts, but also between systems.

It's worth a try no matter what.

During a short rest in the car, Lin Zhenzhen reviewed the current information once again.

The original owner's name was Lin Zhen, a once somewhat famous but now completely forgotten has-been star.

Four years ago, Lin Zhen debuted in a low-budget web series and became an instant hit as the second female lead, whose character was not particularly outstanding.

It must be said that Lin Zhen has a certain talent when it comes to acting.

Unfortunately, she put all her skill points into her looks, and her acting skills are absolutely terrible.

Back then, she mostly acted in mindless romantic dramas. Audiences just wanted to see handsome men and beautiful women fall in love and show affection, so they were quite tolerant of her awkward acting skills.

So Lin Zhen's career has actually been on the rise for the past few years. But just when fans were praising Lin Zhen's promising future to the skies, a turning point came.

Someone, envious of her resources, deliberately set a trap by taking intimate photos of her and a certain director using camera angles.

The malicious rumors were already enough to plunge her into a quagmire, but to make matters worse, in order not to offend the powerful director's wife, the company forced Lin Zhen to take the blame with an exorbitant breach of contract fee.

The incident ended with Lin Zhen's apology video, in which she admitted to the affair and used extreme measures, such as burning herself with cigarette butts, to beg for public forgiveness.

Endorsements terminated, contracts dissolved, and Lin Zhen was condemned by everyone. It only took her twenty-four hours to fall from heaven to hell.

The huge psychological gap made Lin Zhen's heart more and more twisted and paranoid. Just then, she received an invitation from the program team of "Heartbeat Number".

What followed was a series of typical villainous supporting character tropes: she sacrificed herself to illuminate the male and female leads. Shortly after the show aired, 26-year-old Lin Zhen jumped from a high-rise building in the city center, her life cut short.

At this moment, Lin Zhenzhen was on her way to the recording site of a variety show.

She clicked on the comments under the official Weibo account of the "Heartbeat Number Plate" app, and sure enough, it was full of criticism.

[Lin Zhen participating in a dating reality show? Does nobody remember her being a homewrecker? Is the show promoting unhealthy views on marriage and relationships?]

【Ahhhhh, Lin Zhen, please stay away from my husband Zhou Gan! Although I believe my husband is only focused on computer code, I'm still worried!】

[Upstairs, don't be so sure, your husband mentioned his type in an early interview video, and when you compare him to Lin Zhen, it's exactly the same.]

[Don't worry! Isn't it rumored that Zhou Gan hates the entertainment industry the most? A sophisticated and wealthy man like him would never look at these kinds of actors. I've already got my little stool ready, waiting to see how Lin Zhen will react to being snubbed.]

Lin Zhenzhen took a closer look at the ID of this comment.

He silently replied in his heart: Not only did he fall for her, but he also cried very sadly when they broke up.

Looking back on Lin Zhen's life, her biggest mistake was kicking Zhou Gan, who was penniless at the time, to the curb for the sake of her career.

With half an hour to go before filming officially begins, Lin Zhenzhen opened her makeup bag and touched up her makeup.

The woman in the mirror has exquisite features and a stunning appearance; she certainly has the looks to make a living.

But in this cutthroat world of fame and fortune, there is no shortage of all kinds of pretty faces.

Lin Zhenzhen smiled. The first little world she knew best was the entertainment industry. Was this a newbie perk?

Lush tropical trees flashed past the car window, and soon their car stopped in front of a three-story villa.

This season's show has been completely revamped, adopting a combination of live and pre-recorded formats. There are four male and four female guests, and the final pairings are the only successful pairings.

Besides the male lead Zhou Gan, the male guests include Sheng An, a second-generation rich kid whose family runs a business, Gu Kaile, a young university professor, and Yu Heze, a folk singer who loves various stringed instruments.
