In this world, no one could be completely trusted—even one's self.

After tucking in the unconscious second male lead on his bed, Xi Ning took a step back, silently admiring the face of the person she had been entrusted to take care of.

This face was truly deserving of the title "The Most Desired Artiste To Sleep With No. 1". Not to mention the toned body covered by the thick quilt, his face alone could already make any girl, and some boys too, weak in the knees.

It's a pity though. The person whom this guy probably wanted to sleep with the most would never be his.

Xi Ning couldn't help but cast a gaze filled with sympathy and guilt towards this poor male lead two.

No, Xi Ning was not the second female lead. And obviously, she's not the female lead.

But this guy in front of her was the unfortunate second male lead of this world she was transmigrated into. He was that kind of second male lead who could make the audience feel more love and sympathy for him while shouting in their hearts "you deserve better!"

Yup! It's that legendary "second male lead syndrome", courtesy of Designer JJ, this world's designer, who was known for being one of the designers with the largest brain pit.

As one could imagine, the second male lead fell for the unattainable female lead. This love which remained unrequited for years, Xi Ning could partly be blamed for it.

Her mission this time was to ensure that the love story between the female lead and the male lead would go smoothly. Xi Ning did not play a small role in making it happen.

She became "Agent Xi", the supporting character with the same name as hers, who served as the second male lead, Ye Jiang's, manager in the entertainment industry. This position made the task of hindering Ye Jiang's pursuit towards the female lead a lot easier.

The story sounded quite simple, but only the people involved would know how dog blooded it really was.

This world, which was recklessly named "Ms. Superstar Has A Secret: The CEO Is Hiding In My Closet" by its irresponsible designer, was about a female superstar who got entangled with the CEO of the largest tech company in the country after a series of so-called "fated coincidences".

The female superstar's name before her rebirth was Xiao Feng. And true to her name, she was indeed a phoenix—someone who obtained a new life by arising from the ashes of her predecessor.

In her past life, Xiao Feng was only an 18th-tier actress, unable to become popular because she lacked both talent and opportunities. She could barely make ends meet.

She was not totally untalented, per se, but her acting, dancing and singing skills could only be considered passable. Maybe she was better compared to common people, but within the entertainment industry which was full of talented people, her talents were not enough to push her to stardom.

Xiao Feng was at the lowest point in her life when her agent suddenly suggested that she try to look for "gold sponsors".

Anyone who had meddled in the dark waters of the entertainment circle would know what her agent was implying.

Because her late parents had brought her up well, Xiao Feng didn't hesitate in rejecting her agent's proposition.

Despite her difficult circumstances, she was adamant on keeping her chastity. But who knew that the person she trusted the most was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Without her knowing, her agent had drugged her food and sent her to a certain hotel room, left lying on the big bed filled with rose petals, wearing little to no clothing at all.

Anyone placed in her situation would probably acquiesce in this fate of being a plaything for the rich, but Xiao Feng didn't want that.

She didn't want to fall into this hellhole for she knew that once she's in, it would be impossible to get out. Even if this kind of immoral thing could get her resources and make her popular, she wouldn't be able to rid herself of this stain, forever becoming a skeleton in her closet.

That's why, Xiao Feng did what she thought was the best option for her: she took her life before the "gold sponsor" could arrive in the hotel room.

Xiao Feng didn't know if she should be grateful or not to her agent for only using a sleeping tablet and not an aphrodisiac to drug her. But in any case, she had firmly decided on not letting any greasy, old men touch her.

The bloodier the scene, the better.

Before her consciousness completely left her, she managed to catch a glimpse of the person she should be serving that night—it was actually Jun Zhen, the young CEO of The Empire's Tech & Co., the largest tech company in the country!

Although Xiao Feng was shocked to know that her agent managed to find her this kind of big gold sponsor, it didn't make her regret her decision. Even if her agent could find a backer who was much more handsome and much richer than CEO Jun, she would never agree to become a canary.

Not now, not ever.

She didn't want to associate herself with these big shots, knowing that the life of the rich was a pit full of messy things.

But that all changed when she found herself reborn in the body of Superstar Xiao Feng.

The Feng in the Superstar's name means Maple.

It was actually quite ironic if someone would ponder over it.

Maple symbolizes strength and endurance, and yet, the original Xiao Feng died at such a young age of 21, giving the 18th-tier actress a chance to become a superstar in an instant.

The reborn Xiao Feng, upon familiarizing herself with her new identity, wanted to use her current influence to take revenge on Jun Zhen.

But well, as what usually happens in those dog blood dramas, Xiao Feng inadvertently fell in love with the person she hated the most. Later, she then found out that Jun Zhen was also set up the night she was sent to his hotel room. After discovering the truth, she fell in love more deeply with the male lead, leaving the original owner's love interest behind.

Yes, the original Xiao Feng and the second male lead Ye Jiang were about to become an official couple before the Superstar Xiao Feng was met with an accident, causing her death.

But after the now Xiao Feng took over her identity, Ye Jiang was "forgotten". He tried every means to get in touch with her, but nothing worked. He even begged his manager to find a way to contact his "girlfriend", but the always dependable Agent Xi couldn't do anything about it as well.

Of course, this was Xi Ning doing her tasks extremely well.

By "tasks", she meant the tasks that were issued by her System 555.

Now, the plot of the world "Ms. Superstar Has A Secret: The CEO Is Hiding In My Closet" is nearing its end.

Today was the wedding of Superstar Xiao Feng and CEO Jun Zhen, which was dubbed as "The Golden Wedding of the Century".

Ye Jiang had wanted to crash the wedding, but Xi Ning had foiled his plan.

Once again.

Throughout these years, Ye Jiang hadn't stopped trying to contact and get close to Xiao Feng on multiple occasions. But every time he thought he was about to succeed, there was his manager who would "unintentionally" get in his way, successfully preventing him from catching up to even the shadow of his beloved Xiao Feng.

In this regard, Xi Ning could be said to be a professional. Although there were times when Ye Jiang had suspected her of intentionally interfering with his plans, he couldn't find concrete evidence to back his suspicions.

Besides, for what reason would she need to do this? He wasn't an idol who couldn't be in a relationship.

Ye Jiang established his current fame through his acting skills. He had stepped up in this industry by acting in films, so unlike the popular idols, he wasn't afraid of losing his fan base or popularity by announcing his relationship to the public.

Oh, Xi Ning forgot to mention one thing—her pitiful artiste was the current Film Emperor.

But what relationship was there to publicize?

His beloved Xiao Feng was now married to CEO Jun Zhen. What else could he do?

Film Emperor Ye had drunk himself to unconsciousness because of his broken heart. He didn't shed tears or get emotional. When he heard the news of the successful wedding ceremony, he silently went back to his condo and drank himself away.

Really pitiful, Xi Ning couldn't help but sigh to herself.

If not for her mission, she wouldn't mind helping this Film Emperor find himself a better woman.

With one last glance at the artiste she managed for the past couple of years, Xi Ning left Ye Jiang's condo.

Since both the main leads were now together, it's time to leave this world. But she couldn't just vanish without a trace unlike what was depicted in those popular novels on the web.

Transmigrators needed to make their disappearance logical and believable. Their systems could give them a helping hand, but they wouldn't do those overly unbelievable things like giving them overpowered skills.

Everything must be done based on their own capabilities.

Xi Ning was quite a capable woman herself. After completing countless mission worlds, she was already familiar with the process of "cutting off ties".

She had long prepared for this. Upon arriving in this world, she had started cultivating a successor who would be capable enough to replace her as Ye Jiang's manager.

This time, when she went back to the agency, it was not to book Ye Jiang's new assignment, it was to finish the handover procedures.

Once she was done handing over Ye Jiang's management to the successor she had cultivated, Xi Ning then booked herself a ticket to a cruise ship trip to a remote island, and en route, let her system bring her back to the Central Headquarters.

The agency knew that she wanted to retire to fulfill her lifelong dream of touring around the world. As to where she went specifically, no one knew.

It was only three days after, when Ye Jiang went to the agency, that he found out about Xi Ning's departure.

But by then, Xi Ning was long gone in this world.
