The Pretty-Faced Vase Is a Mecha God

An empty street, a dense primeval forest, and depleted energy supplies... Ji Jiuxiao always thought she was living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Until one day, a spaceship landed. Ji Jiuxiao: I'm in the apocalypse, and you're in a cyberpunk world? As an orphan who had been lost in the stars, Ji Jiuxiao was sent to an interstellar relief station. A talent scout spotted her at a glance, and she became a pretty but talentless D-list actress. Half a year later, a director had a sudden idea and created a variety show about preparing for the military academy entrance exams. It was so outlandish that nobody had high hopes for it. "Is this guy crazy? You can't just get into a military academy on a whim!" "The entertainment industry should stop trying to piggyback on the military academy's popularity. They have nothing to do with each other!" "Which unlucky celebrity would take a job like that? They'll get laughed out of the business." Ji Jiuxiao, the unlucky, broke celebrity, signed on because... they were paying way too much! The variety show was broadcast live. When the celebrities walked into the exam hall, the internet was full of mockery, with everyone guessing how badly the washed-up stars would do. Three days later, the results were announced. Ji Jiuxiao was the only one on the list, and the whole internet erupted. Viewers: ? Viewers: We're all just here for the laughs. How did you actually pass? Viewers: I won't say who just got mad. Facing the camera, Ji Jiuxiao looked completely innocent. "That's it? I thought it would be hard." That night, the D-list actress became an overnight sensation. Countless people reported suspected cheating, questioned whether the show was scripted, and begged her to share her secrets... Amid the uproar, Ji Jiuxiao packed her things and strode into the military academy. As Ji Jiuxiao appeared on screen less often and stopped acting, public interest steadily waned, much to her fans' distress. They never expected her to break the internet again during a joint military academy exercise. On camera, the cadets were fired up, fighting fiercely and bursting with energy. When the camera panned to Ji Jiuxiao, she was calmly flipping through The Actor's Self-Cultivation. Viewers: ... That day's headlines: #Shocking! Military academy cadet caught secretly reading this book during an exercise!# #What acting book are military academy cadets secretly reading? Do you know?# Later, Ji Jiuxiao piloted a mecha, fought her way through the enemy lines, and staged an impressive comeback. In an interview, she said solemnly, "My dream is to keep being a pretty face." School is so hard. Being a pretty face pays better, but nobody told her she'd have to pay a penalty for dropping out of the military academy! * In the interstellar age, humanity awakened to psychic powers and learned to pilot mechas to repel foreign enemies. The disease known as psychic collapse appeared alongside them. As the age progressed, human psychic powers came to be divided into two types. One was aggressive and could control mechas, while the other could provide psychological counseling and ease psychic collapse. Ji Jiuxiao belongs to the latter type, so she entered the entertainment industry to help people relieve stress through immersive film and television experiences. But the effect was limited, so she ended up as a pretty face. Everyone understands the theory, but why is Ji Jiuxiao's healing ability so aggressive? Military enthusiasts watched Ji Jiuxiao wreak havoc in her mecha and wondered: You people in the entertainment industry call this a pretty face? Note: Most of the story takes place at the military academy, with a few scenes of her filming interspersed. My next book will be I Found a Monster. Please add it to your favorites~ Blurb: Qin Zheng fell into an abyss and encountered a monster at the bottom. The monster looked human, but was blind, moved like a beast, ate raw flesh and drank blood, and couldn't communicate. It even tried to eat her. Her neck was bitten open, and her blood let the monster see the light of day again. Qin Zheng and the monster reached a delicate balance. She fed him blood and taught him to speak, while he shared his food with her so she could survive. At the most wretched point in her life, she relied on a monster for company. The tendons in her hand had been severed, and she could no longer wield a sword. She needed a blade. Using blood and praise as rewards, and pain and hunger as punishment for disobedience, she tamed the monster and turned him into an obedient dog. They escaped the abyss, and the first thing they did was recover the half of her spiritual bones that had been taken from her. Her monster was powerful and obedient, accomplishing every goal for her. With her spiritual bones restored and her hand tendons healed, Qin Zheng no longer needed the monster. So she decided to discard the dog and use him as bait to lure away her enemies. * When Qin Zheng encountered the monster again, she woke from a faint on his bed. The monster inched closer, bit her finger, and licked the blood. Qin Zheng: "Jing Luocheng!" A name was part of the rules. When the master called, he had to answer. The monster's teeth worried her finger. His tongue lapped up the bead of blood. He raised his eyes, then covered her mouth with his palm. It's over... She hadn't finished training her dog. He had turned into a wolf and was striking back. Theme: Stay true to yourself
