Chapter 4: Live Stream: I Like Visiting Temple Fairs

Who exactly is Jin Li?

To netizens who only started following celebrities in the last three years, she is a woman who is perpetually "not found" in searches, someone fans have to painstakingly crop out of passersby's photos just to see, and someone who shamelessly hangs on the trending list every April 15th.

But to the group fans from three years ago, she is the "perfect group member"—a topic they could talk about endlessly for three days and three nights.

As it happens, the person here to handle the maintenance is a fan of the group "Pink Girls," and his ultimate bias is Jin Li.

He said excitedly, "Jin Li, that’s Jin Li! The number one sweetheart of the Greater China region. No other female celebrity can smile as sweetly as she does. Don't you think she looks just like a Barbie doll?"

The female host felt like his spit was about to fly onto her, so she quickly said, "I know, I’m asking if she’s very famous?"

The programmer said with a serious face, "Of course, household-name famous!"

"Then why hasn't she appeared in these past few years? I haven't really seen her," the host asked the soul-searching question.

The programmer sighed, "She’s in poor health. All us old fans know that Jin Li is a 'medicine jar.' The year she got popular, she was running around day and night across the country. Her complexion visibly worsened; even makeup couldn't cover it up."

"For us fans, as long as she hasn't officially retired, we can still hold onto a shred of hope, looking forward to the day she can stand on stage again."

He emphasized, "Don't let her cute appearance fool you; she’s very capable and professional."

A sense of admiration rose in the host's heart.

Five minutes later, the network connection was repaired, and even more netizens flooded in.

Jin Li reconnected to the livestream, and she was currently eating watermelon.

She smiled first, a small dimple appearing on one side of her cheek, and her smiling eyes crinkled up. Anyone who saw her would have to say she was adorable!

Jin Li raised her hand and waved, "Hello everyone!"

Her voice was sweet and crisp; the fans wished they could transform into the bite of melon in her mouth!

Jin Li said, "My manager and I just cut open a watermelon. It’s quite sweet. She told me the sweetest part is the core in the middle. What do you think? To me, as long as it’s not near the rind, the flesh is all pretty sweet."

"Oh right, during the break, my manager told me my expression was too cold and asked me to be more enthusiastic, not just sit there. Do you want me to greet you in another way?"

Comments scrolled by like a flowing river.

Sui Lingfang didn't look at the comments, but based on experience, she had a feeling this livestream was going well.

The old Jin Li was sweet, but her reactions were a bit slow, giving off a dazed, cute vibe.

This time, the Jin Li she felt was lively and full of energy.

However, the next second, Jin Li glanced at the comments, peeked at Sui Lingfang, and urged the host to ask questions.

Sui Lingfang felt something was off and pulled out her phone to enter the livestream.

[What kind of manager is this? Knowing our Jin-bao is in poor health, she still makes her waste energy greeting us!]

[Long time no see, Jin-bao has lost weight again and her face is pale. Is she eating well?]

[Don't force Jin-bao to do things she doesn't want to do. The fact that she can stay in the entertainment industry is already the greatest blessing!]

Sui Lingfang:???

She almost forgot, Jin Li's fans were truly an anomaly in the entertainment industry.

Fans usually have heavy filters for their idols, but the filters Jin Li's fans have for her are thicker than city walls and covered in countless layers of mosaic!

The host didn't dare ask Jin Li any questions that were too out of line. She abandoned her other set of "explosive" questions and honestly stuck to the original plan.

Host: "Are you still in contact with your former group members?"

Jin Li: "We talk on WeChat."

Host: "Is your relationship with them still good?"

Jin Li: "It's alright."

Host: "Do you talk about work with them?"

Jin Li smiled lightly: "Mostly they talk to me; I don't really have anything to talk about."

The host's heart skipped a beat, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Everyone knew Jin Li was in poor health, a sickly person—what kind of work could she have?

[The host really didn't need to be so heartless!]

[Cat Paw Live is so insincere. Next time, tell Jin-bao not to come to Cat Paw, go to Wangwang instead.]

[Unbelievable, is this the 'bootlicking the high and stepping on the low' tactic of the entertainment industry?]

The host glanced at the comments, tightened her smile, and asked the next question with a normal expression. After asking the final question, she felt instantly relieved.

"What do you like to do lately? Can you share it with your fans?"

Jin Li blinked, "I can! I've been enjoying visiting temple fairs and Taoist temples lately. Do you have any good recommendations?"

"Temple fairs?" The host gave a soft 'huh.' This kind of answer wasn't common.

It wasn't strange, just very down-to-earth.

Netizens scrambled to offer up nearby Taoist temples. The screen scrolled so fast that Jin Li couldn't even read the words.

The livestream ended smoothly.

Jin Li let out a long breath and slumped into her chair.

The original owner was used to facing the camera, but for her, it was the first time, and it was... strangely nerve-wracking.

Sui Lingfang stared at her nervously, clutching a tissue, her body poised as if she would rush over the moment Jin Li showed any sign of trouble.

Jin Li:...

She said with a laugh, "Fang-jie, I'm really fine."

Sui Lingfang wanted to relax, but her body wouldn't allow it, so she simply sat down next to Jin Li.

"Chat with me for a bit. Is there anything you want to share with me lately, or anything you want to do?"

Jin Li blurted out: "Can I have potato chips and cola?"

Sui Lingfang glared at her.

Jin Li gave a sheepish smile, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "Fang-jie, I feel like my health is much better. I want to try taking on some gigs. See if you can arrange some light work for me."

She could feel that after this body was infused with divine power, it was indeed much better, but there was still a gap compared to ordinary people.

She wouldn't take on too much; she should be able to adapt to one gig every three or four days.

Sui Lingfang raised an eyebrow, her expression brightening: "I've waited three years for these words. I'll pick some out carefully for you when I get back to the company."

She gave Jin Li a few more instructions and left, looking back every three steps.

Jin Li was left alone in the room.

She got up to wash her face in the bathroom, gathered her spirits, and went online to gather information.

Being kicked into the human world so suddenly, Jin Li didn't know what kind of tribulation she had to undergo or what she should do.

The people here seemed to like her quite a bit, so she might as well continue being a little celebrity.

Just muddling through one day at a time—that was how Jin Li had always lived in the Heavenly Realm, and she couldn't leave her old profession now.

However, when she woke up the next day, Jin Li felt terrible. She had actually come down with a high fever!

Dizziness, heart palpitations, and nausea—the symptoms were far more severe than when she had first transmigrated.

Jin Li dragged her heavy body to get dressed. She didn't choose to go to the hospital, but instead headed to the nearest Taoist temple.
