Yokohama’s Most Popular Beauty Is Illiterate

Going premium on May 11, starting from Chapter 21. Please make sure you buy the right chapters!

[Literature in the story + filmmaking + fashion industry + career-focused + everyone’s favorite]

Literature had never been born, and the world remained desolate until its dying day.

That changed when the Literature Restoration System 616 arrived and grabbed a Host to fill a quota.

The System was ecstatic: This world is short on literature, and liberal arts graduates are struggling to find work in the other one. A perfect match!

Wait a second...

You’ve never read the classics?

That copy of Crime and Punishment on your desk is a photo prop?

You usually only watch those short dramas that are cheesy from the very first frame?

The last time you dealt with “your,” “you’re,” and “yore” was when you were organizing a fanfic anthology?

System: ...Let’s just get through the first three months. Once your internship is over, you’re fired.

Then one day, the System screamed: Host! How did our performance numbers explode?!

Cang Mu transmigrated to a barren, primitive new world.

She knew next to nothing about literature, but with her exceptional taste and sharp mind, she left her mark on the age.

She started a magazine and defined the era’s aesthetic peak.

She made films where every frame was a work of art, conquering the entire film industry.

She entered the fashion world, where a single garment could become a luxury icon, sought after at any price.

She focused on her career, never intending to attract anyone, yet admirers sprang up everywhere!

A proud, black-haired young man drew his sword for her, knelt on one knee, tapped her shoulder with the blade, and swore himself to her until death.

A hedonistic Norse god curbed his sharpness for her, kissed her fingertips, and let a smile fall upon a mortal for the first time, willingly awaiting her commands.

An information broker who thought himself a god had been undefeated for centuries, yet quietly laid a vast web of traps and fell for her with all his heart.

A refined, handsome white qilin stayed by her side and protected every moment she shone, even at the cost of his life.

An energetic, exuberant magician clown conjured fireworks across the sky for her and pursued her relentlessly.

There were too many admirers to count! Even she was astonished by the number of men vying for her attention.

“Seriously, isn’t this a little over capacity?”

The System was ecstatic: Come on, come on, pick up your number for love! Whoever posts three thousand words a day first, I’ll set them up with her!

The world had this to say about her:

[We must acknowledge that although Ms. Cang Mu knew little about literature, she made an immeasurable contribution to its flourishing. She transformed dull ceremonies into art, enabled those who had never read a book to appreciate its contents, freed literature’s appeal from the confines of books, and inspired more people to join the field.]

[Beauty. First and foremost, beauty. Above all, beauty. That was what mattered, and she achieved it all.]

[I am grateful to my dear friend Cang Mu. In this vulgar age, we need more artists like her to broaden the boundaries of ordinary people’s taste. That means more possibilities are coming to life.]

[As a woman, her very existence is an inspiration, the greatest kind of inspiration. Cang Mu was the first to walk that path. Before she could be excluded and slandered under the guise of propriety, her charm made everything happen naturally, as though it were perfectly proper and reasonable. What a clever and masterful approach.]

A preview of my upcoming story: [Natural Disasters] My Golden Finger Is a Cultivation RPG

Qiu Mu was an ordinary wage earner, scraping by each day to make ends meet. Life was dull and uneventful.

Then one day, the game she had always played became reality. A portable, self-contained world appeared out of nowhere, complete with cultivation methods and the ability to farm and raise animals, opening up a whole new range of possibilities.

But before she could fully understand this miraculous turn of events, she received earth-shattering news: she was an unnamed cannon-fodder character in a disaster-preparedness novel!

The heroine had been reborn and returned to sweep up supplies worth tens of billions, survive one disaster after another, and seize control of a base.

But Qiu Mu was a transparent background character without even a name. Her rare blood type happened to be compatible with the heroine’s, so she had already been added to a list. She was destined to be kept as a blood slave, forced to breed and give birth endlessly, and ultimately die on an operating table.

Without hesitation, she fled in the middle of the night.

She had no idea that although the world seemed peaceful, danger was already closing in.

She was no longer an expendable passerby. With her world-defying little realm, she would defy fate and proceed step by step before the disasters struck.

As the apocalypse arrived and mysteries came to light, she would rise from an unnamed nobody to become the most carefree powerhouse in a chaotic world.

Disasters include: a citywide water outage, earthquakes and tsunamis, typhoons and floods, volcanic eruptions, plagues, and more.

The heroine is disabled at first, but recovers later.

The blurb leans toward wish fulfillment, while the story itself is more slice-of-life. It focuses on living alone, farming, and cultivation, with no face-slapping or punishing villains. It’s mostly about a peaceful struggle to survive alongside little animals.

Theme: Love and beauty are the truly eternal creations.
