That was when she learned the truth: her parents weren’t her real parents, and her five older brothers weren’t really her brothers. She was the Mu family’s fake heiress! Faced with a future where she was destined to lose everything, Shen Yue decided to get ahead… by lying down. If she was going to lose it all anyway, she might as well lie back and 127.7kReads9.6Score14.9kShelves

   It's so funny, while others are involved in variety shows and become bald, Shen Yue has already won a luxurious dinner by showing off! The program team asked her to choose a lucky person to have a feast with. She was just about to win over her second brother, but the whole audience suddenly started "humility literature" - "Grown men are not greedy for their appetites", "I can just eat salad", "My sister has a stomach problem and needs to eat"... Shen Yue:? I just want to cook quietly! This sister directly asked the program crew to change her name from "Classmate Shen" to "Sister Yueyue" with an article "On the Philosophical Significance of Acting Badly". She seemed to be forced to participate in the human pushing and pulling drama even though she had already staged her jump over the wall. While others were planning tasks, she was planning dinner; while others were scheming, she was silently calculating whether there would be enough for two plus a bowl of rice. When the Green Tea Sisters staged a scene about a serious stomach condition, Shen Yue's mind was probably filled with the following: "The food is getting cold, can you finish the show quickly?" In one sentence: These days, putting on a show requires a high IQ! Watch her use the laziest posture, make the prettiest meal, and be the most angry on the show - I recommend all career contestants to learn Shen's philosophy of lying down and winning! # Reverse involution ceiling# #It's really delicious to rely on your brain to do it#

   From the absurd world of "technology and hard work", we are reborn back to the innocent and complex 1970s. Ruan Xian found out that he died in his previous life due to the abandonment of his family and the absurd reason of "leaving the hall with the left foot first". After her rebirth, she took with her the memories of another world and saw through the truth of the so-called "family love". When her family once again forced her to replace her cousin in the countryside, she no longer remained silent. She cut her cousin's skirt and declared with her actions: "This time, I choose to fly everyone." Her inner monologue is a satire of two eras: "Goodbye, the world of 'six-winged chickens and borax in milk'! Welcome to this era without high-rise buildings but with thousands of lights and full of rough warmth!" This is a crazy story that uses absurdity to fight absurdity, and uses the clarity of "mental illness" to retaliate against "normal people". See how she disrupts a small family and then breaks into the big era. # Rebirth #chronology #sarcasm #realitymetaphor #female awakening
