The Saltfish Supporting Actress Goes Viral After Becoming the Foil

[My new book next door, I'm Beautiful and Delicate, but Crushing Infinite-Flow Dungeons Is Perfectly Reasonable, is now out. If you're interested, come check it out!]

Qiao Jiu transmigrated into a notorious supporting actress, the foil to the heroine of an entertainment-industry novel.

Seeing the 500 billion in her account, she decided to lie flat and be a couch potato.

Qiao Jiu: Being a star would only slow down my spending.

When Qiao Jiu terminated her contract with her agency, viewers thought the green tea was finally out of their sight. They never expected to keep seeing her in the strangest places.

During a live variety show, an accident struck. A luxury cruise ship cut through the water and rescued the guests who had fallen overboard. When the show's staff repeatedly thanked the owner and she finally stepped out, it turned out to be Qiao Jiu, who had just been fired from the program.

Qiao Jiu: It's just my vacation transportation.

Viewers: ???

On a dating show, the guests finally got together. Their confession took place in the lounge of a five-star hotel the production team had struggled to book. But when the camera turned, viewers caught sight of Qiao Jiu on the top floor, sipping wine by the window and watching them. Her expression looked exactly like someone enjoying her favorite ship.

Viewers: !!!

On a talent show, several trainees fought their way to fame. Yet on the night their group debuted, the first thing they did after picking up their microphones was give an emotional thank-you to their boss, Qiao Jiu.

Viewers: Numb, but somehow unsurprised.

At first, viewers thought Qiao Jiu only had money on her side. Then they realized she could do everything: speak several languages fluently, whip up food so good it amazed even master chefs, sing, dance, and act...

How had they only just discovered such a treasure?

It didn't take long after she started lying flat for Qiao Jiu to realize she had become famous.

I'm a Gorgeous Human Vase, but Crushing Infinite-Flow Dungeons Is Perfectly Reasonable

Qiao Yuan is a famous human vase in the entertainment industry. She sways after three steps and pants after a few more. In everyone's eyes, she's a brainless, fragile little flower, the perfect combination of beauty and uselessness.

Until she enters an infinite-flow game and is told that if she dies in the game, she'll die in real life too.

Qiao Yuan: ?

Time to show them what I can really do.

At first, viewers in the livestream were already betting on when the useless human vase would die.

Then they watched Qiao Yuan climb down a drainpipe at midnight to pretend to be a ghost and trick teammates with evil intentions, use online dating to deceive an evil spirit boss, and beat up a vicious ghost child...

Her unexpected moves made people bow down in admiration, and made ghosts bow down in the literal sense.

The viewers went crazy: Sis, please stop showing off your powers. You're really not a special forces soldier?!

What happened to being a human vase?!

Qiao Yuan: "Is it possible that there's something in the entertainment industry called a public persona?"

After that, Qiao Yuan's teammates and the game's bosses all learned what "the living are crueler than ghosts" really meant.

Qiao Yuan was the standard by which they measured cruelty.

And the cannon fodder they'd initially thought was doomed became the most legendary player in the game, rising all the way to the top.

Netizens in the real world also noticed that the human vase Qiao Yuan seemed different somehow. She not only cracked a string of murders and uncovered a mysterious ancient tomb, but the identities of her fans who came to light were all highly influential.

A rebellious top-tier star who picked fights with everyone clung to Qiao Yuan on variety shows. He even posted a long, furious message on Weibo to fight her antis, saying Sister Qiao was the GOAT: "I want to be Sister Qiao's dog."

A CEO who had built a business empire from scratch publicly confessed his love, and showed off his room full of Qiao Yuan merchandise in a business interview: "Just seeing her puts me at ease."

A mixed-race princess said to be descended from nobility and the royal family donated millions' worth of gemstones just to take a photo with Qiao Yuan at a charity gala: "Qiao Yuan is my faith."

Netizens: ??? What are these people's relationships with Qiao Yuan?

Qiao Yuan: They're just teammates I met in the game.
