After Losing My Golden Finger, I Lived to a Hundred

I'm terribly sorry, but this story is on hiatus. My next book will be The Family Group Chat's Red Envelopes Help Me Build a Beast World. Blurb: Have you ever looked forward to the day you'd get a golden finger? When a golden finger really does arrive, will everything necessarily go smoothly? “Disaster premonitions” may draw the attention of criminal organizations, turning their owners into unwilling test subjects. “Yin-yang eyes” make their owners seem like lunatics and madmen to their parents and friends, until a sister returns to take revenge and helps expose a vile case of selling daughters from years ago. Bananas from a “portable immortal farm” make people tell the truth against their will, while cherry tomatoes amplify every joy and sorrow; eat a whole plate and your blood vessels could burst in minutes. Even a reborn person who can accurately pick out hit TV dramas can still drag down the whole crew because their acting isn't good enough... Golden fingers bring them not only a cheat code for their fate, but also plenty of awkward moments that leave them laughing and crying. Don't be afraid. If you want to get rid of them or learn to use them properly, go find You Youyou! You Youyou, special agent of the Golden Finger Reclamation Bureau, is here to help you break free. When disaster strikes, she helps evacuate the public in advance. Mysterious siblings become heroes in the shadows. Pomegranates grown in a most peculiar immortal farm can help infertile couples have children, and a single banana can make criminals sob as they tell the truth... As long as you go to You Youyou, she'll make sure nothing goes to waste. Coming soon: No One on This Dating Show Is Normal From birth through college graduation, Ning Ruoruo has always been a winner in life, and joining the entertainment industry is no exception. She's known as the rising star whose presence brings success to every production, who makes friends everywhere, and who has both great acting skills and a wonderful reputation. But then one day, she changed... First, her chest suddenly tightened as she walked, and she fell into the arms of the first male guest, who thought she was trying to seduce him and pushed her away in disgust. Then, while carrying a glass of red wine, she turned and bumped into the second male guest, and people said it was a classic Mary Sue moment from a romance drama... She didn't know why everything she did suddenly seemed wrong. Then, during a murder-mystery game on the dating show, everyone started stumbling over their lines, and her negative status effects went out of control: acne appeared on her face, her skin got worse, and her figure changed... Just one dating show destroyed years of hard work. When the show ended, she was hit by a car as soon as she stepped outside and died. Her death gave the show its longest-running trending topic since it began airing, and became the last bit of value she had left in life. That was the “future” Ning Ruoruo dreamed about. By then, the negative news that “Ning Ruoruo, a serial flirt, seduced the male guests” had already spread across the internet. At the same time, something called the Plot Correction System quietly bound itself to her. As long as she can uncover her enemies' secrets and strike back, she can stabilize her heroine's aura and change the plot to make things work in her favor. Only then did Ning Ruoruo realize her future wasn't supposed to be like this. Everything happened because she was the heroine of the plot, the person with the greatest fortune, making her a piece of Tang Monk's meat that every jackal salivated over. Everyone who knew the truth wanted to come take a bite. “Everyone? I want to know who's targeting me!” And there was more than one of them. “A dating show is a full-scale female competition. Every rival is your enemy.” Oh, got it. So aside from her, none of the female guests are normal. “Host, actually, you're not normal either. You're the heroine...” Ning Ruoruo gave a cold laugh. Bring it on. Now that they're coming at her openly, there's no one she's ever been afraid of! She's got this! P.S. The heroine is competing for the audience's affection, not the guys'. The Family Group Chat's Red Envelopes Help Me Build a Beast World Qin Yan, who accidentally finds herself in a primitive beastfolk world, is the very definition of sweet and salty. With a baby face that makes her look like she'll never grow up, she's so adorable that it's hard to believe she can use a hammer to make a dozen handmade sheet-metal buckets in a day. Qin Yan looks at the “crowded” river full of fish, holds up her solar-powered phone with no signal, and gazes at the sky. “Sigh! No matter how good I am at making things, it's useless without raw materials!” “Ding, ding, ding, ” “The Family Chat invites you to join!” Grandpa Qin: “My precious granddaughter, you're the one who'll inherit Grandpa's tinworking skills! I've sent a red envelope of raw materials. No one is allowed to grab it. It's for my Yanyan.” From then on, she has a dipper for knocking down roe deer and scooping up fish. How far behind can the fish be? It's sturdy and durable, lasts a lifetime without breaking, and can even be used for self-defense in a pinch. One whack with the dipper, and you'll be seeing stars. Dad Qin: “Yanyan, don't be scared if you get sick. Dad grows medicinal herbs. I've sent a red envelope of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge.” Ginseng, reishi, schisandra, Sichuan aconite, croton, and madwort: whether you want to live or die, take your pick~ There's also Grandma the seamstress's “thousand-layer cloth shoe soles” red envelope, Dad the former leather factory owner’s “leather tanning” red envelope, Mom the teacher's “self-powered electricity generation” red envelope, and Uncle the forest ranger's “wilderness survival” red envelope... And that's not all: there's also an aunt who's a wildlife photographer, a grandmother who used to farm when she was young, a grandfather who fished in rivers, a cousin who's a Michelin-starred chef, an older female cousin who's an archery champion, a younger female cousin who's a swimming star... Everyone in the group says: “Precious Yanyan/Little Sister/Big Sister! Don't be afraid. Your family is right behind you!” The Real Heiress Is Still an Antiques Expert in the Interstellar Era The antiques world is dominated by men, and women who make it to expert status account for less than one-tenth of the field. But that rule doesn't seem to apply to Jiang Liluo. At a young age, she defeated her grandfather's ten prized students and inherited one of the antiques world's most prestigious shops across generations: Yingbaozhai. She never expected that the moment she stepped through the shop's door, she'd enter a whole new world. A question arose: After traveling two thousand years into the future, could her old knowledge still serve as an asset? The answer: Of course! And she'll gain so much more. After arriving in the new world... Ceramics expert: “This bottle of Moutai is definitely an authentic bottle from two thousand years ago. I'll stake my reputation on it!” Jiang Liluo: I never knew “Moutai Town Guesthouse Wine” counted as Moutai. And it clearly says right here that it's strong-aroma baijiu. Everyone knows Moutai is sauce-aroma baijiu. Ancient script expert: “After returning to Earth from the colonies, we clearly lost a great deal of ancient Chinese writing. No one can read all the characters on this book cover anymore. We can only make out the words ‘one’ and ‘below.’” Jiang Liluo: Those two huge characters say “Chinese.” How does no one recognize them? This is obviously a first-grade, second-semester Chinese textbook. Paleozoologist: “This rooster bowl shows us the original form of the chickens raised as livestock two thousand years ago. We can be almost certain that today's four-legged, two-winged beasts evolved from chickens.” Jiang Liluo: That's a hen, not a rooster. It's obviously a fake that couldn't even copy the original properly. Before she knew it, she had gone further and further in this new world. Not only did she turn Yingbaozhai into the Yingbao Museum, she also taught the people of the future, who yearned to preserve their heritage, more about the people and events of her era. Premise: Self-reliance and strength.
