Chapter One: My Father Will Never Like You

"My dad will never like you, so just give up!"

Jiang Sui looked at Lu Xuanxuan, who had just overturned the meal she’d prepared onto the floor, and frowned.

Lu Xuanxuan, six years old, was her hidden marriage husband Lu Ye’s adopted daughter, and, at least in name, her own daughter as well.

Those pretty, large eyes stared at her, full of disgust.

"Stop pretending. You think I don't know this is a variety show livestream? I won't listen to you!"

"Alright, got it," Jiang Sui replied. "If you don't want to eat, then don’t. I’m not hungry anyway."

Lu Xuanxuan’s eyes widened, both angry and indignant.

Shouldn’t she be urging her to eat?

Was she just going to drop the act now?

How infuriating!

If she gave up pretending, how was Xuanxuan supposed to get her meal? She was still hungry!

"It's nap time now. If you don't want to sleep, I do. I’ll rest for a bit. Call me if you need anything," Jiang Sui said, quickly sweeping up the broken dishes on the floor before climbing into bed.

Lu Xuanxuan snorted through her nose, both aggrieved and furious.

Meanwhile, the barrage in the livestream chat had already turned into a battlefield.

Once Jiang Sui lay down, the screen was flooded with question marks.

"What kind of mother is this? No matter what, you can't let a child go hungry!"

"Did you expect anything better from Ms. Jiang, whose reputation is built on scandals and leeching off others?"

"Sleeping??? If you want to sleep so much, just go home and do it!"

"Jiang Sui, get out of showbiz! Does a woman with a heart as venomous as hers deserve to appear before the public?"

"Is she sick? If she loves sleeping so much, maybe she's already terminal!"

"Wait, aren't you all curious about the 'dad' Xuanxuan mentioned?"

"I noticed it too. Didn't Jiang Sui claim Xuanxuan was her goddaughter? Who's this dad? Is there some gossip?"

"I'm curious too—spill the tea!"

"Who cares about background characters? I’m off to see my Snow Treasure! I tuned in for her, but now I have to see this unlucky Jiang Sui! Ugh!"

Jiang Sui closed her eyes, but her mind was busy absorbing all the information about her new body.

She had transmigrated again.

This was the ninety-ninth time.

She recalled the memories from her past and present lives with a proficiency that would make anyone ache with sympathy.

Just moments ago, she’d been embroiled in palace intrigue in ancient times.

She had finally outmaneuvered the emperor to death and was preparing to ascend the throne herself. But then, a bolt of lightning struck her down and sent her here.

What a cruel twist!

She had been ready to enjoy her days as empress, pampering dozens of male favorites.

She was already halfway there—only for this to happen?

As for her current situation, she quickly pieced it together.

She was now in a script world called "Conquering Showbiz by Doing Absolutely Nothing."

The story revolved around the heroine, Bai Xixue, who soared to the top of showbiz by being lazy and indifferent, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of life.

And Jiang Sui? She was the cannon-fodder supporting character, serving as a contrast to the heroine.

When the heroine slacked off and ordered children to cook, Jiang Sui scolded the kids.

When the heroine slacked off and had children wait on her, Jiang Sui scolded the kids.

When the heroine did nothing at all, Jiang Sui was still scolding the kids...

Two years later, after appearing on this variety show with the heroine, Jiang Sui was vilified by the entire internet, forced out of the entertainment industry, and died in a car accident at thirty due to depression.

From the start, Jiang Sui had been plagued by scandals. She loved chasing fame, stirring up trouble, and her acting was poor, but it wasn’t enough to warrant being universally loathed.

The true blacklisting only began after joining this variety show with the heroine, which paved the way for Bai Xixue’s rise.

She sighed quietly to herself, realizing she would have to start over yet again.

System: "Congratulations, Host, on beginning your ninety-ninth life. This will also be your last restart."

Jiang Sui immediately sobered up and sneered, "You finally deign to show up?"

This useless system had barely appeared in her last life—she’d even thought it had been scrapped.

System: "Mainly, your palace intrigue last time was so intense, I was afraid I’d get in the way."

Jiang Sui: "..."
