The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish
Transmigrating into a danmei novel as the major villain, Ye Zexi just wants to be a 'salted fish' and inherit his family's fortune. But his plans are thwarted when his wealthy father freezes his assets, forcing him to participate in a boy group audition show. Unexpectedly, his attempts at laziness and bluntness only make him more popular, thrusting him into the spotlight and the tangled web of relationships within the entertainment industry. Can he survive the cutthroat world of idols, navigate past scandals, and perhaps find love along the way?
The whispers echo from the bathroom stalls, sharp and dismissive. You, Ye Zexi, the new occupant of this ridiculously wealthy villain's body, listen with detached amusement as fellow contestants, Jiang Ran among them, tear down your reputation.
They call you an "empty bag," mock your supposed terrible singing from rehearsal, and gleefully spread the rumor that you're only here to chase Tang Jing.
Stepping out of the cubicle, you interrupt their petty gossip, a faint, unreadable smile playing on your lips. Time to remind these 'trainees' exactly who owns the ground they're standing on.
