[The blurb for my upcoming work, The Universe’s Number One Temp, is below. If you like it, please add it to your favorites. Mwah!]

To escape the fate of being reduced to a breeding tool, Ruan Meng smuggled herself to Blue Star, only to get stuck at the landing site over a travel permit.

The authorities: Even after we take your junky spaceship, you’ll still owe us fifty million.

With her pursuers closing in, she ruthlessly plucked a feather from her own tail and grabbed the handsome security officer. “Boss, look, this feather is big, long, and shiny, and it can grant humans any wish. Think it’s worth fifty million?”

Rong Yuan: “...It’s worth it.”

Ruan Meng traded the feather for a husband, and the residence permit problem was solved. Except... she was fifty million in debt.

To pay it off, she discussed work with Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan: “What are you good at?”

Ruan Meng: “Does scavenging count? I grew up on a garbage planet. I’ve been in charge of all the trash in that area, from the oldest to the newest...”

Rong Yuan: “...”

After finally saving enough points to return to her own world, quick transmigration System worker Ban Ban discovered that it was a spin-off world based on a sweet interstellar romance novel.

In the book, she was the vicious supporting female character who used schemes to cling to the male lead. After the male and female leads fell in love, she repeatedly targeted the heroine and ultimately suffered a ruined reputation and a fall from grace.

Ban Ban returned right at a turning point in the plot. The male lead looked guilty and said he wanted to make it up to her, but she cut off his rambling with a blank expression. “Just pay me. I nearly got disfigured because of you, after all.”

With a hefty payout in hand, Ban Ban decisively left the protagonist’s group and went back to her everyday life as a temp.

Later, the Interstellar Bounty Hunters’ Alliance gained a legendary figure, code-named “Ban,” who appeared out of nowhere. In just three months, she completed every difficult mission that no one had been able to solve in the previous ten years, raking in countless rewards.

No one could have guessed that the legendary Ban was currently sunbathing outside her workshop, while a loudspeaker at the entrance kept shouting: “Grand opening! We take on all kinds of jobs: finding pets, dealing with the other woman, beating up scumbags, repairing spaceships, building mechs, driving off interstellar pirates... We do it all! Don’t walk past without stopping!”
