After graduating, Yu Ranqiu received an inheritance from a distant relative: a retirement home.

She opened the retirement home's front door and saw three elderly people playing mahjong.

"Qiuqiu, you're here! It's been years. How have you been?"

Yu Ranqiu thought they had dementia and played along. "It really has been years since we last met."

The old man counted on his fingers. "Must be two thousand years or so."

Yu Ranqiu's jaw dropped...

Yu Ranqiu decided to raise funds to expand the retirement home, but she didn't have a penny to her name.

A few of the elderly residents brought out a sack of money and generously offered to help.

Yu Ranqiu carried the sack to the bank, only to discover that it was full of... spirit money?

"Qiuqiu, you're doing it wrong. First, you need to go to the Bridge of Helplessness and exchange it for yuan."

Yu Ranqiu thought they were joking, but she actually went to the Bridge of Helplessness and exchanged it for fifty million.

Fountains and landscaping, a game room, swimming pool, mahjong room, private cinema, gym, dessert shop, and health-food porridge restaurant...

Yu Ranqiu posted pictures of the retirement home online, and it went viral in an instant.

"What kind of heavenly retirement home is this? I'm going to save up so I can live here when I'm old!"

"My bestie and I are going to move in together!"

And that wasn't all. One old man posted a video of himself walking on water, while an old lady showed off her opera singing and peerless guqin skills.

"Are these people really in their seventies or eighties? They're in such great shape!"

"Doesn't the painting in the retirement home's lobby look like an authentic work from the Qin Dynasty?"

Amazed by the talents of the grandpas and grandmas, Yu Ranqiu asked what they had done when they were young.

"I was an unknown wanderer of the martial world, and happened to become its leader."

"I was an utterly ordinary commoner who served as prime minister."

"I was a penniless empress. Every now and then, I led troops into battle."

Next up: "The Empress Became a Useless Beauty and Shot to Fame". Add it to your reading list from my author page~

Gu Wanyin was the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After using an iron fist to bring order to a turbulent court, she accidentally transmigrated into a romance novel set in the entertainment industry, becoming a minor actress.

The original character was the heiress of the Gu Group, yet no one in her family loved her. They already had the novel's beloved heroine, a fake heiress.

According to the original plot, the supporting actress fought desperately for the family fortune, but was eventually thrown out, shelved by the company, and disappeared from public view.

Gu Wanyin: It's just a company. Is that really such a big deal? The whole world once belonged to Me.

The original character had agreed to appear on a dating reality show, and the astronomical cancellation fee left Gu Wanyin with no choice but to take part.

While the other guests feasted, Gu Wanyin ate plain steamed buns for an entire week.

While the other guests enjoyed romantic dates under the flowers and moonlight, Gu Wanyin spent a fortune buying a phone for five hundred yuan.

While the other guests fought to get screen time, Gu Wanyin sat to the side memorizing her script.

When the show aired, the viewers weren't won over by the manufactured romance. Instead, they were moved by Gu Wanyin's hardships.

1L: Oh my god, Gu Wanyin is at least a B-list celebrity. How does she look even poorer than me?

2L: If everyone donates a penny to Sis Yin, she won't have to eat instant noodles every day. She'll be able to order takeout whenever she wants!

At an antique appraisal conference, Gu Wanyin smashed a gilt-bronze vase worth thirty million on the spot.

Her rival: This is it. Gu Wanyin will have to sell herself to that lousy company for the rest of her life.

Just as the crowd roared and everyone argued, the leading master of the appraisal world declared that the gilt-bronze vase was indeed a fake.

The master asked Gu Wanyin, "The craftsmanship is so exquisite that it could easily pass for the real thing. How did you know it was fake?"

Gu Wanyin: "Because... the real one was buried with me, in my tomb."

Later, Gu Wanyin won Best Actress for her superb acting.

Just as her fans were celebrating, someone dug up the bestselling history book of the year, "The Life of Empress Zhaoming", written by Gu Wanyin. Someone else found a video of her catching a criminal with her bare hands, her doctoral degree, and records of her anonymous donation of cultural relics worth over a hundred million to the National Museum...

Fans: Sis Yin, what other surprises have you been keeping from me?

Haters: Is it too late to become a fan now?

Reading Guide:

1. The fake heiress is a fan of the heroine, and they get along very well. They won't fight over the family fortune.

2. The heroine's relatives will eventually come to truly love and accept her.

Gong Qi was in a car accident. While she lay in the intensive care unit, Qin Huaile, her boyfriend of three years, was nowhere to be found.

After she was discharged, Gong Qi learned that on the day of her accident, Qin Huaile had spent the whole night chatting with his first love.

From then on, Gong Qi declared that she was completely done with Qin Huaile.

Movie emperor Jiang Lian was usually so cold and aloof that he seemed like an unattainable flower on a mountaintop.

Jiang Lian's voice was cool and clear, while the voice of the voice-streamer "Qizi" was rich and magnetic. Before long, all sorts of niche ships sprang up between them.

Jiang Lian's die-hard fans accused "Qizi" of chasing clout, mocked her as ugly, and kept reposting the side-profile photo of the movie emperor's girlfriend to humiliate "Qizi".

One day, Gong Qi accidentally turned on her camera during a livestream, and everyone discovered her astonishing beauty...

Then someone began to wonder: Wait! Why do I feel like she looks a little like the movie emperor's girlfriend?

A month later, Jiang Lian showed up at her door. "Would you marry me for a year?"

Gong Qi hesitated, about to refuse.

Jiang Lian asked again, "Would you give me a year of marriage for ten million?"

"Deal!"

A single wedding-ring post from Jiang Lian brought Weibo crashing down.

The host asked Gong Qi, "Why did you announce your marriage so quickly?"

"Movie Emperor Jiang is so handsome. If I didn't make my move early, someone else would get him."

Jiang Lian couldn't stop smiling. "I wanted to make my move early with Xiao Qi too, so I announced it as soon as we got our marriage certificates."

The host then asked Jiang Lian, "Weren't you worried that your fans would leave after you announced your marriage?"

"If I don't have many fans left, I'll just go home and inherit the family fortune."

As their one-year agreement neared its end, Gong Qi prepared to terminate the contract. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lian took out a photo of himself as a child.

Only then did Gong Qi realize that Jiang Lian was the childhood friend who had sworn to marry her when they grew up, twenty years ago.

Jiang Lian whispered in her ear, "Let's not get divorced. How about we keep living like this?"
