[Next novel: "Miss Wants to Pair Me Up": The young lady marries the young master, the maid gets paired with the page. Me? I'm invincible!
After quick transmigration through 99 worlds and collecting 99 different ways to die, Xue Ning finally retired early and went home.
Her hometown is the setting of an occult entertainment-industry novel. She's the cannon-fodder foil to the lucky female lead.
They join the same paranormal livestreaming variety show. The lucky female lead plays up her persona as an occult girl, catches ghosts on the show, and becomes famous.
Xue Ning, meanwhile, is mocked by everyone for being stubborn, antisocial, and an atheist. In the end, a ghost kills her.
But that's no big deal. After returning from quick transmigration, who doesn't have a golden finger?!
Xue Ning calmly pulls out her retirement perk: an SSS-rank dress-up System.
The next second, the System activates and the River God's Sacrifice card takes effect. Xue Ning transforms on the spot:
Her lips are blood red, a bridal gown covers her, and eerie background music begins to play. An indescribable, terrifying presence starts to spread...
The evil ghosts drop to their knees in unison: "Great and noble god, above us..."
The staff members with guilty consciences go mad and kowtow desperately: "I'm guilty! I shouldn't have framed Xue Ning..."
The female lead, who claims to be an heir to the occult arts, turns pale: "Run! Something terrifying is coming!"
The guests huddled together: "How can anything be this terrifying?"
The camera shifts. The music suddenly stops. Wearing an ancient bridal gown, Xue Ning slowly approaches, radiating a beauty so frightening no one can bear to look at her.
Netizens: "Terrifying! Truly terrifying! Her beauty really is a terrifying force!"
*
Her bridal gown look goes viral. Her beauty wins her fans, and her abilities turn public opinion in her favor. Xue Ning's retirement gets off to a smooth start.
Although all the cards in the dress-up System depict bizarre ways she died in her mission worlds, it's no big deal.
After all, this is an occult novel, where ghosts are everywhere and occult masters are a dime a dozen.
Is it really so strange if she occasionally transforms into a resentful River God's Sacrifice, a school-ghost-story beauty accompanied by tentacles, or a ruthless female sword cultivator who cuts through ten thousand obstacles with a single stroke?
Even if she has terrifying background music, forcibly binds nearby ghosts as her underlings, and leaks an eerie aura that can drive people insane... surely that's still perfectly ordinary, right?
The occult world (cursing furiously): Where did this cheater come from?! Have some sportsmanship!
The authorities (beaming with joy) (shouting themselves hoarse) (warmly welcoming her): "Boss! No need to hold back! Do whatever you want! We've got your back!"
*
During the "Spirit Seekers" livestream, the lucky female lead doggedly maintains her persona as an occult girl.
"I know this formation..." (but I can't break it)
"I've heard of this dark magic. It's very..." (save yourselves)
"Everyone, run! This thing is hard to handle..." (this is way beyond the scope of the assignment, ahhh)
Xue Ning: Did you deliberately leave me a chance to show off?
The lucky female lead is so nice~
An evil entity attacks the students. Wearing a school uniform and surrounded by tentacles, Xue Ning rises into the air and hacks away with wild abandon, instantly emptying the boss's health bar.
When ignorant, vicious villagers surround her, Xue Ning creates a miracle beneath the red moon, giving them the karmic retribution they deserve.
A vicious practitioner of dark magic is about to unleash a powerful move, but in the next second the backlash hits, and blood pours from all seven orifices.
After the variety show goes viral, Xue Ning answers questions in an interview with an earnest expression: "I flew because I was on wires. The red moon was a special effect, the tentacles were tree shadows, and the blood was tomato juice..."
Netizens: "Here she goes again, putting on that face like she's about to fool a bunch of idiots!"
It's hilarious. No one believes her. The gossip-hungry public is convinced that Xue Ning is a low-key occult master pretending to be an ordinary person.
As it happens, the ghost world thinks so too.
The ghosts (bringing their families along as they prepare to defect): "Brothers and sisters, the celebrity Xue Ning can send ghosts into reincarnation!"
And so Xue Ning, who only wants to lie flat, is forced to become the backbone of countless ghosts, who gather around her and hail her as the God of All Ghosts.
Even the authorities secretly support her, giving her an official position, protecting her reputation, and helping her become a celebrity. In the end, she really does ascend to godhood.
Xue Ning: ...
What was I trying to do when I came back, again?
Oh, retire!
[Bonus scene]
At the Quick Transmigration Bureau, the director points to the number-one entry on the wall of shame and speaks in a world-weary tone: "Do you think she always fails her missions because she's incompetent?"
No. It's because she keeps falling in love with the paranormal villains!
A new recruit asks naively: "Are you trying to teach us not to be so blinded by love?"
The director: "No. I'm saying, if you're going to fall in love, don't pick a freak who can chase you into every world." (The couple breaks one world after another, and the rest of us have to clean up their messes. We're almost bankrupt.)
Reader notes:
1. The original female lead is not a good person. She's more of a minor boss, so please be warned if that bothers you.
2. There is a male lead, but not much romance.
**Pre-release: The Lord of Urban Legends Becomes the Atmosphere Crew in a Wealthy Family's Melodramatic Romance**
**Blurb:
Cheng Xing is the protagonist of Jiangda High School's famous "girl ghost who picks up pens" urban legend, and the master of Jiangcheng's 18 great urban legends.
After her powers grow, she unexpectedly becomes the biological daughter recently found by the wealthy Cheng family: an ugly, timid pushover.
The fragile fake heiress and the rich young master are passionately in love, acting out an ethical drama every day.
Poor Cheng Xing gets dragged into their "Will you choose me or her?" and "That country bumpkin isn't nearly as pretty as you" play.
Enraged, Cheng Xing summons her underlings to sing a creepy nursery rhyme by the pair's ears for a whole month.
They become so frightened that they tremble whenever they meet, and lose all interest in their tragic romance.
Her love-struck mother and mother-in-law are locked in a battle of wits, acting out a domestic power struggle every day.
Cheng Xing becomes the victim in their mystery play: "Who poisoned my poor daughter?" and "Was the killer her wicked mother or her white-lotus mother-in-law?"
After being poisoned and dying once, Cheng Xing can't take it anymore. She summons a group of urban legends that like to hop around at night, and has them play marbles, bounce balls, and play hide-and-seek whenever the two women are asleep. They become so scared that they can't sleep at night and have to catch up during the day, leaving them no energy for family power struggles.
Her scumbag father is obsessed with making money and locked in a constant business rivalry with the villain.
Only Cheng Xing is unlucky enough to get dragged into their vicious corporate-war play: "Pay up or we'll tear up the hostage" and "Go ahead and tear her up. That cheap daughter is ugly anyway."
Cheng Xing is furious. She transforms into the Lord of Urban Legends on the spot, takes control of the kidnappers, kidnaps her own father, and gives him the psychological suggestion, "Your daughter is your father, so you must honor her."
And so the Cheng family's roster of abnormal members gains a Mr. Cheng who calls his daughter "Dad."
What wealthy-family melodrama?
The Cheng family just wants to buy some black dog blood to ward off evil spirits!
(The original blurb is a little long, so only part of it is included.)

I finished watching it and I really liked it, but there were too few costume changes. I didn't change them a few times. It would have been nice to have more of this part of the plot.
Hey, I really wish I could hide Yuan well and release the last episode. This is my least favorite type of male protagonist since I read a book.
Hahahahahahahahaha
This kind of person can actually be a good person in seven generations?
Su Moumou's golden finger is the system, so it makes sense for him to be so weird, but I didn't expect that his golden finger was in the entertainment industry. It's interesting.
Wow! You can enter the world corresponding to the card at will! This gold finger is so big, I like it

Vocal judge pen?
How much power does someone named Tao have to insert himself into this program to seek death? Didn't the state intervene in the program? Just let an old lady come in and cause trouble so casually?
I hope the heroine will not care about Tao, who is just relying on her old age and selling her old age. Even if she saves her in the end, she will pretend to be aloof.
