After starting work, Li Xiu discovers that strange people show up outside the agency every day.

She drags a middle-aged man with a camera and shifty eyes into the alley next door for some thorough 'persuasion'. Then she grabs a young man disguised as a food delivery courier trying to sneak into the agency and throws him out. After that, people passing the agency instinctively hurry along, shooting her a quick, fearful glance.

Li Xiu is very pleased. This job really is easy. She can even make some extra cash as a bodyguard for the agency's artists.

At a commercial event, an anti-fan disguised as a staff member gives an artist a drink spiked with drugs.

Just as the artist is about to drink it, Li Xiu knocks it out of his hand. "It's poisoned."

Artist: !!

An agency artist is attacked online, but despite wanting to fight back, they can't find evidence against their opponent.

That night, Li Xiu puts on a dark outfit and vaults across rooftops. The next day, she slaps photos of the opponent's crimes down on the table.

Artist: ??

At a gala, a rival pays off the cameraman to film carelessly. Li Xiu overhears them and knocks the cameraman out, then takes his place.

The artist stepping onto the stage sees Li Xiu carrying the camera: ???!!!

What can't you do?!

Later, the agency's artists compete to book jobs just so they can insist on having Li Xiu as their bodyguard. Wherever she goes, other talent agencies try to poach her with huge salaries. Fans of other celebrities crowd around her, insisting their idol can offer even more if she switches agencies. Even people outside the entertainment industry come to her with money and gifts!

Li Xiu: ??? I just want to enjoy a peaceful retirement!
