Song Jingwu was a villainous character in the novel The Green Tea Babe and Her Top Supporters, destined to be a live-streamer who bullied the female lead before being driven to suicide. After completing missions in various worlds, she was reborn back into her original world on the day she was kicked out of her adoptive parents' home. Now aware of her fictional existence, she decided to break free from the plot's control and change her fate. On her first day streaming under the name Looking at Flowers in the Fog, she encountered a mysterious viewer named Dragon Horse Spirit who promised to protect her during PK battles. Instead of competing against opponents, Dragon Horse Spirit would pay the other streamers to disconnect, ensuring Song Jingwu never lost. This bizarre strategy worked until she faced a group of top-tier streamers, where Dragon Horse Spirit gifted them Big Rockets to make them leave, allowing Song Jingwu to win without lifting a finger.
The core conflict arose when Song Jingwu challenged Zhang Shuishui, a deceptive streamer who pretended to be young but was actually thirty-eight years old. Zhang Shuishui's top supporter, Shi Yi Yun, had embezzled public funds to fuel his vanity through gifting. Song Jingwu exposed Zhang Shuishui's true age and appearance during a best-of-three PK battle with the punishment of removing makeup and beauty filters. While Zhang Shuishui relied on Shi Yi Yun's remaining embezzled money, Song Jingwu attracted a new mysterious big spender named 9999, who sent sixty Carnivals worth 180,000 yuan to secure victory. After losing, Zhang Shuishui was forced to reveal her aged appearance, causing Shi Yi Yun to abandon her in disgust.
However, Song Jingwu deliberately ignored 9999 and another top supporter, Ba Hun Dai Si Wa, despite their massive gifts, because they belonged to the female lead Song Wanwan's fanbase. This refusal to cling to wealthy patrons confused and angered the big spenders. 9999 created a new account named 333 and returned to shower Song Jingwu with gifts, reaching level 46 in a single night. Song Jingwu initially pretended to dissuade him from spending too much, then enthusiastically accepted his generosity once she realized he was single. Meanwhile, Song Wanwan noticed her top supporters defecting to Song Jingwu's stream and grew suspicious, unaware that Song Jingwu was the one stealing her fanbase.
Song Jingwu's background revealed she had a severe facial scar from a botched laser surgery intended to remove a birthmark, a plot device designed to highlight the female lead's beauty. Having traveled through numerous worlds, she possessed the skills to create effective scar removal cream. She rented a new apartment with a separate room for her laboratory and planned to heal her face within a month. During her streams, she demonstrated exceptional voice acting abilities, imitating the popular movie emperor Yin Yingdi, which attracted massive viewership and new fans. She also maintained a quirky personality, refusing to perform requested dances or show her face prematurely, and openly mocking arrogant viewers who threatened her.
The story direction shifted as Song Jingwu began building her own loyal fanbase and wealthy supporters independent of the novel's plot. She kicked out hostile viewers, including a level 75 Emperor User named Ao Banma who had created a side account to harass her. Her stream popularity surged into the top three on the platform, surpassing even Song Wanwan's established presence. Song Jingwu also sought revenge against Xu Baibai, a male streamer she had previously supported financially before he blocked her when she asked for a small loan. By establishing herself as an independent entity with her own resources and allies, Song Jingwu moved away from her predetermined tragic fate, setting the stage for further confrontations with the novel's original characters and the forces trying to maintain the plot's course.
