The Supporting Female Character Gets Rich After Binding to a Livestream Shopping System

I'm sorry, but I've decided to remove the paywall after all. Writing this story has been very difficult. I know clearly that it isn't good, and because of my health I had to stop updating. Once I stopped, I couldn't pick it back up again. I tried hard, but in the end it became a stone weighing on my heart, and I still couldn't write. I don't want to force myself anymore. After the weekend, I'll contact my editor to remove the paywall. I'm truly sorry.

Originally titled "I Became a Top-Tier Star by Livestream Selling". My completed novel is "I Got Rich After Shopping Till I Dropped".

Actress Wen Qi transmigrates into a novel as a cannon-fodder female supporting character, and from the start the heroine's younger sister steals her chance to debut.

Everyone who looks down on her assumes she'll make a fuss, but who knew she'd simply turn around and start livestream selling? That earns her even more scorn. They think she's shortsighted and narrow-minded.

The sisters are both engaged to members of the Xie family, the richest family in the country. The Xies are open-minded enough to accept a celebrity, but they could never accept a female internet personality who sells products online.

The actress Wen, who weathered a storm of blood and fire in her previous life, says: I don't want to work hard this time around. Relying on a man is worse than relying on a System. I'll sell some products, grow some plants, and live a quiet life. That sounds pretty good.

The sales System says: You have no idea what this System is capable of!

A domestic cosmetics brand on the brink of bankruptcy sells out overnight after Wen Qi promotes it, becoming a household name. The brand invites Wen Qi to become its sole spokesperson.

An obscure idol no one has ever heard of becomes famous overnight after Wen Qi promotes him, rising to top-tier star status in the industry. He begs Wen Qi to be the only female lead in his music video.

An art film suffering a crushing lack of screenings becomes an overnight hit after Wen Qi promotes it, emerging as the dark horse of the summer. The filmmakers eagerly invite Wen Qi to star as the lead in its sequel.

The laid-back Wen Qi is forced to turn things around and becomes a celebrated talent spotter. People and businesses from every walk of life hope she'll pick them, so they can rise to success!

As for the commercials, music videos, and movies she shoots, people assume they're just a powerful person's pastime. But when the finished works come out, they leave everyone stunned. She rakes in all kinds of awards, and Wen the Lazy Fish becomes a hot topic, bursting to fame in the entertainment industry overnight. The hero and heroine are both dumbfounded.

Netizens exclaim: What a treasure of a goddess! What else don't we know about you?

Wen, who only wanted a quiet life, flops down and says: Nothing, nothing, really. I've been completely drained.

System: Ding ding! Goodies from another world have been added to your cart. Host, give selling them your all.

Wen Qi: ...

Spirit vegetables and fruits from the Immortal Realm cause a buying frenzy as soon as they appear, and become dishes served at state banquets. Wen Qi is nicknamed the modern-day Shennong.

A mysterious spray from the Witch Realm becomes a must-have for beauty lovers and is hailed as a miraculous beauty product. Wen Qi is praised as a master of skincare.

Protective talismans from the Mysterious Realm are sought after by countless people at exorbitant prices, and are considered comparable to consecrated spiritual artifacts. People hint that Wen Qi is a modern-day mystic.

Wen Qi: I'm not. I didn't do that.

Netizens: Qi Qi is a whole treasure trove! The more we dig, the more we find!

Wen Qi: ...

The clouds that once hung over the original owner's head are gently swept away by Wen Qi, never again able to dim even a speck of her light.

Those who once scorned and bullied her can now only prostrate themselves at her feet, not daring to challenge her brilliance.

Coming soon: "Saving Lives with Mysticism, Changing Fates with Cash"

Yu Yu is a perpetually unlucky, bottom-tier idol.

At the girl-group audition, she's the one who just misses the final lineup and gets emotional. When a hit song wins an award, she only gets to sing the demo. Other people fake a fall on the red carpet to grab attention, while she takes a real fall right out of the camera frame. She's truly immune to trending searches and a resource freezer. Every chance to become famous passes her by.

Then one day, she suddenly discovers that she's bound to a mystical System that lets her see certain people's life paths. And so the gears of fate start spinning wildly.

Blue Star, an unremarkable immersive life-simulation game.

There must be at least eight hundred games like it on Earth. It's neither a popular choice nor a top recommendation, and it doesn't even appear on the home pages of the major gaming platforms.

Then one day, the game suddenly drops into the number one spot on the month's revenue chart, and stories about "her" gradually begin to spread.

They say the Shao family's prized son was once a spoiled playboy, but after "her" guidance, he became a pillar of the nation.

They say the youngest self-made billionaire in Huaguo was once at the end of his rope, but after "her" advice, he made a comeback.

They say the household-name Best Actor and Best Actress used to be a bitter couple, but after "her" intervention, they let go of their grudges.

"She" is Blue Star's strongest background NPC, Yu Yu!

Players say of her: She seems modest and unassuming, but she's actually unfathomable / Mysticism can save lives, and spending money can change your fate / The most effective way to get players to spend is often just four simple words: Spoilers cost money.

-

Yu Yu discovers that everyone whose life she can see through is a big shot in their respective field. The more money these big shots spend on her, the better her luck gets. So she goes further and further down the road of accepting payment in exchange for spoilers, going from a bottom-tier idol to the industry's ultimate "resource darling."

Rumors spread online that Yu Yu has a sugar daddy. When a reporter interviews her, she replies calmly: I do have a sugar daddy. I sell my art, not my body. (If someone keeps spending money on her, what else would you call them?)

The big shots: We're not your sugar daddies. We're your most devoted followers!

Netizens: ...Yeah, right. We totally believe you!

Setting: The heroine's world, Blue Star, is real, but players on Earth think it's a game and that the people on Blue Star are NPCs.

(The setting borrows from the Fourth Disaster trope. It's fine if you're unfamiliar with it. This isn't a traditional Fourth Disaster story. Just know that these are two real worlds, and that the heroine is mistaken for a game character by people who transmigrate.)

Coming soon: "The Real Heiress Gets Rich in a Substitute Romance"

The real heiress, Shen Zhuoling, is a substitute for the substitute in a substitute romance novel. The heartbreak and melodrama belong to them; the money and happiness are hers.

System: Host, for every day you work as a substitute, you'll be rewarded with 100 million.

Shen Zhuoling: What? Don't lie to me. I could do this kind of substitute work for the rest of my life!

At a banquet, the dream girl plays "The Wedding in a Dream" and wins a thunderous round of applause.

At the same banquet, the substitute prepares a dish of Chinese cabbage in clear broth, astonishing everyone.

At the same banquet, Shen, substitute for the substitute, talentless kitchen disaster Zhuoling, samples air-freighted Amars caviar while enjoying the piano prince's performance of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and earns the System's 100 million reward.

Everyone: ???

System: Host, spend 100 million each day and you'll be rewarded with a skill book.

Shen Zhuoling: What? Don't lie to me. Spending 100 million is as easy as drinking water.

On a variety show, the dream girl and the male lead buy a famous painting and share their feelings, earning the audience's applause.

On a variety show, the substitute and the second male lead, her backup admirer, buy a pair of diamond rings and express their love, earning everyone's blessings.

On a variety show, Shen Zhuoling, the substitute's substitute, and a random passerby she picked up on the street buy out an entire street of luxury shops, then smile at each other, leaving the audience utterly dumbstruck.

Shen Zhuoling: And I got a whole stack of skill books, too!

So while the dream girl is still playing piano at the banquet, Shen Zhuoling has already gone off to hold her own concert.

While the substitute is still studying how to prepare a full imperial banquet, Shen Zhuoling has already been invited to cook for a state banquet.

Then the audience discovers that Shen Zhuoling, the shallow woman who has nothing but beauty and no talent at all, is actually a hidden big shot with endless money and countless skills!

Everyone: We bow to you, great master! Will you take me as your apprentice?

Scumbag men: You're just a substitute.

Shen Zhuoling: You're just tools I use to make money.

When all the scumbag men kneel before her, heartsick and full of regret, begging her to forgive them,

Shen Zhuoling kicks them three meters away, one by one: Any tool that can't make me money can get lost!

Bonus scene:

Host: Best Actress Shen, how did you meet your boyfriend?

Shen Zhuoling: I picked some random guy up on the street.

Host: Wow, you two must be fated to meet.

Xie Heng: Yeah, I bought out the whole street.

Host: ...

Theme: Respect yourself, love yourself, and become strong.
