One day, Song Xiaoyin gets bound to a card-drawing System. From then on...

SR sweet and gentle alchemy cultivator: Sister, are you hurt here? My heart aches for you.

SSR aloof sword cultivator: Which move don't you know? I'll show you again.

SP seductive Demon Lord: Who bullied you? I'll go teach them a lesson.

Song Xiaoyin frowns and hands out good-person cards to the characters crowding closer and closer: You're wonderful, but I still like my senior brother.

The System sneers and tosses Song Xiaoyin a novel with a tattered cover.

Completely baffled, Song Xiaoyin opens it and discovers that the heroine has the same name as her, while the male lead is none other than her senior brother, Chi Qi.

Chi Qi is naturally coldhearted. After silently accepting five years of Song Xiaoyin's devotion, he makes her kneel in the snow and sleep on the floor, then later has her pierced by ten thousand arrows and abandons her in the Demon Pit.

Only after she dies does Chi Qi come to his senses. He goes to great lengths to revive Song Xiaoyin, then starts a new round of heartbreak.

Song Xiaoyin thinks of her senior brother's cold face, angrily throws the book on the ground, and resolutely throws herself into the arms of the characters from the card pool.

Why suffer heartbreak for love? Wouldn't it be better to have powerful people help her ascend to immortality?

But later...

Chi Qi, who is rumored to be incapable of love, keeps Song Xiaoyin confined within the sect, his eyes unnaturally red.

"You don't love me anymore?"

Song Xiaoyin looks up in a daze and realizes that Chi Qi has clearly fallen to the demonic path.

He fell to the demonic path for her.

The characters outside angrily pound on the door.

Song Xiaoyin: ??? Everyone, calm down. I just want to ascend to immortality.

Coming soon: After I Bound a Self-Improvement System, I Became Famous

After Qin Qin, a little-known idol, gets splashed by a luxury car, she inexplicably gets bound to a self-improvement System...

"Dear Host, hello! I'm No. 444, the top-tier star cultivation System! From now on, please work hard on improving yourself and turn yourself into a top actress!"

Qin Qin: ???

If I could improve myself, would I still be a nobody?

Then...

A magazine cover from a second-tier publication.

A song written under an alt account by a top producer.

A supporting role in a major movie of the year.

System Dad, bring it on! I promise I'll work hard on improving myself, QAQ!

But after Qin Qin joins the cast, the System's tasks become more and more bizarre.

"Bring the Best Actor a lovingly prepared lunch."

"Invite the Best Actor to attend an event with you."

Finally, "Go to the Best Actor's house to comfort him in his lonely, cold solitude."

Qin Qin asks suspiciously, "Does this count as improving myself?"

The System is silent for a moment. Then the Best Actor's voice suddenly appears in Qin Qin's mind: "Doesn't marrying into a wealthy family count?"

*

On the cover of a second-tier magazine's June issue, a dazzlingly beautiful woman wears a vivid red lip and a pure white, floor-length gown with a train that shows off her long, straight legs.

Netizens: Legs for days! Love her!

Then they discover that this gorgeous long-legged sister has a sweet voice and sings like a fairy from another world!

With her long legs and slim waist, she dances like a bewitching enchantress!

Even her acting is every bit as good as the Best Actor's.

"What an all-around idol! I'm in! Qin Qin, darling, Mom loves you!"

At one of her performances, the lights shine brilliantly over the stage. Lightboards bearing Qin Qin's name fill the audience, and everyone is shouting the same name, screaming for the same person.

Backstage, the Best Actor Cheng Tinglan, who should be filming, takes off his suit jacket and unceremoniously drapes it over Qin Qin's long legs.

"Darling, you can't dress like that."

Long-legged, slim-waisted, all-around idol beauty female lead x ruthless, taciturn Best Actor male lead with a whole arsenal of cheeky lines

#My friend's story: I Keep Cats with Fortune-Telling#

1.

A grandmaster celestial exorcist transmigrates into the body of a sweet, silly fake heiress. Not only must she clean up the messes in the human world, she also has to deal with supernatural affairs every day.

Luckily, she finds a little kitten, so she can spend her days obsessively cuddling it, showing it off on Weibo, and taking it along to catch demons.

2.

The fake heiress from the Xu family, who always seems to attract trouble, was recently trending for "betraying her own family and having a messy private life." Before the buzz even dies down, she lands a few new trending hashtags.

Xu Xu hugs her own kitty, who is swiping on a tablet, and says: Believe in science.

3.

Later, Xu Xu discovers that her little one seems able to take human form, and in human form looks exactly like a certain Best Actor :)

A face-slapping, feel-good story where everyone dotes on the heroine. Both leads are powerful, and the male lead is a cat: aloof in public, but always begging to be cuddled in private.

A guide to enjoying this story:

1. The heroine seems sweet and cute, but has a wildly imaginative mind and strong principles x the male lead seems like a mature, aloof beauty, but is actually as straight-laced as they come.

2. Both leads are virgins. At first, the male lead barely pays attention to the heroine. In the early and middle parts, he only wants to be her humble, devoted admirer.

The characters are drawn after a dozen or so chapters, and the male lead's pursuit begins.

3. Golden finger, pure wish fulfillment.

4. The card-drawing mechanics include lots of author-created rules, so don't scrutinize them too closely, orz.

Theme: Work hard and earn an honest living.
