The Exiled Legitimate Daughter Is Reborn and Forms a Group to Play Extras in the Modern World

In her previous life, Shen Qingqian watched as only twelve of the twenty-seven members of the Duke’s household reached their place of exile. Many had died along the way. After they settled in, hunger and cold claimed two more children. Before a year had passed, her father and several older brothers died one after another in mining accidents, after being conscripted into suicide squads, while shielding others from the whip, and for all sorts of other reasons. Then the Tartars invaded the pass and the Crown Prince was sacrificed. Her uncle and aunt betrayed her, the Crown Prince’s intended bride, and she too was seized as an offering. In the end, she died a gruesome death.

This time, Shen Qingqian is reborn just as the twenty-seven members of her family set out for exile. No one comes to see them off. The guards beat and berate them, they have no food, and her grandmother is clinging to her last breath.

To change the fate of her family, she makes a pact with a background-actor System that has inexplicably appeared in her mind.

What does being a background actor mean?

Oh, it means acting.

A miserable refugee? A destitute beggar? Does she even need to act? They’re already convicts in exile. Who couldn’t play a refugee or a beggar?

A lowly maid? A palace maid suffering hardship? Does she even need to act? Who doesn’t know the etiquette of an ancient household or imperial court?

A noble young lady? A spoiled, unruly miss? Does she even need to act? She can play herself to perfection!

A master embroiderer? An exceptional painter? Does she even need to act? Which member of the Shen family can’t do that?

“Anyone here know how to write in delicate hairpin script? We need someone!”

“I do!”

“Anyone here know how to paint landscapes? We need someone!”

“I do!”

“Anyone here know how to play the guzheng? We need someone!”

“I do!”

“Anyone here know how to fly? We need someone!”

“I do!”

“No, no! For my new series, she has to play the female lead!”

“She’s doing background work. When would she have time?!”

“Please, let him play the male lead in my next series!”

“He’s busy doing background work!”
