1 Plane Crash

Bang—!

It was as if a pair of giant hands smashed Yu Xi's body into the hard glass.

Explosive breaking sounds, flying debris, burning heat—her ears were ringing, her mind buzzed...

A terrifying sense of dizziness swept over Yu Xi. She wanted to open her eyes; her eyelashes were ticking and sticky, as if she were heavily stuck in some viscous liquid, completely powerless.

It was hot. Searing hot.

Then she smelled blood.

The strong, overwhelming smell of blood, burning metal, cooked meat...

There are crushing pains everywhere in the body, from muscles to bones.

Every inch seemed to have been hit by a heavy stone, stiffly trembling at an uncontrollable frequency. The chest and lungs were like torn bellows.

The breathing is involuntary, all passive, and the instinct is to survive, and every breath brings in choking heat and the pain of weeping blood.

Yu Xi had never experienced such a real sense of near-death.

It was so real, as if her body was experiencing death.

Maybe... it is?

Then there was nothing.

There was no pain, no blood, no sensation.

Everything was silent until Yu Xi once again felt pain. It was all over her body.

Yu Xi frowned, and her brows furrowed slightly.

At least the pain that she was feeling right now was much more bearable.

But... where is she?

Why does her whole body hurt so much?

Should she not have been on the plane to the International Film Festival?

Ah, she finally remembered.

There was a deafening siren, her world turned red, and the sky was full of fire.

Her plane crashed.

Yu Xi wanted to laugh a little.

Did she somehow, with some great luck, survive?

Her chest rose and fell slowly.

Yu Xi then sighed secretly in her heart. She didn't expect that a superstar like her from the 24th century would die in a plane crash just like this.

Just as Yu Xi was lamenting her short-lived life, a mechanical sound interrupted her.

[3… 2… 1…]

This mechanical voice seemed to have come from her head.

[The Star Maker System is successfully bound to the Host.]

[The system is checking the Host's health.]

[The current life value of the Host is lower than the normal level. The Host urgently needs energy to supplement life.]

Yu Xi suddenly opened her eyes and was greeted with darkness.

It was a dark room, and there were no lights on.

After looking around with the little light coming from the gaps around doors and the light reflected onto the mirrors in the room, Yu Xi could see that the room was made up of a whole wall of mirrors, a wooden floor, and a horizontal bar for practice.

This room was very much like a dance studio.

As soon as Yu Xi raised her eyes, she saw her own appearance. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were disheveled. She was slumped on the ground, the action seemingly made in fear, panic, and alarm. But because the light was too dark, she was not able to see her facial features clearly.

All the muscles in her body were screaming in pain. Yu Xi twitched the corner of her mouth and gasped in pain.

Does she have a wound on one end of her lips?

And has she somehow, by some chance, gotten into another world? Otherwise, with the plane crash, her body would have been scorched or crushed into nothing.

The appearance of her original body must have been very unsightly by now, unlike this one, which was still looking in somewhat good condition despite the pain that Yu Xi was currently feeling from it.

Yu Xi: [What are you?]

Yu Xi questioned this so-called Star Maker System in her head.

[Hello, host. I am the Star Maker System assisting you in this star-making project. After the system testing and calculation, it was checked that the Host is a high-quality superstar and is a very suitable candidate for executing this mission.]

And what did the voice say again? Star Maker System?

So the mechanical voice speaking to her is a system…

So has she really transmigrated into another world? Reincarnated? Reborn?

One thing that she was sure of, though, was the fact that her soul had traveled into another body. A body that was not hers.

Yu Xi has not lacked for reading online novels with systems in them that take the so-called Host to another world. Therefore, Yu Xi was not very surprised by this system's existence.

But where there is a system, there will also be missions.

After a short pause, Yu Xi asked.

Yu Xi: [What mission?]

[To become a world-famous international superstar of the era.]

Before Yu Xi could react to the system, a headache-inducing alarm kept echoing in her head.

[Alert! Alert! The current life value of the Host is in a critical state.]
