The Max-Level Celestial Master Is Forced into the Spotlight [Metaphysics]

Gu Heqing was a top-level Celestial Master, rumored to be able to ascend to the heavens to seek immortals and dive into the sea to subdue dragons. After signing a ridiculous contract, she was sent to a talent competition training camp.

A talent competition? Just thinking about it gave her a headache! But with a sky-high penalty for breaking the contract, Gu Heqing had no choice but to grit her teeth and join.

Her limbs were stiff in dance class? Gu Heqing pulled out a puppet talisman and slapped it on. In an instant, she became the best performer there.

She couldn't carry a tune in vocal class? Gu Heqing casually summoned a substitute ghost, switching between high and low notes so smoothly that everyone's jaws dropped.

The food didn't look appetizing during the advertising livestream? Gu Heqing summoned a starving ghost to possess her and showed the audience how to eat an entire packet of luosifen in three bites.

After one stunt after another, Gu Heqing declared, “This talent competition isn't so hard after all!”

In an interview before the group debut night, Gu Heqing finally got a chance to use her phone. As soon as she turned it on, a call came in: “Master Gu, help!”

Reporter: “Did the person on the phone just call you Master Gu?”

Gu Heqing: “Uh, I'm pretty good at video games. I'm in the Master rank, so that gaming buddy was asking me to log on and save him!”

Overnight, the third-rate show "Supernova Idol" drew countless sponsors. The wealthy backers discovered that Celestial Master Gu, whom they'd been desperately trying to court, had secretly joined a talent competition behind their backs.

“Master Gu, I just got you an endorsement deal. Could you take a look at my feng shui while you're at it?”

“Master Gu, I've put your ads in the shopping malls and properties owned by my company. Could you help me choose a name for my grandson?”

Netizens noticed that all the usually aloof brand sponsors were fawning over Master Gu. Who was she, really?

Gu Heqing: I'm just an unknown contestant who got sent to a talent competition by mistake. I'll be eliminated in the first round!

Coming soon: "The Gorgeous Top-Tier Star Became Her Nemesis's Cat"

I'm a top-tier female star in the entertainment industry. An accident caused me to switch bodies with a kitten.

I used to have tens of millions of fans cheering me on. Now I have only one person, my former nemesis, who sleeps until two every day and leaves poor little me hungry.

Meow! No time to talk. I'm off to train my new human!

Director Gu Ci found a kitten on set.

As soon as it arrived, it flopped down on Gu Ci's silk pillow as if it owned the place. Fresh salmon and boiled chicken breast were just barely good enough for it, and it would only drink water from Gu Ci's cup. What a fussy little diva.

Gu Ci hadn't planned to become a cat person, but whenever those gem-like, pitiful eyes stared at him, his heart softened for no reason. From then on, a cat appeared in the shots of acclaimed director Gu Ci. It was beautiful, haughty, and full of mystery.

Audience: As expected of a famous director's cat. It has such a strong sense of the camera.

Fans: What do you mean, a famous director's cat? That's a newly minted fashion-industry top-tier star, a Blue Blood brand ambassador, and a leading actor in a major film! Its total number of fans across the internet is almost equal to that of top-tier star Chu Hui.

Chu Hui yawned as she lay on her own little pillow. Could it be that the top-tier female star and the top-tier cat were the same person?

Bonus scene:

At the wrap party for one of Gu Ci's films.

Chu Hui's eyes were hazy with drink, and she wore a smile for everyone. The others knew she was drunk and were about to call her assistant to pick her up.

With unsteady steps, Chu Hui walked over and nestled her face against Gu Ci's chest, as if she'd done it countless times before. “No need. My owner's here. I'm going home with him!”

Everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe their ears.

Gu Ci looked down at the drunk cat nestled in his arms, at a loss for what to do.

That night, over a thousand messages flashed through the production crew's work chat. The entire crew was discussing the gossip.

When did Director Gu and Chu Hui get together?
