Si Lili practiced medicine in another world for many years, treating countless people and accumulating enough merit to earn a chance to transmigrate. Instead, she transmigrated into a novel about the entertainment industry as a cannon-fodder character. She currently has two identities:
1. A celebrity hated by the entire internet.
2. A wealthy family's wife in name only, with no money.
To avoid the plot and change her fate as a doomed extra who wouldn't survive the first three chapters, she decides to terminate her contract and leave the industry. But things don't go as planned. Her agent says she can leave, but only after paying the termination fee.
As a wealthy family's wife in name only, and an financially independent woman, she refuses to pay. Even if she had the money, she wouldn't let herself be taken for a fool. It's just a livestream, so whatever.
And so the livestream begins...
The other wives show off their jewelry, handbags, and clothes, flaunting their wealth on camera.
Si Lili shows off acupuncture, pulse diagnosis, and bone-setting, treating patients live.
The other wives enjoy candlelit dinners with their husbands at fancy restaurants.
Si Lili and her husband grind medicinal ingredients, knead herbal pastes, and roll pills.
The other wives go to auctions to buy jewelry and antiques.
Si Lili goes to auctions to buy ginseng and reishi mushrooms.
At first, the other wives ostracize and exclude Si Lili, while online commenters call her a wicked stepmother and accuse her of using traditional Chinese medicine as a shameless publicity stunt.
Later, she brings a patient back from the brink with her Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, stunning the medical world. Everyone hails her as Hua Tuo and Bian Que reborn.
"Every doctor advised my husband and me to try IVF. After taking Lili's medicine, I actually got pregnant."
"My mother-in-law had been paralyzed for years. Lili gave her a few acupuncture treatments, and now she's walking briskly."
"I used to count every grain of rice I ate to stay slim. Ever since I started taking Lili's Waist-Slimming Pills, I can finally eat whatever I want!"
Si Lili never expected that appearing on a variety show livestream would make her a one-woman force for popularizing traditional Chinese medicine. Major universities of traditional Chinese medicine invite her to work as a consulting expert and guest lecturer, while pharmaceutical groups ask her to serve as a technical advisor...
Reader's Guide:
* Revisions only correct typos.
* Both leads are each other's first and only partners. The child is adopted.
* This is a slow-burn, slice-of-life story. The male lead is mostly in the background.
* The author is not a traditional Chinese medicine expert. All knowledge, techniques, and prescriptions in the story have been researched online and should not be taken as fact. Please don't nitpick.

Jiang Zao was born with yin-yang eyes. After graduating from the Taoist Academy at Baiyun Temple, she became a civil servant in the underworld, guarding Ghost Street at the boundary between yin and yang. To complete a task assigned by the Great Emperor of Fengdu and earn some extra money on the side, she starts livestreaming fortune-telling and ghost-catching on a fruit-themed platform.
"Your boyfriend is a psychopathic serial killer. He routinely lures young women online, tricks them into coming to his home, lives with them for a while, then brutally kills them and buries their bodies in the wilderness!"
The next day, the W City police account updates with the headline: "Online Serial Killer Apprehended."
"Your son isn't dating. His gym teacher has been sexually assaulting him, and it's happened more than once. Your child has suffered severe physical and emotional trauma. Call the police immediately!"
Three days later, a topic trends on Weibo: "Gym Teacher at *** Middle School Arrested for Repeatedly Assaulting Students."
"Your wife is lonely in the underworld and wants you to join her. Hurry up and burn her a few handsome 3D paper effigies, or your life will be in danger within three days."
Two days later, a headline appears: A man jumps from a building, is rescued, and appears to be mentally unwell, shouting that he wants to buy handsome paper effigies for his deceased wife.
"Your ancestor wants to know where you get the nerve to burn one yuan's worth of incense while asking for a hundred billion yuan's worth of blessings! Keep fooling her, and she'll make you smell the stench of cheap incense yourself."
The next day, a local news report says a man was poisoned after burning cheap incense to honor his ancestors at home. His neighbor found him and took him to the hospital. He is now out of danger.
At first, netizens relentlessly mocked her:
"Fortune-telling? It's the 21st century, and you're still peddling superstition? At least put some effort into scamming people!"
"How could ghosts exist in this world? If there are any, they're in the livestreamer's head!"
"A young person scamming people with fortune-telling? Do you think netizens are idiots?"
Later, Jiang Zao's predictions prove so accurate that she becomes famous across the internet. Police officers hide in her livestream every night, and people flock to her for a reading.
"Master, please, just one more reading! I'll pay you double!"
"I'll pay ten times as much! A hundred times, even a thousand!"

The blurb is in first person, while the story itself is in third person.
The moment the camera flips around, I'm clutching a freshly caught king crab as I plunge into the depths of the sea...
When I open my eyes again, the plot of a wealthy family's feuds has already loaded:
My deadbeat, live-in son-in-law of a father uses me to pay off his debts. My stepmother watches gleefully as I'm forced into a political marriage on behalf of her daughter. My intended is the sinister, violent disabled tycoon from the book. According to the original plot, I'll "accidentally" drown in my own bathtub three months from now.
Whoever wants this mess can have it!
I slap down a severance agreement and drag my suitcase straight to the deserted island my mother left behind. The moment the sea breeze sweeps through the dilapidated wooden house, the sound of the tide awakens memories buried deep in my blood.
A shimmering dragon tail cuts through the sea. My mother's sleeping apparition appears in the abyss. I touch the golden scales appearing on my neck and fall into deep thought: Turns out I got the nonhuman protagonist's script!
While the wealthy family is still betting on when I'll beg for mercy:
I've built a sea palace on the ancestral grounds of the dragon clan. My sky-high menu shocks the entire internet: steamed bluefin tuna with ambergris, charcoal-grilled glowing squid served with moon-viewing coral. I accept only three tables a day, and reservations are already booked three years in advance.
The legendary disabled, gloomy Mr. Huo is leaning against my glass pavilion, his silver hair bathed in moonlight. "Is it the Dragon Lady's custom to make guests peel their own crabs?"
I grab his "prosthetic" leg, which is submerged in the seawater. "Would you care to explain why you have merfolk scales, Mr. Huo?"
As the waves surge, his suit trousers shred piece by piece. Under the moonlight, a silver-blue fish tail raises a tempest. His icy fingertips touch my horns. "Now it's your turn to show some sincerity."

Wait! Why does the supposedly disabled tycoon suddenly have a fish tail?
This was supposed to be a tragic marriage-by-substitution romance, but we've somehow turned it into a love story between rulers of the ocean!

System bug! Retirement mode turned into hell mode?
Su Li, queen of quick transmigration, transmigrates into a book with wealth enough to crush the world...
As the broke, scheming woman mocked by the entire internet on a reality show about wealthy families!
Original plot: Fawn over the male and female leads, then get called a fake sweetheart and kicked out of the wealthy family.
The queen's move: Buy an island on the spot! A ten-hectare estate dedicated to intangible cultural heritage becomes an instant sensation!
During the livestream, the guests on set and the viewers are all crushed by her outrageously wealthy, next-level flexes:
While the plastic heiress is still fighting over limited-edition items...
She recreates a phoenix crown using filigree inlay, a technique lost for 300 years.
While the white lotus heroine is showing off her charity gala...
She donates ten Ming Dynasty imperial treasures that even the Palace Museum would envy.
While the production team is bragging about a yacht party...
She makes a showstopping entrance aboard a traditional treasure ship just like Zheng He's!
The comments explode: #Help! Her imperial chefs' Manchu-Han banquet has the entire production crew drooling#
Trending topic dominates the charts: #PleaseTeachUsHowRealRichPeopleShouldAct,SuLi#
The official media gets involved: The Intangible Cultural Heritage Association claims her as their beloved daughter overnight!
Her most outrageous move: When the male lead confesses his love...
Su Li raises an eyebrow. "Mr. Ji, you're blocking my shot of the 1.2-billion-yuan Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain."
The heroine's family, who once thought Su Li was an eyesore:
"Do you need a manager for your island estate? We want someone who graduated from Qingbei and speaks eight languages."
The production team, who once pressured her to leave the industry:
"Please livestream while sitting on the dragon throne! We'll film from our knees!"
So... wasn't I supposed to be taking it easy in retirement?
System: My liege, is it really appropriate to make even the director of the National Museum drool with envy?
Theme: Promote the culture of traditional Chinese medicine and pass on the quintessence of Chinese heritage.
