I Use My Ancestors' Group Chat to Face-Slap the Rich on a Variety Show

Wang Qiaosi was the legendary real heiress. Her father didn't dote on her, her mother didn't love her, and they brought her back only to make her marry in place of the fake heiress.

To humiliate her, the fake heiress persuaded their parents to bring her along to the reality show The Making of a Tycoon.

The show featured the daughter of a movie emperor, an heir to a top Hong Kong tycoon family, an elite who had returned from overseas, a wealthy young man whose family owned an actual mine, and more...

Everyone had either an impressive background or a family with deep roots. They'd all received a fine upper-class upbringing. Only Wang Qiaosi, who came from the countryside, was crude and uncouth.

No one thought she could win or stand out among these favored children of heaven.

Except for the powerful ancestors in her group chat, who had been dead for many years.

At first:

Netizen 1: Who's this? I've never heard of her. She's so dark. Did some fake rich girl sneak onto the show?

Netizen 2: I heard she's our Yuyu's younger sister. They don't look alike at all. Don't try to ride on Yuyu's fame!!!

Later:

The production crew sent everyone abroad to make their way in the world and pursue business opportunities. To earn their starting capital, each contestant did their best.

The arrogant fake heiress: waiting tables at a restaurant

The movie emperor's daughter: busking with a guitar on the street

The heir to a top Hong Kong tycoon family: taking a job connected to money, as a cashier

The overseas-returned elite: painting portraits on the street

The wealthy young man whose family owned a mine: forced to haul bricks

As for Wang Qiaosi...

Following the advice of her powerful ancestors, she bought a lottery ticket and won the biggest prize in history.

Wang Qiaosi: Sorry, I'm going to lie flat.

Following her ancestors' advice, Wang Qiaosi kept winning in the most unexpected ways, leaving everyone else in the dust.

Countless netizens witnessed the awakening of a future tycoon with their own eyes.

Little scene 1:

When everyone on the show was stranded on an island because of a rainstorm and there were no tickets to buy, Wang Qiaosi came out of her room yawning.

One step, the rain stopped. Two steps, the sun shone brightly.

She picked up her phone and stared at the ticket she'd just bought in confusion. "Do you have to fight for tickets?"

The production crew: Questioning everything

Netizen 1 spamming the chat: Let me bask in your luck, let me bask in your luck, let me bask in your luck

Netizen 2 spamming the chat: Bless me so I can get into grad school

A powerful conglomerate heir whom even tech magnates and capitalists call "Dad" x an all-around talented, bold and levelheaded real heiress who wins by doing nothing

1. Fictional world, historical figures are fictional.

2. The author has limited knowledge, so the wealthy-family descriptions are exaggerated and simplistic.

Recommended upcoming novel: Bianjing's Everyday Life

When Chen Yuanniang was born, her father was demoted from assistant military instructor to a commoner. She went from a pampered official's daughter to a farm girl, spending her childhood cutting grass, herding cattle, and doing hard labor.

Even her arranged marriage went nowhere.

The family's grain jar was nearly empty. As her grandmother called her a good-for-nothing burden, Chen Yuanniang was sent up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. Fortunately, she had the sharpest eyes for miles around and always managed to gather the most.

Then fortune smiled on her, and she no longer had to dig for wild vegetables!

Her fiancé's family had sent someone to break off the engagement!!

Thick stacks of silver notes, countless trunks of compensation gifts, even her family's old ancestral home. This wasn't breaking off an engagement, it was the God of Wealth showing up to save them.

But it also aroused the whole village's envy, and people hoping to marry her for her money filled their doorstep.

Her grandmother looked at her pretty granddaughter, then at the young grandson old enough to begin his studies and pay tuition, and gritted her teeth before making a decision.

"We're moving! We're moving!"

The whole family promptly headed to Bianjing, settling into a small courtyard with a storefront facing the street, where they began a lively life among the common folk.

Little scene 1:

Her younger brother went to school, while her grandmother and mother kneaded dough in the shop to make steamed buns. As for Yuanniang...

She rolled up her sleeves and was about to help when her grandmother slapped her hand away without mercy. A rouge-red mark rose on her pale arm.

Her grandmother's sharp voice filled the room. "You foolish girl! What decent young lady bares her arms and legs? Do you want to find a husband or not? Does this family need you to earn those few pennies?"

Her gentle mother silently rubbed ointment into the bruise.

"Buy yourself a couple of bright new outfits." Her grandmother tossed down a heavy little coin purse, then continued crossly, "Finding a good husband is what matters."

Yuanniang smiled and didn't argue. She just stuffed the purse into her sleeve as quickly as she could and nodded like a squirrel.

Her little brother, fresh from school, put on a serious face. "Sister, don't worry. I'll study hard and pass the highest exams one day, earning you and Mother official titles. We won't need outsiders to bring honor to our family."

Little scene 2:

Since everyone in the family stood out too much, Yuanniang did as she was told and spent her days going out with the neighborhood girls to buy rouge and enjoy the sights, becoming a true native young lady of Kaifeng.

Chen Yuanniang soon set her sights on a handsome scholar from a well-off family. He often came to her family's shop to buy steamed buns, and his eyes always fixed on her, unable to look away. She pretended to be shy and occasionally tilted up her lovely face to ask him to teach her characters, until he fell head over heels.

After that, new gifts appeared in front of her family's door every day. Sometimes rouge, sometimes pastries, sometimes hairpins...

Their feelings grew deeper.

Until the scholar revealed his identity and said he would visit to ask for her hand and marry her properly. Chen Yuanniang froze as if struck by lightning.

Wasn't that the very family of the fiancé whose engagement she'd broken off...
