Who is still a star after rebirth?

Chapter 3 Why Secretary Kim is like that

"I'll buy some clothes and change my hairstyle..."

Lin Luo thought so, but then he realized that he seemed to have no money in his pocket.

It’s okay to ask your family for money, but your mom will definitely nag you. This is usually the case for families with poor economic conditions. It’s better to find a way to make money on your own.

It's too difficult for an 18-year-old high school student to make money.

But for those who have been reborn, making money is still very easy. If Lin Luo is willing to make his debut now, based on the memories about the future in his mind, he will probably become a top star in the domestic entertainment industry soon.

but……

Who wants to be a star after being reborn?

Anyway, Lin Luo doesn't want to be a star in this life, so he should find a way to make money without any cost and without leaving home.

After a little thought, Lin Luo quickly came up with a plan.

Isn't writing novels a way to make money without leaving home and with little cost?

Lin Luo likes to read novels very much. He has a wide range of tastes and can accept both male and female novels. He is interested in a wide variety of topics.

Lin Luo could remember a little about which novels would become popular in later generations and what those novels were about.

Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to directly copy the original text of the novel you have read. After all, I have just been reborn and I don’t have any legendary system to rely on.

However, Lin Luo's requirements were very low. He just wanted to earn some pocket money by writing a short online novel.

“It seems that online novels that are relatively short and profitable can only be found in the female section.”

Nowadays, if a regular male novel doesn’t have more than one or two million words, you’d be embarrassed to say hello to people on the street because you can’t make much money with too few words.

In comparison, female-oriented novels do not have this problem. The fastest they can be put on the shelves is 50,000 words, and the slower ones can be put on the shelves with 100,000 words. A completed novel of 200,000 words can still make money. There are many such novels, and many of them are very popular.

Lin Luo remembered a novel that was quite suitable.

The full text is only more than 200,000 words, and the name seems to be "My Secretary".

In fact, it is a very popular domineering CEO novel among female readers. The male protagonist is a group president with perfect looks and extraordinary strength.

The heroine is a secretary with almost perfect abilities. She has worked hard for nine years and has always been by the hero's side.

However, for some reason, the capable secretary suddenly decided to resign one day, which made the male protagonist distressed. He found that after working together for so many years, he could no longer do without this secretary...

The subsequent content of the novel almost revolves around this point, with various plots of the male CEO pursuing his wife in various ways.

Lin Luo was quite impressed by this book. It was short enough and quite popular. He could barely remember the outline, so he thought it would be a waste not to copy it.

If I remember correctly, this book will not be released until 2018. With such a long time interval, the original author should not have thought of this story at this time, right?

It doesn't matter if you think of it. Firstly, it is impossible for Lin Luo to copy the original text. Secondly, to be on the safe side, he will make some changes to avoid some situations.

For example, the name of the novel could be changed directly to "Why Secretary Kim Is Like That". Doesn't that sound pretty good?

Let’s change the male lead’s name to Lee Young-joon and the female lead’s name to Kim Mi-woong.

These names came to mind on a whim, and they seemed to make sense, so let's just leave it like this. Lin Luo made up his mind and prepared to start writing.

After all, he only had the story outline in his mind, and he had to fill in and polish the actual plot himself, which required certain writing skills.

Fortunately, Lin Luo has loved literature since childhood and has read enough novels. After years of exposure, his writing ability is quite good, and he should be considered a bit talented.

You should know that his writing skills were very high in high school and he even won the second prize in the New Concept Writing Competition. Its value is quite high. Several very famous young writers in China have won this award.

Lin Luo turned on his computer and downloaded a software called "Happy Coding". He began to polish the preliminary outline of the novel. As he was writing, he found that he seemed to have overestimated his memory.

He said he would copy a popular book of later generations, but in fact, apart from some major directions, he had to compile 90% of the content himself. There is not much difference between this and writing an original book directly.

"Sure enough, even if I'm reborn, it's not that easy to copy books."

Having said that, Lin Luo did not give up. At worst, he would just write original works.

After ten minutes of procrastination, Lin Luo finally came up with a decent outline:

[At the drinking party, everyone is discussing the recent hot figure Li Yingjun. Li Yingjun is handsome and capable. Since he took office, the group's profits have doubled, but he does not allow any woman to touch him, which makes the outside world imagine...]

I didn't expect that the fine thread could be polished so smoothly.

Various plots kept jumping out from the depths of his mind, so smoothly that Lin Luo himself was a little shocked. He couldn't help but have an idea:
Am I really a writing genius?
Although the content of his detailed outline was completely different from the original work, Lin Luo was not sure whether readers would buy it. But considering that he just wanted to earn some pocket money, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Lin Luo doesn't have high demands and doesn't expect what he writes to be as popular as the original.

Thinking of this, Lin Luo threw away his messy ideas and directly expanded the main text based on the detailed outline he had polished.

In the quiet bedroom, time passed by little by little amid the sound of keyboard tapping.

When Lin Luo stopped writing, he was shocked to find that it was already two o'clock in the morning.

I actually wrote over 10,000 words in one breath!

Looking at the content again, the plagiarism rate compared to the book "My Secretary" is estimated to be less than 10%?

Lin Luo couldn't help but laugh and cry. He could only suggest that if the reborn person does not have a system and does not have a certain level of writing and creative ability, he should not be a plagiarist.

The price/performance ratio is really not high.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Luo checked the more than 10,000 words he had just written. After making sure there were no problems, he decided to publish the book directly. He was too lazy to save up manuscripts, so he just sent them all out in one go in order to get them on the shelves as soon as possible to make money.

To publish a novel, you must first find a reliable website. However, Lin Luo is a senior online novel reader after all, and he is also familiar with the major online novel sites.

After a little thought, he chose "Yunqi Academy" as the publishing platform, which is a specialized website for women.

To register an author account, one needs to choose a pen name. Lin Luo typed twice casually on the keyboard, and the word "September" popped up in the input bar.

September?

What a coincidence! September is the month I was born, and this pen name just happened to be unused, so I just clicked confirm.

Writer "September" registered successfully.

Lin Luo then named the novel "Why Secretary Kim is Like That" and uploaded the more than 10,000 words he had already written into five chapters.

Next, just wait for the website's book publishing review to be approved.

The prototype of "Why Secretary Kim" is a very popular Korean drama.
