Lu Lingyue stared at herself in the mirror, her crimson eyes, silver hair flowing like a waterfall, the petite figure of a little girl, and smooth, flawless skin. Though her figure was flat, it was... undeniably cute!

She looked down...

Lu Lingyue's face turned bright red.

Don't look! Don't look!

She dared not continue gazing.

With a flushed face, she awkwardly changed into the bubble-sleeve white dress that Lu Xiaoxue had handed her.

Lu Lingyue couldn't resist glancing at herself again in the fitting room mirror.

Wow!

This was too beautiful!

Her face still flushed, Lu Lingyue quickly spun around in front of the mirror, admiring herself.

The hem of the white dress fluttered in the air.

Lu Lingyue felt so adorable, it almost felt like a crime!

And at that moment, Lu Xiaoxue, who had just entered the room, saw everything.

Lu Lingyue hurriedly stood up straight, her face even redder. But as she did so, her balance faltered and she once again began to fall backward.

Oh no! There's a corner of a cabinet behind me!

It would definitely hurt if I hit it!

But now, Lu Xiaoxue surely wouldn't catch me. She knows that I'm her brother now.

Lu Lingyue thought to herself.

But just a second later, Lu Lingyue felt herself falling into a warm embrace.

"Are you okay?"

The voice was gentle, completely different from the usual cold tone Lu Xiaoxue used to say, "Get out!"

"I… I'm fine."

Lu Lingyue smelled the familiar jasmine fragrance from her sister again, unable to resist inhaling deeply.

As a college beauty, Lu Xiaoxue had beautiful eyes and flawless skin. Being so close, Lu Lingyue couldn't resist the allure and felt her cheeks flush even more.

"That's good. How does the dress fit?"

Lu Xiaoxue gently placed the small, short-legged Lu Lingyue on a nearby chair and asked.

"Mm, it fits well," Lu Lingyue mumbled, embarrassed.

Lu Xiaoxue watched Lu Lingyue shyly looking down at her feet, her blue eyes suddenly flashing with something deeper.

She lowered her gaze to Lu Lingyue's moist, cherry-red lips and a thought crossed her mind. She wanted to kiss her.

But in the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaoxue regained her composure.

Unfortunately, Lu Lingyue, still looking down, didn't notice the change in her expression.

Lu Xiaoxue proceeded to tie a side ponytail with a white lace headband for Lu Lingyue and finally let her go.

Once everything was done, Lu Lingyue was allowed to return to her room.

She flung herself onto her beloved bed as soon as she entered her room.

After shouting into her pillow for ten minutes, Lu Lingyue finally accepted the reality that she had turned into a girl.

But just as she was coming to terms with it, a cute yet irritating voice sounded in her ears.

"This princess has arrived! Everyone, move aside!"

Lu Lingyue looked left and right but couldn't spot any princess.

Then the voice shouted, "What are you staring at?! I'm your system!"

Lu Lingyue, who had seen plenty of system-based web novels, immediately understood what was going on.

"Alright, tell me. What kind of system are you?"

Lu Lingyue asked resignedly.

"I'm your super internet celebrity training system!"

The cute, annoying voice rang out again.

"This system is dedicated to turning its host into a superstar, taking them from an unknown nobody to a glamorous internet sensation, and leading them to the peak of their life!"

Lu Lingyue had considered becoming an internet celebrity before, but first, she didn't know what kind of persona to adopt, and second, as someone with severe social anxiety, she wanted to avoid interacting with people as much as possible.

So, her plan to become an internet celebrity had been abandoned.

But now, this system claimed it could turn her into a super celebrity?!

It was tempting, but just the thought of dealing with people made Lu Lingyue shudder.

"Your suggestion sounds great, but I refuse."

Lu Lingyue rejected the system decisively.

The system, seemingly caught off guard by her refusal, yelled in frustration, "What?! Do you have any idea what the peak of life is?! The peak of life!"

"I know, but I'm socially anxious and don't want to be an internet celebrity."

"You! You have to do it! Otherwise, I'll make your life miserable!"

The system shouted in a fit of rage.

"Well then, how miserable are we talking?"

"Hmph…"

The system suddenly sneered.

"You'll be pinned down by ten men, and it'll be the most miserable experience ever!"

Lu Lingyue shuddered.

"Alright, I'll do it."

"That's more like it! I don't have much time! Hurry up and decide what kind of internet celebrity you want to be. The next time I appear, I'll help you create a superstar plan!"

After saying this, the system disappeared into thin air.

Lu Lingyue tried calling out several times, but the so-called "princess" system didn't respond.

In one day, not only had Lu Lingyue turned into a girl, but she was also forced to become an internet celebrity, which had seriously unsettled her.

But there was no time to mourn the loss of her old self. Now, she had to figure out her future path.

"What kind of internet celebrity should I be?!"

Lu Lingyue yelled in frustration from under the covers.

Eventually, she nervously stood up from her bed and walked to the mirror in the bathroom.

She tried singing in front of the mirror.

"How about becoming a singer?"

Though her voice was cute, her pitch control was off.

Plus, singing meant interacting with crowds, and what if the system required her to hold a concert someday?!

So, she rejected the idea.

Lu Lingyue then tried twisting her little body, making a few dance moves from "Pure Land."

"How about being a dance influencer?"

Though she looked beautiful, dancing also meant interacting with people.

"Pass!"

After thinking for a while, Lu Lingyue couldn't figure out what she should do.

She sighed and glanced at her reflection, now a cute little girl.

"Lingyue, were you dancing just now?"

At some point, the door to the bathroom opened, and standing there was none other than her sister, Lu Xiaoxue—who usually didn't even spare her a glance!

Upon realizing that her earlier singing and dancing had been witnessed by Lu Xiaoxue, Lu Lingyue blushed furiously.

"W-W-What did you see?!"

Lu Xiaoxue raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms and bending down to look at the little girl in front of her. "Everything~"

Lu Lingyue was mortified and almost wanted to headbutt her.

...

"What type of internet celebrity? This is easy!"

After hearing about Lu Lingyue's dilemma, Lu Xiaoxue decisively came out of her room holding a set of clothes.

"Put this on and become a cosplayer!"

Lu Lingyue stared at the red lolita dress in front of her, her mouth slightly agape. "This... This isn't Klee's cosplay outfit, is it?!"
