“Ah-ha----”
Gao Liyuan took a sip of her soda, the bubbles bursting in her mouth, making her let out a comfortable sigh.
She looked at the string of numbers displayed on her monitor.
“Finally got the number.”
Yang Jingying’s private phone number wasn’t something just anyone could get.
Even within the circle, the number that was publicly available was her secretary’s.
The secretary would handle most calls.
Only the most important ones would be forwarded to Yang Jingying personally.
But Gao Liyuan had skipped that step entirely.
Yang Group.
Another day of hard work.
From morning till night.
Non-stop.
In the general manager’s office.
Yang Jingying was slumped in her executive chair, exhausted.
That volcanic mud skincare product had gone viral!
No advertising was needed.
Short videos, major online media outlets, and even some million-follower beauty bloggers were voluntarily promoting it.
All they needed was to be given samples to try.
Everyone loves beauty.
The volcanic mud skincare had hit the mark!
Buzz-------
Her phone on the desk vibrated.
Yang Jingying had just closed her eyes, but they snapped open again, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
She reached for the phone.
“Unknown caller?”
She pressed the answer button with a hint of suspicion.
“Hello?”
A woman’s voice came through.
“Is this Ms. Yang Jingying?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Ahem…” Gao Liyuan cleared her throat, then tentatively said, “We’re living in a novel world, where the main character is Lin Fan, and there are female leads and such. You’re one of them.”
She was testing the waters!
If Yang Jingying called her crazy, Gao Liyuan would be over the moon!
That would mean her guess was wrong.
Yang Jingying couldn’t hear Xu Mo’s inner thoughts.
And knew nothing about it.
Any normal person would curse her out.
Or just hang up immediately.
If she hesitated, that would also say something.
Gao Liyuan’s heart was pounding.
She was waiting for something.
Yang Jingying didn’t disappoint.
She replied almost instantly.
“Who are you? When did you come into contact with Xu Mo?”
An ordinary person couldn’t know this!
Only the female leads could hear Xu Mo’s inner thoughts.
And communicate with him.
Others couldn’t hear it.
And shouldn’t know about it.
This voice was so unfamiliar.
The only possibility—the other person was also a female lead in this world!
Gao Liyuan let out a bitter laugh, as if something was stuck in her throat.
She wasn’t the only one!!
“I just came into contact with him recently. You seem to know a lot about our world. Care to share?”
Yang Jingying: ?????
So she’s a newbie!!!
But why should I tell you?
Among the veterans, Li Jiaxin is the more honest one.
Xu Shi doesn’t count, since she’s his sister.
Jing Xuan doesn’t count either.
She’s his sister-in-law.
The rest?
They’re all scheming bitches!
Especially that newcomer Lin An’an.
At the birthday party, she kept saying she wasn’t interested.
But then she ended up filming with Xu Mo, and suddenly she was all in.
Latecomers always steal the show.
Now there’s another wildcard.
Yang Jingying felt it was absolutely necessary to nip this in the bud.
“I don’t know much either. But first, how did you get my private number?”
“It seems like you come from a good family.”
Know your enemy, know yourself, and you’ll never lose a battle.
Right now, Yang Jingying was in the open, while the other woman was in the shadows.
If she was after Xu Mo’s body.
Or had some leverage over him.
With Xu Mo’s soft and kind personality.
He’d be at her mercy!
Gao Liyuan: “Oh, that? It was pretty simple. I hacked into your office computer first, then accessed your phone through the chat app you logged into, and then hacked your phone.”
Yang Jingying couldn’t stay seated. Her expression tightened as she quickly opened her computer to check.
She ran every antivirus program she had.
Her computer contained crucial business strategies!
Hearing the frantic clicking on the other end, Gao Liyuan chuckled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, every profession has its code of conduct. I’m no exception. I only wanted your phone number. I didn’t look at anything else.”
Hearing this, Yang Jingying’s anxiety eased a little.
But not entirely.
Who knew if Gao Liyuan was telling the truth?
This female lead was a hacker!
Antivirus software didn’t work on her.
The defense systems they’d paid to have built.
Showed no signs of being breached.
God only knew how Gao Liyuan managed to hack into her computer without leaving a trace.
Her skills must be top-notch!
Yang Jingying took a moment to compose herself, then snorted coldly.
“It better be true!”
In the age of information networks.
Someone with top-tier hacking skills.
If they didn’t restrain themselves.
Could truly do whatever they wanted!
As long as they weren’t caught.
They could infiltrate home security cameras.
Car dashcams.
And all sorts of electronic surveillance systems.
It was like stripping someone naked.
No privacy left.
If you caught them, fine.
If not.
They’d roam free.
And the victims wouldn’t even know it had happened.
“You’ve been in contact with Xu Mo longer than I have. Are you really saying you don’t know anything?”
Gao Liyuan wasn’t ready to give up yet.
She pressed on with the topic.
If she didn’t play fair.
And just looked through the chat apps on Yang Jingying’s phone.
She wouldn’t need Yang Jingying to explain anything.
She could get all the information she wanted.
Should she ally with her or crush her?
Yang Jingying hesitated for a moment.
Then decided to ally.
A super hacker.
Could be incredibly useful.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had been acting suspiciously lately.
No one knew what she was up to.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
Yang Jingying couldn’t allow.
Zhou Qiaoqiao to slip out of her control!
Otherwise.
Xu Mo might really end up as her prize.
“I know a few things.”
Gao Liyuan: ????
Meow meow meow??
Wasn’t the saying, “Chinese don’t lie to Chinese”?
Didn’t you just say you didn’t know?
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Why did you change your tune?
What are you after?
Gao Liyuan swallowed hard. “Alright, tell me what you know.”
Interacting with Xu Mo.
Only gave her limited information.
And if she kept probing like this every day.
He’d definitely get suspicious.
So the best way.
Was to learn from the veterans!
That way, she could fill in the world’s lore faster.
Moshi moshi, and also, let’s go, let’s go!!!!!!
First, wishing you all a happy winter break~~~~
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"
