Blurb:

Ming Qi was a koi fish who had lived for almost a thousand years. Just before ascending, she managed to anger herself to death and transmigrated into the body of a notorious actress who shared her name.

Her first challenge was a matter of life and death:

Haters were blocking the company's entrance, threatening to pelt her with eggs if she dared show her face.

Ming Qi: ...Wouldn't I have to run???

That very day, Ming Qi hit the trending charts:

A certain actress isn't afraid of her haters. She weaves through a hail of eggs, tomatoes, and rotten cabbages without a scratch!

Onlookers: Tsk. She's pretty lucky.

At a food livestream, the other actress was poised and graceful, sitting elegantly as a beautiful backdrop.

Half an hour later, Ming, the second backdrop, was tired of sitting. Qi: I'm a little thirsty. I want some water.

That night, Ming Qi was once again dragged into a scandal by shameless marketing accounts:

Shocking! A young actress tosses aside her image and stuffs this into her mouth during a livestream? She even looks satisfied afterward!

Haters arrived at once: See? We told you Ming Qi has a messy private life! Here's the proof, here's the proof!

But when they opened the video, Ming Qi was hugging a drink and gulping it down, then letting out a contented burp.

Onlookers: That's it? She's kind of cute, actually?

-

Her manager, Brother Liang, thought Ming Qi was doomed, the kind of doomed where her career would be completely over.

What kind of actress behaves so shamelessly and disregards her image like that?

But the public found Ming Qi refreshing and genuine, nothing like the sultry, sleazy woman described in the rumors, and stepped up to clear her name.

Ming Qi came back to life.

Her haters changed sides, her reputation turned around, she became a regular on the trending charts, and the opportunities were fantastic.

Fans even dug up clips of her astonishing luck on variety shows and dubbed her "the human koi": Pray to Ming Qi, and you'll pass every exam; believe in Ming Qi, and your personal and professional lives will both flourish!

Her devoted followers came in waves.

Ming Qi, who only wanted to get by in the human world: Did I really become famous just like that???

Upcoming story: Pretty, Fussy, and a Viral Couch Potato

The show Ride the Rapids was highly anticipated even before it aired.

Netizen A: Have you heard? Yu Jian is on it!

Netizen B: Who?

Netizen C: That fussy star who wasted dozens of bottles of mineral water to bathe on set, cried outside a hotel when she couldn't get a five-star room during a show, and threw a tantrum and wrecked the makeup room because she wasn't dressed as expensively as the other actress!

Netizen B: Oh, I remember! Apart from being pretty, she's useless.

Netizens: The other guests better tear her apart! Teach her a lesson!

In the dance studio, her rival performed a difficult triple spinning kick, nearly planting her foot in Yu Jian's face: Look at me, you loser.

The audience: Fight! Fight!

Yu Jian, a couch potato spirit who had just descended to earth, clapped like a seal. "Wow!" "Amazing!" Then she spent the whole afternoon watching beautiful women dance.

Audience: Why is she playing the couch-potato role now?

Everyone knew that in the space of just six months, Yu Jian had soared to new heights by offending half the entertainment industry, only to see her career hit rock bottom.

As for this strange change in behavior, everyone guessed she had gone off the rails because her career was over.

But then...

The show was underfunded, conditions were harsh, there was no air conditioning in the scorching summer heat, and the competition uniforms were hideously ugly.

The other guests held their tongues.

Yu Jian angrily spoke up:

"It's too hot! Even the pigsty at the company next door has air conditioning."

"These clothes are so ugly! If we gave them to the auntie downstairs as rags, she'd kick the cloth and the bucket three meters away."...

Audience: ...She still has the same old flavor.

-

They say that training in the mortal world is bitter and difficult, and that you must endure every hardship to achieve your goal.

Yu Jian read through the script in her mind about enduring a long, bloody road to fame, then gave up on survival: You can't expect too much from a couch potato.

But then...

On Ride the Rapids, a show that should have provoked public outrage and a barrage of criticism, she became one of the audience's favorite guests.

She became a regular on the trending charts, turned her reputation around, landed one opportunity after another, and won widespread praise.

The viewers who had once cursed her and now become fans: Daughter, you're so pretty, how can you be content to be a couch potato? Get back to being fussy!

Upcoming story: Reborn, I Make a Mess of Things in the Entertainment Industry

Lin Ya was reborn.

She returned to her chaotic eighteenth year:

She had been accepted into the best film academy as the top student in her major, with a bright future ahead.

But she was also weighed down by her grandfather, who had Alzheimer's, and couldn't pay off his enormous debts.

In her previous life, she had worked herself to the bone, taking outside acting jobs while attending classes, all to become wildly famous. In the end, her career still crashed, and she became a laughingstock among everyone in her year.

Reborn at a crossroads in her life, she did three things:

1. Bought a lottery ticket for a drawing two days later, with a top prize of one hundred million.

2. Paid off all her debts.

3. Lay flat on the spot, let herself go, and started enjoying life as a happy couch potato.

-

A curse has circulated at the film academy for a hundred years: The top student in every incoming class is destined to flop.

No one has ever escaped its clutches.

Watching the innocent Lin Ya, the teachers all shook their heads sympathetically: What a good kid. Too bad she's going to flop.

But in her graduation year...

Lin Ya held all three major film awards and stood above the rest, famous throughout the entertainment industry.

Theme: Both luck and ability are important on the road to success.
