Shen Qingci, a legendary professor at a university of traditional Chinese medicine, opens her eyes to find herself cast as a professional cannon-fodder character in TV dramas.
In The Waves, she's the hidebound senior who obstructs Ren Tianzhen's innovations. In Go Go Squid!, she's the female counselor who criticizes the KK team for neglecting their proper work. In Ode to Joy, she's the distant relative who introduces Fan Shengmei to “courses in gold-digging.”
Viewers hate her to the point of grinding their teeth, and the characters call her a brain-dead idiot.
Then one day, a livestream System forcibly binds itself to her.

[Mission: Use acupuncture to treat Andy's anxiety on camera. Meet the viewership target to leave the storyline]
The whole internet erupts: “Did the villain's skill tree get messed up?”
Later, when the missing Han Shangyan has his old injury healed by her bone-setting techniques at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, when Qu Xiaoxiao begs her to teach Dr. Zhao about the Compendium of Materia Medica, and when Ren Tianzhen shows up clutching his family's inherited acupuncture manual and asks, “Senior Sister, could you teach me this technique?”...
Watching her points soar, Shen Qingci smiles. “Step one: get every male lead to book an appointment with me.”
