“Ding! Target’s embarrassment level reached the threshold. Public humiliation points +200!”
Pingning, the owner of a neighborhood cosmetics shop, pinched some crushed rouge between her fingers and smiled at the red-faced fabric merchant across from her. “Mr. Wang, how come this ‘Suzhou embroidery’ fabric fades to the color of a rag after just one wash?”
She thought it was just an ordinary business rivalry. Who could have guessed she’d be bound to a System that collected feelings of “awkwardness and humiliation”? Want to trade for a rare rouge formula?
First turn the face-slapping scene into a fountain of fun!
From tearing into dishonest merchants who cut corners, to turning the tables on a fake heiress who comes looking for trouble, to transforming a rich family’s backhanded banquet into a hilarious spectacle, Pingning uses three parts sharp tongue and two parts composure to turn face-slapping into the whole city’s top-tier star performance.
Even better, Lin Xun, the elite lawyer who’s always stone-faced, may turn red at the tips of his ears whenever she roasts him, but he insists on wearing gold-rimmed glasses and acting aloof. Every time he struggles not to laugh, he contributes a big pile of public humiliation points…
“System notification: You are now the city’s most dazzling attention-seeker!” This is what you call making money with elegance, and picking up a lawyer as your face-slapping partner along the way.
