The Contrast Group's Female Side Character Goes Viral on a Variety Show Through Stone Gambling

[The blurb for my upcoming novel, I Went Viral After Being Bound to the Lies-Correction System, is below. Please add it to your favorites!] Song Li was born in the jade capital. She was fascinated by jade culture from a young age and studied under a master. At a very young age, she became a top jade carver. When she woke up, she had transmigrated into a showbiz novel as a demanding female side character. She was taking part in a jade-themed travel variety show about running a business with the male and female leads. In the preview episode, she was infatuated with the male lead and resented how attentive he was to the female lead. She made a scene and gave the female lead a hard time, then insisted on taking the largest suite even though one of the guests was sick. The internet was full of people cursing her. The production team cast Song Li as a foil to the male and female leads' pairing, planning to stir up gossip and make the trending lists. But when Song Li saw the familiar jade landmarks and raw jade stones everywhere, she eagerly rubbed her hands together. * In the original novel, Jade Journey was full of highlights. The male and female leads' pairing was hugely popular, and the female lead made a name for herself as a genius at gambling on jade. But this time, they ran into Song Li, a real expert... For the first task, each person had only 3,000 in starting funds and had to earn 20,000 by the end of the day, or sleep in a grass hut. The male and female leads worked together, fawning and acting cute for shopkeepers and passersby until they barely scraped together enough money. They planned to share a suite and grow closer as a couple. Meanwhile, Song Li dominated the raw-stone market, snapping up bargains left and right. A stone that looked ordinary and had drawn only low bids yielded icy jade with vivid green streaks. The owner immediately offered 50,000 for it. The comments flew by like crazy, and viewers called it thrilling. Before long, Song Li's livestream had more viewers than the male and female leads'. The second stop was twice as difficult. The male and female leads copied Song Li and headed straight to the raw-stone market, hoping to find bargains. But with no experience, they had to rely on luck. Not only did they fail to find any, they got swindled out of their money. Meanwhile, Song Li discovered that her original body's father was friends with the owner of the biggest stone trading shop in the area. She had him take her straight to a raw-stone site, where she picked out stones yielding high-ice jade in spring colors, ink jade, and sky-blue jade. The production team got thoroughly trounced, and viewers cheered. #Jade-Gambling Genius Song Li# #What Does a True Jade Goddess Look Like?# #Song Li: I'll casually open a glass-type imperial-green jade to broaden everyone's horizons# Halfway through the show, the variety program kept growing more popular.
