Reborn as Weeds, but Livestreaming My Survival

New upcoming story: “Reincarnated as a Golden Cicada, I Put on a Live Shell-Escaping Show.” Blurb below:

After having her job application rejected for the Nth time, Dugu Cao flipped off the heavens and declared, “If you won't treat me like a king, then I won't be your obedient subject!”

Then, beneath a clear blue sky, a thunderbolt struck her and sent her to another world. Not only did someone step on her, they ground their foot down hard!

“Interstellar Multispecies Survival Story” is the first survival dating show in the galaxy. It gathers a variety of creatures in a single villa, letting viewers across the universe watch moments of life and death, love and hate.

But what made the dating show a sensation wasn't the handsome, beautiful, or powerful contestants.

It was a blade of grass on the little hill outside the villa.

This little weed was not only short-tempered, but also had a rich inner life. The thought bubbles that popped up from it often made viewers laugh themselves silly.

The flirtatious push and pull between a centaur and a human girl

The weed: Give it up. Your reproductive organs are incompatible. Having 108 babies is just a dream. You can only meet in your dreams!

The passionate clash between an insectoid and a robot

The weed: You piece of garbage, do you know that my grass kin are spread across the universe? Step on me, and I'll send my seven aunts and eight uncles to dig holes in your family's ancestral grave. Then you'll go broke!

Viewers: This lousy show is unwatchable without the weed!

Viewers: We strongly recommend that the weed join the show!

So the little weed, which had been stepped on by people, crawled over by bugs, and robbed of sunlight by the tall grass, was announced by the production crew as a new contestant.

Dugu Cao, whose thoughts were being read for everyone's amusement: ?

She didn't want to struggle to survive in someone else's love story!

Production crew: Finish filming, and we'll help you take human form.

Dugu Cao: Well, I suppose that's not a bad deal!

"Once she becomes human, she'll stomp the heads of everyone who ever stepped on her flat!"

“Reincarnated as a Golden Cicada, I Put on a Live Shell-Escaping Show”

I transmigrated into the world of beast taming as a golden cicada. Note: I'm the rare kind that sheds its shell, not the kind that grants immortality if you eat it.

Good news: I'm still alive.

Bad news: I'm about to become an ingredient in someone else's medicine.

I absolutely refused to become a medicinal ingredient, so I befriended a sentient paramecium and had it hide me in the water.

Luckily, I didn't drown, but I had to flee for my life from a loach that chased me for two miles.

Theme: Keep going. Don't give up.
