Revenge Begins: Reincarnated as a Hated Idol!

’What is this mess? How can this happen?’

She was horrified by what had happened in just the span of three to four days while she was busy in her concert tour preparations.

Yes, she was aware of this scandal.

She knew how Lucian had been caught red-handed while trying to get Lisa to sleep with him.

She even felt delighted about it when she found out.

Why?

Because with Lucian gone, Iris would weaken as the candidate to inherit Titan Crest Entertainment, and her husband, Christian Valcourt, could become the most likely one to succeed the company.

After all, only Lucian was implicated by the scandal; no evidence against Titan Crest Entertainment was present.

As a behemoth in the entertainment industry, Titan Crest Entertainment didn’t look like it would suffer much from this scandal.

She thought only Lucian and Iris would be the ones taking damage while simultaneously benefiting her and Christian.

After all, she had married Christian only for his money.

Even though she was one of the top female idols of the country with a massive fan following, she knew she couldn’t live in luxury and power just from being an idol.

An idol’s career ends when they turn thirty, and they surely decline in popularity as younger idols replace them.

Feeling the same fear, she knew she had to secure a lifeline for herself, which would allow her to spend a luxurious and wealthy lifestyle filled with respect and power.

And what better candidate than her agency—’The’ Titan Crest Entertainment?

Titan Crest Entertainment had a valuation of 140 billion, an amount she couldn’t even dream of reaching in a lifetime.

Even top actors of the country only had a net worth of 3 to 5 billion Siera. Only some superstars who had ventured into production and investments had a net worth of 10 to 14 billion.

Even her own net worth as a top idol was only 300 million Siera.

Yes, she received endorsements worth 100 million Siera annually; however, the agency took a 60% cut in endorsements, and on top of that, there were high taxes, leaving her with only 30 million Siera, which would be spent on either her lucrative lifestyle or failed investments.

After realizing the difference between actors’ and Titan Crest Entertainment’s net worth, she couldn’t help but choose the wealthier and more powerful option.

She knew about the connections the chairman held.

How idols like her had to bow in front of him for opportunities.

If she could become the wife of the next chairman, how great would that be?

Thinking of that, she seduced Christian Valcourt and married him in secret, and that too with the chairman’s permission.

Neil also wanted to leverage her popularity so he didn’t have a problem with the marriage.

But now, everything she had dreamt of was crumbling.

She had thought that she would marry the next chairman of the agency, which was valued at 140 billion Siera.

Yet, here the valuation had halved in just a matter of days.

It was still a very high amount, something she couldn’t even dream of having; however, she knew it would dip a lot more.

It felt as if being bound by Titan Crest Entertainment with marriage wasn’t a great decision after all.

’Shit! I can’t even divorce him...’

She commented to herself in frustration.

Since she hadn’t made her marriage public, she also couldn’t announce her divorce. This was like a secret the chairman could use to keep her mouth shut and keep working for Titan Crest Entertainment.

She was regretting her decision to marry Christian at this moment; however, she knew she would need to stay by Titan Crest Entertainment’s side.

Thus, she typed a post, siding with Titan Crest Entertainment, urging fans not to boycott Titan Crest Entertainment.

[This scandal is really shameful. Lucian Valcourt needs to be punished severely. However, please don’t boycott my agency. Miss Iris must’ve acted alone to save her husband, but that doesn’t mean my agency should suffer because of it. Titan Crest Entertainment has been supporting me and many others diligently, building trust for over 20 years. Can you really judge them by a single incident? I will ask my fans to stand by me in such terrible times and support Titan Crest Entertainment. Thank you.]

She expected her fans to obey her and support Titan Crest Entertainment; however, their replies shocked her.

[Kira, my baby, you’re too cute and innocent. You cannot see the treacherous face of Titan Crest Entertainment. Please change your agency. We cannot see you suffering.]

[Kira, are you being blackmailed or forced to write this post? Don’t worry, just tell us the truth. We will support you.]

[Don’t be fooled, Kira. We were also fooled at first, but now we know the true face of Titan Crest Entertainment. Please leave their agency as fast as possible.]

She didn’t expect her protective fans, who would listen to her every request to oppose her, even to the extent of persuading her.

It seemed she really underestimated the impact the evidence video left on the people.

To gain a better understanding of the situation, she clicked on one of the trending topics to see the posts related to the scandal.

All the trending topics were related to Lisa’s scandal, so it didn’t matter which one she clicked on.

She then saw campaigns against Titan Crest Entertainment and actors signed with them.

My Sunshine, an anticipated drama from Phoenix, had been boycotted, and people were sharing the ranking tables as if flaunting their trophies.

It was as if they were celebrating some patriotic festival of their country. As if they were soldiers who had won a war.

There were even updates on which actors and artists changed agencies.

Whenever an actor left Titan Crest Entertainment, their followers would increase.

Meanwhile, the ones who were signed with Titan Crest Entertainment saw a sharp decline in the number of followers.

Now that she noticed it, even her own followers had declined by a million.

However, it was much less than what other actors faced.

Even popular brands had severed ties with popular actors who were associated with Titan Crest Entertainment.

After all, they wanted to sell their products to the public, and if the same public was banning Titan Crest Entertainment, they couldn’t hope to sign actors from the same agency to endorse their products.

That would be foolish.

When she scrolled a bit further, she noticed that even media houses were criticizing Titan Crest Entertainment, publishing article after article on them.

Some actors who had been wronged by Titan Crest Entertainment in the past were sharing their stories, fueling the public’s anger.

There were even small influencers spreading fake accusations that they were harassed by Titan Crest Entertainment’s agents, all in hopes of going viral.

Moreover, any fake accusations were being believed by netizens since Titan Crest Entertainment’s reputation had already fallen badly.

Then there were celebrities from other agencies, targeting and condemning celebrities who were still signed with Titan Crest Entertainment.

Additionally, platforms had distanced themselves from the agency, shelving dramas that were in production with actors from their agencies.

It was as if the whole entertainment industry was isolating them, leaving them to their doom.

All her dreams of ruling as the wife of the chairman of Titan Crest Entertainment were shattering in front of her eyes.

"No. I shouldn’t lose hope." She muttered, trying to believe her words herself. "The chairman should have a plan. Titan Crest Entertainment wouldn’t end like this."

She stared at the screen of her phone, and after a moment of silence, with trembling hands, a murmur escaped her lips.

"Right?"
