I Became Famous in Showbiz by Selling Jade Carvings

Shui Yiyao transmigrates into an entertainment-industry novel as a mermaid supporting character, a glamorous homewrecker who acts outrageously and keeps trying to steal the male lead from the female lead. Shui Yiyao: I'm just a hardworking jade carver. What did I ever do to anyone? During a major rural-life reality show, viewers wait in front of their screens to see what outrageous thing Shui Yiyao will do. This show is different from the usual ones. It has invited a senior researcher from the Institute of History to provide commentary, and a shameless attention-seeker like Shui Yiyao is sure to get chewed out. As the celebrities in front of her fight for the spotlight, openly and behind each other's backs, Shui Yiyao quietly heads to a corner, picks up a chainsaw and a piece of wood from beside the woodshed in the farmhouse courtyard, and starts carving. In just fifteen minutes, she finishes a little wooden cat carving that fits in the palm of your hand. When the camera turns to Shui Yiyao, the host pauses, then teases her: "Looks like Shui Yiyao was just bored." One of the guest commentators sneers, "A pretty face with no substance." But Mr. Yuan, sitting beside him, suddenly stands up. Staring at the object in Shui Yiyao's hand, he asks in confusion, "Play that back! Hair-fine carving? ... Incised line carving?" "This intangible cultural heritage technique was lost long ago! How did this master manage it?!" "Quick! Get me this master's contact information!" · Original owner: I'm a mermaid. Shui Yiyao: I know. Original owner: Mermaids are timid and sensitive, and easily hurt. Shui Yiyao: What do you mean? Original owner: Delicate, and prone to crying. Shui Yiyao: Cry? Whoever makes me cry, I'll make them cry! Shark clan leader: Shui Yiyao, you've gained weight. After saying that, the leader watches Shui Yiyao's reaction and smiles with satisfaction. Just as expected, she cries. But... wait, what's that huge hammer in her hand? Reading Guide: 1. Updates daily at midnight. 2. One-on-one romance, happy ending. 3.

Please add it if you like~ While feeding stray kittens below her apartment building, Qiao Wuchu has an accident and transmigrates into an infinite world. "Welcome, civilized people, to the [Civilized Horror Realm]. Earn points and survive by following the rules of civilization. Good luck! And whatever you do, don't go insane~" Qiao Wuchu is caught off guard and drops into her first instance while listening to the terrifying broadcast. She looks at the kitten in her palm, still smacking its lips after drinking powdered goat's milk. The girl and the cat stare into each other's eyes. Her teammates look at Qiao Wuchu, who is clearly a first-time visitor to the Civilized Horror Realm, then at the white kitten in her arms. Their faces fill with sympathy and pity. Everyone hopes to bring a missile for self-defense when they enter. If not, even a fire poker is a handy weapon. But what good is a cat? And a tiny kitten, at that, whose claws haven't even grown in yet? It couldn't even scratch hard enough to hurt anyone. The boss of this instance is a fly monster. Its physical attacks aren't very strong, but its mental attacks are devastating. One teammate after another watches their Sanity value plummet and nears a breakdown. Only Qiao Wuchu, holding the kitten, keeps her Sanity value, which represents mental strength, stable the entire time and withstands the boss's attacks with ease. Petting a cat restores Sanity! This truly is the greatest joy in life! Qiao Wuchu opens the point shop: cat food, cat litter, cat trees, buy, buy, buy! An arm-strengthening potion, for the cat boss! Qiao Wuchu always carries catnip. Any cat that appears in an instance is drawn to her. Qiao Wuchu: Kidnapping instead of buying! I'll give every cat in the world a home! Later, a cat cafe opens in the living area, where players can restore their Sanity. Petting a cat costs 10 points and restores 20 Sanity, making it a much better deal than the items in the point shop! And who doesn't love snuggling cats? No one can resist the joy of petting a cat, not even ghosts. A blood-covered female ghost visits Qiao Wuchu in a dream and smiles shyly. "Boss Qiao, I'll give you a guide to this instance if you bring your cats over to play~ That long-haired lion cat, she's so cute! Hehe!" Qiao Wuchu: ...80 points. Female ghost: Fine, 100 points! I want your lion cat to come here in person, and that one, the white one, too. Qiao Wuchu smiles politely. "Of course, ma'am. For two cats, there'll be an extra charge. If you sign up for a monthly plan, you can get 20% off." Visit my profile to add it to your reading list~ If you like my stories, please add me as an author too.
