Top-Tier Villainess Remakes the Industry’s ‘White Moonlight’ [Transmigration]

Shang Wan was a dedicated actress who rose from an unknown extra to a Golden Rose Award-winning Best Actress over a decade of struggle. Just as she prepared to retire, she died of fulminant myocarditis and transmigrated into the body of Shang Nanzhi, the vicious female antagonist in the romance novel Star Path. In the original story, Shang Nanzhi drugged the domineering CEO Fu Chen, leading to her eventual disfigurement and suicide. Trapped in a locked bathroom with the drugged and enraged Fu Chen, Shang Wan faced immediate death. A system activated, informing her that she must collect Bond Points from five main characters to earn enough Life Points to return to her original world. With Fu Chen’s Bond Points at only one, she realized the gravity of her situation.

Inside the bathroom, Fu Chen was torturing himself with glass to resist the drug’s effects. Instead of fleeing, Shang Wan grabbed the shard and cut her own wrist, taking the pain upon herself to de-escalate the violence. She then created smoke to trigger the fire alarm, allowing emergency responders to break in and rescue them. Fu Chen, bewildered by her sudden change from a lust-driven predator to a calm, self-sacrificing figure, installed surveillance in the maid’s room where she was held. Watching her treat her wounds with stoic silence, he became obsessed with understanding this new version of Shang Nanzhi. When she was brought before him and the other key figures, her Bond Points with Fu Chen rose to over ten, signaling that her survival strategy was beginning to work.

At the Fu residence, Shang Wan encountered Fu Duo, the illegitimate half-brother who publicly acted as a devoted sibling but secretly harbored murderous resentment toward Fu Chen. Shang Wan deliberately stumbled and revealed bite marks from Fu Chen, piquing Fu Duo’s curiosity and raising his Bond Points. She also met Gu Xun, a psychopathic villain obsessed with the eyes of his deceased first love, which bore a striking resemblance to Shang Wan’s. Despite his terrifying nature, Gu Xun offered her a business card and drove her home in the rain, his Bond Points rising as he became intrigued by her. Shang Wan navigated these dangerous interactions with professional acting skills, manipulating perceptions while trying to avoid their lethal fates.

Returning to her acting career on the set of Zhao Ming Palace, Shang Wan faced Fang Xinghe, the pure and devoted male supporting character who despised her. Initially, her Bond Points with him fluctuated wildly, dropping to zero whenever she broke character or acted like her former self. However, during filming, she fully immersed herself in the role of the ambitious Princess Qionghua. Her powerful performance captivated Fang Xinghe, temporarily boosting his Bond Points. More importantly, she intervened to save the female lead, Shen Hui, from an abusive assistant director. By smashing a thermos to stop the assault and supporting Shen Hui emotionally, Shang Wan significantly raised her Bond Points with the female lead, securing an ally in a hostile environment.

As Shang Wan continues her mission, she must balance her acting duties with the dangerous game of earning trust from five unstable main characters. Fu Chen’s surveillance intensifies as he seeks to understand her true nature, while Gu Xun’s fixation on her eyes grows more apparent. Fang Xinghe remains a volatile variable, reacting unpredictably to her performances. Shang Wan must use every ounce of her acting experience to maintain her cover, avoid the tragic fate of the original antagonist, and collect the necessary Bond Points to return home, all while navigating a web of obsession, revenge, and political intrigue within the novel’s world.
