Sister Shi: From Top-Tier Star to a Rising Government Official

Shi Yuan transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder character who tries to steal the male lead. Thinking of her fate, pelted with eggs, she announces on the spot, “I’m quitting the entertainment industry. I’ll make a run for it tonight, even if I have to carry a train!”

Her parents immediately issue an ultimatum: “Pass the civil service exam and you’ll get a car and a house.” Shi Yuan’s eyes widen like saucers. The civil service exam is her specialty! After three months of studying in seclusion, she grins like a fool at the government service center, holding her acceptance letter. A secure government job is unbelievably sweet.

Her haters lie in wait, expecting her to make a fool of herself, but instead they come across a video from the Social Security Bureau’s verified account. Shi Yuan, dressed in uniform, explains social security and ends with a finger heart: “Remember to pay your contributions!” The whole internet is stunned. “Did she actually land a government job in secret?” Shi Yuan pouts. “It’s the government service center, okay? You’re so ignorant!”

When a young actress in the industry gets exposed for a scandal, netizens discover she was the one Shi Yuan unfollowed. Everyone cries, “We’re following Sister Shi for the gossip!” Shi Yuan can’t convince anyone, so she heads to the countryside to help revitalize the village. She livestreams melon sales by day and sits by the fields at night, eating up the gossip about the male and female leads. Life is sweeter than the melons.

A hospital promotional video makes a neurosurgeon famous, and fans dig up his intimate interactions with Shi Yuan. They exclaim, “Sister Shi is right in the middle of the gossip field!” Shi Ning sighs. “Could it be that he really is my husband?”

A message pops up on her phone from the doctor: “I made soup. You must be exhausted from hauling corn.” Shi Yuan replies, “Running home now!” She thinks to herself: When the village melons are ripe, I’ll treat everyone to as much gossip as they can handle, and announce our relationship while I’m at it. Who says you can’t have a husband tucked away at a hospital?
