Blurb:

Su Changnian transmigrated into a book and was forced to replace her hopeless older brother as the county magistrate.

According to the book, this county would be buried in a landslide a year from now, with no survivors.

On top of that, it was desperately poor. Extremely poor!

Su Changnian: Is it still in time for me to run away?

Looking at the brick in her landlord father's hand and his vaguely affectionate smile, she gave in.

If she couldn't escape, she would just have to face reality.

If the village didn't have it, then she'd go up the mountain!

The villagers watched as their new county magistrate led the way up the mountain, periodically bringing down all kinds of strange plants that they had never dared to touch, claiming they were edible.

Villagers: Your Excellency! Eating that will give you a headache and diarrhea. It could easily kill you!

Su Changnian looked at the long, green plant in her hand. Isn't this just green beans? You only think that because you didn't cook them through!

Villagers: Your Excellency, this... this stuff makes your mouth numb and your tongue bitter. You lose your sense of taste!

Su Changnian: That's Sichuan pepper! I'll go back and make you stir-fried green beans. By the way, do you have soybean oil and chili peppers?

Su Changnian led the whole group down the mountain in a grand procession and cooked for them herself. At first, no one dared to eat, but then a strange, enticing aroma wafted over. Their mouths began to water, and their appetites stirred!

Villagers: Who knew such delicious food existed in this world!

Su Changnian: Stick with me, and you'll eat well!

After solving the villagers' food problem, she had to figure out how to make them rich. Just as she was worrying over where to get the money, she heard there was a band of mountain bandits on the peak!

Su Changnian smirked, revealing the Dragon King's signature smile. Dawn's here! Let's bankrupt them!

The bandits, who had always robbed other people, never imagined that one day they would get robbed themselves.

Su Changnian used a trebuchet to smash the bandits' stronghold to pieces, shouting as she hurled rocks:

"I opened this mountain, I planted these trees. If you want to pass, leave your toll money!"

Bandits: ?????? That's our line, damn it!

Su Changnian: Are you giving in or not? If not, I'll switch to manure!

Bandits: That's cheating! You're playing dirty!

All sorts of strange things and snacks suddenly became popular in the capital, like shaved ice and hamburgers. A large number of illustrated storybooks and novels also appeared, and every young lady had one in her hands.

Gu Yanzhi felt like everyone was staring at him today. At first, he thought it was because he had gotten even more handsome, until he saw the novel in his younger sister's hands.

Gu Yanzhi: What's this? "The Lame Prince Falls in Love with Me"?

The book described him and his archrival with all sorts of forbidden, romantic language. Gu Yanzhi was left staring at it in speechless dismay.

Gu Yanzhi: Where did this come from!

His hopeless sister: I-it wasn't me! I heard it was published by Longevity Press...

A Capybara's Guide to Surviving the Entertainment Industry by Doing Nothing

1

Chi Fanfan was a capybara. All she did every day was eat and sleep, making her the undisputed queen of doing nothing.

Then she transmigrated.

System: You have to become a top-tier star, blah blah blah, or you'll die, blah blah blah...

Chi Fanfan: Oh. Then I'll die. (calm face)

System: Aren't you scared?

Chi Fanfan: Whatever~

2.

Forced to accept the memories and transmigrate, Chi Fanfan discovered that her original self was a vain, talentless pretty face with a mountain of scandals. After thinking about the System's ultimate goal, she pondered and pondered... and still couldn't figure it out.

While everyone in the entertainment industry was frantically competing against one another, she still planned to take doing nothing all the way.

On a variety show:

While the celebrities contorted their faces to complete tasks for a bite to eat, she was off to the side sunbathing...

While everyone else schemed and fought over camera time, she went for a walk...

As the comments mocked her for doing nothing and enjoying the fruits of everyone else's labor...

Chi Fanfan silently walked in carrying a large red bucket filled with fish, each weighing over five kilograms...

Comment 1: Holy crap, I've never caught this many big fish in my life. There's one in there that must weigh ten kilos...

Comment 2: Please tell us what rod you're using!!!! And where's the fishing spot!!!

Comment 3: I don't believe it. There aren't any fishing rods out here in the middle of nowhere. She must be cheating!

The next day, they got to see for themselves what it meant to fish like Jiang Taigong: the fish came willingly.

What the hell, the fish are jumping right into the net!!!! She can talk to animals, can't she!!!

On a parenting variety show:

Other people either took a hands-off approach or were gentle with the kids, but her!

When a child cried and refused to take their bitter medicine:

Brat: The medicine is so bitter!! Take it away!!!

Chi Fanfan: You have a high fever.

Brat: I don't care if I burn to death! It's none of your business!!

Chi Fanfan: (smiles with her eyes closed) Okay~

Yan Moting, boss of the entertainment industry's leading talent agency, was worth hundreds of millions. Within three feet of him, the temperature plummeted. He was practically the Devil of Hell.

But nobody knew that he was a fishing fanatic...

The kind who couldn't catch a single fish, not even during the beginner's luck period!!

One dark and stormy night, the CEO dressed himself from head to toe in black and quietly made his way to some remote pond in the wilderness. After fishing all night and catching nothing, he happened to come across a video of Chi Fanfan on a variety show...

At that moment, his eyes lit up...

Chi Fanfan was suddenly told to appear on a dating show, and her partner was none other than her direct superior...

But she felt like her boss's gaze was strange. He kept asking all kinds of inexplicable questions.

Including, but not limited to, questions about her fishing gear, how she figured out where the fish were biting, how to prepare bait, and what special bait she used.

Chi Fanfan, who could understand animals: No comment!

Yan Moting: Is it a family recipe!! (rubs his hands together)

Chi Fanfan: Yep. Only family members know it. It's a secret. (whispers)

Yan Moting: Oh~ Got it~ Woman, marry me, and we'll conquer the fishing world together!!!!

Chi Fanfan and the System: Are you out of your mind!!!

Fantasy Advance Notice: "I Ascended to Immortality Through Being Awful"

You Qian transmigrated and was bound to a System.

[Congratulations, Host. You have been bound to the Demon King System. Our goal is to make the whole world our enemy!!]

You Qian: Thanks for nothing. I just transmigrated and I'm about to die! Who the hell wants to make the whole world their enemy, huh!!!

"I'm not doing it!"

System: If you don't, you'll die~

After snatching a bun from a little beggar in a corner, You Qian realized she might never be able to go back...

And so...

She gave up completely!

She went to the Spirit Sword Sect to foment cutthroat competition, to the Acacia Sect to promote pure love, and to the Demon Cult to run a pyramid scheme.

Spirit Sword Sect:

An obscure sword sect ranked 108th from the bottom, with a scientifically designed sword-training schedule from nine to five, suddenly got a hard-core overachiever. She practiced swordsmanship on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and cultivation techniques on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, day and night. The Spirit Sword Sect disciples were driven to despair.

Disciples: Big sis, don't you sleep? Is this really necessary!!! Is it really necessary!!!

[Spirit Sword Sect disciples' negative emotions gained: -9999]

Every day, You Qian looked at the negative emotion points provided by the disciples and felt unsatisfied. It was just too slow!

And so...

[Today, I take pride in the cultivation world! Tomorrow, the cultivation world will take pride in me!]

[You're so young. How can you sleep at a time like this? Get up and cultivate!!]

The disciples thought they would get one day off a week. Then they saw the banners plastered everywhere, dark circles under their eyes, and stood there dumbfounded...

Are you seriously not going to let us live!!!!

And then... they snapped...

The disciples: If we're going to suffer, then... nobody gets to live, hahaha! Everyone has to die!!!

At some point, an obscure little sword sect suddenly rose to prominence, growing at a terrifying speed. When people asked how they did it, the disciples would lead them mysteriously into a little dark room...

That was the shortcut to becoming stronger!

You Qian stepped out with a sunny smile. Welcome, new students! Please pay your tuition and buy your books first~

Mo Jingran, an overachiever among the demons, was often denounced by outsiders for being inhumane because he made people work five days and rest two. He didn't care at all. In fact, he rather enjoyed it. But recently, someone had stolen his spotlight...

He was extremely displeased!

Until he met You Qian, and suddenly had an epiphany...

"You're definitely more suited than I am to be the Demon King..."

You Qian: You're too kind. Don't challenge my livelihood with your hobby, thanks!
