The Salty-Fish Supporting Actress Doesn't Want to Go Viral [Book Transmigration]

[The new novel, Peach Blossom Sprout Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder Stand-In, is now available!]

Pei Qingshi, a lingzhi mushroom spirit, transmigrates into the role of Ji Xichi's assistant. In the original story, the assistant betrays Ji Xichi when he falls ill and joins his sworn enemy, Shen Nian, the male lead. In the end, the assistant dies tragically on the street.

Pei Qingshi follows the convalescing Ji Xichi back to the countryside. To her surprise, a reality show featuring Shen Nian arrives right at their doorstep to film.

While Shen Nian is exhausted from baking in the sun,

Pei Qingshi is lounging around with Ji Xichi, eating chilled watermelon and salted fish;

While Shen Nian is scheming against the other show guests,

Pei Qingshi is admiring flowers and painting with Ji Xichi;

While Shen Nian is surrounded by scandals,

Ji Xichi has completely recovered.

After the show airs, Pei Qingshi, who accidentally appeared on camera, becomes a sensation: her painting sells at auction for tens of millions; the flowers she grows are endangered species; even her lazy, sprawled-out pose becomes a viral reaction image, "Fairy Lounging Like a Salted Fish.jpg."

Pei Qingshi: I'm so jealous of you all. If you're not famous, no one bothers you.

The other guests, fighting tooth and nail for more screen time: ???

Later, since Ji Xichi hasn't appeared in public for a long time, people online speculate wildly, and even a female entertainer takes the opportunity to leech off his fame.

Ji Xichi posts a photo: in a little courtyard full of flowers, the Movie Emperor Ji is concentrating on trimming the nails of a young girl. Sweet and delicate, she lounges carelessly in the Movie Emperor's arms, as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

Ji Xichi: I'm not dead. Busy. Don't bother me.

The new novel, Peach Blossom Sprout Transmigrates into a Stand-In, is now available!

Synopsis: Taotao is a peach blossom spirit who has just succeeded in taking human form when she accidentally transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder stand-in.

In the original story, her adoptive parents and fiance both treat the original girl as a stand-in for the heroine. Unwilling to accept it, the original girl makes a scene at every turn and meets a tragic end.

When Taotao transmigrates into the book, the original girl has yet to be adopted and is fighting street punks for food.

Taotao: Life is hard. This little one sighs.

Luckily, a long-legged uncle helps chase off the punks. Taotao, who is naturally good at recognizing romantic matches, sees a peach blossom blooming above his head.

Unable to support herself and unwilling to be adopted by the book's adoptive parents, Taotao turns and clings to the long-legged uncle. "Uncle, if you adopt me, I'll help you pursue that lady over there."

Long-Legged Uncle: ?!

Bai Yuan once adopted a daughter and treated her as a stand-in for his real daughter. It wasn't until the adopted girl died that he regretted it.

Reborn, Bai Yuan goes early to wait beneath the bridge where he once found his adopted daughter.

His legs go numb from crouching, but at last he sees her run over... and drop a coin into the broken bowl in front of him. "It's so cold today. You poor thing. Go buy yourself a bun."

Bai Yuan: ???

Su Xingxuan mistook Taotao for his first love, then coldly abandoned her after they got engaged. It wasn't until Taotao died that he felt guilty.

Given the chance to be reborn, Su Xingxuan immediately goes to find Taotao, hoping to make it up to her. Instead, he sees Taotao, who should have been his enemy, holding hands with his first love and getting along wonderfully.

Seeing Su Xingxuan, Taotao grabs her first love's hand and runs. "Stay away from that guy. There's something wrong with his brain. He's seriously ill."

Su Xingxuan: "..."
