Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Upon reaching the basement level, following the original owner's memories, she was just about to open the car door to go home when she suddenly saw a burst of bright light coming from the entrance of the parking lot not far away.

Countless lights, reporters, and cameras surrounded her in an instant.

"Ms. Yu, what are your thoughts on the Yu family's bankruptcy?"

"Having suddenly gone from being a rich heiress to being like this, what are your thoughts?"

"I heard that you sold the Yu family's villa in the central garden to pay off debts. Is that true?"

"I heard that your group of girlfriends quickly fell apart after the Yu family went bankrupt. What are your thoughts on this?"

Yes, that's my opinion.

The original owner wasn't that miserable.

The Yu family went bankrupt, their assets were confiscated, and what was sold was all of Yu's father's property. Yu himself still had a car, a house, and a considerable amount of savings. How did things turn out so badly?

And the media is so unethical!

My father had only recently passed away, and these people were already hurting a girl who was just twenty years old and still in college?

Yu Ci said that if he didn't say a few nice words to these people, they wouldn't know that even a clay figure has some temper.

However, at this very moment—

[Ding! Host detected as being 'bullied,' in tears. Activation initiated!]

What the hell?

Yu Ci had no idea what was happening; she only felt a sudden coolness on her face. Then, the reporter in front of her suddenly raised his camera and started taking pictures.

"..."

More than ten minutes later, Yu Ci, with a cold face, finally pushed everyone aside and got into his car.

She honked twice, turned on her headlights, and sped out of the underground parking lot.

-

"Lily, come out here and explain to me what this 'pear blossom in the rain' thing is?" Yu Ci was practically kneeling before this thing.

[It's nothing, Miss Yu Ci, did you even notice? It's just a small prop!]

[It can make you feel like Lin Daiyu, all soft and delicate, like a pear blossom in the rain, so that no one can bear to treat you anymore... hehehe.]

"..."

"So, the newbie gift pack you gave me was just to make me cry beautifully?"

【Forehead……】

To put it bluntly, without much cultural knowledge, that's certainly true. But don't forget, you can make someone cry beautifully! Like a pear blossom in the rain, tears streaming down one's face—it's heartbreaking to see you like that.

"Then tell me, why didn't those reporters in the parking lot feel any pity when they saw me cry?" What a load of rubbish! What kind of pity? Yu Ci only knew that after she inexplicably cried, the group of reporters went into a frenzy, raising their cameras high and asking one hurtful question after another.

Let me analyze this first.

About five minutes later, the damn system came back.

[After doing the math, I realized that the people who took your picture that day were after the money. Your tearful appearance wasn't as appealing to them as the money, so—]

"So it's useless?"

"Just how useless is this skill?"

[Um, this question is beyond the system's permissions; the system cannot answer it.]

"..." Yu Ci, who really wanted to swear, shut his mouth after seeing his own gentle and beautiful face in the mirror.

"Can this skill be controlled?"

Sorry, this world passive skill cannot be turned off.

"..."

Having lost all desire to chat with the system, Yu Ci shut up, went to the computer, and began gathering information.

It's evening now, and the video of the parking lot being blocked this morning has gone viral.

After briefly browsing the comments under the trending topics on Weibo, I have to say that netizens in this world have very positive values.

Under the Weibo post titled "#Video# Missed out on the status of a rich heiress, actually!" by Entertainment Extreme Report v: a group of people criticized them.

She's so cute: Is this newspaper stupid? She's just lost her status as a rich heiress, right? I hope your family never leaves you...

Ah Xing: Six, is this newspaper getting more and more clueless? Where is its humanity?

Yuanshi Tianzun: What can I say? A third-rate media outlet is third-rate; all they know is how to do this kind of thing.

Magician: I feel so sorry for the young lady... she looks so pitiful crying.

Salty Fish: Feeling sorry for the girl +1

Da Bei: It hurts so much...

Good, no scandals.

Yu Ci was planning to apply for a job as an agent or assistant to enter the entertainment industry and get in touch with Gu Qiushui. He just hoped that he wouldn't cause any scandals before then, otherwise... it would be a headache.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

She closed the webpage and started browsing online for news related to Gu Qiushui.

Currently, he is the only artist in Changtian Studio, which is affiliated with Starlight Entertainment Company.

See if she's hiring an assistant lately... If she's not, see if her company is hiring. In short, being close to the source, you can always try to get a feel for things first.

But what on earth is this Starlight Studio?

Do you really need a bachelor's degree or higher to hire a personal assistant?

Yu Ci, a student at Harvard who dropped out due to financial difficulties and inability to pay tuition: ? ? ?

I suddenly feel a bit lost, what should I do?

……

Fortunately, this confusion did not last long.

Because Yu Ci received a phone call.

A phone call from an agent who had once been favored by the Yu family.

"Miss Yu."

"I'm not some kind of 'Miss' anymore, just call me by my name."

"I heard about the Yu family's situation and I deeply regret not being able to help. The matter you asked me to do before has been resolved, but—"

"Ms. Yu, I heard you still have studies to complete at Harvard. Are you really going to enter the entertainment industry at this time?"

Chapter 41 This young lady is such a weakling!

Under normal circumstances, if someone owns a car and a house, and is studying at Harvard, they would definitely sell the car and house to finish their studies first. But—

Yuci's case is rather special.

She was going to see Gu Qiushui and get to know him.

If you can't become an assistant or agent, then entering the fashion or entertainment industry is the best option.

The original owner studied art at Harvard, so entering the fashion industry was impossible. Therefore, the only option was the entertainment industry.

"Sister Zhao, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I've already made up my mind." As Yu Ci spoke, the original owner's memories, hidden in some obscure corner, slowly surfaced.

After her family went bankrupt, she did call Zhao Ruyi, the agent her family had previously helped, hoping to use Zhao Ruyi as a stepping stone to enter the entertainment industry, become a top movie star, and then, while working, start a company to recreate the glory of the Yu family.

The wish to recapture past glory is probably impossible to fulfill, but Yu Ci stated that entering the entertainment industry is something he can do.

“Okay.” Zhao Ruyi has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry in recent years, so it’s not difficult for her to find a role for a pretty newcomer with some fame. “I’ll just tell you about this, and I’ll send the script to your email later.”

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Yu Ci closed the webpage and opened his WPS.

Great, the assistant path is completely out of the question. Now we can look at the script and decide which route to take.

The script Zhao Ruyi sent was called "Jiangshan Ruhua," a second-tier investment in the industry. The role she found for Yu Ci was the third female lead in the drama, the male lead's gentle and lovely younger sister. Because the role was rather stereotypical, the requirements for appearance were higher than the requirements for acting skills.

After a cursory glance at the plot, Yu Ci called upon the Yuri System.

"This story involves a significant portion of the entertainment industry. Didn't you ever think of giving me a cheat code like plastic surgery or acting skills?"

【Yes, I have.】

"Your chance has come, go ahead and open it."

[I have the idea, but not the ability #pickingnose#. Acting skills are a cheat code; you need at least a level 2 system to unlock them, and I'm only level 1, so I can't.]

"..."

"Then what should I do?"

"Just act it out." The system's voice seemed to carry a hint of amusement. "Didn't the book say that even infants have the ability to learn and imitate? You're already 20 years old, much more capable than a child. Acting out such a simple script shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"..."

I really wanted to greet the system's father.

After a difficult twenty-minute argument with the system, she realized one thing clearly: in this somewhat challenging world, the system was completely useless except for nagging her; she had to rely on herself for everything.

"I'll ask one last question: what if the mission in this world fails?"

【It's fine.】

Even if you fail the mission, you can still go see the angels.

……

-

Gu Qiushui had just finished filming and returned home.

In order to leave a good impression on the director, she never used a stunt double for any scenes that she could perform herself.

That farewell scene on horseback today...
