1st Melon Part 2
Chapter 2: The Fastest Way To Become Famous Is To Collapse Someone’s House[1]!
With the sound of “Pa—!”, the reception fell silent for an instant.
Clear palm print appeared on the left side of Ji Jinghan’s face. She looked at Xia Chengcheng who was half a head taller than her, in disbelief and shed tears.
【F*ck! Isn’t this an apology meeting? 】
【Xia Chengcheng beat Ji Jinghan again? ! Is there something wrong with this woman? 】
【Xia Chengcheng is an arrogant and domineering second-generation rich man who is used to having everything her way. Do you really think she will admit her mistakes? Impossible! 】
【Ji Jinghan is so pitiful! Why did she have to meet this disgusting woman Xia Chengcheng! 】
【Is there something wrong with Xia Chengcheng? Get treatment if you are sick, don’t appear in the entertainment industry! 】
…
The entire press conference was broadcasted live, and the scene of Xia Chengcheng slapping Ji Jinghan was instantly synchronized to the Internet.
Reporters and netizens were shocked, and even the person involved, Ji Jinghan, didn’t react.
Xia Chengcheng left the press conference gracefully amidst the astonishment of everyone.
The system quickly realized something. Seeing the overwhelming amount of bad comments in the live broadcast room, it almost collapsed: “Why did you hit Ji Jinghan?!”
Xia Chengcheng said confidently: “Because I am a vicious supporting actress!”
The System: “……”
It makes so much sense that it can’t even refute it.
The system was so anxious that it jumped: “You are finished. Now the whole Internet is scolding you. Brother Zhang is even more angry. You can’t leave at all!”
“Really?”
Xia Chengcheng walked into the bathroom carrying her handbag. Then she gently took out the cosmetics in her handbag and began to put on makeup, “Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t do it.”
While the system was hopping around anxiously, Xia Chengcheng had already put on imitation male makeup on herself.
Xia Chengcheng who had an ideal face structure[2], looked like a different person in just a few strokes of the brush.
Then Xia Chengcheng put on a silver-white wig and bound her chest with a cloth.
When she came out of the bathroom, she instantly transformed into a delicate silver-haired male idol. At 1.75 meters tall, she was not tall among male idols, but she had an air of abstinence that she should not be trifled with.
The system was shocked. If it hadn’t watched Xia Chengcheng during the process, it would never have imagined that the “man” in front of it was actually the Xia Chengcheng ten minutes ago!
The rest of the journey went as smoothly as Xia Chengcheng planned.
Brother Zhang and the reporters were eager to find Xia Chengcheng and surrounded Star Entertainment Company, but Xia Chengcheng walked out of the company right in front of everyone!
During this period, several reporters took some photos of Xia Chengcheng, but what they were discussing was not Xia Chengcheng, but——
“This newcomer is quite handsome!”
“Star Entertainment actually has such a good trainee? Why didn’t I know!”
“If they nurture him well, with just his face alone he would be a hit!”
“Within ten minutes, I must get all the information about this little brother!”
…
The system was a little numb.
It wasn’t a newcomer system, but it had never seen one of its host make this kind of cool operation.
“Aren’t you a paparazzi? How can you still do this level of make-up?”
“Isn’t this just a paparazzi thing?”
The system: “……”
Once again, what she said made so much sense that it couldn’t even refute it.
While talking to the system in her mind, Xia Chengcheng was able to sign autographs for a few celebrity fans at the door. It was impossible to tell what the signatures were, but the system still analyzed the text with its analytical ability.
——Paparazzi.
What the heck?? Help! ! !
“Little brother! You are so handsome~ I want to become your fan !” a little fangirl screamed .
“I’m only eighteen years old, and I’m still a trainee, but I will work hard to debut!” Xia Chengcheng said nonsensically imitating a teenage voice.
“Yeah! You have to work hard~! I will always support you!”
Xia Chengcheng said goodbye to the fans reluctantly, with the innocence of a teenager and the desire for the stage in her eyes, which made the hearts of the fans who stayed there melt.
The system saw that Xia Chengcheng’s reputation value, which had already returned to zero, suddenly increased amidst the ardent expectations of those fans!
【Reputation value: +12】
The system: ! ! !
“Your reputation value has increased!”
The system jumped excitedly, “Why? Why did your reputation value increase?!”
System didn’t understand and it was shocked!
Xia Chengcheng got into a Beetle (a car), which belonged to the original owner.
“It’s very simple. It shows that my inference is valid.”
She quickly took off the silver wig on her head and the exaggerated silver contact lenses in her eyes, and answered while removing her makeup: “The reputation value of multiple identities of the same novel characters can be counted together. The reputation value of ‘Xia Chengcheng’ is 0, but my disguised identity’s reputation value increased to 12 thanks to the fans and reporters, so it’s equivalent to me having a reputation value of 12!”
The system was extremely surprised: “Doesn’t this mean you don’t have to die? You can earn reputation points while disguised!”
“Not only that,” After taking off her makeup, Xia Chengcheng opened Alipay on her mobile phone.
The system glanced at it, and boy, the original owner actually had an eight-digit bank balance!
System: “Wasn’t the original owner financially supported by her father? How come she has so much money!”
In the novel, the original owner was the daughter of the Xia family. When she was ten years old, the original owner’s mother Xia Bailu died in a car accident. As an adopter son who turned into the son-in-law, her father Xia Yongde married Ye Liufeng and brought back Ye Liufeng’s daughter Ye Shiwen, who was the heroine of the novel.
Three days ago, the original owner insulted Ye Shiwen. Xia Yongde was so angry that he cut off all the original owner’s credit cards.
Her father’s abandonment, Han Jialin’s disgust, and the verbal attacks from the netizens… these contributed to the death of the original owner.
But no one knew, and even in the novel it wasn’t recorded that the original owner had so much money before her death!
Where did this money come from?
Xia Chengcheng didn’t know since she had not inherited the memories of the original owner.
Everything she knew came from the novel given to her by the system.
She was in the dressing room half an hour ago. When Xia Chengcheng saw the video for the first time, she knew that Ji Jinghan must have directed this trap and acted.
In the video, Ji Jinghan’s palm print on the left side of her face was with the thumb pointing down. This would only be caused by hitting herself.
This plot was not included in the novel at all.
“Now, the original owner has so much money, but it is not introduced in the novel. From this, I can confirm my second inference,” Xia Chengcheng’s eyes were bright and decisive, “There are hidden plots in the novel. If there are backstories that have no effect on the subsequent plot, they will be ignored by the novel!”
After listening to Xia Chengcheng’s analysis, the system’s curiosity was aroused and its tone became even more excited, “Host, I have an idea!”
The system was eager to try, “Don’t worry about those messy things, quickly disguise yourself and make your debut to earn reputation points!”
It firmly believes that making a debut is the best way to earn reputation, after all, this is what other time travelers do.
“Earn reputation points by debuting?”
Xia Chengcheng rolled her eyes, “Do you think I can become famous in one day?”
“Uh… you can’t,” The system hurried Xia Chengcheng, “Then what are you going to do! Time is really running out!”
“It’s too late to make a debut, but it is still not too late to eat melons!” Xia Chengcheng smiled sweetly and started the Beetle, “In the entertainment industry, it is difficult to make a person famous, but how difficult can it be to bring someone down?
“If someone goes down, won’t their opponent go up?”

Star Entertainment Company. Dressing Room
Ji Jinghan was so furious that she swept away the cosmetics on the table and threw them to the ground.
“Is this the apology meeting you were talking about?”
Ji Jinghan hissed at the top of her lungs, “You let that bitch Xia Chengcheng slap me again?”
The agent was so frightened that he didn’t dare to breathe.
“We didn’t expect Xia Chengcheng to be so presumptuous! But now the public opinion on the Internet is overwhelmingly sympathetic to you, which can be considered a good thing!”
“Good thing?”
Ji Jinghan sneered, “What a damn good thing!”
The next second, she threw a box of concealer directly on the agent’s face!
A bruise instantly appeared at the corner of the agent’s eye.
But Ji Jinghan turned around and sat back in the chair as if nothing happened.
The phone rang, and the caller ID showed “Ye Shiwen”
The gloom on Ji Jinghan’s face disappeared in an instant. She took a deep breath and answered the phone with a calm expression. Her tone instantly returned to the gentleness of a little white flower: “Hey, Wenwen~”
“Jinghan, are you okay?”
Ye Shiwen’s worried voice came from the other end of the phone, “I saw the live broadcast, Chengcheng is so ignorant! It is me who didn’t teach my sister well!”
“How can I blame you?” Ji Jinghan frowned, “You are also unlucky to have Xia Chengcheng as your stepsister! Now that she is in my hands, I will definitely teach her a lesson and make her learn her mistakes!”
“It’s really troublesome for you.” Ye Shiwen said in a guilty voice, which made people feel a little distressed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Xia Chengcheng’s matter!”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Jinghan’s face darkened a little. After thinking for a moment, she made a phone call.
When the call was connected, Ji Jinghan changed her gloomy complexion. She smiled broadly, and her eyes became much gentler.
“Mr. Hong~ You haven’t contacted me for a long time~”
*
On the other side, Ye Shiwen looked at the phone that had been hung up.
She grabbed her phone and her pretty face darkened.
Ye Shiwen was reborn.
In her last life, she saw with her own eyes that Xia Chengcheng achieved everything: being favored by Han Jialin, gaining control over all the Xia family’s property, and finally reaching the top of the entertainment industry!
And she was spurned by Han Jialin, kicked out of the Xia family, and blacklisted by the entire entertainment industry!
She had nothing!
However, after experiencing her previous life, she knew that she was also the daughter of the Xia family.
Outsiders thought she was the stepdaughter Ye Liufeng brought into the Xia family, a stranger who had no blood relationship with Xia Yongde.
But the fact is that Xia Yongde and Ye Liufeng have had an affair for a long time, and the blood on her body is also Xia Yongde’s!
Why is it that Xia Chengcheng has been pampered and happy since childhood, on the other hand she had a rough and difficult childhood while they were both Xia Yongde’s daughters?. She was teased since she was a child that she was a fatherless child!
Even after she entered the Xia family, she still couldn’t compare to Xia Chengcheng. Even Han Jialin, whom she had liked all her life, only liked Xia Chengcheng!
After rebirth, recalling every bit of her previous life, Ye Shiwen vowed that in this life, she must take back everything that belongs to her!
Facts have proved that with her omniscient perspective, she can achieve unexpected success with just a little effort.
For example, Han Jialin likes her,
For example, the love of fans,
For example, Xia Chengcheng was now hated by the entire Internet.
Ye Shiwen grabbed the phone and smiled softly.
Xia Chengcheng had just been scolded by the entire Internet, so what should she, the nominal stepsister, do?
With this in mind, Ye Shiwen retweeted the trending press conference video along with two sentences:
“Jinghan, I’m sorry. It was me who failed to take care of Chengcheng. Let me apologize to you on her behalf! I’m really sorry!”
【Oh my God! Our Wenwen is really good! 】
【Wenwen hug! I love you~ Stop getting involved in Xia Chengcheng’s affairs, this woman is annoying to death! 】
【Xia Chengcheng, this trash, is so lucky to have such a good sister like Wenwen! 】
【Xia Chengcheng, get out of the entertainment industry now! I just want to read articles about beautiful people and kindhearted people! I don’t want to look at you! 】
【Xia Chengcheng, you mistress, go to hell! ! ! 】
…
As expected, the comments below were full of praise for Ye Shiwen and the netizens were scolding Xia Chengcheng.
Ye Shiwen looked at those comments and raised the corners of her mouth rose proudly.
Notes:
[1] 塌房 (tā fáng) It simply means that ruining celebrity’s image. The literal meaning of “Tā fáng” is “house collapse” or “the house demolished”. House collapse is a slang used in fan circles which refers to “ruined image” of a celebrity. The specific manifestation is that idols are like a beautiful and sacred house in the minds of fans and when there is some negative news about them, the beautiful sacred image no longer exists. As such “the house collapsed”. [go back]
[2] 三庭五眼 (sān tíng wǔ yǎn) literally it means “three courts and five eyes”. It is actually a face beauty standard. It is the ratio between facial width and facial length: [go back]
