I Took National Treasures Home and Became Famous

[Check out my upcoming stories, "The Villainous Son Forces Me to Cultivate Immortality" and "Going Viral on a Variety Show with My Secret Agent Mom." I'm begging for follows until my voice gives out!]

Xu Ruyuan dies after spending all night arguing with a rival celebrity's fans, then transmigrates into her own idol, "Xu Ruyuan."

"Xu Ruyuan" had just attempted suicide after being bullied online. Her computer is still connected to a livestream with the other actors from her drama, drumming up hype for the show.

When someone is down, everyone piles on. The other cast members are all taking turns dragging her through the mud.

The third male lead says, "Xu Ruyuan gave me her room key last night. Heh, I know I'm handsome, but I'm not that kind of guy."

She can actually hear the thoughts of the antique Tiffany clock behind him: [Laughable. Someone who can't even read doesn't deserve to be an idol.]

Well, this isn't a dead end after all. She has a golden finger that lets her hear the thoughts of antiques.

Xu Ruyuan says, "Take another look at your card. Your brain's so atrophied you can't even read. Here's a library card. Maybe you can learn to recognize a few words."

Netizens: [Huh? He doesn't even know the words 'library card'?]

[Hahahaha, brain atrophy level O-0-o-·]

[I'm dying, he actually held the library card up to the camera for us to see.]

The director accuses her: "This is an antique kingfisher-feather phoenix crown we borrowed from a collector, worth twenty million! Look, everyone, Xu Ruyuan smashed it!"

The antique vase in the director's home says: [Fake crown. His nephew sold the real one to a foreigner.]

She demands proof and gets it. Xu Ruyuan identifies the crown on the spot: "Dyed goose feathers were used in place of real kingfisher feathers, and the filigree work is crude. Your nephew stole and sold the real crown. Oh, that foreigner just boarded a plane. There's still time to get it back."

The director makes a phone call, rolls his eyes back, and faints on the spot.

After the crown is successfully recovered, the collector forgives her 20.08 million yuan debt and gives her one million yuan in compensation for emotional distress.

The only actress who showed her kindness, both on and off screen, has been depressed lately. She has always wanted a second child, a daughter, but has never been able to conceive.

The eighteen-bead bracelet says: [Help her! How can she get pregnant when her actor husband gives her birth control pills every day? Her biological son went missing, and the boy she's raising now is the child her assistant had with her husband.]

After Xu Ruyuan tells her, the actress slaps the actor eighteen times, and his reputation collapses.

With the actress's help, Xu Ruyuan gets one great script and hit variety show after another.

The world is so big, and she wants to see it, so she signs up for a travel variety show.

Her fans say: [She's at the peak of her career. Why take on this lousy show?]

On the doomed travel show, Xu Ruyuan unexpectedly discovers the ruins of the vanished ancient kingdom of Loulan.

The National Cultural Heritage Administration sends Xu Ruyuan three commendations in a row, and top-tier stars and popular idols scramble to join the show as guests.

A Ming dynasty dragon-patterned brick in the Great Eagle Museum sends out a distress signal: [Help the little dragon! The little dragon wants to go home.]

Xu Ruyuan: Coming, coming! The motherland and I are on our way.

From then on, not a single cultural relic could escape the plane ride home: the Twelve Animal Heads, the Elephant-Nose Vase, and the Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies.

Xu Ruyuan becomes a sensation and a beacon of hope for bringing national treasures home.

The travel show becomes a show about bringing national treasures home, moving countless people across China. Every day, they tune in to the livestream to welcome the treasures home.

-A short scene-

A rival celebrity's fan sneers: [What's so impressive about relying on a man? All the relics were bought and brought home by her mysterious husband.]

But then museums overseas race to return millions of relics, even inviting Xu Ruyuan to tour their countries, while elite soldiers from the army, navy, and air force protect her...

The rival celebrity's fan: [...Damn, that's so cool. I'm switching sides!]

The fan sneaks off to welcome Xu Ruyuan at the airport, only to unexpectedly run into her own idol. It turns out her idol had switched sides first and is already teary-eyed, begging Xu Ruyuan for an autograph: "Sis! Sis! No man in the world is good enough for you! Sis, I'm here!"

Isn't becoming a fan of the star of the national treasures the most normal thing in the world?

--Check out my upcoming story, "The Villainous Son Forces Me to Cultivate Immortality"--

Qi Shuiyin, who can pierce the heavens with one sword and destroy the ascension paths of countless cultivators, is the villain everyone in the cultivation world hates with all their hearts. He's insanely handsome, insanely powerful, and insanely wicked.

Qi Shuiyin could have ascended long ago, but he refuses to leave the cultivation world because, three thousand years ago, the righteous killed his mother. To avenge her, he'll destroy the ascension paths of these hypocrites and shatter the thing they've pursued their whole lives.

Just before the righteous cultivators ascend, Qi Shuiyin is well-practiced at piercing the heavens. The Heavenly Dao repairs them, and he pierces them again, and again, and again!

The righteous: ?%&@?*&%

After no one from the righteous sects ascended for several hundred years, they came up with a plan. They would send several disciples back three thousand years and kill Qi Shuiyin's mother before she became pregnant. Then the villain Qi Shuiyin would never exist.

The temporal formation activates, and a bitter wind howls. Qi Shuiyin appears inside the formation too, fixing Han Guang-Jun with a chilling gaze as he sneers, "I'll take good care of your disciples."

Han Guang-Jun, the foremost among the righteous, has been stuck at the same level of cultivation for a thousand years. If you asked who he hated most, the answer was obvious. He gets to his feet and steps into the temporal formation right behind them...

Jiangsha is an utterly ordinary woman who transmigrated into a book. She's neither the protagonist nor a supporting character, just an outer-sect disciple with no special skills.

One day, an insanely handsome man appears at her door. "I'm your son."

Jiangsha: Are you out of your mind?

"Son" is three thousand years old, and she's only twenty!

Qi Shuiyin has two reasons for traveling back in time. First, he wants to spend some time with his mother and help her grow stronger, so no villain can harm her. Second, he wants to find out who the bastard was who betrayed his mother.

Qi Shuiyin guards against everyone day and night, but never expected the heartless man to be the foremost among the righteous...

Theme: Travel through a thousand years of history, listen to the thoughts of cultural relics, and discover how the old can become new again.
