You Can’t Beat Me in Terms of Beauty

Shi Jian is a hugely popular actress, with fair skin, stunning looks, and long legs. She was born to be a leading lady.

She has an intense performer’s personality. Wherever Shi Jian goes, beautiful women and handsome men pale in comparison, reduced to mere supporting roles.

Shi Jian: I’m going to live long and stay beautiful forever.

Then, at a young age, Shi Jian kicked the bucket and was dropped into a horror-game livestream app. It was full of monsters, and her only chance to come back to life was to survive inside.

Shi Jian: ...

How terrifying. This is asking too much of a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse like me. I might as well just die. QWQ

Shi Jian lay flat, trembling and waiting to die. Just as a monster was about to finish her off, she suddenly smacked its hand away.

Shi Jian snapped, “Quit pawing at me! Change your position. The left side of my face looks better on camera than the right!”

The monster she’d just scolded: ???

Shi Jian had only ever been the star of her own show, and even in a situation like this, she was determined to stay the star.

While the other players hid in the dark, holding their breath, she headed straight for the ghosts and monsters. It wasn’t that she wasn’t afraid. The lighting was just better over there.

A jewel-like beauty needs good lighting!

During the battle royale, Shi Jian ran while applying eyeliner with her bare hands, used a mini-boss’s icy special effects as a fan, and stripped a beautiful wedding dress off a female ghost to put it on herself. A woman should get whatever she wants.

The monsters held an emergency meeting: She’s provoking us. This has to be deliberate. It’s not very destructive, but it’s deeply insulting.

After some discussion, they noted that Shi Jian had smacked some of them, slapped others, and even pulled some of their hair.

They needed legal assistance from the supreme executive officer!

The aloof supreme executive officer said nothing: My wife’s the boss. Don’t bring me into this. Don’t get me in trouble.

At first, the livestream viewers said:

“My prediction: the streamer won’t last three minutes!”

By the end, they were saying:

“Come watch the streamer beat monsters in all kinds of ways! It’s so addictive. I feel awful if I miss a day!”

The livestream viewers had thought Shi Jian was a delicate greenhouse flower who wouldn’t make it through a single episode. They never imagined she was a force-of-nature flower.

Delicate greenhouse flower Shi Jian: How scary. But I’m the only one who gets to be the main character!

My new novel, which started in February, is in my profile: The Savior of the Cultivation World. Come take a look!

Synopsis:

The moment Ye Lanqiu saw her own face after transmigrating into a book, she knew she was definitely not some random extra.

She looked around at the icy senior brother who cultivated the ruthless path, the junior sister who seemed like she might be lovesick, and the outer-sect junior brother who was making a comeback despite having a trash spiritual root.

Ye Lanqiu: Hahaha, all the plot tropes are stacked up. It’s a triple-decker disaster no matter how you arrange them!

At least she’d arrived early.

To avoid becoming the one who gets stabbed, the villainess, or the harem of a Dragon-Proud Protagonist, Ye Lanqiu began frantically trying to save herself.

Ye Lanqiu showed the icy senior brother some warmth and emphasized the importance of friendly fellow-disciple relations.

The senior brother melted.

His eyes softened, and Ye Lanqiu received homemade pills, handmade pastries, and several pairs of knitted gloves.

Ye Lanqiu: What in the world? He went from following the ruthless path to following the path of domestic bliss.

Ye Lanqiu collected stories about cultivators killing their wives to prove their Dao and stuffed them into her junior sister’s hands.

She warned her not to pick up strange men by the roadside.

From then on, her junior sister was 0.3 seconds faster to draw her sword whenever she faced a man. Her heart was colder than someone who’d spent ten years gutting fish at RT-Mart.

When the Dragon-Proud junior brother was being bullied, Ye Lanqiu descended from the heavens to save the beauty.

The junior brother stared at her in a daze. “Who are you?”

“Your life coach.” Ye Lanqiu grabbed a little blackboard and started drilling him on proper conduct for men.

A man who doesn’t respect himself is like a rotten cabbage.

At last, when the junior brother had pulled his clothes up to his Adam’s apple and was determined not to show a bit of skin, Ye Lanqiu finally got her script.

Ye Lanqiu: Flawless! I’ve got this in the bag.

The script: You are the savior of the cultivation world.

Ye Lanqiu: ...

Huh? Me?

The real Dragon-Proud Protagonist was actually her?!

Ye Lanqiu had only ever seen people pretend to be weak while hiding their strength. Could someone tell her what to do when she was actually a pig?

Figuring everything was already a complete mess, Ye Lanqiu whistled at her rival, the genius sword cultivator.

“You’re always hanging around me. Don’t tell me you have a crush on me?”

The cool, aloof young man remained expressionless.

Ye Lanqiu: Nice.

The next second, a floating comment appeared above the young man’s head: [Aaaah, the female lead found out! He likes her, he’s crazy about her. Just give the word and he’ll be your devoted firstborn dog!]

Ye Lanqiu: Nice.

Later, Ye Lanqiu was surrounded by her powerful friends and their loved ones. They mobilized as a group, invincible wherever they went.

Ye Lanqiu: Now this feels like being the savior.

Note:

1. The heroine grows stronger over time. She’s powerful, and the strongest by the end. She’s not actually a pig!

Theme: Keep striving and never give up
