Jiang Lan's endangered scenic area had once again been singled out for criticism by the Bureau of Culture and Tourism.
While working overtime late at night to revise her proposal, she suddenly became bound to a strange System:
[The Eternal Cultural Tourism Poverty Alleviation Plan]
The next morning, a young woman in Ming-style hanfu stood at the scenic area's ticket booth, looking timid.
"I am Wan Zhen'er. I heard you were hiring, so... I came to apply."
Jiang Lan: "...?"
Were even extras this competitive these days?
Then Wan Zhen'er vanished right before her eyes.
Then the scenic area's livestream shot to the top of the trending list with #HerSwordDanceIsSoCool.
Then...
Lü Zhi became hugely popular at the scenic area, and everyone asked her about getting promoted and earning a raise.
Then...
Xu Fu became a huge hit for fortune-telling at the scenic area.
Watching the revenue in her account skyrocket, Jiang Lan suddenly understood:
This wasn't a hiring drive. It was a chance for the ancestors to flourish in both ancient and modern times!
Later, a reporter interviewed the wildly popular "Past and Present Connected" cultural tourism complex.
"How did you come up with the idea of having scenic-area employees cosplay as historical figures?"
"It's called... innovative development of traditional culture?" Jiang Lan said with a nervous smile, wiping away sweat.

[Reading Guide]
Everyone is career-focused. No romance. Women join forces to make money, gain power, and trend online.
Historical figures and modern memes.
The System will drop hidden characters, though why are they all powerful women?!
Note: This version was inspired by another modern version of mine. I've changed the blurb several times, but the original idea had already taken shape and been recorded in early 2024.
Theme: Build a harmonious society where people coexist in peace.
