I Handed Over My Golden Finger to the Empire and Became a Star

[The more I write, the further this gets from what I originally wanted. It's not very good, so read with caution.] [Blurb] As a C-list star, Li Xia imagined all sorts of things after binding herself to a Popularity Exchange Device. Reality, however, taught her a lesson. Without any popularity, holding a Popularity Exchange Device was like occupying... So Li Xia handed the Popularity Exchange Device over to the Empire. And then, her lucky break came. She signed with the best agency, earned so much from endorsements she could barely count it, and had film and TV offers fighting for her attention. She even met the man she loved, Chu Yan. To the outside world, Chu Yan was refined, aloof, and exceptionally handsome. But only Li Xia knew how thorny and cold-hearted he was beneath the surface. Even so, Chu Yan was still the person Li Xia loved most. Li Xia: I love Chu Yan the most. Chu Yan: Is that so? Li Xia: Of course! Chu Yan: Would you still love me like this? His handsome face remained expressionless, cold air seeming to radiate from him. His eyes were dark and deep, filled with an endless chill. Li Xia wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss. "I do. I love everything about Chu Yan."

Date: 2021.05.17 [Next Book] When an Interstellar Female General Transmigrates to Ancient Times Yu Chuwan has a secret: she was born with superhuman strength. After dying together with the Insect Queen, she transmigrated to the ancient state of Li. As an interstellar female general, Yu Chuwan was at her wit's end when faced with complicated traditional characters and all kinds of tedious etiquette. What she found most unbearable was this: Girls in this ancient era had to marry before turning eighteen! And she was already sixteen. To avoid getting married, Yu Chuwan came up with one trick after another. Before long, she had earned herself the nickname of Kyoto's troublemaking Yu girl. "Oh, you mean the eldest daughter of the Yu family? The one who smashed a marble slab with one slap?" "Yu Chuwan is such an embarrassment to all the young ladies of good families." "At this rate, she'll probably grow old alone." "Who would dare marry a woman like that? Does she think her husband's household is too peaceful?" Yet Yu Chuwan, whom everyone looked down on, was adored by Prince Ming, Lu Fengcheng. By the time people realized what was happening, the rumors in Kyoto had changed. "I'm so jealous of Yu Chuwan. Prince Ming dotes on her so much." "Have you heard? The prince stopped attending court just for his princess consort." "Hey, can I tell you I saw the prince washing his consort's feet?" "Have you heard? Prince Ming spent a fortune on a hairpin for his consort!" Yu Chuwan looked at Lu Fengcheng beside her, then at the little child nearby, and nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad. At least I didn't get married until after I turned eighteen. It's just that our little girl's strength is a bit worrying. Is this her third crib already?
