Synopsis
After switching bodies, Jiang Nan Shu becomes the villainous true daughter in a melodramatic tale and is bound to an all-encompassing revulsion system. If everyone's level of disgust for her reaches 100, she can return to her original world with a prize of ten billion. Being reckless is just one of her many skills. Starting with a disgust level of 89, Jiang Nan Shu sets a modest goal for herself: to live a life collecting easy money within six months. Unbeknownst to her, everyone can hear her inner thoughts! When facing the domineering CEO eldest brother, she says outwardly, "I think this project is excellent and will make a fortune." Inwardly she thinks, "I hope you don’t go bankrupt! Once you're out, I'll steal your company's secrets." When dealing with the indifferent medical second brother: outwardly, "The food at your colleagues' gathering looks so appetizing." Inwardly she thinks, "I'll switch tables when the second brother picks food, to avoid catching any diseases from him." When facing the sickly research third brother, she says outwardly, "Third brother, you're amazing to conduct such tough experiments, keep going." Inwardly she thinks, "I’ll gracefully exit before your experiment explodes." When interacting with the pop star fourth brother: outwardly, "These songs suit you so well, sing them all, and fame is just around the corner." Inwardly, "Just wait for the news to break about your tax evasion." When advising the love-struck fifth brother: outwardly, "She's taking an hour out of her busy schedule to be with you because she loves you." Inwardly, "You’ve been turned into a grassland of green; your goddess has a different companion morning, noon, and night. Bet you didn't see that coming!" As the male protagonist looks at her with increasingly deep eyes, saying, "Let's be together," Jiang Nan Shu weeps, saying, "Don't let your sister misunderstand, I'm not worthy!" Internally, "Money's hard to earn, crap's hard to swallow, the life of a supporting character matters too!" However... why does she end up as the darling of the whole group in the end?

Acts of the Apostles

The Acts of the Apostles, the second volume of Luke’s two-volume work, continues Luke’s presentation of biblical history, describing how the salvation promised to Israel in the Old Testament and accomplished by Jesus has now under the guidance of the holy Spirit been extended to the Gentiles. This was accomplished through the divinely chosen representatives (Acts 10:41) whom Jesus prepared during his historical ministry (Acts 1:21–22) and commissioned after his resurrection as witnesses to all that he taught (Acts 1:8; 10:37–43; Lk 24:48). Luke’s preoccupation with the Christian community as the Spirit-guided bearer of the word of salvation rules out of his book detailed histories of the activity of most of the preachers. Only the main lines of the roles of Peter and Paul serve Luke’s interest. Peter was the leading member of the Twelve (Acts 1:13, 15), a miracle worker like Jesus in the gospel (Acts 3:1–10; 5:1–11, 15; 9:32–35, 36–42), the object of divine care (Acts 5:17–21; 12:6–11), and the spokesman for the Christian community (Acts 2:14–36; 3:12–26; 4:8–12; 5:29–32; 10:34–43; 15:7–11), who, according to Luke, was largely responsible for the growth of the community in the early days (Acts 2:4; 4:4). Paul eventually joined the community at Antioch (Acts 11:25–26), which subsequently commissioned him and Barnabas to undertake the spread of the gospel to Asia Minor. This missionary venture generally failed to win the Jews of the diaspora to the gospel but enjoyed success among the Gentiles (Acts 13:14–14:27). Paul’s refusal to impose the Mosaic law upon his Gentile converts provoked very strong objection among the Jewish Christians of Jerusalem (Acts 15:1), but both Peter and James supported his position (Acts 15:6–21). Paul’s second and third missionary journeys (Acts 16:36–21:16) resulted in the same pattern of failure among the Jews generally but of some success among the Gentiles. Paul, like Peter, is presented as a miracle worker (Acts 14:8–18; 19:12; 20:7–12; 28:7–10) and the object of divine care (Acts 16:25–31). In Acts, Luke has provided a broad survey of the church’s development from the resurrection of Jesus to Paul’s first Roman imprisonment, the point at which the book ends. In telling this story, Luke describes the emergence of Christianity from its origins in Judaism to its position as a religion of worldwide status and appeal. Originally a Jewish Christian community in Jerusalem, the church was placed in circumstances impelling it to include within its membership people of other cultures: the Samaritans (Acts 8:4–25), at first an occasional Gentile (Acts 8:26–30; 10:1–48), and finally the Gentiles on principle (Acts 11:20–21). Fear on the part of the Jewish people that Christianity, particularly as preached to the Gentiles, threatened their own cultural heritage caused them to be suspicious of Paul’s gospel (Acts 13:42–45; 15:1–5; 28:17–24). The inability of Christian missionaries to allay this apprehension inevitably created a situation in which the gospel was preached more and more to the Gentiles. Toward the end of Paul’s career, the Christian communities, with the exception of those in Palestine itself (Acts 9:31), were mainly of Gentile membership. In tracing the emergence of Christianity from Judaism, Luke is insistent upon the prominence of Israel in the divine plan of salvation (see note on Acts 1:26; see also Acts 2:5–6; 3:13–15; 10:36; 13:16–41; 24:14–15) and that the extension of salvation to the Gentiles has been a part of the divine plan from the beginning (see Acts 15:13–18; 26:22–23). In the development of the church from a Jewish Christian origin in Jerusalem, with its roots in Jewish religious tradition, to a series of Christian communities among the Gentiles of the Roman empire, Luke perceives the action of God in history laying open the heart of all humanity to the divine message of salvation. His approach to the history of the church is motivated by his theological interests.

Well, in the NIV version of the Christmas story, we see a lot of key elements. Mary, a young virgin, was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus. The story emphasizes the divine intervention. When Jesus was born, it was a very humble setting. The wise men also play an important part. They saw a star that led them to Jesus. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This part shows how Jesus was not only for the Jews but also for the Gentiles, as the wise men were from afar. It's a story that has been passed down through generations and is central to the Christian faith.

An ordinary magician in the cultivation world

Mu Shiqi, who had no parents, was just an ordinary magic girl in the magic world. Although this magic girl was hunted by the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness after she picked up an ebony staff when she was 15 years old, and was ranked first on the wanted list of the black and white sides of the magic world three years later, but... Mu Shiqi had always believed that she was just an ordinary magical girl, and the pursuit was all Little Dough's fault. The ordinary ebony staff spirit ball expressed that it would not take the blame. It shook its head crazily and hid the suspicious blue bead that it had just pulled out from the corner of the Temple of Light. One man and one staff had stirred up the two major churches in the magic world. The Church Master of Light was so angry that he had to pull out his beard and the Church Master of Darkness had to turn white. Finally, he was blown up in an experiment of a new magic potion. The Church heaved a sigh of relief. The cultivation world had taken over this little witch. Let's see how a rising Phoenix Star would affect the structure of the cultivation world for ten thousand years! Crippled spirit root? It doesn't matter, I have the magic imprint; Sword control technique? I can fly on a broom; A formation genius? I'm sorry, where are you from? If you don't understand the Fanya language on the magic array, don't speak. Talisman Dao attainment? Although I didn't understand runes, I knew that every word in Fanya language contained magic power. I wondered if it could be used as runes. The above was the ebony staff spirit ball's vivid imitation of its owner's self-narration, and its owner, Mu Shiqi: I'm not, I'm not, I'm just an ordinary magical girl.
