Life After Leaving Showbiz to Raise Panda Cubs

Du Jingmo had been in the entertainment industry for three years when she offended a senior figure and was blacklisted. Her life in the capital was a mess, and her family strongly opposed her carrying on, so they called her home to take a civil service exam. The giant panda breeding base was right next to her hometown, and her whole family worked there. They did odd jobs in logistics, cleaning, chopping bamboo, and watching the warehouses. Under her family’s hopes and pressure, Du Jingmo finally passed the exam. On her first day at work, Du Jingmo was assigned to the nursery for the 25th-year class. It had six giant pandas, all around six months old. There had originally been one male caretaker and one female caretaker, but the male caretaker had accidentally fallen and broken a bone. It would take a hundred days for his injury to heal, while the female caretaker was due to retire at the end of next year. She planned to pass all her knowledge and skills on to Du Jingmo, including how to handle the mischievous little ones. Who would’ve thought Du Jingmo would do an even better job than her? The female caretaker praised her nonstop. But Du Jingmo herself was the only one who felt terribly guilty. Because for some reason, she could understand the giant pandas in her class, and she seemed to have a special knack for winning them over. A top-tier star panda returned to China and moved to the hill beside Du Jingmo’s enclosure. Fans came to visit it and accidentally passed by the park where Du Jingmo worked. When they saw her, they filmed her and posted the video online to mock her. Netizen 1: "Honestly, some washed-up celebrity has come here to leech off the pandas’ popularity." Netizen 2: "Oh my god, she’s so desperate to become an influencer that she’s even leeching off giant pandas." Panda Valley reposted: [Stop spreading rumors!! She’s an outstanding caretaker at our 25th-year giant panda nursery!!] Everyone: "!!!!" Netizen 1: "I’m on my knees. I’m sorry, I was wrong." Netizen 2: "Waaah, I was so wrong to look down on you." Other passersby: "Hahaha, don’t insult dogs." The provincial TV station filmed a public service and educational variety show at the base, "Growing Up with Giant Pandas." A mother panda willingly handed her cub to Du Jingmo. The cub snuggled in her arms and slept soundly, then looked for a kiss from her as soon as it woke up. Netizens: [!!!! I want to transmigrate into her body!] Coming soon "Live-Streaming as the Beast Whisperer on the African Savanna" The second before Xu Luoying was rushing around the emergency department, too busy to catch her breath, the next she was transmigrated to the African savanna. The System demanded that she livestream eight hours a day for a year, in exchange for a payout of eight million yuan. "..." What was wrong with a bustling human city? Why had she ended up on the African savanna, probably the most primitive place on Earth? All she’d done was complain a little about work pressure!!! And honestly!! Eight million wasn’t much! She could sell her parents’, grandparents’, and maternal grandparents’ houses and get eight million! The System provided all the equipment. Xu Luoying took a phone and a power bank and started livestreaming. Eight hours was such a long time, and it was too hot during the day, so she decided to stream only at night, even though the African savanna was most dangerous at night. Fortunately, the System promised to provide whatever she asked for. Xu Luoying was chased by a pregnant lioness. Comments: [Does the streamer have any chance of surviving?] To escape, Xu Luoying asked the System for ten kilograms of fresh beef to give the lioness a little snack. She was chased by the hyena queen and a whole pack of hyenas, so Xu Luoying asked the System for a hundred kilograms of fresh mutton to give them a little snack. Comments: [The budget is exploding.] As time went by, the lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs on the savanna all looked at Xu Luoying with hungry eyes. A lioness Xu Luoying had fed gave birth to four cubs, and they ran into Xu Luoying’s arms, begging to be cuddled. Xu Luoying asked the System for a grooming brush to brush the cubs. Comments: [Where do I apply for this job?] The System broadcast Xu Luoying’s livestream across video platforms around the world. Everyone on Earth agreed that the young Chinese woman behind the camera was the only true big shot combining animal protection with wilderness survival. When the year was up, Xu Luoying received 800 million yuan from the System, along with a handsome man. Xu Luoying: "!!! Can I weakly ask if you gave me too much?" System: [I underestimated the Host’s abilities. This is the final revenue from your global video account. All the food and drinks you got were actually sponsored deals arranged by this System.] Xu Luoying: "...Then what about him! Was he a sponsored deal too??!" "A Workhorse Binds to a Free-Order System" After graduating from university, Zhou Wanyuan found an e-commerce job paying 4,500 yuan a month, with only one day off a week and work hours from nine to six. She saved three months’ wages and gritted her teeth to buy a tablet for 3,000 yuan. On the very first day, she dropped it and broke it. Since she couldn’t return or exchange it through no fault of her own, Zhou Wanyuan sat on the floor and cried for thirty minutes. Her tears fell on the tablet and activated the free-order System. Free-Order System 71: [Congratulations, Host, you are now bound to the Daily Free-Order System. Enjoy the experience.] Zhou Wanyuan was skeptical about the System that had suddenly appeared. Afraid to ask for too much, her first free order was a 4.5-yuan bike-share ride. A new intern at the company rode a shared bike to work on her first day. After becoming a full-time employee, she started driving a Bentley. She took a client out and filled up the car with 50 yuan’s worth of gas right in front of them. Zhou Wanyuan: "..." Sorry, I’ve already used today’s free order. The new intern at the company rented a place in a distant suburb. On a business trip, she upgraded herself to the presidential suite. When she checked out, she took everything that wasn’t nailed down. Zhou Wanyuan: "..." Sorry, what goes around comes around. If I don’t get my money’s worth, I can’t sleep at night. The company’s new heiress and CEO reformed the business until it went bankrupt and couldn’t pay its rent. When she asked the landlord for an extension, she ran into the intern who had just become a full-time employee. Zhou Wanyuan: "..." I’m so embarrassed. It’s rare to see a clueless heiress reform a company in accordance with labor laws. * The first time Zhou Wanyuan saw the impossibly handsome Xie Si, the System showed that he was eligible for a free order too. Overcome by desire, she got so excited that her tongue tied up when she tried to say his name, and it came out as, "Xie Si... Si." Xie Si: She loves me. Completed novel on the author’s page: "The Top-Tier Star’s Mom Is Easygoing and Sardonic" Blurb: Yan Danyue had always been a well-known slacker at the Book Transmigration Bureau. She never followed the plot of the books she transmigrated into, preferring to slack off whenever and wherever she pleased. As luck would have it, her role in this book was a rich man’s wife and the mother of a top-tier star. With conditions this perfect for slacking off, Yan Danyue was grateful even to the Bureau’s utterly vile director. Her biological son, Lu Tinghan, was the top-tier star who served as this book’s foil. He was the most miserable cannon fodder in the story, constantly stirring up trouble and using his birth family to provoke the male lead. From the time he debuted, he was always pitted against the male lead, Ji Congnan. In the end, the male lead had him shipped off to Siberia to dig potatoes. Ji Congnan debuted at seventeen. He was the leader of a top-tier boy band, ranked first in the group for professional skills, and had won countless awards. He had a wide range of interests and was an all-around talent. He treated his fans well, giving them gifts whenever he appeared at the airport and patiently answering their letters. When choosing acting roles, he picked second male leads who fit his image or male leads in romance dramas. Lu Tinghan had entered the industry halfway through life. He’d made it through the audition show on luck alone, and his slacker persona had taken root in the hearts of his fans. Those who liked him loved him to death; those who hated him wished he’d disappear from the entertainment industry, especially the contestants who hadn’t debuted that year. His stage presence was lifeless, and he made a point of being unconventional. He could write music, but every time he released a song, he shocked the entertainment world with lyrics that stung in every line. When acting, he refused every role except traditional wuxia villains. Everyone in the entertainment industry treated the two of them as rivals. Ji Congnan’s fans also inexplicably held a grudge against Yan Danyue. After Yan Danyue transmigrated into the book, she had no plans to get involved in Lu Tinghan’s affairs. Later, Lu Tinghan’s slacker persona seemed so genuine that Yan Danyue reluctantly became a fan of him as his mother. People in the entertainment industry noticed that Lu Tinghan seemed to be dating someone, and that person was one of his own fans. Apparently, even their clothes had been exposed as something they shared. Everyone thought Lu Tinghan was finally going to fall from grace and celebrated for seven days straight. Lu Tinghan: @Yan Danyue, she’s my mom. Ji Congnan: @Yan Danyue, she’s my mom. Lu Tinghan’s fans: "?????" Ji Congnan’s fans: "?????" Lu Tinghan even tagged Ji Congnan: What’s wrong with you? Are you sick? Yan Danyue was sitting in the back garden of her riverside villa, drinking tea, when she choked. She calmly said that she really did have two ex-husbands, and that she was keeping things as fair as possible between the two of them.
