Reborn as a Salty-Fish Actress [Entertainment Industry]

During summer classes after eighth grade, Gu Xinan fell asleep on her desk and dreamed through a miserable life.

She woke with a start and fought her way through every obstacle to protect her family. Along the way, she also attracted a haughty little glutton.

The little glutton lived in her house, slept in her princess bed, and got into trouble and hurt himself every day.

And just like her koi System, the little glutton kept urging her to work hard and make something of herself.

"As long as I don't starve, I'm good. Why work so hard?"

The little glutton/System: "No slacking off!"

Thanks to their tireless efforts, Gu Xinan became a frequent hot-search topic, making her rivals green with envy. When they heard she had no powerful connections, they brought out every trick in the book to make trouble for her.

The result:

A famous computer genius: "Anyone who messes with my sister gets hacked!"

A renowned top lawyer: "Treat her like that and you'll see me in court!"

A genius director: "Touch my goddess and you'll have me to answer to!"

An entertainment-industry big shot: "She's under my protection."

Her rival: "...I thought you said she had no connections?"

After everyone rallied to her defense, at a film promotion event:

Host: "I hear they're all your younger brothers?"

Gu Xinan (exhausted): "No. The last one is my sworn enemy. If it weren't for him, I'd be at home collecting rent instead of working!"

Entertainment-industry big shot: "???"

New book: After Becoming a Caged Canary, I Became Famous

Ning Qi, a cultivator from the apocalypse, woke up to find herself a brainless canary kept by a crazed villain.

Looking at the enormous mansion filled with countless servants, the delicious meals she could eat without risking her life to act, and the beautiful, glittering clothes, Xiu Luo Qi declared: "I'm in!"

And so...

The director of a copycat variety show that gets universally trashed said, "Do whatever you want. This is the last episode anyway."

Ning Qi: "Got it!"

She turned and dove into the sea, swimming alongside a giant whale, her strokes graceful as a mermaid of the deep.

The safety crew panicked: "Wait, you haven't put on your oxygen tank!!!"

The audience: "It's composited! It has to be!"

The producer of a shoddy, over-the-top online drama said, "We're only here to promote the female lead. Everyone else can just phone it in."

Ning Qi: "Understood!"

She turned, pushed off on her toes, and leaped from a six-meter cliff, her clothes fluttering like a fairy from the Jade Pool.

The stunt crew screamed: "Wait, the safety rope isn't attached!!!"

The audience: "It's a publicity stunt! It absolutely is!"

Her financial backer, Fu Chongxiao: "Give me your shoe."

Ning Qi: "Okay!"

She turned and kicked her slipper straight into his face with her right foot.

The assistant choked back tears: "Miss Ning, you're so awesome!!!"

The audience: "It's scripted! It definitely... ahhhhh, it's the devil Fu Chongxiao! We believe you! We believe you, okay? Please, daughter, stop trying to get yourself killed! We don't want to fish you out of the river, ahhhhh!"
