"Task completed, proceed to the next world?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, my dear ancestor, why haven’t you gotten up yet? The production crew is coming this afternoon, aren’t you going to clean up the house? Look at this mess."
That was how Ye Qiu felt, drowsily hearing an incessant nagging voice by her ear, like a nagging old mother.
That’s what she thought, and subconsciously blurted out.
The female voice paused, seemingly a bit angry and helpless: "Alright, alright, I’m the old nag, okay? Please take this seriously for once, don’t get criticized again, haven’t you seen what they’re saying about you online?"
"I know, let me sleep for another half hour," Ye Qiu murmured.
"Just half an hour then, I’ll tidy up the outside first."
After the woman left, Ye Qiu began to recall the plot in her mind.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, realizing her previous life was one of a throwaway supporting character, originally dealt a good hand but ended up disastrously defeated.
And the task in this life, besides changing her own destiny, was to prevent the male supporting character from turning evil, and give him happiness.
Thinking of her past life’s events, Ye Qiu finally chose the skill of Hacker God.
The point in time she was traversing should be the beginning when she started getting intensely critiqued, during a reality show where she displayed her ignorance and arrogance, and disparaged another emerging starlet with popularity and acting skills.
Ironically, this starlet turned out to be the female lead of this world. How could she, just a throwaway character, possibly turn her situation around? Consequently, her career plunged to depths, and later on, even her own small entertainment company suffered attacks from the starlet’s celebrity boyfriend, leading to bankruptcy.
The reality show was called "Floral Years," and invited guests included Ye Qiu, the female lead Chu Weiwei, as well as two youthful artists: another newbie starlet Cao Miaomiao, who was neck and neck with Chu Weiwei, and Li Xingzi, a champion from a singing competition.
All four are highly talked-about celebrities in the entertainment industry right now, and all are young and beautiful female artists. Their participation has garnered significant attention, and today is the first day of shooting, which starts at each of the female artist’s home.
The main content of the program is to record the daily lives of these four female artists. The crew didn’t provide a script; it’s entirely up to the artists to perform, and whether there are cameras or talking points also depends entirely on themselves.
The original protagonist, due to her impatient and unpleasant nature, committed many foolish acts to create buzz in the program. She even smartly slandered and suppressed the female lead during mutual visits, not realizing that the netizens of today are very smart and can detect and uncover the full process very easily. Consequently, in her past life, Ye Qiu became viewed as a symbol of beauty yet stupidity.
Reflecting on her past life, Ye Qiu sighed, then briskly got out of bed, quickly tidied up her room, and changed into a set of simple and elegant clothes. Her hair looked a bit messy but still aesthetically pleasing.
She looked at her face in the mirror; it was extremely beautiful, but because of her usual arrogance, her looks seemed unapproachable. With a slight lift of her eyebrows, an image of a proud and haughty eldest lady appeared instantly.
Though she looked hard to approach, for some reason, she seemed somewhat tsundere, appearing like a spoiled and naive eldest lady that wasn’t entirely unlikeable.
Ye Qiu made several expressions, and finally settled on one that didn’t reveal her true nature yet matched her original emotional state.
Perhaps it was because she had been in the entertainment industry for a year or two, her skin had become somewhat dull due to makeup products. She immediately used the Spiritual Spring Water as a base and then applied a daily makeup look. From the mirror, the eldest lady inside seemed even more beautiful and imperious.
With this makeup, as expected, her agent Sister Hong was only slightly surprised but didn’t suspect. She nodded in agreement, "This makeup is good, no need for me to arrange a special makeup artist. Too much would actually ruin the effect for the show."
Ye Qiu is signed under her own small entertainment company, and Sister Hong is the best agent in the company, dedicated solely to managing Ye Qiu, truly taking her interests at heart.
In her past life, Sister Hong had advised Ye Qiu to temper her mood and not be so pampered, reducing pomp and circumstance. But Ye Qiu wouldn’t listen; even just going out for a walk she had to wear haute couture, attracting frequent glances from passers-by and resulting in a rather embarrassing broadcast of the program.
"My little ancestor, when the crew comes over later, please don’t lose your temper, keep your personality in check, and don’t attract hatred," Sister Hong earnestly persuaded.
"Ah, I know, you’re so naggy, Sister Hong," Ye Qiu wrinkled her nose and spoke impatiently, but her tone inadvertently carried a hint of coquetry.
Sister Hong shook her head helplessly, but looked at her indulgently.
Sister Hong knew that although her artist had a bad temperament, she wasn’t a bad person; she was just spoiled. Everything prioritized her, and at the slightest dissatisfaction, she’d throw a tantrum. It was manageable within the company since she was the boss’s daughter and everyone indulged her.
But the entertainment industry isn’t ruled by one person. If her temper didn’t improve, she might suffer in this circle. But what could she do as her agent, anyway? She just had to do her best to support her.
"Sister Hong, don’t worry. I’m so pretty, who wouldn’t like me?" Ye Qiu raised her eyebrows, truly looking stunning.
Sister Hong looked at her face and could only give a bitter smile internally – it was just this face that was appealing.
Since Ye Qiu had previously caused trouble on set and attracted negative attention, Sister Hong had not taken on any jobs for her recently, asking her to focus solely on doing well in this variety show. Therefore, after organizing her home, Ye Qiu had nothing else to do but wait for the program crew to arrive. However, there were still two hours before their arrival, and she decided to take a walk around the neighborhood.
She remembered that the male supporting character who had ended up disliking her had bought an apartment in the same complex just to get closer to her. Could she encounter him outside?
Speaking of his turning evil, it was partly her fault as well. Knowing he liked her, she still used his methods to get closer to the male lead, making him increasingly jealous. Eventually, when she was universally slandered online, he added fuel to the fire, hoping to confine her to his side.
It turned out that the original owner couldn’t bear the pressure and died before the male supporting character could confine her.
The male supporting character, believing he was responsible for Ye Qiu’s death, became further disillusioned. After striking at the male and female leads, he planned to follow Ye Qiu in death, but his actions were exposed before he could harm the leads, and he died while being chased by the police.
