The Metaphysics Master Became a Variety Show Sensation by Being Poor

[Blurb]

Gu Shi has inherited a unique divination art passed down through her family. Everyone in the occult world knows her name, and she has two of the Five Flaws and Three Deficiencies: widowhood and poverty!

One day, after she peered into the secrets of Heaven, a bolt of lightning struck her down to the human world. She discovered that, well, things were exactly the same.

Widowed and poor!

By chance, she joins a reality show for ordinary people called Dreams of the Unknown.

At first, when viewers see Gu Shi looking down on everyone with a delicate little face that seems copied from a painting of a court lady, they split into two camps.

One says, "Wow, that face! She's a real-life fairy!"

The other says, "With looks like that, and she's poor? What a performance."

Not long after the show begins, viewers see Gu Shi lounging on a rooftop, admiring the view while eating vegetables she grew herself. They all reach the same conclusion:

"She's so poor!"

"But I'm so jealous!"

Then they see Gu Shi get into a car accident just going out for a meal at a street food stall, and the viewers sigh:

"That's awful!"

"I suddenly feel so lucky!"

Later, they see Gu Shi growing lazier and more beautiful under someone's care, and the viewers are envious:

"Another day of being green with envy!"

"I've already signed up for the next season. Maybe I'll find love and success too!"

Huo Zhuozhi used to be the God of Wealth in Heaven. One day, he saw a mortal living in such poverty that he gave her ten extra yuan, and then...

He was punished by being sent to the human world on a mission: help 1,000 people escape poverty.

********Upcoming: She Conquers the Prank Show with Her Hilarious Antics********

After scraping by for twenty years in a post-apocalyptic world, Cen Yin wakes up to find she's transmigrated into the body of Cen Yin, a minor celebrity.

Looking to raise her profile, Cen Yin joins the country's most popular and most sadistic prank show.

Who could have guessed she was such a coward? She gets so scared as soon as she joins the show that she's nearly scared out of her wits.

After Cen Yin transmigrates...

When terrifying ghosts suddenly appear...

The other guests huddle together. "Aaaaaah! This is terrifying!"

Cen Yin pats her chest. "At least it can't eat people!"

Then she gives each ghost a shoulder throw!

"If it can't eat people, there's nothing to fear!"

In the middle of the night, their warm bed suddenly turns into a pool of black ink...

The other guests curse and grumble. "This is too much! They won't even let us get a decent night's sleep!"

Cen Yin wipes her face. "At least it's not cold, and it'll wash right off!"

The next day, Cen Yin spends the whole day scaring the crew with her washable ink-black face!

"This ink is great. It's like sunscreen!"

The production team sends them to a deserted island to survive...

The other guests roar, "How could they leave us without a scrap of food?"

Cen Yin grips her dagger. "At least they gave us a dagger!"

Then, with a swift stroke, she chops off a venomous snake's head.

The director rubs his neck, feeling a chill at the back of it!

By the end of the show, Cen Yin's Weibo followers have grown from three thousand to thirty million. Viewers leave comments: "I just want to know, is there ever a time when this young lady thinks something is bad?"

Cen Yin: "..."

Never!

After transmigrating back from twelve historical romance novels featuring delicate, sweet heroines, Gu Zhi is thoroughly sick of their affected, simpering ways. When she sees Cen Yin, bright, sharp, and brimming with confidence, she can't take her eyes off her.

Every now and then, it's not bad having someone charge ahead and fight for you!

When Cen Yin wants to climb a wall, Gu Zhi brings a ladder.

When Cen Yin wants to scare someone, Gu Zhi helps stage an accident.

The production team stirs up trouble, throwing an unidentified object at them. Cen Yin throws herself over Gu Zhi to shield her, but Gu Zhi rolls over and shields Cen Yin instead, smiling lightly. "You can take the lead at other times, but not this time!"

The viewers squeal and cover their faces.

Who would've thought you could get a faceful of couple sweetness from a prank show!

********Upcoming: Transmigrated as the Tyrannical Ex-Wife of a Novel's Male Lead*********

Jiang Lianyue opens her eyes and thinks, would you look at that, she's gone and followed the trend by transmigrating into a book. She's become the male lead's ex-wife in a novel set in the 1970s.

In the original, the male lead comes from a family of cadres. He's handsome, talented, and a promising young man known throughout the county.

The original heroine falls in love with him at first sight. She pretends to fall into the water so he can rescue her, then forces him to marry her. When he treats her coldly, she keeps making trouble until he finally uses heavy-handed tactics to divorce her.

After the divorce, her doting second older brother goes after the male lead to settle the score, but ends up arrested for fighting. Her eldest brother goes south to earn money so their second brother will have an easier time in jail, but never returns. The original heroine dies in a car accident while dazed by one disaster after another in her marriage and family. Her parents are consumed by grief as misfortune keeps befalling their children.

She arrives on her wedding night. Jiang Lianyue sucks in a breath. She needs to get divorced as soon as possible, but she has to dump the male lead in style to prevent that whole string of disasters.

At that moment, the male lead says, "Even though we're married, I won't touch you."

Jiang Lianyue is overjoyed. The male lead really is a model of virtue. This unreasonable request...

She accepts!

Jiang Lianyue sets up a snack stall and starts a tea factory. She brings bicycles, televisions, and sewing machines to her parents' home one by one, gets all three of her older brothers earning wages, and even has a two-story Western-style house built for her family!

Someone jeers at her. What's the point of having money? They've been married for almost a year, and she still isn't pregnant.

Jiang Lianyue smiles sweetly and makes up a story without missing a beat. "My husband says there's no rush for kids. We'll think about it after he gets me a detached house and a Santana."

Back home, her always polite and courteous "husband" hands her the deed to a detached house and the keys to a Santana, staring at her with burning eyes. "Who said I wasn't in a hurry?"

Jiang Lianyue: ?

Aren't we married just for the contract?
