Transmigrating Into The Male Lead’s Villainess Older Sister

Last night Mu Yan saw the @ symbol from Siyu. After that, she found her Weibo account and discovered the chibi manhua 《Fashion Strategy》.

Mu Yan used to be the vice-chief editor of a well-known manhua magazine. Later, she was recruited as a high paid chief editor by the newly established Qu Man. Originally the matter of recruiting authors wasn’t under her management. However, yesterday she accidentally caught a glimpse of the manhua drawn by Siyu. She immediately got a strong premonition in her heart:

This person will definitely be popular in the future!

Even though this author named “Koi” had never published any works before, but her painting style was very mature and the imagination was great. The prologue of the story from before had hooked the reader’s liking. The cool and soothing plot had intrigued people’s interest to continue reading it. From this point, you could see that Koi was definitely not a novice.

Mu Yan couldn’t help but suspect it. Could this be some experts opening a smurf account to test the water? But, within her knowledge, there’s no author skilled in this kind of short and adorable chibi comic-strip ah!

Although she felt uncertain, Mu Yan still quickly handed over an olive branch1 to Siyu, she was just joking. Now Qu Man was urgently in need of talent and there’s nothing to say about the quality work of this Koi. Didn’t you see a lot of big V forwarded? If other competitors dug a corner of the wall2, she had nowhere to cry!   

Because she unexpectedly excavated a good seedling, Mu Yan wished the other party could reply immediately. However, after waiting for a bit, there was still nothing in the private mailbox. Mu Yan was a little disappointed. She could only comfort herself, perhaps the other person slept early?

As soon as she woke up the next day, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Koi had indeed written back!

However, the reply message only had a short sentence: 【Yes, I’m very happy to collaborate with you.】

Although Mu Yan was very experienced, she was stupefied for a moment: No, how could there be any person like Koi, who immediately agree without asking any questions? Isn’t she afraid of being scammed by others?!
 
Mu Yan had seen many types of shrewd authors. They relied on their tiny bit of talent and did various things of not putting the platform in their eyes. Bickering with them would only annoy yourself to death.   So, this was Mu Yan’s first time seeing such a casual and laid-back person.

 
Maybe it’s because the heart cherished talents, Mu Yan somehow couldn’t bear to see Koi being so “simple” and silently set a setting where she single-mindedly engrossing herself in drawing and paid no attention to the world. She thought to herself that since Koi had such confidence in Qu Man, then she couldn’t let the other person down! Besides, this child was too unguarded. Forget it.  Since it’s someone she recruited, she’ll take good care of her later. Lest one day Koi didn’t realize that she was deceived by others.
 
Siyu had no idea that by a single sentence, Mu Yan could imagine so many things. Even before she formally signed the contract,  Mu Yan had developed compassion for her.
 
Heaven and earth can testify that she used to be a professional manhua artist. Jumping around on several internet platforms, she had figured out the matter about contracts at an earlier time. Whether there’s a trap or not, she could tell it in a glance. Therefore, in this case, she confidently replied to the invitation from Qu Man.
 
Both parties were interested and the conversation went particularly smoothly. In one morning, Siyu and Mu Yan had already concluded on the final details for the contract. However, what surprised Siyu was that Mu Yan didn’t refute at all and she even took the initiative to make the conditions very favorable, seemingly in fear that she would suffer.
 
“ Do you still have a copy in hand? Qu Man’s homepage has a recommended new star section. The location was very conspicuous. After your work was put on the shelves, I could help win over this place for you. “ Finally, this good seedling signed and Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she quickly thought and immediately began to plan and prepare for this silly child of hers.
 
“ Yes, there is…. but isn’t this too fast? Don’t I need to update a little bit more?” Siyu was a little hesitant. This treatment was too good! In the previous world, she could only enjoy this kind of treatment after she became very popular. However, now she was just an insignificant new-comer!
 
“ It’s alright, you just listen to me. “ As a chief editor who had the authority to keep her words, Mu Yan expressed that this was a trivial matter. What’s the matter with supporting the person she wants with more resources? ! She had said that Koi would be popular and it would certainly be realized!
 
Hence, under Mu Yan’s persistent go-ahead, within one day Siyu sent the scanned copy of the contract along with the last two chapters of 《Fashion Strategy》 to Qu Man.
 
Because Mu Yan absolutely guaranteed that everything would be readily handed over to her, Siyu only needed to focus on drawing. On top of that, Siyu’s body was honestly too weak and didn’t have the energy to pay close attention to these trivial matters. So, after she conscientiously handed in the manuscript, Siyu didn’t pay any more attention.
 
Contrary to what she expected, Assistant Xu from 《Feng Shang》 took the initiative to call. It’s said that the final photos had been developed and at the same time let Siyu come over to settle her payment.
 
Siyu checked her bank card and found that there’s not much money— only 20,000. The talent agency she signed with should have taken fifty percent so it’s equivalent to having a mere 10,000 yuan in her hand. According to Assistant Xu, the extra 10,000 yuan was subsidized by Yu Ling in private as a compensation for her vomiting blood.
 
20,000 yuan ah…. Siyu comforted herself, only feeling a dull ache in her heart. This little bit of money, just to buy medication and it would nearly be used up. At most, it could sustain her for half a month as this disease mostly needed expensive medicinal ingredients. However, not drinking the medicine would make her feel very unwell. Zhou Siyu family circumstances weren’t good and a big part of the reason was because of this sickly body.
 
It’s still a matter of money ah…… Siyu sighed and was more determined to change her profession as soon as possible. Modeling was a tough business and the salary wasn’t much.  The talent agency was an exploiter. It’s no wonder that the original body was desperate to climb up. Especially after she came into contact with her half-younger brother, Ji Lin, trying every means to scheme against him and steal his resources.

2: Original text 挖(了)墙角 Wā(le) qiángjiǎo – digging the corner of the wall (or here dug the corner of the wall). It refers to an act of digging out the relevant personnel (or technology) of competitors to maximize the benefits. In the eyes of young people, “digging the corner of the wall” refers to robbing a friend’s lover and breaking them up so that the one he likes becomes his own male (or female) friend. So, Mu Yan was saying that if Siyu was stolen by other competitors, she had nowhere to cry.

T/N: I’m so sorry readers!  (﹏) It had been a disastrous way to start the new year for me. The night of the new year I had been merrily eating and barbequing my way with my family, then in the morning, we found out that the front of our house had been flooded by water!  ( TДT) Luckily my area wasn’t as bad (only calf-height water) In the worst area they were flooded with neck-height water! But the worst of all we got no electricity, no clean water, and the signal had been bad… (╥﹏╥) Moreover, the most disgusting thing was the fact that all the gutter creatures went up! Cockroaches, Rats, and their friends….. After long disastrous days, everything finally settled down. Thus I’m able to make this post… :;(∩´﹏`∩);: I’m so sorry for the late chapter readers! 

P.S: Happy New Year to all of you!!  And sorry for this rant of mine, I need to vent this out before I go crazy (/ω＼)

After drinking up the usual awfully bitter medicine, Siyu took a taxi and rushed to Feng Shang company. Unexpectedly, the one who picked her up was Yu Ling.
 
Compared to the time when she was discontented with Siyu during the shooting, Yu Ling’s attitude this time was much more gentle with a smile on her face: “ You’ve arrived? Mr. Zhang Chao was very satisfied with the shooting this time and said that if there’s an opportunity he might cooperate with you again. You’ve hit a jackpot!”
 
Yu Ling carefully observed Siyu’s complexion. Seeing that her face didn’t have any color and her lips were pale, she couldn’t help but recall the scene when she vomited blood that day and asked a little more: “ Are you feeling better? “
 
“ Ling-jie, it’s just my old sickness, you don’t need to worry.” Siyu obediently replied.
 
In fact, her attention was actually on Yu Ling’s head. The last time they saw each other, Siyu took note of the deep pink light that fluttered above Yu Ling’s head. However, today that light had disappeared and was replaced with a light black fog. Yu Ling was still as ignorant as before.
 
At first, Siyu thought it was something dirty. Thus, when Yu Ling turned around to take some stuff, she subconsciously stretched her hand to brush it away——
 
Who would have expected that when her fingers touched that black fog, in a split second there was several scenes flashed through her mind: On a bustling street, a girl with a schoolbag was hit by a car that rushed out of control into the sidewalk and finally fell heavily into the ground a few meters away. Blood was all over the place, glassy eyes, and terrified crowds….. and that girl’s facial features were seven-eight points1 similar to Yu Ling who was standing in front of her.
 
These fragments were like a fleeting glance passing in Siyu’s mind. When she abruptly came to her senses, she immediately took a few breaths in a hurry.
 
What the hell was that…. an omen? She only saw these images when she touched that black fog floating on top of Yu Ling’s head. Could this be an omen that had something to do with Yu Ling? Hinting that either Yu Ling or someone close to her will meet with a mishap?

Siyu closed her eyes and exhaled, calming down her excessively intense heartbeat. Suddenly seeing this kind of bloody scene, the impact on her wasn’t small.
 
Yu Ling wanted to mention another thing to her, turning her head only to see her like this. She was startled: “What’s wrong with you ?” Please don’t fall sick again!
 

“No, I just suddenly feel a little unwell. Nothing serious.” Siyu hesitated for a while. Still, she looked at Yu Ling and asked, “ Ling-jie, do you have a daughter?”
 
Yu Ling was dumbfounded: “Yeah.” She thought strangely, normally her work and life were swiftly divided. She had never told anyone about her personal affairs. Where did she hear this from?

Siyu affirmed one more time: “ Is she in primary school?”

Yu Ling nodded: “ She’s in  sixth grade this year.” Seeing that Siyu appeared to be lost in thought, she couldn’t help but ask, “ Why do you ask? “

“ Just thoughtlessly say it, I heard someone mentioned it before, nothing else. “ Siyu calmly changed the topic. She was now seventy percent sure that the girl who appeared in that flashing scene ought to be Yu Ling’s daughter. In other words, that black fog was actually hinting that Yu Ling’s daughter will be in a car accident?

Siyu wasn’t sure. Although she was the original author of the manhua, she was only aware of the main character’s destiny. Towards this Yu Ling who only appeared once as passerby A, she didn’t know the trajectory of the person’s life. Not to mention that this was a real-world with many variables.

Beside, Siyu currently wasn’t quite sure whether the black fog above her head was a foreboding of ill omen or not. Anyway, she couldn’t directly say to Yu Ling ‘hey, your daughter might be hit by a car’ right? It would be no wonder if people started beating her to death!

It seemed that she still had to verify it herself…..

This brief interlude was quickly forgotten by Yu Ling and she once again mentioned: “ By the way,  the chief editor and I were particularly pleased with this time finished product. I think with your condition, you could try fighting for a better opportunity. Ji Lin, have you heard of him? “

Hearing this name, Siyu bit her lip unconsciously.

Ji Lin, how could she not know? Ji Lin was the male lead of 《Superstar Pampered Marriage》. Furthermore, he was also the original body’s half-brother. But, Siyu did not expect to suddenly heard his name from Yu Ling’s mouth.

“ Of course I know. “ Siyu had a bad premonition in her heart.  If she didn’t remember it wrong, the following was in the main story…..

Sure enough, Yu Ling continued: “ Ji Lin’s new MV is holding an audition for the female lead. The time was set on this Friday, so you must prepare well. I could give you a hint, Ji Lin’s Xing Fei company had already been secretly bought by Huan Yi. Now Huan Yi is looking for new talent. You should perform a little better. Perhaps you could be picked by Huan Yi! The talent agency you’re in now, ah, their sights are too narrow and shallow.There’s pitfalls everywhere, truly not a good situation. If you want to escape from this living hell, you must seize this opportunity!”

After the last shooting, the photographer and chief editor both praised Siyu profusely.  They were impressed that this little model could still persist in finishing the shooting despite her illness. Furthermore, the finished product was extremely good. This professionalism was rare in the industry. Therefore,  Yu Ling’s initial impression of Siyu also changed a lot.

Seeing that Siyu was still stupefied, Yu Ling thought that she didn’t understand the weight of the words, and advised again: “ In short, you must remember my words. Do you know who is the backer of Huan Yi? It’s Rong City’s Lu family! “

1: seven-eight points – it means 70 to 80 percent similar to Yu Ling’s face
