Lin Shenshen grew up in an orphanage until she was thirteen, when the Zhou family finally found her.
It turned out she was the real daughter who had been switched at birth by Zhou Xi's mother. Zhou Xi, who had been raised by the Zhou family, was the fake daughter.
The Zhou family had deep bonds with Zhou Xi, and after returning to the family, Lin Shenshen never tried to take anything away from her.
But the Zhou family never liked Lin Shenshen.
At first, Lin Shenshen didn't mind, until Lin Xuxu, the orphan girl she'd brought home as a younger sister, died at twelve after a failed heart surgery.
Having lost her only family, Lin Shenshen devoted all her feelings to the Zhou family. She gave without limits, but all she received in return was more neglect and unfair treatment.
At sixteen, Lin Shenshen suddenly developed leukemia and died after resuscitation failed.
When the doctor notified the Zhou family, they had no time to see Lin Shenshen one last time. Zhou Xi had sprained her ankle during figure skating practice and was at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital getting it set.
Only after dying alone did Lin Shenshen learn that she was the real daughter in a story about a fake daughter.
Because Lin Shenshen was the villain, her only family, Lin Xuxu, had to die, so that she would turn to the Zhou family and start competing with Zhou Xi for their affection.
Because Lin Shenshen was the villain, losing her only family wasn't enough. She had to die, too.
When she opened her eyes again, Lin Shenshen was reborn at the age of seven.
She obtained the Villain Countermeasure System, and from then on, an invisible PK health bar hovered above her head.
Lin Shenshen versus the villain.
Lin Shenshen's health bar was gold, while the villain's was black.
The System told her that as long as she trained hard at figure skating, she could earn gold character points and compete against the villain's health bar.
At first, the health bar was entirely black.
Later, the gold and black on it were evenly matched.
Finally, the health bar turned completely gold...
After winning the figure skating championship, Lin Shenshen received a letter from a fan:
Hello, Lin Shenshen. I'm one of your little fans. Before I saw your competition videos, I had never paid attention to figure skating. But now I've fallen in love with the sport. Not because of its beauty or artistry, but because your performances have shown me the true charm of competitive sports: the thrills, the suspense, the pushing beyond one's limits.
Lin Shenshen had another secret: the System came with a livestream room.
All the viewers in the livestream room came from Little Sun Star.
The people of Little Sun Star had once been immortal, their lives forever frozen at seventeen.
But one day, a black wind swept across Little Sun Star. All its people aged overnight and lost all their vitality.
Only the power of exercise could save Little Sun Star, but exercising in the black wind was extremely difficult.
The people of Little Sun Star chose to lie flat, submitting to the evil force of the black wind.
Then one day, a livestream for everyone opened on Little Sun Star, with Earthling Lin Shenshen as the streamer.
The people of Little Sun Star could reward Lin Shenshen with real money and interact with her.
And so Little Sun Star launched a planet-wide plan to spend money raising their favorite child star. They also learned figure skating alongside Lin Shenshen, sparking a planet-wide figure skating craze...
A companion novella about a sprinting champion, The Vast Sea Beneath the Sun, tells Lin Xuxu's story.
