With a new golden finger, Ding Yun, after entering a new body, was more adept than ever at using her mental energy to repair the damage before sifting through memories.
The original host's life had been quite unhappy.
Nineteen years ago, Yu Man and Li Yang got married and gave birth to the original host. They initially named her Li Zhaodi. Afterward, Yu Man, Li Yang, and Li Yang's mother had a very unpleasant time because the first child born was a daughter.
Yu Man's mother came to help during the confinement period.
During that time, Yu Man finally saw clearly what kind of person she had married and what kind of family she had married into. Therefore, as soon as she was out of confinement, she demanded a divorce.
The ensuing conflict was quite ugly.
It was even a household name.
It was one of the few cases of divorce.
They eventually divorced smoothly, but neither of them wanted the child. Li Yang felt that a daughter at home could not continue the family line and would affect his future remarriage, so he naturally didn't want her. Yu Man also felt that taking a burden with her would be detrimental to her own remarriage.
However, in the end, Yu Man couldn't bring herself to abandon the child completely and reluctantly took her.
Then, after much persuasion, she left the child with her mother.
She left her own mother to raise the child.
Afterward, she went out to work and within two years found another husband who also valued sons over daughters but had considerable wealth. She then, as she had wished, gave birth to a pair of twin boys.
However, this was her version of the story.
The original host's maternal grandmother said that she was only acknowledged by the man and had a wedding ceremony with a marriage certificate after giving birth to two sons. If she hadn't had sons, they likely wouldn't have gotten married, and she might have been abandoned at any time.
Meanwhile, the original host's father, Li Yang, also found a new wife less than a year after the divorce.
He also immediately had a son.
The ultimate result of this situation was that they each went their separate ways, completely ignoring the original host. Or rather, since the original host could remember, she had basically never seen them. Li Yang never showed up and never provided a single cent of child support.
Yu Man would occasionally return once or twice every two to three years, and she always came alone, never bringing her husband or children. At the same time, she never paid a penny, let alone child support for the original host, not even her own mother's living expenses.
The original host was truly raised entirely by her maternal grandmother.
And at the age of three, her name was changed.
She was renamed Ding Yun, which was indeed a coincidence.
As for why she took the surname Ding, it was because the original host's maternal grandmother did not let her take her father's surname, nor her mother's surname, but her own.
Her maternal grandmother's surname was Ding, and her name was Xianglan.
Ding Xianglan was a renowned spiritual medium, specializing in helping people exorcise evil spirits and demons, sometimes calling back the souls of children, performing rites for those who died unjustly, and even helping people cast spells against others and dispel bad luck. Additionally, during festivals or ancestral ceremonies in the village, she would be invited to perform shamanic dances. Many people from other villages would also invite her.
In short, her business was diverse, and her income was quite good.
This meant that the original host, who had parents but seemed to have none, did not live in dire poverty. Her schooling was not delayed. The only trouble was that she was often nicknamed "Little Spirit Medium" by others.
Especially after the original host began to help her grandmother and even learned some shamanic dance techniques and spiritual medium skills from her, the nickname became almost solidified.
She became a truly deserving "Little Spirit Medium."
If it were just this, the original host's life wouldn't have been too bad. But the crucial point was that her grandmother died of vomiting blood the night after helping someone exorcise an evil spirit three days ago.
Before she died, she instructed the original host not to make a fuss.
To let the villagers handle the funeral arrangements.
At the same time, she drew a strange symbol on the original host with her blood, telling the original host to quickly take all the money at home, leave this place, go live in the capital, and never return.
Afterward, the original host's grandmother passed away.
But how could the original host bear to leave her grandmother's body in the house and leave by herself, without even arranging or attending the funeral? So, naturally, after crying profusely, she found the village elders and asked the villagers to help with the funeral arrangements.
However, she didn't intend to completely disregard her grandmother's words. She planned to follow her grandmother's advice and go to the capital after the funeral was over. Of course, besides this, she also wanted to quickly notify her mother to come back for the funeral. Since the body would be kept for seven days, there was enough time for her mother to come back. As long as she was willing to return, she could even make it back from abroad.
The first two days were uneventful.
But on the third night, the original host died in her sleep. There were no residual memories in her mind. Ding Yun only knew that the last moment before the original host lost consciousness, the lingering emotion was fear.
At the same time, there was a strong yin energy within her.
This directly caused the body, which had died less than an hour ago, to feel as if it had been dead for half a day. Ding Yun consumed a considerable amount of mental energy to remove the yin energy from her body and revitalize it, restoring its vitality.
Upon understanding this, Ding Yun guessed that this world was probably not as scientific as it seemed, or at least there were some strange demons and monsters that existed.
However, she had even eliminated gods and immortals, so why would she fear these things? She continued to close her eyes without a second thought, examining the golden finger she had randomly obtained this time.
Then she almost lost her composure.
Because the golden finger she had randomly drawn this time was called—
The Perfect Idol System.
It looked like a cultivation system, and this system seemed completely out of place with her current identity. Was it suitable for her, a spirit medium, to strive to become a perfect idol? Or was she supposed to enter the entertainment industry as a spirit medium?
Following the template of a heavenly master becoming popular in the entertainment industry.
Perhaps a spirit medium bravely venturing into the entertainment industry?
Or maybe the first spirit medium girl group idol in history?
But no matter what, the system had to be bound and tested. As for how she would specifically become a perfect idol later, she could only take it one step at a time.
So, the next second, Ding Yun bound the Perfect Idol System and carefully examined its specific functions.
And then she became even more troubled.
Because this thing was really complicated, much more so than any system she had used before.
As soon as the system was opened, there was a full page of Perfect Idol Rules, which included nine major categories, seventy-two subcategories, and three thousand seven hundred ninety-six detailed rules, with a total word count exceeding five hundred thousand, all standards for becoming a perfect idol.
It was similar to a service agreement that most people wouldn't read.
And it was checked by default.
After Ding Yun skipped the Perfect Idol Rules, what greeted her eyes first was a personal data panel, a rating panel, and next to it was the Perfect Idol Learning Area, the Fan Guidance Management Area, the Work Grade Testing and Scoring Area, and other nine major partitions.
Within these partitions, there were countless smaller partitions and branches.
It made Ding Yun wonder how this thing had passed the trial. Didn't anyone find it troublesome?
