Chapter 127 Entertainment Industry: The Original Female Lead, a Stunning Actress, VS a Younger Top-T
Ruan Bingyu is already considered a minor character; she only appears after the character played by Su Jinyue, the Imperial Concubine, is written out of the story.
In the story, after the death of the imperial concubine, the emperor began to miss her. He happened to see a maid in the royal garden and felt that she looked somewhat like his imperial concubine, so he let her enter the palace and gave her the rank of concubine.
Ruan Bingyu got the role because she bore a resemblance to Su Jinyue.
In fact, the original Ruan Bingyu and Su Jinyue were not similar at all.
Originally, Ruan Bingyu was an internet celebrity. Her life wasn't extremely wealthy, but she was comfortable enough to have enough to eat and wear.
But as fate would have it, she died suddenly from staying up all night after a live broadcast, and her body was then possessed.
Ruan Bingyu from another world awakens within her body.
Ruan Bingyu, who had transmigrated, knew that this was a world of entertainment, and that she absolutely loved the male protagonist, Feng Tang, in the book.
Now that Ruan Bingyu has entered the world of the book, she wants to be with Feng Tang.
Moreover, she had also signed a contract with the Superstar System, which gave her even more confidence!
Having learned about the original owner's situation, Ruan Bingyu used the original owner's status as an internet celebrity to get in touch with a top influencer and then win him over.
The top influencer is a rich second-generation heir, and quite wealthy.
Ruan Bingyu first used the points she obtained from a top player on the strategy leaderboard to change her appearance.
The original owner wasn't pretty enough. If she were to become an internet celebrity, she could rely on beauty filters, but not as an actress.
So the first thing Ruan Bingyu did after getting points was to make herself more beautiful, and because it was a world in a book, she also wanted to be with the male protagonist, Feng Tang.
She changed her appearance to resemble Su Jinyue.
Ruan Bingyu thought that Su Jinyue in the book was still beautiful, otherwise why would someone as high and mighty as Feng Tang like her?
With the Superstar System, Ruan Bingyu can become even more beautiful than Su Jinyue. When Feng Tang sees the two of them, will he even need to think about who to choose?
Changing one's appearance is the first step.
The second step was to use the money from the top spender to get Ruan Bingyu into a small web series, where she played the second female lead.
Before transmigrating into the book, Ruan Bingyu was also an actress, albeit a relatively unknown one, but she still had some acting skills.
When this web series aired, it became a minor hit online because of its good plot, non-outrageous storyline, and solid acting.
Ruan Bingyu also gained some fame because of her likable role as the second female lead.
Ruan Bingyu chose this drama because the web series based on the book was also a hit, making it easier to achieve success.
This also makes it easier for her to win over the male lead of this short web series.
Ruan Bingyu's Superstar System relies on strategy points and affection points to earn points.
"Strategy Points" are points she earns by making specific people like or even fall in love with her, based on the amount of "Strategy Points" she has.
The points earned vary depending on the individual.
The "like value" is the amount of admiration and adoration fans have for her.
However, the exchange rate between Affection Points and Strategy Points is different; 1000 Affection Points are needed to exchange for 1 point!
The points earned vary depending on who completes the mission.
For example, the top player on the leaderboard who was conquered by Ruan Bingyu could get 9 points when he reached level 90;
However, when she successfully seduced the male lead of a web series, reaching a success rate of 90, she still received 90 points!
So generally speaking, strategy points are more valuable than affection points.
Ruan Bingyu chose to pursue the male lead of that short web series not only because she could gain more points, but also because the male lead was likely to become famous in the future, which would bring her more resources.
Ruan Bingyu was able to enter the Hundred Flowers Awards banquet because of the male lead, thus ruining Feng Tang and Su Jinyue's first meeting.
But now
Ruan Bingyu hid in the crowd, glaring at Su Jinyue, who was dressed in the radiant attire of an imperial concubine, and gritted her teeth fiercely.
She clearly drugged Su Jinyue at the Hundred Flowers Awards banquet and notified paparazzi, so how did she manage to escape?
Is it because Su Jinyue is the female lead in the book and has a protagonist's halo?
However, Ruan Bingyu had already transmigrated into the book!
After transmigrating into the book, she became the female lead. Su Jinyue shouldn't be having such a smooth journey.
Moreover, Ruan Bingyu remembered that Su Jinyue, whom she had seen at the Hundred Flowers Awards, did not look so glamorous. How come Su Jinyue's appearance is even better now than before?
Even though Ruan Bingyu had already used points to exchange for beauty, she still couldn't compare to Su Jinyue!
How awful!
Seeing Su Jinyue attracting everyone's attention, Ruan Bingyu was unwilling to give up and mentally called upon the system.
"System, Su Jinyue was clearly drugged last time, how could she still escape? Is it because of the protagonist's halo?"
[This question is beyond the scope of the system's answering capabilities. Would the host like to use points to investigate the cause?]
"Can't even answer this question? What are you doing, system?"
[Sensing the host's disrespect for this superstar system, a verbal warning is issued! A second offense will result in a random deduction of products redeemed by the host!]
"System, system, I didn't mean to. Please don't deduct it."
Ruan Bingyu quickly begged for mercy. Although the system made her more beautiful, it also imposed many restrictions on her.
Everything costs points. After transmigrating into the book, Ruan Bingyu used the points she gained, besides changing her appearance, to sabotage the plot and frame Su Jinyue.
After completing these two tasks, she had very few points left.
No, I need to earn points quickly.
Ruan Bingyu looked at the items in the system's shopping mall—things she couldn't afford, like skin as smooth as ice and bones, mermaid-like enchanting voices, and slender waists—and she was very envious of them all.
However, Ruan Bingyu looked at Su Jinyue taking her costume photos with envy and jealousy in her eyes.
"System, do you know why Su Jinyue has become more beautiful again?"
[This question is beyond the scope of the system's answering capabilities. Would the host like to use points to investigate the cause?]
"How many points does this question require?"
The system paused for a few seconds before responding.
[15 points. Are you sure you want to ask, host?]
Ruan Bingyu gritted her teeth; 15 points was still within her means.
"Sure!"
[Okay, points have been deducted. Please wait, host.]
About a minute later, the system finally responded.
The reason Su Jinyue became more beautiful was because she obtained a beauty product. This product had remarkable effects, making Su Jinyue even more beautiful than before.
Ruan Bingyu's eyes lit up. What product could be so effective?
"System, can you get your hands on that beauty product?"
[This question is beyond the scope of the system's answering capabilities. Would the host like to use points to investigate the cause?]
Ruan Bingyu clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and managed to suppress the curses that were about to spill from her mouth.
"No need." What's the point of this system? Asking a question costs points; doesn't she know she doesn't have many points left?
