Blurb:

A little Pixiu escapes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas to find a little Taotie. She accidentally ends up in a fake heiress story and becomes Gu Xiaoxiao, the false heiress.

Twenty years after taking the real heiress's place, Gu Xiaoxiao returns to the slums. She disregards her adoptive parents' kindness, joins a dating show to fight the real heiress for men and screen time, and opposes her at every turn.

In the end, she's held up as a foil and mocked online as an "ungrateful, heartless ingrate," until she breaks down and quits showbiz.

Isn't making money much better? This desperate need to compete in everything feels like she's been brainwashed.

Wait... the original Gu Xiaoxiao really was brainwashed by a mysterious force?

The Pixiu, an auspicious beast that wards off evil, thinks for one second: She doesn't care. She just wants to make money!

She joins a dating show and gets paired with Lin Qi, a beautiful, sickly actor with a possessive streak.

When they go up the mountain to pick walnuts, the other teams help each other and fall in love. Gu Xiaoxiao helps Lin Qi rest, rubs the fruit clean, and uncovers a huge pile of priceless collectible walnuts. She saves two for Actor Lin to play with and sells the rest?

When they go fishing in the river, the real heiress unlocks her ability to charm everyone. The little one reaches out... and pulls up a pile of pearl oysters, opening them to find an armful of exquisite pearls. She gives Lin Qi one and sells the rest?

Even when they're weeding the lawn, she finds a peerless medicinal herb! She saves a couple of plants to nourish the sickly Lin Qi and sells the rest!

According to the show's rules, the money the guests find belongs to them.

Gu Xiaoxiao saves money all the way through the show and goes from a girl in the slums to... the richest person in the country!

The guests, who are supposedly there to date: Ooh, making money is so much better than dating!

The netizens who used to call the false heiress an ingrate: Aah! Share this picture of Gu Xiaoxiao to get good fortune!

Song Xi, the real heiress of a wealthy family and a transmigrator who used the protagonist System to brainwash Gu Xiaoxiao: Why is the false heiress richer and more famous than I am? What happened to her being my foil?!

By the end of the show, Gu Xiaoxiao becomes famous across the internet for making money!

The little Pixiu is generous, so she gives half her earnings to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi lets the gloom fade from his eyes.

When he looks up again, his gaze is bright and obedient... like a puppy~

*

Lin Qi won an award for Best Actor and became famous throughout the internet with just one movie.

But he left the industry due to illness, reaching the peak of his career as soon as he debuted.

He makes his comeback because the Lin family has gone bankrupt.

He's in poor health and is a has-been actor... The role he works desperately to land is on a dating show.

A dating show?

Lin Qi smiles obsessively and drags his sickly body onto the set.

His partner, Gu Xiaoxiao, has an eccentric style, cares only about earning money, and avoids the male guests like the plague.

Yet she's the only one who takes extra care of him and gives him half the money she worked so hard to earn.

She's as radiant as a little sun.

He gradually falls under her spell...

Even after discovering Gu Xiaoxiao's secret, he isn't afraid in the slightest.

The little sun is an ancient auspicious beast, a Pixiu?

Then he'll bring the divine beast home.

One day after the show ends...

Lin Qi corners her against a wall, his eyes stubborn. "Lord Pixiu, marry me."

Gu Xiaoxiao: "I... got exposed?"

Poor little Lin Qi: "Marriage?"

The little one blinks in a daze.

Actor Lin can no longer hold back and presses a passionate kiss to her lips.

Yu Susu dies in childbirth.

Only after her death does she learn that she's the villainous mother in a power fantasy novel.

In the book, her son is pursuing a PhD at eighteen, a young genius known far and wide! The young Lu Yunan... is sinister and ill-tempered. He's so vicious that he creates a supervirus to destroy the world.

At the critical moment, the male lead, a power fantasy hero, suddenly appears and kills him, turning him into a stepping stone on the hero's path to fame.

Yu Susu's eyes turn as red as a rabbit's: ?

When she opens her eyes again, she's come back to life, eighteen years later.

Before she can ask Lu Jinzhao how he raised their son... Lu Yunan is already about to develop a supervirus!

She makes a snap decision:

Pretend to be an underclassman at a nearby school, invite him onto a variety show, and keep him far away from the plotline about destroying the world!

Lu Yunan looks at the face that's 100% identical to his mother's and agrees. Then, seeing their title as "intern siblings," he falls into deep thought...

The show begins filming, and everyone uses the most popular live-streaming wristbands of the moment.

Yu Susu looks bewildered and frantically searches the original owner's memories: What is this? How do you use it? Lu Yunan hides the darkness in his eyes, fastens the wristband for her, and explains how it works in a stiff voice.

Yu Susu blinks obediently and greets the camera... The viewers are instantly struck by her beauty!

[Aah! The little sister has a god-tier face!!! Pretty girl, come cuddle~]

The guests have to make their own meals.

Yu Susu stares blankly at all the high-tech appliances. Lu Yunan thoughtfully takes charge of cooking and makes steak and sandwiches.

Yu Susu immediately takes her grown son to light a fire on a traditional stove. Before long, the air is filled with the aroma of braised pork ribs, sweet-and-sour fish, spicy diced chicken, crispy shrimp... it carries for miles!

The guests from other teams drool with envy; viewers frantically order takeout!

[What kind of top-tier chef is this?!]

In a live-action CS game, they have to earn their living allowance.

Yu Susu has only ever played Super Mario, so she looks to her grown son. Without a word, Lu Yunan carries her to victory... Well, halfway to victory, they nearly get killed by the power fantasy male lead, who suddenly appears!

Yu Susu turns around and shoots him in the head!

[Ooh! The little sister is so cool!!!]

After the sibling variety show ends, Yu Susu and Lu Yunan, the "intern siblings," become a huge hit.

[Is the little sister some kind of all-around little fairy?? I love her!]

[Aah! The sibling ship with Lu Yunan is so adorable, too!]

Just then, Lu Yunan holds up the newly printed paternity test. "Mom?"

Yu Susu: "That's right, my dear son!"

Lu Jinzhao, who happens to witness it: "?!"

*

Lu Jinzhao once swore to grow old with someone. But before he could fulfill his promise, that person was gone.

From then on, he devoted himself to work and paid no attention to anything else.

Later, he sees a face identical to the one in his memories beside his son...

His mind roars!
