Qiao Yitong, a top-tier culinary cultivator, fails to ascend and transmigrates into the body of a universally disliked entertainer. She's just about to join a survival variety show filmed on a remote island.
Everyone thinks her chances of surviving are slim.
Her fellow contestants:
"Why join a survival show on a deserted island? Because I've heard so many people say I get by on my looks. I want to prove I'm good at other things, too," the current top-tier star says with an easy smile.
"You've got to be kidding. You think I can't survive this show? Even trash like Qiao Yitong can join, so how could I be worse than her? She'd better not beg me for food later," sneers a self-media influencer with a million followers.
"On this show, the most important principle is that we stick together and help one another, rather than compete. That's the only way we'll all have a better chance of surviving," the contestants say one after another in interviews.
Qiao Yitong just smiles. Unable to survive? Not a chance. On this island, which everyone calls hell, every corner is packed with top-quality ingredients for a top-tier culinary cultivator like her. It's practically paradise.
Half a month later:
"Getting by on your looks is a kind of ability, too, right, Sister Tong?" the top-tier star says ingratiatingly, casually showing off his eight-pack abs.
"Sister Tong, I haven't eaten in three days. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have badmouthed you. I'll get down on my knees and apologize. Could you please give me something to eat? I don't need much, just some of your leftovers." The influencer weeps and repents, begging for scraps.
"Competition is the law of this world, and survival of the fittest is unchanging... Hey, Sister Tong, I'm better at this than he is. Let me do it. I eat less and work harder." Tempted by a pot of delicious soup, a new round of male rivalry begins.
Seeing how much things have changed, the online audience is left reeling.
Are these really the top-tier star, the influencer, and the universally disliked entertainer they know?
One commenter offers a sharp assessment: "The men on this show are like dogs. When they're starving and you give them a bite to eat, they immediately bow their heads, wag their tails, and beg."
>>>>>>>>>Coming soon: "The Great Fortune-Making Venture [Quick Transmigration Through the Eras]," where she transmigrates to different eras and makes a fortune!
Lin Dandan is an overworked office worker. She labors away every day and is still little more than a workhorse.
Then she reads a novel and gets lectured by one of its characters: "If you're poor, it's because you didn't work hard. In this world, anyone can make a fortune as long as they're diligent."
Lin Dandan lies flat and rolls her eyes.
If only I had a ridiculously powerful golden finger System like that, I could live a life straight out of a wish-fulfillment novel, too!
Then she wakes up one day and finds that her golden finger has really arrived...
1. Collecting "scrap" in the 1970s: The recycling station System has been activated.
In the 1970s, old newspapers, scrap metal, and worn-out rubber goods are everywhere.
While everyone else has their eyes on ration coupons, she shakes out an old newspaper: Shocking! An original work by Yan Zhenqing was sold as scrap?
With her keen instincts, Lin Dandan turns waste into treasure in an era of relative scarcity, digging up discarded resources and putting them to use again.
Machine parts thrown out by state-owned factories become a production line worth tens of thousands in her hands.
The Economic Daily headline reads: The Scrap Queen Is Worth Hundreds of Billions? She is the "business legend" who rose from the junkyard!
2. Collecting antiques in the 1960s: The Artifact and Antique Catalogue has been unlocked.
In the 1960s, the value of antiques was not yet widely recognized.
Armed with her "Artifact Catalogue," Lin Dandan scours the streets and countryside for treasures.
Piece by piece, she builds her own collecting empire. With a collection that ranks among the world's best, she eventually becomes a grand master of the collecting world.
Years later, at a charity auction, a single blue-and-white porcelain vessel donated by Lin Dandan sells for 300 million!
Later still, when Palace Museum experts line up to tour her private gallery, they marvel: "To spend ten years collecting this complete set of one-of-a-kind pieces, what kind of perseverance must that take? This is the very essence of a true hero!"
Lin Dandan rubs her nose, a little embarrassed. Truthfully, she isn't that great. She's just always been a bit obsessive. If she has a catalogue, she wants to collect everything in it.
3. Playing the stock market in the 1990s: The "Luck Buff" has been activated.
In the 1990s, the stock market is just getting started.
Lin Dandan knows nothing about stocks. She buys whichever ones look good to her, leaving the "experts" shaking their heads.
"As expected, women shouldn't mess with stocks. Someone like her is just throwing money away."
But with the "Luck Buff" on her side, every stock Lin Dandan buys skyrockets, even the ones nobody believes in.
No analysis, no reason!
After she becomes a generation-defining "stock god," the Wall Street Journal marvels: She is the only person in the world who truly understands stocks!
More worlds to come...
Reader's guide:
1. An invincible quick transmigration wish-fulfillment novel, written for fun. Please don't take it too seriously.
2. The setting is fictional, inspired by reality but distinct from it. Don't project real people onto the characters.
3. The System golden finger has been added, and it's absurdly powerful. She will never have to suffer.
Theme: Be independent and strong, and bravely fight your way through hardship.
Why do I feel that the heroine is a bit of a virgin? At the beginning, I excluded her and wanted her to fend for herself. Now she is providing ingredients for the stage.
None of them are good things
This feels a bit intellectually depressing.
Where will I stay when I take Daju home?
Is it going to end? Do you have CP? It feels a bit like that Lu or something
WwOur Jojo is also a miserable and strong little girl???
"It seems like I went in and stayed for one night", which is a big bug for the author~
I miss you so much
"He, appointed." This is a big bug for the author~
Accept your fate
I hope it's not a setting where modern Shen Yanshu's life is over and the heroine can only be possessed by the soul of her master in the wasteland world. My current reading experience is that the group portraits are interesting, but when my wife tries to write about emotional interactions, such as Lu Cheng's ambiguity with the heroine's single arrow, it makes me look like an old man on the subway. When the heroine recalled the story of the wasteland world and her master, and her somewhat paranoid longing for the master, I was a little afraid that the master-disciple relationship would turn into a teacher-student relationship... Especially when I thought about the original wasteland world, the heroine was raised by an adult master from a child, and this awkward discomfort would make the alarm sound. (Perhaps the wife wanted to write about the heroine's master's "reinvention" to her, so the heroine is very dependent on the master, and it is family affection rather than love. But maybe the writing is not strong enough, and it always gives me the feeling that the heroine is about to have feelings for her master that go beyond family affection...)
Hahahahaha, you still have to win and lose.
