She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Jiang Lai posted the video in the middle of the night, unsure how much goodwill she would gain. However, in modern society, young people are generally night owls, so she figured she would get a lot of views. Jiang Lai checked the time on her phone; it was almost 3 a.m. If she didn't go to sleep soon, it would be dawn.

Jiang Lai shook her head. Her phone battery was almost dead, so she plugged it in, lay down on the bed, and prepared to sleep.

She doesn't have the money for skincare right now. If she stays up late again, what will become of her skin?

"I hope I can finish the mission when I wake up tomorrow." Jiang Lai couldn't sleep and chatted with 001 in a daze.

“I’ll let you know when it’s done,” 001 replied.

"Okay, goodnight!" Jiang Lai turned over, and the small bed beneath her began to protest under the strain.

"I'm moving out sooner or later! I'll get a bigger bed!" Jiang Lai vowed fiercely in her heart once again.

—At three in the morning, for many people, the nightlife is in full swing.

Lin Yinchuan had just finished his training for the day. The other team members had gone back to rest early, but he had stayed in the practice room until this late—as the captain, he had to do better than the others.

After confirming that he had mastered the dance, he leaned against the wall of the lounge to rest for a while. Lin Yinchuan opened a bottle of mineral water and drank several mouthfuls before he felt alive again.

He picked up his phone from the side and saw that it was already this late, time to go home and rest. There were messages in the notification bar. He clicked on them and saw that it was from Douyin (TikTok), with 99+ messages.

What happened? Lin Yinchuan was a little confused, so he opened Douyin (TikTok). The first thing he saw was a mention, followed by a flood of likes and comments from other people.

Could there be some juicy gossip? Is it about him or his team? He was a little curious and a little worried, so he clicked on it as he felt like it.

But to his relief, it wasn't a scandal; it was just a video of someone playing "Glory" with a ruler. The video was short, only a little over three minutes, but it still caught his attention. It was quite original, and the blogger even tagged him.

He clicked into the comments section.

—My mom asked me why I was kneeling and watching videos in the middle of the night!

——@fry Holy crap, awesome!

—Damn it! Lin Yinchuan is clearly my husband!

—Wow, this blogger is amazing! I've seen people use calculators, but I never imagined a ruler could be used to play music.

—Ahhhh, it's my husband's group's song!

—Can the blogger post other songs?

—Can you make a tutorial for this?

—I think the blogger is a stunning beauty! Her hands are so beautiful!

Will my husband be able to see this video?

"Husband?" A soft laugh escaped his lips, inexplicably alluring. Lin Yinchuan clicked on the blogger's homepage out of curiosity.

It's a newly registered account, with no likes or favorites. The only account it follows is itself, and it has only posted one video, which is playing "Glory" with a ruler.

The nickname and bio are normal, but the profile picture is inexplicably eye-catching, with a very appealing atmosphere.

For some reason, Lin Yinchuan suddenly became a little curious about this blogger, but that was all. He liked the video and then took his phone back to his dorm.

Meanwhile, online, Lin Yinchuan's likes were quickly noticed by fans, and more and more people came to the comments section of the video.

—I caught a husband! *kiss*

—Check out the video my husband liked.

—Wow, this blogger is awesome!

—Isn't this just riding the wave of popularity? Disgusting.

—Please, blogger, make a tutorial!

Some people liked the idea, some loved Lin Yinchuan because of him, and some thought it was just sensationalism. But regardless, the video did become a minor hit among its fan base.

After all, it was a video liked by their idol, so most of the fans were very respectful. They also liked the video and left their positive impressions, and some even followed Jiang Lai directly.

Overall, this is a good start. During the time Jiang Lai was asleep, her favorability rating slowly increased.

001 was monitoring the data in the background and noticed that Lin Yinchuan had also given her some favorability.

-

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone on Jiang Lai's face; she had forgotten to close the curtains last night.

She struggled for a moment, then let herself lie flat, burying her face in the blanket. The creaking of the electric fan sounded even more jarring at that moment.

Jiang Lai pounded the bed in frustration: "I've never been this miserable before!"

She threw off the covers, got dressed, grabbed her toiletries, and left the room.

This apartment has only two bathrooms: one for the master bedroom and one shared bathroom for the remaining rooms.

It was already 1:30 pm. Everyone else had gone out to work, which was convenient for Jiang Lai. She could use the bathroom and kitchen easily without worrying about bumping into others.

Jiang Lai went to the bathroom and, still half asleep, saw her reflection in the mirror. Startled, she immediately became much more awake.

"My God! I've never looked this ugly in my entire life!"

The girl in the mirror had a pale complexion, which was her only redeeming quality. Apart from that, her hair was dry and yellow, though not short, reaching about halfway down her back. Because she had stayed up all night the night before, her eyes were small and dull, and a little swollen. Her eyebrows and eyelashes were sparse, her nose was fleshy and flat, and her lips were thick but bloodless, covered with dead skin, making her look unhealthy.

Her figure... Jiang Lai looked down and saw that the body of an eighteen-year-old girl looked like that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old, but her height was quite good, a full 1.7 meters.

Jiang Lai is dissatisfied with her current body in every way. You see, in her previous life, Jiang Lai was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs! The only thing to be thankful for is that she has become younger, going from twenty-two to eighteen. Having been given a second chance at life, one should know how to be content.

To avoid hurting her eyes, Jiang Lai quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face. She didn't have any skincare products, and even her toothbrush was of poor quality. What use were skincare products anyway?

It has to be said that Jiang Lai had never seen anyone so poor.

But there was nothing they could do. The orphanage was already doing well enough to support the original owner through high school, and with so many children there, they could only guarantee the most basic necessities for survival; anything more was out of the question. The original owner understood this, so after reaching adulthood, she refused the orphanage's assistance and instead supported herself by working.

The original owner had always wanted to give back to the orphanage. Now that Jiang Lai had taken over her body, she would naturally fulfill her wish, but she didn't have the means to do so yet.

Jiang Lai went back to her bedroom, grabbed a piece of bread, unplugged her phone charger, and went into the Douyin (TikTok) app. Wow, she was surprised to find that the video already had over 50,000 likes and over 10,000 favorites, with the comments far exceeding her expectations.

She was trying to ride the wave of popularity, but she didn't expect it to be so successful?

Jiang Lai quickly found out the reason: Lin Yinchuan had liked her video!

"As expected, we still have to rely on freeloaders!" Jiang Lai sighed.

"Congratulations, host! The task of gaining 100 points of favorability has been completed. You can choose between the Cloud-like Hairstyle and a reward of 10,000 yuan!"

Jiang Lai became interested. "Misty hair and cloud-like tresses, I know what that means, but how did you give this reward?"

"The system will adjust the host's hair condition, making it black, thick, and smooth~"

"Very well, you must be doing an advertisement for a certain Rou. Look at my hair now, it's so dry and straw-like, if you suddenly make my hair black and thick enough to shoot an advertisement, won't people arrest me and study me?"

"Host, you don't need to worry about that! The system will blur other people's impressions of you, and any changes you make will go unnoticed. Of course, that's all."

"You're pretty impressive!" Jiang Lai touched her hair, somewhat eager to try, but held back, and continued to ask, "So, what about that ten thousand yuan?"

"This is the monetary reward. If the host chooses this option, then the host's account will have an extra 10,000 yuan. This 10,000 yuan is a system reward, but it will be deposited into the host's account under the name of a good Samaritan's donation."

Jiang Lai nodded and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be more monetary rewards later. Are you just going to keep distributing them under the guise of sponsorship?"

"I can make adjustments if the subsequent host needs them."

"You're quite intelligent. Won't this be detected by modern technology?"

"No way! The system is the most powerful!" 001 was dissatisfied with Jiang Lai's doubts about her.

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you're the best!"

001 let out a proud laugh in Jiang Lai's mind, and then said, "Yesterday, Lin Yinchuan even gave the host some favorability points! Would the host like to choose to win over Lin Yinchuan?"

"No no no!"

"However, if the host chooses to pursue ordinary people, the favorability of high-quality people will not be calculated together with that of ordinary people."

"Does that mean ordinary people are considered ordinary people, while high-achieving individuals don't count?"

"No, for example, if the host needs ten points of favorability, and an ordinary person contributes nine hundred points, which translates to nine points, then you're still one point short. But if a high-quality person contributes one point of favorability, it cannot be added to the favorability of the ordinary person. To complete the ten-point task, the host needs to gain one hundred more points of favorability from the ordinary person, or gain another nine points of favorability from the high-quality person."

"I understand, it's all about each person keeping their own accounts. Ordinary people's love may be shallow, but at least it's simple and quick." Jiang Lai really didn't want to do any planning.

“However, calculations show that gaining favor with high-quality individuals may be more valuable than with ordinary people,” 001 said.

"Is the goodwill from all high-quality individuals cumulative, or is it individual?"

"Um, this is separate. The maximum love value for same-sex and elders is 80, and for opposite-sex it is 100."

Jiang Lai was speechless: "I understand, same-sex friends and elders can be friends, while opposite-sex friends can be lovers, right?"

"What could be more effective at winning someone's favor than love?" 001 said coquettishly.

"Alright, if there's a suitable person, I'll choose to pursue them." There's no way around it; the promises the system makes are a little too tempting.
