Novel blurb

After two years in the entertainment industry, Feng Ran was still stuck among the lowest-tier actors. She decided to quit and return home to inherit the yin-yang feng shui shop her grandfather had left her, where she could coast through life and wait for death.

But with modern technology advancing, the feng shui shop's business kept getting worse. She couldn't even afford to renovate the place. Feng Ran had no choice but to find another way to make a living, so she started livestreaming fortune-telling.

The internet was full of livestreams of pretty girls dancing and handsome guys showing off. Feng Ran's fortune-telling stream almost got shut down, and then someone sent it trending online.

Plenty of netizens joined her video calls for readings, figuring it would be fun.

“My wife is pregnant, and our first child is a boy. Do you think there's a chance I'll have one of each?”

Feng Ran: “Your forehead is flat, and your children’s palace is damaged. I suggest getting a paternity test as soon as possible.”

A few days later, the netizen sobbed as he said he'd been cheated on twice.

One fan wanted to switch allegiances and asked whether the top-tier star they planned to stan was worth it.

“He's into group sex and coercion. If he keeps this up, he'll be in serious trouble. I suggest finding someone else to stan.”

A few minutes later, the top-tier star and a D-list actor started fighting right there on camera, while the star's fans watched their idol's image crumble in real time.

Later, Feng Ran's livestreams became a huge hit, attracting the attention of a special department. She joined the Underworld-Human World Joint Affairs Office, solved cold cases that had gone unresolved for years, uncovered the secrets of a haunted house with a thousand-year history, and began a busy life of ghost-hunting and solving cases by day, livestreaming by night.

Fang Ning transmigrated into a female-led novel as a troublesome supporting character.

In the story, she was the heroine's troublemaking sister-in-law. She tore the heroine's family apart, only for the heroine to rise up in the end while Fang Ning was left homeless, meeting a tragic fate.

After reading the plot, Fang Ning thought: Why be a vicious villain? I'd rather be a lazy sister-in-law. When the plot reaches that point, I can get a divorce, take the money, and travel the world. What could be better?

So Fang Ning decided to give up trying and change her troublemaker image as she went along.

When the heroine, Ji Xiangyi, brought a man home, Fang Ning immediately said, “What a perfect match. You two were made for each other.”

[This guy was in bed with two wealthy patrons yesterday. Should I tell her? What a dilemma.]

Hey, heroine, what are you doing? Why are you hitting him?

When Ji Xiangchen came home for dinner, one of his dramas happened to be playing. Fang Ning said, “Wow, you're such a good actor! You played that deeply devoted character so convincingly!”

[They say he hooked up with the actress who plays the third female lead, but the fourth female lead is already three months pregnant. So are those two really together? I want the gossip! I want to ask!]

Wait, what? The baby isn't yours, and you've got even more gossip?

When Ji Xiangzhou was gaming and got called a noob by a kid, Fang Ning offered heartfelt comfort: “How dare he call you bad at the game? He's the bad one. His whole family is bad.”

[No, you can't even beat a little kid? Your score is 0-13. You're not just a newbie, you're a real noob! Let me play. I'll rack up kills like crazy!]

Hey, little brother, why are you looking at me like that?

Fang Ning realized that, the more she tried to change her character, the more things started to go off the rails.

The heroine kept asking her to go shopping, saying shopping was better than dating and warning her not to trust men.

Ji Xiangchen came home and immediately started discussing entertainment-industry gossip with her.

Every night, Ji Xiangzhou asked her to help him rank up and fight little kids with him in the game.

Because of their parents, Ji Xiangnian married Fang Ning. But Fang Ning wasn't the wife he had wanted. More importantly, she didn't get along with his younger siblings, so he planned to divorce her.

But when he came back, everything had changed.

[Is this devoted act convincing enough? Maybe I should ham it up even more. Then I might get a bigger divorce settlement.]

[Why is he looking at me so strangely? Is he planning something?]

[He's really handsome, but I'm only interested in his money.]

And then there was this, which he found even harder to understand:

Ji Xiangyi: “Sis-in-law! My company just signed a batch of new artists. My brother always looks like a corpse. Why not trade him in for a new husband?”

Ji Xiangchen: “My brother's a jerk. He doesn't deserve you! Get a divorce. I'll find you a lawyer who can help you get more of the family assets.”

Ji Xiangzhou: “I'm with them. My brother leaves you alone every night. I'll introduce you to my buddy. He's young, strong, and 20 centimeters long.”

Ji Xiangnian: “...”

Could the three of you please explain why your personalities have changed so drastically?

+ "Everyone Can Hear Me Gossipping"

Jiang Tang transmigrated into a book as a vicious cannon-fodder villainess. The System told her that all she had to do was follow the villainess plot obediently, make the heroine look good, and then die to ascend to immortality.

Only an idiot would take on such a brainless task. Jiang Tang decided to lie flat.

But just as she was about to lie flat, she discovered that the original owner had signed up for a variety show, and the cancellation fee was tens of millions.

So Jiang Tang was forced to join the show. She and the System started gossiping about the guests, but she had no idea that the System had hit a bug and everyone could hear her thoughts.

On the show, a popular actress made snide remarks, accusing Jiang Tang of hogging the camera.

+++++Jiang Tang: [Wow, I clearly remember her having a wild time in bed with two sugar daddies just yesterday. Today she's hogging the camera. She really works hard. Fine, I'll let her have the spotlight.]

+Hey, planner, what are you doing? Why are you so angry? What, you say you're her boyfriend?

The top-tier star bossed her around and looked down on Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang: [Who is this guy? Oh, he's the boyfriend of the female director who's secretly married with a child, and he's been hooking up with a wealthy married woman. No wonder single guys are unpopular, huh?]

Hey, Director, what are you doing? Why are you thanking me?

A famous actor came out late at night to say he liked her, hoping to add Jiang Tang to his harem.

Jiang Tang: [What, you like me? But yesterday you were on the street kissing, cuddling, and groping a wealthy man before going off to do all sorts of kinky stuff for thrills. Why have you suddenly fallen for me? Eek, how scary.]

Hey, Actor, what are you doing? Why do you look so terrifying?

But as Jiang Tang kept lying flat, she realized something was off.

+++++The director who couldn't stand her said he was writing a special script just for her.

+++++The actors who had called her a resource-backed star said they wanted to be friends with her.

++++The wealthy top-tier star who used to pick fights with everyone said she was Jiang Tang's most devoted fan.

++++++And her contract husband, the wealthy man who'd said he only wanted to pay her and had no interest in love, said he liked her.

++++++Jiang Tang: ??? Something's wrong. Very wrong.
