Meng Mian was a gifted celestial master. One day, she transmigrated into the body of a disgraced actress with the same name. Faced with an exorbitant contract penalty, she had no choice but to stay in show business for a while.
Online commenters wondered whether the actress, who had just survived a suicide attempt, would come back and lie flat while taking the criticism, or go back to making terrible shows and using fake relationships for publicity.
Meng Mian's answer: What are you talking about? Isn't catching ghosts for money way better?
During a horror reality show, a white-clad figure floated in midair, and red shoes walked on their own. The guests huddled together, trembling with fear.
Meng Mian gazed at the troublesome ghost with shining eyes and grabbed it. Money!
An actor who wanted to fake a couple pairing with her leaned closer. "Mianmian, come over to my place and..."
Meng Mian: "Don't move! Your forehead looks dark. Has something strange been happening at home? For just 500 yuan, I can help you..."
Troublesome relatives giving her a hard time? Shut the door and let the ghosts handle them!
Evil spirits and monsters causing trouble? Shut the door and draw a talisman!
The haters who'd been waiting for her to make a fool of herself realized that she was catching ghosts while keeping up with her celebrity duties. She became the most popular gold-medal celestial master in the entertainment industry.
And so, the messages in Meng Mian's inbox changed completely.
Before:
Commenters: Get out of show business! Stop hitting on our favorite star! (profanity)
Later:
Commenter 1: Sister Meng is the best! Please livestream a ghost hunt!
Commenter 2: Something's wrong in my house. Could you take a look, sis? TAT
Ghosts: Please just go back to being an actress, sob...

Business tycoon Yuan Man had always had a problem.
He'd attracted ghosts easily since childhood. Ordinary people were frightened by the yin energy surrounding him, so they feared him, avoided him, and hated him.
Until one day, a girl pulled him out from among the ghosts and gave him a warmth he'd never experienced before, treating him like a...
walking ATM.
Yuan Man: ? Something feels off here.
Short scene:
Mr. Yuan: Those ghosts are back. Can I stay over tonight?
Meng Mian: I can't. I have to go home and read a script tonight. I've had so much to deal with lately...
Mr. Yuan: Name your price.
Meng Mian: Sure thing, boss.
Meng Mian, suddenly realizing something's wrong: Wait, didn't I just give you a talisman?
Yuan Man slips the torn-off talisman into his pocket. "Oh, I lost it."

-- The Slacker's Makeover into a Dark Moonlight! --
Yu Shengsheng died. To stay alive, she was bound to a redemption novel as the villainous female side character. If she followed the prescribed plot to the end, she could retire and leave.
In the book, she was the dark moonlight who tormented the male lead, Lu Wang, until his foundation was destroyed, ultimately driving him to fall into demonic cultivation. She served as a foil to set the stage for the heroine to redeem the brooding, terrifying male lead, who was practically a villain.
[Finish the early storyline, then stab him once at the end and send him into demonic cultivation. Then you can go home!]
That was what the System told her.
So she diligently played a villainous role that didn't really fit her slacker nature.
Luckily, the task wasn't hard. She just had to reach the right plot point and say the fixed lines provided by the System.
For example:
In the morning, to complete the task, she said, "A useless piece of trash like you thinks you can become the sect master's disciple?"
By the afternoon, she needed the male lead's help: "Junior Brother, help me out, please! QAQ"
Lu Wang: "But didn't Senior Sister call me trash this morning?"
Yu Shengsheng, embarrassed: "Haha, what I said in the morning doesn't count in the afternoon."
Another example:
"Are you blind? This is my cultivation manual! A useless piece of trash like you wants to practice with it?"
After delivering her line, Yu Shengsheng quickly shoved the manual into the male lead's hands. "Quick! Don't let me see... it again. Books make me dizzy!"
Lu Wang: ...
As the mission neared its end, she stuck to her lines and gradually discovered that she was proficient in everything: talisman arts, medicine, swordsmanship, alchemy... The more capable she became, the more satisfying it was to slack off.
Yu Shengsheng thought being a villainous side character wasn't that hard after all!
Though she had no idea how someone who was supposed to be hated by everyone had become the center of everyone's attention.
System: ...Are you sure you're not acting out of character?
--
Soon, the final battle arrived. Beneath a blood-red sky, Yu Shengsheng hesitantly raised her sword at the male lead.
There was no hatred in the young man's eyes. A faint smile touched his lips, and the wind stirred his tied-back hair. The blazing fire behind him made him seem like a mixture of the demonic and the pure.
He held out his palm and beckoned to her gently.
"Yu Shengsheng."
"If you don't stab me soon, you won't be able to go home."
--
Yu Shengsheng didn't know that while she was desperately trying to complete her mission and return home, someone else was willing to sacrifice himself to help her get there.
And he succeeded.
Theme: Be a good person.
That is indeed quite self-assertive, but after all, I am not a boss in the entertainment industry, so I don't know about all the twists and turns (although the character design is not very likable)
After reading it, the story line is very clear, especially the last few chapters. It's just that the big boss is a bit weak, not as good as Xu Tianshi
I thought the special handling department could be so powerful, but it turned out that if I hired a consultant and didn't do any back-up, I might as well have hired Master Xu Gou.
I thought it was fox odor, but it turned out to be body odor. I laughed to death XD
He also saved her once. The time he was killed by a kid, he survived. The reason why he jumped off the building should be because he couldn't accept the gap. A very powerful person suddenly turned into a waste. If it were me, I couldn't accept it. Even if I saved her when I jumped off the building, I couldn't change my heart about dying. Maybe...
So angry! She helped him eliminate the dangers of unnatural phenomena, but it was so lame that he did this to her.
Is this thing about raising imps with blood?
Finished spreading flowers! Looking forward to new articles!

Brother Shu is so miserable. The surprise was in vain.
