After I Turned In the Cosmic Superstar System

Blurb

Yan Qing is a struggling actress on her 10,086th attempt at a career. Just before she was about to go home and farm, she got bound to a system.

System: [Want to become a superstar across the universe?]

Yan Qing: Yes!

System: [Want to make it big in film, television, and music?]

Yan Qing: Absolutely!

System: [Want to reach the pinnacle of life?]

Yan Qing, excited: Sure, sure!

System: [Due to insufficient system energy, the Host must raise the funds to shoot a debut project!]

Yan Qing: ...

Yan Qing smiled faintly and turned herself and the system in to the authorities.

Sorry, she's genuinely broke.

The entertainment industry of the Interstellar Empire had always been calm and dull. Actors tried every trick in the book to get famous, with one publicity stunt after another.

But at some point, the actress Yan Qing, who always funded her own projects, began to overturn everyone's expectations...

She starred in Three Kingdoms: Turmoil, a historical epic about warfare and political schemes in an era of cold weapons, where every character seemed to have 800 schemes up their sleeve. Audiences watched in a frenzy and cried out that they were useless by comparison.

Then she turned around and signed on as the spokesperson for an interstellar agricultural company's fertilizer, with high-yield seeds thrown in as a bonus.

The audience: "..."

She starred in The Way Out of the Mountains, a poverty-relief drama that made people cry even without emotional scenes. The audience watched with tears in their eyes.

Then she immediately became the spokesperson for a traditional interstellar brand's temperature-controlled thermal underwear. On screen, she wore a base layer and looked completely content.

The audience: "..."

She starred in The Palace, a jaw-dropping drama about harem intrigue, breaking hearts, and renouncing love. The audience couldn't get enough.

Then she promptly became the spokesperson for an essential home medical device for the middle-aged and elderly, the kind even a fool could operate.

The audience: "..."

She sang distinctive music, sometimes graceful and refined with harmonious melodies, sometimes lilting, fresh, and unconventional. She performed elegant classical dances, and audiences were dazzled.

But without hesitation, she signed on as the spokesperson for an established agricultural machinery company, promoting agricultural drones. She even sat on an interstellar planting machine herself, grinning broadly.

The audience: "..."

You couldn't say the dramas and endorsements had nothing to do with each other, but they were about as far apart as north and south...

Even so, Yan Qing and her dramas gradually became famous throughout the Interstellar Empire, turning her into a hugely popular star.

Some naive interstellar citizens even planned to establish a new kind of country based on what they had seen in Yan Qing's dramas...

Yan Qing had originally thought that after she turned herself in to the state, all she could offer the country was the advanced medicines rewarded by the system. But when she learned that the money she earned in the interstellar world could be used to buy interstellar goods online, everyone's eyes lit up...

The country gave its star everything a star should have, and even things a star didn't have.

"Just exporting culture can strengthen the country and enrich its people! Xiao Yan, let's make you a star, a huge star!"

Theme: Turn it all in, everything!
