[Old, cringey work. My first attempt at a plot-driven story went off course and turned into a mess. Read at your own risk.] (A silly supernatural story)
Zhan Nanyan thought life was far too boring, so she transmigrated into a world teeming with paranormal horrors.
In this world, she was a bug in the system.
Ghosts could not touch humans, but they could possess people who were mentally unstable and had lost their reason. So the ghosts all took to scaring people.
As it happened, ghosts were the one thing Zhan Nanyan feared least.
She was also bound to a metaphysical livestream System. It had all kinds of features, and she could trade livestreams for items. The System was determined to lead her to conquer both the living and the dead.
Zhan Nanyan wasn't interested. She only wanted to make money.
The actress whose body she had transmigrated into had been blacklisted by the entertainment industry, was plagued by scandals, and owed a massive amount of money.
With no other choice, Zhan Nanyan began making money by catching ghosts.
She just hadn't expected to run into so many idiots along the way.

According to the System, this world was formed by combining three novels aimed at male readers. Each male lead had a tragic past and was ruthless, decisive, and cold-hearted.
Not one of them was someone to mess with.
The strongest was Wen Shu, the male lead of an urban supernatural novel. Born into a distinguished family, he was possessed by an evil ghost as a child, causing an unimaginable tragedy. He sealed the ghost inside himself and died along with it, becoming a wandering spirit after death. While roaming as a ghost, he treated the laws of the underworld as meaningless and took the Ghost King throne three times, only to be driven off each time. With no other choice, the underworld recruited him as a civil servant.
Every time Wen Shu went to work, he ran into Zhan Nanyan.
The gods of ghosts, embodiments of darkness and decay, escaped from the underworld. Born in darkness, savage and cruel, they were on a completely different level from humans.
While everyone else trembled in terror, eyes rolling back, Zhan Nanyan started discussing celebrity fandom gossip with the gods.
"...What?"
Should I even bother stepping in?
The two of them were surrounded by the Investigation Bureau. Wen Shu used his powers to disguise them as their coworkers and escape in full view of everyone.
Zhan Nanyan's inner drama queen was struck by inspiration. She grabbed Wen Shu by the hem of his clothes. "Uncle, my boyfriend hasn't arrived yet. Don't leave so fast!"
"...!"
Utterly stunned.
Later, Zhan Nanyan looked at the former Ghost King and held out a hand.
"Be my dog. I'll feed and house you, and the conditions are no worse than the underworld's."
System: [?!]
Stop flirting around, please!! Wait... how did this person get famous?
1. The heroine grows over time; extensive original worldbuilding; one-on-one romance.
2. Mild horror + comedy + everyone is drawn to the heroine.
★ Upcoming: "The Top-Tier Star's Mom Fan Becomes His Stepmother"

Question: What is the ideal marriage like?
Answer: Cinderella marries into an elite family. Her husband's parents are both dead, and he is in poor health, spending years abroad for treatment, practically as good as dead. The household has only an adopted son and a brother-in-law her own age.
The stepson is a hardworking career-focused type who spends all his time at school and his agency, with a bright future ahead. The brother-in-law is a playboy who parties every night and has no interest in fighting her for the family fortune. Neither of them likes coming home.
After transmigrating, Yun Yisang lives alone in an empty mansion with a fortune worth hundreds of billions, sitting amid piles of money every day and doing her best not to laugh out loud.
Even more surprisingly, before transmigrating, Yun Sang was a devoted mom fan of the top-tier star Sheng Mu. Sheng Mu debuted in a boy band and shot to fame at fifteen. Talented and hardworking, he won Best Actor at eighteen and swept the three major film awards at twenty-four, becoming the youngest actor to achieve the grand slam. At twenty-five, after suffering from depression for years, he died by suicide, causing a massive public outcry and leading to the decline of the Sheng family.
Now Yun Yisang has really become Sheng Mu's mother.
2.
Sheng Mu only remembered one thing about the stepmother who had married into the family less than a year ago: her mournful, lonely gaze. She was beautiful, but made him not want to get close.
But then, one day, his stepmother suddenly seemed like a different person...
His manager happened to pass by and glance at his mom, then went right over to hand her a business card. When he learned she'd married young, he spent two days lamenting her lost youth, then bundled Sheng Mu and his mom into a hit family reality show.
The wealthy mother and son, close in age, caught everyone's attention and soon became famous in a way no one could have imagined.
Other mother-son pairs featured capable mothers and obedient sons, loving each other dearly. Yun Sang was a burst of effort followed by long stretches of lying flat. She would declare before bed that tomorrow she would make Sheng Mu a loving breakfast, then wake up at noon to find that Sheng Mu had already prepared eight dishes and a soup and set them by her bed.
Netizens: [A mother has been bedridden for years, and her son cares for her devotedly without ever leaving her side. The details are heartbreaking!]
Yun Sang: "..."
Theme: Dare to try things in life.
It made me laugh so hard, I burned my opponent's house hahahahahahaha
Ghost: She is so beautiful, I want to be her dog
The transition is a bit strange and I can't connect right away.
Did I miss it? Who is Mei Jianqing?
Some places are not very coherent, it feels like you are watching while jumping. The ending was too hasty. How did Xinwen make such great progress hahh
It feels like there are many places. Is there any explanation?
What exactly is a phantom limb?
Does the money belong to the wife? Haha.
