Chapter 1: She's Retiring from the Entertainment Industry - Jiang Mingyue Cries with Joy! She Transmigrates into a Male...
"Producer Liu, we're entrusting this role of Tan Li to you."
"Sure, let's go. Close the door behind you."
"Okay, I'll be right there. Call me when you're done, and I'll take the person with me."
A rustling sound arose, along with footsteps, the sound of a door closing, and the acrid smell of smoke.
The man with the receding hairline and large belly grinned lewdly and smugly, squinting his eyes as he impatiently walked to the bedside.
A stunning woman lay on the bed near the window; the young girl, wearing a black halter-neck dress, was fast asleep with her eyes closed.
The man bent down and gently patted the girl's face. "You stubborn little brat, didn't you end up being sold out by your agent? Young man, huh, I'm going to give you a good beating tonight."
As he finished speaking, his hand moved downwards, about to trace the curves of her legs, when out of the corner of his eye he unexpectedly met the girl's open eyes. Her fierce, cheetah-like gaze was filled with bloodthirsty cruelty.
The man felt a chill run down his spine; he was utterly terrified.
The next second, before he could even speak, his right wrist went numb, and he fell to the ground in pain, howling like a banshee.
Jiang Mingyue suddenly sat up, staring wide-eyed as she looked around.
Warm yellow wallpaper, a plain television, white sheets, and a sleazy middle-aged man on the floor—is this a hotel?!
The real world!
Jiang Mingyue had no interest in dealing with the naked, shirtless, lewd man. She first grabbed her phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time. Huh? Strange! Why is the flow of time different?!
If she remembered correctly, she attended a dinner organized by her agent tonight, was forced to drink a bottle of beer, and was resting on the sofa in the private room when she was suddenly taken away by a white light and inexplicably transmigrated into a male-oriented system novel!
The story begins with the protagonist's soul being swapped into the male lead's body. He is forced to learn various survival skills, level up and fight monsters along the way, and also has to be on guard against being pounced on by the female lead in the book. There is no time to rest at all. His nerves are forced to be wound up, and he is always on edge. He overcomes all obstacles and finally becomes the true god of the book's world.
She thought she could travel back in time, but after traveling through one book after another, just when she thought she was trapped in an infinite loop of traveling through books, she unexpectedly traveled back in time again.
Jiang Mingyue burst into tears of joy. She had transmigrated through more than a dozen male-oriented system novels, and now, finally, she had really transmigrated back!
Decades of time can be reduced to just half an hour in the real world!
Wait! Jiang Mingyue's eyes widened in alarm as she cautiously surveyed her surroundings.
Great! There was no strange white light, no floating computer screen, and no familiar system voice in her mind. Excitedly, she jumped out of bed and ran straight to the bathroom.
Producer Liu, feeling dizzy and nauseous, angrily got up from the ground, his face ashen, and chased after the man to the bathroom door, where he began to curse loudly.
Jiang Mingyue ignored the angry shouts outside and couldn't wait to observe everything around her.
In the bathroom, which was even more spacious than her company dormitory, she stared intently at herself in the mirror, then took a deep breath, raised her right hand and right leg, and in the next second, she leaped into the air and performed a set of Five Animal Frolics exercises to loosen her muscles and bones!
Five minutes later, Jiang Mingyue leaned against the sink, panting, secretly delighted.
To verify her hypothesis, she picked up the elastic rope lying on the sink platform and quickly wove a cartoon pig with her nimble hands.
The cartoon pig has a bulging belly and an adorable appearance; its workmanship is no worse than those sold in the market!
Jiang Mingyue laughed silently. As she laughed, tears streamed down her face. She had brought back the survival skills she had learned when she transmigrated into the book!
God has been kind to her. With these skills to make a living, she no longer wants to be in the cutthroat entertainment industry. She no longer wants to be forced by her company to smear those top male celebrities in order to gain attention, traffic, and fans!
Despite not being good at dancing or even liking it, she has been practicing incredibly hard to make a living and to join a group, yet she's still being criticized by netizens for slacking off...
Thinking of the unbearable past five years, Jiang Mingyue was furious. To hell with the entertainment industry! To hell with her girl group dream! She was leaving the industry!
Outside the bathroom, the impatient roar of the bald, lewd man echoed once more.
Jiang Mingyue snapped out of her daze, her spirits lifted, and she washed her face with cold water before finally remembering who the other person was.
Liu Qiang, a notorious producer in the industry, specifically targets newcomers who lack support. Countless girls have fallen victim to his schemes. It is said that he has powerful backing, and no one has dared to do anything about him.
So you have powerful backing?
Jiang Mingyue scoffed. Today, she would show him what it meant to be outmatched and have a world beyond your understanding!
Jiang Mingyue flung open the bathroom door, yelling, "Who are you cursing, you brat?!"
Liu Qiang stumbled, nearly losing his balance, but quickly grabbed the doorframe and stared at Jiang Mingyue in disbelief. "What did you say?!"
"Are you deaf?!" Jiang Mingyue raised her foot and kicked Liu Qiang's knee, but she held back her strength so as not to break his bone.
With a loud thud, Liu Qiang fell backward, taking a hard fall! He grimaced in pain again, tears streaming down his face.
Jiang Mingyue's face turned cold, and she walked towards Liu Qiang without saying a word.
Liu Qiang was startled by the girl's sudden transformation. Just half an hour ago, this girl had been cowering in the private room, unable to utter a word of anger. Now, she had transformed into someone with an aura of dominance over the world.
The roles were reversed; he became the quail to be slaughtered, and she became the executioner.
"Heh, the thief crying 'stop thief'?" Jiang Mingyue flicked the elastic rope in her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "How do you use this rope?"
Liu Qiang's pupils contracted. What was she planning to do?!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Mingyue used the elastic rope in her hand to tie Liu Qiang to the chair and then sealed his mouth with tape.
"You've got quite a full set of low-class stuff, huh? You must use these to bully young girls quite often, right?"
The coffee table was covered with odds and ends, including condoms, candles, tape, belts, and other obscene sex toys. Jiang Mingyue picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table and, in front of Liu Qiang, performed a beautiful knife-spinning trick.
Her features were aloof and cold, her eyes sharp, her gaze fixed intently on Liu Qiang.
The girl in front of him twirled the fruit knife so skillfully that Liu Qiang was dazzled and afraid that the knife would stab him at any moment.
Liu Qiang struggled to move around, but somehow the girl had tied the rope so tightly that the more he moved, the tighter it became, causing him stomach pain.
Jiang Mingyue didn't want to waste any more time with him, so she walked to the bedside table, picked up his phone, and unlocked it with his index finger.
Her phone was not with her, and her handbag had also disappeared.
"If you want to leave here alive tonight, tell me honestly who's behind this. I'm confiscating your phone, but I'll give it back to you after I copy the recordings and videos."
"My goal is very simple. I just want to retire from the entertainment industry smoothly. Liu Qiang, I know you have powerful connections. Let me tell you, those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those with something to lose. I am an orphan. If you dare to settle scores later, I guarantee I will make you wish you were dead."
Jiang Mingyue turned on the recording function, placed it on the long table, and propped it up with a water glass.
She tore off the tape sealing Liu Qiang's mouth, and at the same time held a fruit knife to his scrotum, saying, "If you don't want to be childless, tell me the truth!"
"Everything I said is true! I swear I would never lie to you. You should have seen the reports from various marketing accounts online. Taiqi Video website is releasing a new historical drama, 'The Beauty of Youth,' this year. All sorts of artists are vying for this role. Your agent wants Tan Li to play a memorable third female lead..."
Jiang Mingyue belongs to Xinghui Entertainment. Last year, she participated in a girl group audition program and formed the Clover Limited Girl Group with Tan Li and Liu Moer from Shengda Guangnian Entertainment. The limited period was one year, and it will be one year at the end of next month.
In the first six months after the group was formed, Clover was at the height of its popularity and enjoyed a period of great success.
Later, more girl groups and boy groups were launched in the market. The market share was only so big, and the competition was fierce. In addition, their group did not release any new songs, and the other two members were either busy filming or participating in variety shows, so their number of fans soared.
She was in poor health and had only a pretty face, but no other talents, so she gradually faded into obscurity.
Very well, agent Zhu Min is biased. For the sake of Tan Li from Shengda Guangnian, she actually betrayed her and dumped her on the despicable Liu Qiang.
She'll remember this debt!
Jiang Mingyue snapped out of her daze and glanced at him sideways.
Liu Qiang felt uneasy under her gaze. The girl's eyes were terrifying, as if she had crawled out of hell, making him feel terrified and scared.
"I've said everything I needed to say... You can't go back on your word..."
Jiang Mingyue sneered, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, women never keep their word. Now, tell me all the dirty things you've done over the years, and your backers. If you don't, I'll let you taste what it's like to be a tough nut to crack."
Liu Qiang: "..." Help! He wanted to call the police!
