Su Xizhen, an art student, web novelist, indie game developer, and self-media creator, transmigrates three thousand years into the future with her old computer.
In the interstellar age, artificial intelligence takes care of everything. Humans just eat, sleep, fight, and operate AI.
It sounds like a dream, but Su Xizhen is an undocumented resident on a trash planet without a single coin to her name. Never mind buying a smart brain to fit into society and rely on AI to lie flat in comfort: she can't even afford cheap nutrient fluid!
To fill her stomach, Su Xizhen has no choice but to rummage through the trash, where she unexpectedly finds a smart brain on the verge of breaking down.
Its interface is frozen on an interstellar forum. The first post reads:
[Does anyone still know how to draw? I want to see what the old-era craft was really like. I'll pay 100,000 starcoins to watch them livestream for ten minutes. They can draw anything.]
Top comment: [Dream on! Ten minutes with a legendary talent like that would cost at least 100 million starcoins...]
Su Xizhen: ?
Wait, boss, are you saying you'll pay 100,000 for ten minutes of me doodling?!
She immediately went live!
Right after she started streaming:
[Trying to grab attention with a lost art from the old era? Streamer, are you trying to get yourself killed?]
[Laughing so hard. Someone from a trash planet claims they can draw? Who do you think you are?]
[What a lousy smart brain. You can't even see the picture clearly. Streamer, what kind of performance art is that black box you're using?]
Ten minutes later:
[Holy crap, this streamer really can draw!]
[Is drawing really this hard? What are all these layers?]
[Why was a talent like this buried on a trash planet?! Central Star administrators, what are you doing!!!]
Her livestream's popularity exploded for no apparent reason, and millions of starcoins poured in.
From then on, she livestreamed hand-drawing, writing, coding, making animation... All those lost old-era crafts made by hand were recreated one by one in Su Xizhen's streams.
Billions of users across the star network tuned in to her streams, experts analyzed them frame by frame, and leaders from every planet treated her as an honored guest.
As for Su Xizhen: ...What do you mean? I was just livestreaming while slacking off, and now I'm the richest person in the galaxy!

Entry from A Brief History of the Galaxy, [Su Xizhen]:
She rose from an undocumented resident on a trash planet to the entire galaxy's top-tier star. Through her own efforts, she revived the "handcrafted age" and became the faith and salvation of hundreds of billions of star citizens.
Later generations called her the "Old God" from three thousand years ago.
