[Upcoming: What If My Beast Companion Is a Munchkin Cat?] [Upcoming: Prank Variety Show, Taking the Entertainment World by Storm!] Please add them to your favorites, and please follow my author page too, my dears! ❤️❤️ [Blurb for the novel below] Jiang Ruqi always thought that, with her exceptional talent, she was the female version of the Chosen One in this world. But on the day she turned eighteen and finally became old enough to summon a beast companion, she failed to summon a fearsome three-headed hellhound or a noble three-legged Golden Crow. Instead, she summoned... an adorable calico cat? Jiang Ruqi stared in shock, cat in her arms. Impossible. My summoned beast can't be this cute! Unwilling to give up, Jiang Ruqi tried again. As a genius, she lived up to everyone's expectations. While most people could form contracts with only five summoned beasts, she could form an unlimited number. Next, she summoned... A round little red panda, a chubby puppy, an affectionate little ferret, a short-tempered myna... Jiang Ruqi, a cool and aloof woman standing 178 centimeters tall, stared dumbfounded at the little creatures in her arms. “I heard summoned beasts can sense their master's heart. They only appear when their master's desire is sincere...” “No one's ever summoned a beast they didn't like. At most, their spiritual power wasn't enough to summon a rare species...” “So that intimidating big sister...” “So the big sister actually...” Hearing the whispers, Jiang Ruqi blushed bright red. “Wow,” mocked her opponent, who had summoned a qilin. “Who knew our cool, mature beauty liked fluffy things so much...” “Xiao Dun, get in there!” Jiang Ruqi waved her hand and sent out the calico. “Use your special move, Xiao Dun!” “Meow~” “Th-this!” The referee was stunned. “The cuteness level has exceeded the limit. The opponent's mental state fluctuated too much, and they've passed out. Jiang Ruqi, you win!” “Hmph.” With her face bright red, Jiang Ruqi hugged the cat and furiously stroked it. She cast a haughty, icy glance at her opponent, who had been knocked out by cuteness, then turned and walked away with her head held high. Stay calm. She was definitely the Chosen One! (Beast-taming novel, academy setting, leveling up, with competitions at the heart of the plot. There is a male lead, and he is human. He appears later on. The fluffy companions never turn human. They'll always be fluffy!) (Blurb written on 2021.12.11) [Blurb for the upcoming novel Prank Variety Show, Taking the Entertainment World by Storm! Please add it to your favorites!] Lian Yanshu was reborn in a world where the entertainment industry was in a terrible slump. Every celebrity was treated like royalty, making money while lounging around all day. The investors only cared about pleasing fans and ignored what the general public liked. The entire entertainment industry was stagnant and lifeless. Having spent her whole life directing variety shows, Lian Yanshu shook her head again and again. “No wonder everyone says the domestic entertainment industry is finished! Every celebrity is so fake, and the investors keep feeding everyone garbage. These robots aren't worth liking, and these variety shows aren't funny at all!” She rubbed her hands together. “I'll be the catfish that stirs things up. I'll turn this pond upside down!” Lian Yanshu immediately decided on her new show: a live prank variety show. 1. Help! I accidentally overheard an explosive secret that could set the trending topics on fire. What should I do? (The target: a rising young actor) A rising young actor was thrilled to get the chance to work with a top-tier star, and, by coincidence, they were sharing a dressing room! But just as the young actor was changing, the top-tier star walked in too. Apparently thinking the room was empty, he started arguing with his manager. One explosive secret after another came spilling out. The young actor listened, wide-eyed, thoroughly enjoying the gossip, when suddenly the top-tier star started changing too. Footsteps drew closer. What should he do? This is an emergency! The audience was already laughing themselves silly. “Someone make a reaction image of him! That expression is pure despair, hahahaha!” 2. The male and female leads keep making snide remarks at each other, and the bystander is sweating bullets. What should they do? (The target: a fellow cast member) The highly anticipated leads of a historical romance drama had secretly dated, only to break up right before the most important promotional period. During a live interview, as the two traded barbs, a fellow cast member was terrified their breakup would come out and ruin the audience's favorite pairing. They frantically tried to signal to them and smooth things over, but still couldn't stop the two leads from going completely off the rails! The audience laughed until they cried. “They're so dedicated, hahahaha! They almost exposed their own secret just to cover for them!” 3. What will a celebrity do when they discover during a livestream that the products they're selling are terrible quality? 4. What will a member of a top-tier boy band do when he accidentally discovers that the group's center and ace is a woman disguised as a man? 5. While filming a carjacking scene for a crime-action movie, an actor smashes a window and climbs into the car, only to realize he may have stolen a random bystander's vehicle. What will he do? 6. Will a celebrity obey when a supposedly venerable veteran actor, whom they've never even heard of, throws his weight around and bosses them about? 7. And more... What? The show is a huge hit? Talent agencies have stopped coddling their princes and princesses, and are fighting tooth and nail to get the production crew to prank their own celebrities? Lian Yanshu gave a smug little laugh. “All celebrities, on your feet! Remember what your actual job is: entertaining the audience!” Theme: Move forward bravely and never give up.
