A serious illness took Jiang Xuejiu's life.
When she opened her eyes again, she discovered she'd been transported into a short drama she'd once watched, becoming the kind of hateful fake heiress found in stories about real and fake heiresses.
Worse still, by the time she arrived, she'd already done every terrible thing imaginable and become thoroughly despised. Now she was a low-level female streamer at a tiny company, barely earning enough to eat. She had no results to show for her work, and every day the male supporting characters who hated her cursed and mocked her. According to the plot, she'd soon be tricked by a scumbag, end up homeless and mentally ill, then get hit and killed by a truck.
The System that brought her there was utterly irresponsible. It coolly told her that if she earned one hundred billion, she could survive and change her fate.
Jiang Xuejiu could barely afford to eat, and she had no grand ambitions. All she wanted was to stay alive. Even if she only had two years, she would treasure every moment.
As someone at the very bottom of society, Jiang Xuejiu wasn't especially tough. She figured there was nothing she couldn't endure if it meant staying alive, so she reached out to the male supporting characters who hated her and told them she could apologize and make amends.
Of course, those men ignored her. They even thought she was putting on an act to gain sympathy. After all, the original character had been a scheming, wicked woman.
So they remained arrogant, looking down on her and trampling on every ounce of her dignity. Whenever they visited her livestream, it was only to watch her pitifully fail to earn a single cent.
But the more time they spent with her, the more those men realized Jiang Xuejiu had truly changed.
She was no longer a liar with schemes aplenty, willing to do anything to get what she wanted. Instead, she was simply a pretty, pitiful girl at the bottom of society who wanted to survive.
So they began to pity and sympathize with her, and showered her livestream with huge donations. At first, they did it to humiliate her, but later they did it just to win a little of her attention.
They started fighting behind her back, calling each other scheming bastards. Things got so bad that business partners fell out and brothers came to blows.
But Jiang Xuejiu knew nothing about it.
From beginning to end, all she wanted was to survive.
A self-indulgent wish-fulfillment story.
The female lead isn't very calculating. A pretty, honest, pitiful, sweet girl x all kinds of powerful big shots.
The big shots are roughly as follows: the gentlemanly heir to an old-money family x the rebellious, wicked younger brother who plays the male second lead x the powerful, paternalistic older brother x the arrogant, self-serving number-one male streamer in a boy band x the cold-hearted stepsibling from a nouveau riche family... That's the general idea for now, though it may change.
