Forced to Become a Top Student in a Lucky Carp Novel

After completing her final quick transmigration mission, Gu Qiao is sent to retire in an entertainment-industry lucky-star novel.

The heroine of the novel is the favored daughter of Heaven. She calls herself a couch potato, but is really a lucky charm. Gu Qiao, meanwhile, is a cannon-fodder character who opposes her and meets a miserable end.

But that’s fine. Gu Qiao chose the financial-planning System in the Retiree Assistance System long ago. As long as she stays away from the heroine, she can enjoy a comfortable retirement, collecting money while lying around every day!

But could someone tell her why there are only two hundred yuan in her account?

What’s the point of managing two hundred yuan?! What retirement?! Time to get to work!!!

As for the heroine, Heaven’s favorite? Gu Qiao, a seasoned veteran, says: As long as I run fast enough, misfortune can’t catch me!

And so...

When the heroine draws attention on a talent show by acting like a couch potato, Gu Qiao wows the whole audience with a sword dance, then quits the show without hesitation and runs off that very night to be an extra on a film set.

When the heroine finally gets lucky and debuts as the show’s center, Gu Qiao earns a famous director’s favor through her own abilities and lands the lead role in his drama.

When the heroine starts acting in dramas to change her image, Gu Qiao makes a quick appearance, takes a spot on a reality show, and becomes an internet sensation with her agile moves and endless array of skills.

Watching her money make more money, the number in her account growing longer and longer, retirement just around the corner, Gu Qiao is quite pleased. There is just one little surprise.

Why does the young heir to the biggest media company in the industry look more and more like the little demon she casually picked up and raised in the cultivation world?

She tentatively tests him: "Qi Zhi?"

At the sound of the name, Lu Qi's eyes freeze in sudden recognition. Then he narrows them dangerously. "So it really is you, my cold-hearted, ungrateful, cruel, and heartless good master, who seduced me and then abandoned me."

Gu Qiao: "..." Th-that’s some intense resentment.

One day, Gu Qiao gives an interview to a well-known magazine.

Interviewer: "What are your plans for the future, Qiao Qiao?"

Gu Qiao: "Retire once I’ve earned two big goals, and spend my days relaxing. Maybe raise... um, make a few male... friends who are 188 centimeters tall and have eight-pack abs."

The interviewer gapes. "A few? How many?"

Gu Qiao, her smile frozen: "One. I misspoke. Hehe."

After the interview, in a shadowy corner where no one can see them, someone pins Gu Qiao against the wall and whispers, "I’m 188 centimeters tall and have eight-pack abs. I can even give you all my big goals. So, how about considering raising only me, hmm? Master..."
