Cheng Nanjia opened her eyes to find herself the vicious female side character in a household-intrigue novel, doomed not to survive past chapter three. She was supposed to slap her half-sister with one hand and set traps for the villain with the other, before ending up a disposable extra, mutilated into a human stump!
Looking at her half-sister, who would one day turn evil and become a living demon, and the unhinged villain her own mother had kicked out of the house, Cheng Nanjia tore up the script. “Whoever wants to be the villain can have the job. I'm going to take up farming!”
With hybrid rice in one hand and golden melon seeds in the other, she even fed her half-sister, who was so thin she looked like a bean sprout. “Beige, eat some meat!”
She handed ointment to the sinister villain. “Zhao Yi, put this on!”
She shielded her doomed mother from a knife. “Mother, run!”
Later...
Her now-evil half-sister held a dagger to her neck. “Sister, what trick are you trying to pull this time?”
The unhinged villain cornered her against the wall. “Cheng Nanjia, who are you really?”
Even the Crown Prince joined in. “Miss Cheng, my Eastern Palace is in need of a Crown Princess who knows how to farm...”
Clutching a freshly picked golden melon, Cheng Nanjia trembled. She had planned to farm quietly and stay alive. How had she ended up becoming everyone's favorite?
