The Top-Tier Star Is Three Thousand Years Old

[Next up: "Transmigrated into the Female Lead's Evil Mother-in-Law"] There's an old saying: Evil people live a thousand years. Ji Rong had no idea what she'd done to deserve it, but she'd become a woman even Death had forgotten. She was born when the Shang dynasty was in decline and the Zhou clan was rising. By now, she'd lived for three thousand years. Rumor had it that the famous pretty face Lu Rongrong had climbed to fame through backroom deals, sabotaged her teammates, stolen opportunities, and committed every kind of misdeed... until one day, everyone realized she'd changed. A month ago, she was too weak to do anything for herself. Now she could carry the whole team through a wilderness survival challenge. She could play the guzheng, guqin, pipa, and flute, and was skilled at dancing, singing, acting, and variety shows. Her street-style outfits shot to the top of the trending charts and made her an instant sensation. Then she took down a fugitive with a lock-and-hold technique. Netizens were stunned. Was this really the pretty face everyone talked about?! Lu Rongrong became a sensation overnight, rose to top-tier star status, disproved all the rumors, delivered face-slapping to her haters across the internet, and became the most popular female star of the day. The haters refused to give up: Being kept by a sugar daddy and climbing the ladder through backroom deals has to be true, right? The next day, the supposed "sugar daddy" himself angrily spoke up: Who started that rumor?! Lu Rongrong has more money than I do! Who's keeping whom here?! Later, a reality show visited Lu Rongrong's home. The three-ring courtyard house and a whole room of antique treasures she'd kept hidden for years were revealed to the public for the first time. At last, netizens believed her. [This woman can't possibly have a sugar daddy. Who could afford to keep her?!] [She's so low-key for a beauty! If I had a courtyard house, I'd be slapping the property deed on everyone's face!] [Wait, why are there men's ties in Lu Rongrong's home?] [That tie... isn't it the one Jiang Wuyi wore on the red carpet a couple of days ago?] ***Notes*** There are no real-life inspirations. The entire story is fictional, and all the settings are made up. [Upcoming story: "Transmigrated into the Female Lead's Evil Mother-in-Law"] Yun Yuexian transmigrated into a book. In the book, the male lead was a promising young CEO of a publicly listed company, while the female lead was a beautiful young woman with a modest reputation in show business. They met and fell in love, with just one major obstacle: the male lead's stepmother. The stepmother was aloof and hard to approach. She made things difficult for the female lead at every turn, forced her to quit show business, and demanded that she have three children after marriage, even before they were married. She was the very picture of an evil mother-in-law. Yun Yuexian: Why should women make life difficult for other women? If my bargain-bin son has a partner, of course I'll wish them well! That's right, she'd transmigrated into the evil mother-in-law. Green River Video launched its first mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show, "Mother-in-Law and Mom," and the announcement trended that same day. Everyone knew Yun Yuexian was only President Gu's stepmother, but they'd heard that she often threw her weight around with Su Yuyao. They were eager to see what sparks would fly when this pair of future in-laws, with their complicated relationship, appeared on the show! When the show aired, netizens were stunned. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door were busy with household chores and bickering over family matters. Yun Yuexian and Su Yuyao played games, watched web dramas, drank milk tea, and ordered takeout. The mother-in-law next door scolded her daughter-in-law for staying up late and sleeping in every morning. Yun Yuexian and Su Yuyao surfed the internet until three every night and never opened their eyes before mealtime. The mother-in-law next door accused her daughter-in-law of spending recklessly and not understanding how hard it was to support a family. Yun Yuexian kept sending Su Yuyao pocket money, with every transfer starting at six figures. The mother-in-law next door urged her daughter-in-law to have a second or third child, hoping for a boy. Yun Yuexian held Su Yuyao with one hand and her younger son, who had just started middle school, with the other. "Sis, it doesn't matter whether you have kids or not. With the relationship we have, my son is your son too." The overbearing CEO, Gu Eldest: ? The astronaut who'd just landed, Gu Second: ?? The rising top-tier star who'd chased his dream in show business, Gu Third: ??? Netizen 1: Wait, where did you get so many sons? Netizen 2: Mother-in-law! Do you have any daughters-in-law left for us? An anonymous forum: [Gu Second and Gu Third aren't even Yun Yuexian's biological children. Their achievements are the result of their own hard work. What does Yun Yuexian have to do with it? What makes her think she can call herself their mother?] [Yun Yuexian's biological fourth son looks kind of dim-witted. That must be where her genes show up.] A few years later, fourteen-year-old Gu Little Fourth skipped three grades and was admitted to Qing University. Yun Yuexian changed her social media username overnight: Yun "Qing University Is Pretty Good" "Gu Four's Mom" Yuexian. Theme: Love life, and live in the present
