Raising a Little Interstellar Dragon, Winning an Ominous Marshal

Advance notices wanted: The Occult Agent Who Became a Hit After Training Vengeful Ghosts, The Real Heiress Is a Top Agent

Su Xia accidentally obtained a giant egg and was bound to a Gourmet System. After hatching a little dragon, she transmigrated to the unfamiliar planet 2435.

Su Xia thought, I have a System, so there's nothing to fear. She worked hard to study cuisine and open a restaurant, only to discover that this was actually a child-raising System disguised as a food System!

So the little one

ate imported biscuits,

drank milk from an alien system,

and slept on a gem-heated bed.

Su Xia: I'm exhausted.

Marshal Smil swept through the Zerg on the interstellar battlefield and rendered outstanding service.

But he was gloomy and brooding. After his subordinates betrayed him and an unidentified spacecraft attacked, he woke up, looked at his own chubby little paws, and fell silent.

How had he turned into a baby?

Advance notice wanted: The Occult Agent Who Became a Hit After Training Vengeful Ghosts

As a prodigy of an occult sect, Lin Xiang excelled at fortune-telling, face-reading, and divination by characters. One moment she was battling a vengeful ghost; the next, she had accidentally transmigrated into a book and acquired a strange new profession.

An agent.

At a company ranked dead last, with artists so obscure that eight hundred out of every thousand followers were fake accounts.

Lin Xiang raised an eyebrow, intrigued by this new profession.

Wouldn't training a few artists be a piece of cake for a genius like her?

What? You can't cry? Lin Xiang nodded. The Hundred-Eyed Hungry Ghost will watch tearjerkers with you every day.

What? You're a coward? Lin Xiang snapped her fingers. The resentful ghost mother, with a thousand years of grudge behind her, will sing you lullabies every day.

What? You're a glutton? Lin Xiang's eyes lit up. The starving ghost in red will eat with you every day.

A week later, a clip of an obscure artist crying on a variety show went viral across the internet.

An audience member asked, "How did your acting improve so quickly? How did you make your crying seem so genuine?"

The artist gazed into the camera and said softly, "All I have to do is think about vengeful ghosts, and I can cry."

The viewers watching online burst into laughter, thinking it was a joke.

But gradually, they realized that the artists under Lin Xiang seemed to have been completely transformed!

They also seemed to know an awful lot about vengeful ghosts, describing them in vivid detail.

A few years later, Lin Xiang's artists made one comeback after another, and she became a top agent.

A reporter asked, "What's your secret?"

Lin Xiang stroked her chin and smiled. "It's simple. Just catch a few vengeful ghosts and get them to help with training."

"What?!"

Advance notice wanted: The Real Heiress Has a Ton of Tentacles

Gu Xiaoman was an octopus spirit, yet she had an extremely bizarre dream.

In the dream, her ex-boyfriend had run up credit card debt in her name, leaving her with three million in loan-shark debt. She had to pay back thirty thousand every month, or she would be abducted and sold into human trafficking.

Meanwhile, the fake heiress who had been switched at birth had become a rising star in show business. Backed by the wealthy Gu family, she had two brothers who doted on her and parents who gave her anything she wanted. She lived in a mansion, drove luxury cars, and was pursued every day by countless eligible men.

When she woke up, Gu Xiaoman curled her lip in disdain. She was a top agent in the industry, representing a double Best Actress winner, an international superstar, and a top-tier celebrity... The rising star couldn't even compare to the artists she managed.

Suddenly, her phone chimed with a text message.

[AAA Loan Company: You must repay thirty thousand by the end of this month, or you'll face the consequences!!!]

Gu Xiaoman's mind crashed. She reverted to her octopus form on the spot, all eight tentacles tangled into a knot, and reluctantly accepted the truth.

She had transmigrated into a story about a real and fake heiress, as the tragic real heiress.

Having pulled herself together, Gu Xiaoman decided to return to her old line of work as an agent.

But when she looked at the artists she'd recruited, she felt utterly exasperated. There was the fragile white lotus villain who cried at the drop of a hat, the scheming green-tea villain, and the sharp-tongued villain who picked fights with everyone...

Was she stuck in a den of villains?

Thinking of her enormous debt, Gu Xiaoman went all out on the lazy bunch.

"You'll become famous when sharks start eating vegetables."

The white lotus, fiercely proud, dabbed at her tears while writing notes on film analysis, then dazzled everyone on I'm an Actor.

"Heh. Even an octopus would applaud a scheme this simple."

The green tea with a self-healing, little-Zhuge mind wore a grim expression and frantically studied schemes from ancient and modern times, then repeatedly took first place in the Scriptwriting Competition.

"You make money slower than a tortoise."

The haughty, cash-strapped sharp-tongued man took the criticism to heart and devoted himself to studying debaters' arguments, then dominated the stage on Qi Pa Shuo.

As she watched her goal of earning a hundred million draw near, Gu Xiaoman smiled until her eyes narrowed. Her artists were working hard, but their publicity had to keep up too.

All eight tentacles sprang into action. She became a superfan and a fan-site photographer, producing fanfiction, fan art, promotional images, video edits... You name it, she had it. Her artists became huge sensations, with endorsements and ads rolling in one after another. Plenty of fans even begged Gu Xiaoman to take on their favorite actors.

At the same time, the corner of a certain CEO's mouth curled up slightly. Watching the progress of his mission to save the villains rise, he thought that saving them one at a time was too slow. Maybe he should start a company with her instead.
