After Leaving Showbiz, I Opened a Paper Offerings Shop [Mysticism]

Wei Ning wakes up to find that she has transmigrated into the villainess from the novel she read yesterday.

The villainess is mired in scandals and serves as a foil to the heroine. After appearing on the same variety show as the heroine, viewers decide she's targeting her, branding her a fake white lotus and a scheming green tea.

Her Weibo is overrun with haters, and her manager urges her to apologize to the heroine and calm the backlash.

Wei Ning: "No need. I'm leaving the entertainment industry."

"Since I can't be a celebrity, I'll go home and inherit the family fortune."

Her manager: "But isn't your family poor???"

So she was actually a rich heiress?

"My grandfather left me a shop that makes paper offerings."

Her manager: "????"

A shop called Afterlife quietly opens in the outskirts of the capital. The neighbors assume it's just an ordinary paper-offering shop, but when they step inside, they discover all sorts of surprises.

The paper houses are five-story villas overlooking the sea, and the cars are Ferraris... The paper offerings are so exquisitely made that people want to collect them.

The shopkeeper is as pretty as a TV star, but what she says is anything but ordinary: "Would you like to buy a paper effigy? Buy it here, and your loved ones are guaranteed to receive it. We don't make false claims."

Someone cautiously buys one, and that very night, an ancestor appears in their dream.

"Grandson! The phone Old Sun next door bought me is nowhere near as good as yours. It can't even connect to the internet. I've raised you all these years, and now I can finally enjoy the good life!"

The person involved: "..."

The haters get their wish and watch Wei Ning leave the entertainment industry, celebrating with drums, gongs, and firecrackers.

When they hear she's opened a paper-offering shop, they burst out laughing, eager to see her make a fool of herself.

"Going from a celebrity who earns a fortune to a shopkeeper must be a huge letdown."

"Heh. I can't believe she's into superstition. Everyone knows paper offerings are feudal trash!"

But then a group of the most aggressive haters suddenly vanish. When they return, what they say leaves their fellow haters stunned.

"Stop hating on her! My ancestor said I got him blacklisted by the paper-offering shop, so he can't buy the latest paper phone. He says he's cutting ties with me! My dad's been beating me for an hour since he found out."

Haters: "???"

When top actress Su Weiwei hears that Wei Ning has left the entertainment industry, she feels both surprised and relieved.

Only she knows that Wei Ning is the heroine of this book, and a formidable one, loved by countless readers. Su Weiwei, meanwhile, is merely a woman who transmigrated into a book and stole Wei Ning's career and boyfriend.

Now that Wei Ning has left the industry, Su Weiwei no longer has to worry about her making a comeback.

But then she and her boyfriend are invited to a business gala. The guests are all influential figures, and the two of them do their best to keep a low profile and behave cautiously as mere side characters.

Then, out of the corners of their eyes, they spot Wei Ning, surrounded by a crowd of prominent guests.

An actress haunted by a little ghost, a wealthy businessman whose child has gone missing... One after another, they seek Wei Ning out.

Their ancestors had appeared in their dreams and told them she was a master. They absolutely couldn't let this chance pass them by!

Su Weiwei and her boyfriend: "???"
