Truth System: I Became the Top Star of Reverse Talent Scouting

Su Yuqing, a legendary seven-time Best Actress from a parallel universe, transmigrates into the body of an eighteen-year-old girl with the same name. The original host was a marginalized stepdaughter in the wealthy Su family, constantly bullied by her beloved stepsister, Su Chengxi, and her former fiancé, Jiang Chenan. The transmigration occurs during the live broadcast of the Reverse Talent Show, a brutal competition where celebrities compete to be permanently expelled from the entertainment industry. On the show's opening day, Su Chengxi attempts to push Su Yuqing off a cruise ship deck. However, the plan backfires when Su Yuqing, driven by an inexplicable force, jumps into the sea to save her. In the water, Su Yuqing absorbs the original host's memories, while the rescuer, He Suyan, a top-tier actor and singer known as the Movie Emperor, experiences a sudden awakening of past-life memories. He discovers he is bound to Su Yuqing; if they are not connected, he will die prematurely.

Upon waking, Su Yuqing faces immediate hostility from Jiang Chenan and Su Chengxi, who claim she attempted murder. Instead of feigning innocence, Su Yuqing is forcibly bound to a Truth System that compels her to speak only facts. When Su Chengxi pretends to be concerned, the system triggers Su Yuqing to publicly reveal that Jiang Chenan is a "three-second man" who engages in homosexual encounters. The revelation shocks the live audience and viewers, causing the internet to explode. Although this act exposes the scumbags, it also leads to Su Yuqing being blacklisted by both the Su and Jiang families. Her agency, Huatai Entertainment, refuses to protect her, viewing her as a liability. Su Yuqing, however, remains calm, utilizing her hacking skills to steal incriminating evidence from Jiang Chenan’s phone.

He Suyan, intrigued by Su Yuqing’s resilience and sharp tongue, offers her a contract with his own company, Chengtian Entertainment. He covers her penalty fees and promises to handle the Su family’s retaliation in exchange for her cooperation for three years. Su Yuqing accepts, recognizing the need for a powerful ally. During the show’s next episode, the theme is "Freedom," and contestants must form teams to complete tasks. Su Yuqing teams up with He Suyan and Gu Zhan, a boy band dancer. Despite the challenges, including a practice room with an ice rink floor, Su Yuqing’s past-life experience allows her to contribute significantly to their choreography. She also confronts Xia Chuwei, a rival from the same agency, exposing her questionable debut in front of the cast.

The show’s eccentric director, Lin, introduces a written exam covering literature, law, and general knowledge to test the celebrities' intellects. While most contestants panic, Su Yuqing, possessing superior knowledge from her previous life, completes the exam with ease. Her performance shifts public perception, earning her a growing fanbase despite the ongoing smear campaigns by the Su family. Ou Yulan, Su Yuqing’s mother, holds a press conference to paint Su Yuqing as a pathological liar, but Su Yuqing remains indifferent, focusing on her preparation for the upcoming live performance. As the episode progresses, Su Yuqing navigates the treacherous dynamics of the entertainment industry, supported by He Suyan’s protection and her own unyielding truthfulness. The story sets the stage for her counterattack against those who wronged her, leveraging her new alliance and the unique constraints of the Truth System to reclaim her dignity and career.
