Dear readers, I expect to enter VIP status on September 13. If you've already read this, please don't buy it again~
To pay off her debts, Yu Jin was forced to enter the entertainment industry. She was attacked by haters as soon as she debuted. Whenever she got a little close to a male star, people accused her of riding on his fame. Eventually, they even gave her the nickname "The Clout Chaser."
No one knew that she was a god to begin with.
Yu Jin was born with little regard for emotions and rarely took anything to heart. She couldn't be bothered by all the scandals in the entertainment industry. Her laid-back, couldn't-care-less attitude infuriated her manager, who retaliated by tossing her into a retirement variety show that nobody thought much of.
A huge wave of haters eager to see Yu Jin make a fool of herself came rushing in.
That was until they witnessed a ghost with a ridiculously long tongue, a vicious expression, and a face covered in blood, clinging to their beloved star's shoulder and stroking his curly hair.
Then Yu Jin reached out and grabbed at empty air. The ghost shrank on the spot, and she swallowed it in one bite...
Great Master, I was wrong! I beg you, please spare me!
The more of the variety show they watched, the more they realized how much the world had kept from them.
Spiritual energy had withered in this day and age. The saying that nothing supernatural could cultivate into a spirit after the founding of the country was true! But nobody had said they couldn't speak human language!
In a special livestream, Yu Jin was making a whole group of animals put on a show in front of the camera.
A fox clasped its paws together and told the story of "The Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might." A tiger was getting beaten up by a little white rabbit, crawling on the ground and shouting, "Wife, have mercy!"
People from the Daoist sects began performing feats like flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth~
A corner of the world was peeled back. Only then did they learn that cultivators still existed in the modern age. In the livestream, they followed Yu Jin and learned the moves with great enthusiasm, all so they could withstand the final danger...
The world changed, and that day finally arrived. Dark clouds pressed overhead, black energy shrouded the land, and an unstoppable force crushed its way across the world.
Countless Daoist masters and members of the demon race gazed up at the sky, awaiting the god's arrival.
The livestream was also flooded with big names: Science Close-Up V and the Institute of Natural Research V.
Yu Jin rose into the air, her eyes clear and cold as she gazed at the world and held back everything that threatened it.
Only then did they realize that she was a god, born to save the world.
The only god in the world (female lead) VS the barely noticeable presence (male lead)
Content warnings: 1. At first, the female lead is emotionally detached. She doesn't care as long as nobody provokes her. Later on, she gets a little more confrontational.
2. The female lead doesn't know where she comes from, and naturally the male lead won't tell her either (there are hidden circumstances).

Currently writing "After the Beautiful and Beguiling Beauty Marries Her Pedantic Husband"
The title is the female lead's complaint about the male lead. He's pedantic at first, but later turns into a passionate lover~
Chu Shengyao was well-behaved from childhood. But with her alluring beauty and graceful figure, her elders kept her confined to the family estate, where she rarely saw anyone.
After some drunken servants talked about her, scholars and poets sang of her beauty, and people called her every gesture an attempt to flaunt her charms. She gained a reputation for being frivolous through no fault of her own.
To keep her from getting in the way of her sisters, her family arranged her marriage early, and she only had to wait until she came of age to be sent off.

Young Master Chu was as bright and graceful as the moon on a clear night. He came first in all six rounds of the imperial examinations, and the emperor was delighted enough to arrange a marriage for him. But an editor at the Hanlin Academy held a grudge against the Chu family and deliberately changed the name on the imperial marriage edict to Chu Shengyao, whose reputation for beauty was well known, hoping to humiliate the Chus.
When the news came out, everyone was envious and lamented that the pure and honorable Young Master Chu had been saddled with a woman like Chu Shengyao. Others said she was currying favor with the powerful and had no shame at all.
Young Master Chu disliked her, but he could only accept the marriage.
After they married, she became even more careful and timid, striving to do everything expected of a Chu family wife in front of this heaven's favored son.
But he was always stern-faced, stiff and silent, and cold as ice. He was forever telling her to walk more properly and speak more respectfully. He also loved to use rules to needle her and punish her by making her copy texts.
Chu Shengyao rubbed her aching wrist and angrily twisted her handkerchief.
She thought, If life is going to be this miserable, then let's just end it!
In Young Master Chu's eyes, his wife's voluptuous figure and her consistently improper behavior displeased him. But she was, after all, the woman he had married in a proper ceremony, and she was fond of him. If she was willing to change, he could still accept her.
Then, after a banquet one night, he was a little drunk. On the bed, his wife's face was flushed, and her damp hair clung to her cheeks. He tenderly brushed it aside. As she slept, she murmured the words "divorce" indistinctly.
Early the next morning, his wife, who had always been pleasant toward him, changed too. She started finding fault with him, mocking him in private with cutting words. "Like him? He's stiff, an old pedant. Even a donkey grinding a mill knows how to turn! Those noble ladies out there must be blind. Who knows what they see in him!"
Young Master Chu's face turned ashen as he heard his wife voice her dissatisfaction with him. He secretly observed her and realized that his wife had not the slightest affection for him.
When she looked at him, he saw respect, impatience, and distance, but never love.
Later, he even found a divorce agreement tucked inside his pillow.
She really wanted to leave him that badly? In her dreams!

One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other
1. The female lead's family treats her poorly. She is timid at first, but later, if you're good to me, I'll be good to you. If you're bad to me, I'll kick you to the curb.
2. The male lead is a pedantic scholar and an old-fashioned stickler. At first, he's always telling her this is wrong and to be more proper, and saying no, no, no. Later, he begs his wife for kisses and wants to make out.
3. There really have been historical cases of people altering imperial edicts, such as Zhang Juhan. There are other reasons for it in this story, which will be explained later.
The synopsis has been saved in advance, and a screenshot has been kept.

Theme: Cherish life
Well, I feel like there's a bit too much description of the heroine's appearance and temperament.
It's so self-righteous that it's suffocating
I don't know why I hate this male protagonist so much
I'm so annoyed by the Riddler, why don't I have this male protagonist?
"Use your own as a salute", which is a big bug for the author~
This world is so dirty, so what if it's ruined
I just started reading it. The writing is good and there are no mistakes in wording. I'm hooked.
