Chuzheng woke up and found herself lying on a bed in a foul-smelling small room.

She laid on her bed while keeping still.

‘Why am I here?’

‘Oh right…’

‘I met a system called King which said that she was dead and had to complete missions before she went back…’

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Chuzheng furrowed her eyebrows slightly as something felt off about her memories.

[Little miss.]A light-hearted voice was heard. [For the sake of your health, the previous universe’s memories have been sealed~Of course, I am a very humane system so if you wish to regain your memories, you can check it whenever you wish to do so.]

She remembered that she had done a mission but she could not remember the exact details.

“No need,” rejected Chuzheng expressionlessly. Her only wish was to go back home so the details of the mission did not matter to her.

The memories that were sealed only included the details and hence she still had an idea of the overall mission.

“Why wasn’t there any data provided?” After the first universe ended, she came here directly and did not even have time to take a breather.

‘Is this still considered humane?’

‘What type of humane is this?’

‘It’s so shameless for an unknown system to claim that it is very humane.’

[…Little miss, those are all fake and we are not obligated to provide data.]

[Little miss, please accept the new storyline in this universe~]

Chuzheng’s mind was immediately flooded with countless memories.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Her new identity was called Gu Chuzheng.

She came from a normal family and after she dropped out of high school, she came to Qingteng. As she loved acting, she took up some walk-on roles at the Film Studios.

The proprietress looked very pretty but she was not professionally trained in the acting field. She also had a stubborn personality and refused to be restrained by rules and regulations. As such, she was not able to get good acting roles.

Coincidentally, her audition for a drama miraculously passed and she got the role for the third female lead.

However, before she even got a chance to act in it, she was suddenly informed that she did not have to go to the set anymore.

The proprietress was very confused and went around asking for an explanation. However, before she could even get an explanation, she saw her roommate, Liu Manman getting into the same car as the director of the drama.

She had been in the acting industry for so long and so, how could she not understand what was going on?

After Liu Manman came back, the proprietress went to question her.

However, Liu Manman boldly claimed that she got the role through her own ability.

The proprietress naturally could not outtalk Liu Manman. With that drama, Liu Manman became famous overnight. She even signed a contract with a big company and became a leading actress.

Liu Manman’s acting career continued to prosper while the proprietress continued taking on walk-on roles. This continued until a director noticed her and felt that her presence and looks matched the female lead of the new drama.

The proprietress thought she could finally prove herself with her own abilities.

However, before she could even celebrate, Liu Manman invested in the drama and stole the role from her. The director felt that it was not very nice of her and left a role for her.

Since Liu Manman was an investor, she could kick the proprietress out of the drama, but she did not. She kept the proprietress and thought of ways to torture her during the filming process.

Yet, in the eyes of an outsider, it seemed as though the proprietress’ acting was very poor and was only delaying the filming process.

A while later, Liu Manman got into a scandal with another male celebrity. But she was afraid that her financial backer would get angry and used the proprietress as her scapegoat.

The proprietress was left to fend for herself and in the end, she took the blame for her. The proprietress could only blame herself for having a similar figure as Liu Manman as well as Liu Manman’s evil plans.

On the other hand, the male celebrity pushed the blame on her to prove his innocence. He even claimed that she seduced him because she wanted to become popular and climb up the corporate ladder.

Back then, the proprietress could not clear her name and the rumors and scandals online almost destroyed her acting career.

Initially, the proprietress was still able to deal with the haters’ comments, but the haters only became worse and dirtied her name. No matter what she said, nobody believed her.

In the end, she could not take it anymore and took her own life.

She was not a popular actor and as such, nobody cared if she had suicided or not. Her news was quickly covered up by other popular news and it was as if she had never existed before.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The current timeline was that Liu Manman had just stolen her role and the proprietress was insulted by Liu Manman. As such, she was very hurt by it and caught a cold.

However, she did not feel any discomfort and it was probably because she had taken over the body and hence her health became better.

[Little miss, due to your outstanding performance previously, I will tweak the rules and regulations.]The system emphasized on the word ‘outstanding’.

Chuzheng’s eyes turned cold as her tone sounded a little fierce. “You can change the rules however you like?”

[…]’Little miss, you don’t have to be so fierce!’ [It’s… It’s for the sake of Little miss.]

‘If it wasn’t because you always think of killing people and refuse to spend money, do I have to work so hard?’

‘I’ve also gone through a lot to let Little miss spend money!’

‘Can’t Little miss learn from our neighboring Little miss?’

[Little miss only needs to spend money but the value of the money and object need not be equal. However, you still cannot throw, donate, give or destroy, etc.]

The rule simply changed from spending two dollars to buy a two dollars worth bottle of mineral water to spending a hundred dollars to buy a two dollars worth bottle of mineral water.

[Main mission: Please spend ten million dollars in two hours. The money is already in your bank account so please check it.]

Chuzheng was shocked. “…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Repeat that again.” She did not seem to have heard it clearly just now.

[Main mission: Please spend ten million dollars in two hours. The money is already in your bank account so please check it.]King repeated the sentence without missing a single word.

Chuzheng was shocked. “…”

‘Wasn’t the amount supposed to increase as the mission goes?’

‘Why is it that the first time I came to this universe it was already ten million dollars?!’

‘Bastard, don’t get too cocky!’

[Little miss, the universe is different so the amount will naturally be different.]King explained, [Besides, the previous universe was a beginner universe and was just to let Little miss get used to it.]

The system was very nice!

Unlike some other evil systems that gave hell-like missions.

Chuzheng touched her forehead and used the bed to support herself up.

‘How am I going to spend ten million dollars in two hours?’

‘Buy a villa?’

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

‘But I also have to know where to buy it right?’

Just based on the little knowledge the proprietress has, it was impossible for her to finish the mission in two hours.

She looked for the proprietress’ phone and saw a drama script underneath the phone. Chuzheng took the script out.

“The Allure of the Phoenix Princess”was the drama that the proprietress successfully auditioned for however, it was stolen away by Liu Manman.

The drama was not a big production, but it was very successful when it was shown on television.

Not just Liu Manman, many people from the drama also became popular.

Chuzheng turned on the phone and the first notification on the screen was that she had received ten million dollars.

Chuzheng searched for the director’s contact number.

She called the director and it took a while before someone answered it. The opposing party had not even waited for Chuzheng to speak and said angrily, “Miss Gu, I have told you many times. You are not suitable for this role and if there are still other chances, we can collaborate, alright?”

It was obvious that the proprietress had called many times and the director was going crazy because of her calls.

“I want to invest ten million dollars.”

“Miss Gu, I am very busy. If you don’t have anything on…” The director paused. “What did you say just now?”

“I want to invest ten million dollars,” said Chuzheng.

The director seemed to have choked as the other side of the phone was very noisy.

“Miss Gu, you are not trying to amuse me, right?”

“I am very busy and have no time to amuse you.” ‘I only have two hours! I am very busy!’

Director: “…” His words were thrown back at him.

This lady had come for an audition once, although her foundation was not very good, she looked pretty…

But was she really that rich?

The director was a little suspicious, but their drama was really in need of investors.

“Miss Gu, where are you now? We can meet up and discuss?”

“We will meet at the film studio.” She lived very close to the Film Studios while the director should be a little further away from it, but meeting at the Film Studios was the fastest method.
