Please collect my new novel!

As a rising star with a “powerful background,” Gu Nanrong landed a major production for her very first drama. She became an overnight sensation, but also earned herself a storm of criticism.

Seeing that the online posts were clearly being manipulated by paid trolls, Gu Nanrong, a power user who was always online, quickly replied, sounding thoroughly aggrieved.

Gu Gu’s Little Pumpkin V: If I had a powerful background, would I have to live in this crummy little place? I want to buy a house too. Wouldn’t a villa be nice??? (Image) (Image)

Amid a wave of laughter from netizens, she cleared her name with a show of wounded innocence and even earned herself the nickname “Negative Net Worth.”

Until later...

Tianwang Investigation V: Miaoyan Media just released its latest list of shareholders. Rising star Gu Nanrong is on it as the third-largest shareholder. So it turns out people who say they’re broke are lying!!!

The Little Pumpkins were stunned: We worked so hard to make sure Gu Gu had enough to eat and wear, and she secretly bought a house behind our backs?

Gu Nanrong was also aggrieved: What could I do? Who knew they’d give away shares as prizes at the annual party... It’s not my fault I suddenly became the third-largest shareholder.

Nan An: That’s right, it’s not your fault. You were originally fourth.

And later still...

When Gu Nanrong was successively revealed to be the daughter of a celebrity and to be dating a famous, mature gentleman in the industry, the Little Pumpkins were used to it. They calmly calculated the resources and influence of both sides, then argued with the other person’s fans over who was really at a disadvantage.

So, when the results came out...

The Little Pumpkins: How can our goddess’s daughter marry down??? Break up, break up!!!

No characters are based on real people

Both are virgins, happy ending, one-on-one

Always-online lucky girl vs. internet-is-dead unlucky old-school gentleman

The blurb for this novel:

Xia Xiran became famous overnight thanks to a single song, “Chasing the Light.”

The young woman stood on a hastily assembled stage and sang “Chasing the Light” a cappella. Even the rudimentary equipment couldn’t stop her voice from rising above the din of the electronics and reaching the hearts of those watching.

The studio lights shone on her face, revealing every tiny downy hair.

That night, Zhihu’s trending topic was: How long does it take to go from an ordinary person to a star with a million followers?

Top comment: Thanks for the invite. Not long, just three minutes and fifty-five seconds.

In just one night, Xia Xiran went from being a nobody with only a two-digit number of fans to the top of the rising stars chart. She became the first contestant on Rush, Girl to break a million followers, and brought the show onto satellite television overnight.

“Shocking! Popular contestant Xia Xiran exposed for dating two men at once. Shamelessly, she became the mistress of a father and son. Netizens dig up the identities of her sugar daddies: Lingxi Group Chairman Xia Hongyi and his son Xia Lingran.”

Xia Xiran had barely fallen asleep when she was dragged out of bed. Still groggy, she replied.

Dream-Chasing Girl, Xia Xiran V: Thanks for the invite. He’s been supporting me for 7,700 days already, and I don’t mind a few more, right, Dad? @Lingxi-Xia Hongyi

Xia Hongyi and Xia Lingran were practically stalking their daughter’s/younger sister’s Weibo. They replied even faster than the netizens following the scandal.

@Lingxi-Xia Hongyi: My daughter doesn’t need anyone to support her.

@Coming and Going, Lingran Like the Wind: ??? I’m supporting my little sister? Which marketing account came up with that? Do you think you haven’t been alive long enough, or that I haven’t? No more to say. See you in court. (Image) (Image)

#Qi Wuling’s Romance Revealed# was pushed to the top of the trending searches by netizens.

His many fans cried that their dream had come crashing down, while passersby consoled them, saying that life wasn’t worth it and handsome men were everywhere.

Fans: ??? How is it Qi Wuling’s dream that’s been shattered? Xia Xiran’s dream has been smashed to pieces! Have you seen how hard those martial arts fans are laughing? When did that jerk Qi Wuling win over my goddess? Sob, my goddess was so pure, and it didn’t take long for a fox to carry her back to its den...

Xia Xiran became the first woman to be rejected by an entire production team after joining a mystery-solving variety show.

Production team: We haven’t even found the clues, and she’s already made up the whole story. How are we supposed to play now??? No thanks! We’re not doing it!

She dismantles props on an escape-room show and uses her wild imagination on a mystery-solving program. Watch Xia Xiran get rejected by the production team one step at a time in this episode of Detective Diary.

After the university student mathematical modeling competition ended, a discussion thread on Petal was bumped to the top.

Discuss: Just how incredible are XXR’s grades?

[1st Floor] XXR’s a casual fan. I happened to see her name on the results board today and thought it was a namesake, but the school and everything matched. I’m really impressed.

[2nd Floor] Adding to that, everyone should know how hard the modeling competition is. If I remember right, she had only just debuted the month of the exam, and she had a full month of events. Her schedule was so packed that her fans even got her trending for it. She still came in first. Suddenly, the big pancake in my hand doesn’t taste so good. (Dog head) (Dog head)

[3rd Floor] I salute the academic goddess.

[4th Floor] Salute +1

[5th Floor] I heard XXR won first prize in this year’s computer science scholarship awards. Now I really want to know XXR’s time management secrets.

[2632nd Floor] That’s all. Let’s close this thread. XXR just got nominated for the Turing Award. Could she really have been held back by the entertainment industry this whole time?

[2645th Floor] I’m going to buy Lingxi Group stock right now. With XXR around, I’m sure I’ll make a fortune.

The male lead is just an expressionless voting robot with almost no presence.

Training camp in the first half, variety show with the group in the second half. The focus is mainly on her career.

It’s all made up! All made up! No real-life inspirations, so don’t read anything into it! (My survival instinct is kicking in.)

The idol competition parts are based on Produce Camp, with some rules changed.

Both are virgins, happy ending

Gifted voice and off-the-charts intelligence heiress & gentle, jade-like top-tier star young master

Theme: Chasing dreams
