After the Beautiful Streamer Lost Her Beauty Filter

[Upcoming works: The Melon-Eating Spirit Heroine Goes Viral and Parenting Variety Show Star, Famous for Throwing Her Dad Under the Bus. See my profile for their blurbs!] Blurb for this novel: Yu Xingxing's fans call her Lemon TV's one and only fairy. But she knows she's no fairy. She just cranks the beauty filter way too high. It's not that she looks a little different with the filter on, it's that she has absolutely nothing to do with her real self. Of course, she's not ugly. She's just not ethereal. As a fairy, she doesn't have to do anything. She just smiles at the camera, and rich fans shower her with hundreds of thousands in one evening. The comments are all things like [Fairy], [A star really did fall from the sky], and [She's so ethereal, I love her so much]. But Yu Xingxing feels like she's going to a funeral every time she starts streaming. She's about to suffocate. One day, Lemon TV glitches, and when she turns sideways to grab something, her beauty filter disappears for two seconds. [Who are you??] [!? Where's my huge fairy!?] [The top donor has gone silent] Yu Xingxing stares at the screenful of comments, stunned. Then a line of text suddenly appears before her eyes: [Congratulations, Host. You have been bound to the Shenanigans System. Please complete your first task: collect a thousand characters' worth of "ha." ] ? This is what she's best at! She's been wanting to do something ridiculous for ages! From then on, Yu Xingxing's livestream is never called "ethereal" again. Instead, the comments are filled with: [Hahahahahaha, I love watching funny beauties. Xingxing turned into a chimpanzee.] [The streamer has gone crazy, and now I'm laughing like crazy too, hahaha.] [666666, this streamer is amazing at makeup. She could clearly make a living on talent, but instead she's making a living by fooling around.] One day, during a livestream call, Yu Xingxing is wearing a special-effects makeup look from The Grudge and dancing to a girl group's song when a popular science blogger joins. He's known for his cool demeanor and expertise, and his topic is mental illness. Just as Yu Xingxing freezes up, afraid the doctor will take her away to study, he suddenly stands up, adjusts his glasses, and starts dancing to the music she's playing. Yu Xingxing: ? Audience: ? *Special-effects makeup artist x psychiatrist *Two goofballs, with shenanigans as the main focus and romance on the side ★, ★ Upcoming work: The Melon-Eating Spirit Heroine Goes Viral By a twist of fate, Sheng Qian suddenly learns that in her previous life, she was a melon-eating spirit! No wonder she'd been frail ever since childhood, and only felt less short of breath after eating melons (the real fruit) or eating melons (gossip). And after entering showbiz, she found herself with even more energy! But that still isn't enough. For the sake of her energy, she needs more gossip! The more scandalous, the better! So she starts livestreaming every night, calling in viewers to share gossip from their lives. "So, there's this junior manager at our company who got hit by a car recently. Guess who did it? That's right..." Sheng Qian plunges her spoon into a huge watermelon, her eyes shining: Ooh, ooh, more, more! "A friend of mine hooked up with an idol. She said he's so stingy that afterward, he told her to hurry home so she wouldn't miss the last subway." Sheng Qian yawns, completely unmoved and even a little sleepy. Fake gossip. It's awful. At first, the viewers think: A nobody actress is desperately trying to revive her career with a publicity stunt. She only invites actors, and these stories are all made up. Ha. Later, they think: Some of this is actually true! You can tell from Sheng Qian's reactions! So everyone starts tuning in to Sheng Qian's livestream every day, and her audience explodes! As the livestream grows popular, Sheng Qian gets more work, and no matter what the job is, she always runs into more juicy gossip. Everyone starts to wonder: Why is she always wherever there's gossip? Why does she show up in every iconic moment? #ShengQianIsAlwaysThere# Later, during a livestream call, someone reveals: "There's a female celebrity who got famous through livestreaming. She's dating a newly crowned Best Actor." Sheng Qian: ... I don't want to react, but what he's saying is true, aaah! The caller suddenly appears on camera. "Yes, I'm talking about Sheng Qian and me." The viewers: My mind is blown! Theme: A joyful life
