Unlocking the Blue Star Collection

[The story has entered its second half. Feel free to start reading! I'll update according to the rankings when there are rankings, and do my best to update daily even without them.]

Qiao Yuan lives on Z Star in 3065, where resources are scarce and life is monotonous. One day, she is transported to Blue Star, one month before the apocalypse. The System tells her she must complete the entire Blue Star civilization encyclopedia to get back. Since she's already here, she might as well roll up her sleeves and get to work!

Biology, daily life, production, nature, culture... Why is this encyclopedia so enormous?! And now escalating natural disasters are joining in, too!

Overwhelmed by the endless grind, Qiao Yuan is ready to quit. The System says: “To ensure the Host's safety, we've unlocked the latest technology from Z Star. Great quality at a low price. You can't go wrong!”

Qiao Yuan: “I'm back in business!”

Much, much later, back on Z Star, Qiao Yuan munches on golden, crispy fried chicken with her left hand and picks up a freshly harvested milk strawberry with her right. Once her mouth is free, she sighs, “To hell with being someone's substitute...”

After She Takes Over the Underworld, She Conquers the Entertainment Industry

She is Mu Zhen, born extraordinary. From a young age, she shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting her country, fortunately growing up with a group of people looking after her.

He is Li Xi, born into darkness. At a young age, he learns to kill decisively, fortunately with her help to hold on to his true self.

The Twelve Zodiac members: “We really did take good ‘care’ of little Mu Zhen!”

One challenge at a time, she'll overcome them all!

Rooster: “I've taught you plenty of grappling and combat. Time to put it to the test...”

Dragon: “You've read every medical book I own over the years. It's time to get some experience on the battlefield...”

Monkey: “You have one year to turn one yuan into a hundred million...”

Eight years later, she faces the final challenge, standing before Li Xi, the leader known as “Rat”...

After an accident causes abnormal cellular activity, she becomes the leader of the Twelve Zodiac. She'll live a free life alongside this family of mentors and friends.

The Twelve Zodiac members who watched Mu Zhen grow up would never let her down. Each of them makes a name for themselves in their field, all so they can give her a seat at the table. From then on, the sky's the limit: our little Mu Zhen can do whatever she wants!

What does grown-up Mu Zhen want to do? She wants it all: education, love, and a career!

Everything else is easy enough, except for love... She needs Li Xi to face his feelings for her.

So after Mu Zhen enters the entertainment industry, she quietly confesses to him when she wins an award. She knows he'll understand!

But what about Li Xi? After congratulating her on winning... that's it? That's really it?!

From Li Xi's perspective:

He is Samuel, a name that symbolizes divine favor and carries his mother's hopes and love for him.

But now he is Samael, the “Angel of Death” and Satan's true name. Only those close to him call him “Big Brother” or “Boss.” Or they call him by his mother's surname: Li Xi.

But as far as he can remember, Mu Zhen has never called him Big Brother. She calls him Samuel, or Li Xi.

For eight years, he watched the little fledgling grow into a proud peregrine falcon.

Love had quietly taken root. How could he not fall for her, stubborn as she was, clever as she was, passionate as she was, kind as she was...

But he was a mistake born of darkness, a vicious beast struggling in the mud, a coward who couldn't bring himself to confess his feelings, and a possessive man who would never let go once he had her.

Afraid she might have a fledgling's attachment to him, he encouraged her to meet accomplished men from all walks of life and let her enter the entertainment industry to admire handsome faces. Besides, there was no shortage of people close to her who were deeply in love with her...

Heaven knows how hard he had to struggle to keep his hands from trembling and his emotions from spiraling after watching the award ceremony livestream.

The young woman was so wonderful. Mu Zhen deserved the best man in the world!

Mu Zhen: “There's no one in this world I'd humble myself and beg, and that includes you! I confessed because I like you. Samuel, I like you. Do you dare to like me back? I can't beg you to love me, but maybe... I can be cruel and shut you out of my heart forever!”

Mu Zhen: “Look into your own heart, Li Xi. I'm giving you one last chance. Put your hand over your heart and tell me your answer...”

Samuel Li Xi: “After all the twists and turns, you still choose to stay by my side. Since you've chosen me, and you won't regret it, then I'll never let you go again, not until death.”

At last, the dawn finally shone into his life. Li Xi had seen the first light of day when he first met her, just as his mother had hoped. With her by his side, the future was filled with hope...
