As an introverted witch, Chu Ling finds life difficult in a highly urbanized modern society.
It took her a long time to save up enough money to buy a mountain far from civilization, where she finally achieved her ideal life:
Mountains, rivers, and cats; eating, sleeping, and brewing potions; cursing every idiot who tries to disturb her, without discrimination.
She'd barely enjoyed two days of peace when she transmigrated into a book.
And not just any book: she became a universally hated, disposable cannon-fodder true heiress. To prove herself, she joins the same variety show as the fake-heiress female lead, where she's ostracized and targeted from every direction. In the end, her younger brother exposes her for bullying the female lead, the entire internet turns against her and drives her out of the industry, and both her adoptive and biological parents abandon her. Her ending is tragic.
What hellish soul trafficker dragged her here?
Worst of all, there's a nagging, noisy man by her side telling her she has to appear on some stupid variety show or the penalty fee will bankrupt her.
(Twisting) (Crawling in the shadows) (Going mad)
Let's go crazy together!!!

On the variety show:
A greasy man gets handsy and tries to manipulate her: "Xiao Ling, you can only blame your beauty. It's made my hand develop a mind of its own."
She raises her crystal ball and smashes him to the ground with a thud. "Your hand has a mind of its own? Let's see if it still does now."
Greasy man: ... (Unconscious, unable to reply)
Audience: That was... kind of satisfying.
The fake heiress's eyes turn red. "Sis, I really want to make it up to you..."
Chu Ling strokes her crystal ball. "People who say things they don't mean get slapped!"
A two-meter-long giant fish leaps out of the lake and slaps the fake heiress off the boat with its tail.
Audience: What the hell???
Her idiot younger brother yells at her on behalf of his fake sister. Chu Ling flicks her crystal ball, and tigers, leopards, and brown bears appear in an instant, growling at him.
Chu Ling grins menacingly. "Go on, let's hear you roar again."
Younger brother: Lets out a squeaky roar and faints.jpg
Audience: Mom, why am I watching the livestream on my knees?

Forced to join the variety show by an outrageous penalty fee, Chu Ling keeps a long face and hates everyone equally. She wreaks havoc on heaven and earth and even kicks the air. Even passing ghosts get a beating.
She just wants to make it through this cursed show, preferably by acting so badly that the production team asks her to leave, so she can go back to working, buying a mountain, and living her peaceful life alone.
She never expected to become famous.
What is wrong with this world's audience and their taste???
