The Young Lady of the Beijing Circle Relies on Her Mother to Curse Through the Entertainment Industry

Ning Yu, a woman whose ex-boyfriend died in a humiliating accident after being caught cheating, transmigrates into the body of a fictional character with the same name. In the novel, this character is an eighteen-tier celebrity from a wealthy capital family, known for being a love-struck fool who obsessively pursues the male lead, Xu Yize, and frames the female lead, Lin Momo. The original Ning Yu’s relentless harassment leads to her public humiliation and the destruction of her family’s reputation. Upon waking in this new life, Ning Yu decides to reject the script entirely, adopting a motto of ruthless retaliation against anyone who harms her. She discovers she is about to appear on a variety show, Troubles Help Help Help, alongside Xu Yize and Lin Momo, a lineup that has already sparked outrage among fans online.

The story begins with Ning Yu confronting the toxic fandom and Xu Yize directly. When Xu Yize calls her, expecting her to remain submissive, she instead curses him out and threatens violence, shocking him into silence. She blocks him on all social media platforms, a move that trends immediately. Rather than apologizing, she posts a detailed expose revealing that she and Xu Yize are childhood acquaintances whose families expected them to marry, clarifying that his current relationship with Lin Momo is a betrayal of that history. Her blunt language and refusal to play the victim win her a new fanbase, while her brother, Fu Jingchen, a wealthy and protective "sister-con," rewards her newfound independence with thirty million yuan and invests in the variety show to ensure her safety.

At the variety show recording, Ning Yu’s attitude shifts the dynamic completely. She ignores Xu Yize and Lin Momo’s attempts to provoke her and instead forms an alliance with Su Yuan, a respected and talented actress who is also the only other "normal" person on the cast. The show’s first case involves a husband, Xiao Wang, who complains that his wife has lost her glamour after bearing two children. While the other male guests, including Xu Yize, Xue Mingyuan, and Shi Yu, offer superficial advice or defend the husband’s perspective, Ning Yu and Su Yuan fiercely advocate for the wife, Xiao Zhang. Ning Yu exposes the husband’s laziness and lack of empathy, particularly when he plays video games while his young son breaks a cup and is scolded for it.

The conflict escalates as Xu Yize attempts to position himself as the reasonable peacemaker, suggesting the husband take a day off to care for the child to understand his wife’s hardships. Ning Yu remains skeptical, predicting that such a temporary gesture will not change the husband’s deep-seated attitudes. Meanwhile, Su Yuan misinterprets the presence of Ning Yu’s brother, Fu Jingchen, as a romantic interest, creating a comedic misunderstanding that Ning Yu finds amusing but does not correct on live television. Back at the Xu residence, Xu Yize faces pressure from his father, who threatens to cut him off financially unless he publicly declares his love for Ning Yu at an upcoming birthday banquet, forcing Xu Yize into a corner where he must choose between his family’s wealth and his pride.

The narrative follows Ning Yu as she navigates the variety show with confidence and sharp wit, dismantling the hypocritical behavior of her former crush and his new girlfriend. She supports Xiao Zhang emotionally, validating her struggles and highlighting the unequal burden of domestic labor. The story establishes Ning Yu’s transformation from a pathetic supporting character into a powerful figure who refuses to be bullied. As the show progresses, the tension between Ning Yu’s new identity and the expectations of the original plot creates friction with Xu Yize, who is increasingly unable to control the narrative. The introduction of Fu Jingchen as a protective force adds a layer of familial support that contrasts with the toxic dynamics Ning Yu is leaving behind, setting the stage for further confrontations and the eventual unraveling of Xu Yize’s carefully constructed image.

Key turning points include Ning Yu’s public rejection of Xu Yize, her alliance with Su Yuan, and the show’s exposure of traditional gender role disparities through the Xiao Wang case. The story direction moves away from romantic entanglement toward professional success and personal empowerment. Ning Yu leverages her wealth and family connections not for vanity, but to secure her independence and protect those around her. The contrast between her genuine empathy for ordinary people and the privileged, out-of-touch perspectives of the other celebrities drives the central conflict. As the variety show continues, Ning Yu’s uncompromising stance challenges the other guests to confront their own biases, while Xu Yize struggles to maintain his status despite losing the narrative control he once held. The plot sets up future conflicts involving the birthday banquet and the ongoing mediation cases, with Ning Yu firmly established as the protagonist who dictates her own fate.
