New upcoming novel: His Villainous Mother Transmigrates Back. If you're interested, please add it to your collection! Thank you!

Here's the blurb:

Shen Shitang, a top-tier star and farming streamer, transmigrates into a book about the entertainment industry as the domineering male lead's ill-fated substitute for his first love.

Now the domineering male lead stands before her, aloof and noble. "Know your place and do your job as her substitute."

Shen Shitang: "Yes, you're certainly not worthy of someone as noble as me."

She kicks the trashy CEO to the curb, keeps her distance from the female lead, and swiftly announces her retirement from the entertainment industry. Then she heads into the mountains with her grandparents to live in seclusion and return to her old line of work: making videos about country life.

The haters immediately jump in: Shen Shitang is going into seclusion in the mountains? What a ridiculous idea. It's all publicity, just an act.

Later, Shen Shitang accidentally takes part in a streamer competition variety show.

While the other streamers do beauty, science, and mukbang content, Shen Shitang grabs a little hoe and joins the villagers in growing crops.

While the other streamers show off their cars, houses, and luxury watches, blinding their viewers, Shen Shitang drives her little charity food truck from village to village to cook meals for the elderly.

The viewers at first: Who would watch Shen Shitang make these rustic videos?

The viewers later: Can a thirty-year-old elder have a bite too?

While other streamers scheme against each other to grab traffic, Shen Shitang livestreams the sale of the villagers' farm produce, helping them escape poverty and build a better life.

The viewers, gradually losing their minds: Hurry and buy it! If you wait any longer, it'll be gone! Today, I'm going to spend wildly!

Shen Shitang, who refuses to play by the rules, dominates the trending topics and takes the internet by storm. The haters who once cursed her now cry in her livestream, begging for forgiveness and asking her to return to the entertainment industry. Offers of every kind come pouring down on Shen Shitang like snowflakes.

#I'm recommending our treasure, Sister Shen, to the whole world!#

#Only fifty more years until I can eat Sister Shen's cooking!#

Shen Shitang: No, no. I'm happy as I am.

But then she suddenly realizes she's become a top-tier star without even noticing, more popular than the Best Actress female lead, with over a hundred million followers!

Shen Shitang turns down a string of brand endorsements, films by renowned directors, variety show invitations, and all the other opportunities that countless people in the industry would envy. She keeps making her country-life videos, helping the villagers sell their farm produce and escape poverty, and even finds an exceptionally handsome but very strange man in the mountains.

Seeing how pitiful he is, she says reluctantly, "You can come get a meal from my charity food truck too."

Netizens: Pitiful? That's Jian Yanzhi, the CEO of the Jian Group, a family business with a century of history!

Meanwhile, the domineering CEO waits for Shen Shitang to come back on her own, watching her shine with success and bitterly regretting everything...

Here's my upcoming novel! Everyone, please check it out!

#Top-Tier Star Shen Yan Is About to Join Dear Family with His Great-Aunt and Their Family# The haters hear the news and spring into action.

His great-aunt? Who the hell brings an old lady onto a variety show these days? They'll do anything for traffic!

Isn't Shen Yan's bad temper because this old lady spoiled him?

Day One of the Show

The female lead's family appears in a simple, elegant, and loving manner. The viewers shower them with praise.

Then Shen Zhizhi and Shen's mother appear in matching Northern Zhou-style phoenix coronets and wedding robes, stunning everyone and stealing the show.

The two men of the Shen family follow behind, holding up their trains, hurrying to hold umbrellas and fetch water. They wait on the women hand and foot, as obedient as a pair of maids.

Netizens: This is the kind of wealth that falls from the heavens...

Netizens: Whose old lady looks like that? Beautiful big sister, look at me!

Day Two of the Show

The original female lead tries desperately to show off, deliberately creating the image of a perfect, warm, loving family and setting herself up as the flawless, kind-hearted girl.

At the Shen family's place, Shen Zhizhi and Shen's mother lie on the sofa, munching on melon seeds and watching dramas. The top-tier star, who usually ignores everyone, and his own father are busy mopping the floor, washing dishes, cooking, and doing laundry. Then they crouch beside Shen Zhizhi like puppies, begging for praise.

Shen Zhizhi: It's just okay. Try harder next time.

So the two men get back to work, grunting away as they earn money to support the family.

Netizens: Is this for real?

Day N of the Show

The original female lead can't keep up the act anymore. Her true nature comes out, her persona falls apart, and she suffers the backlash, ending up completely disgraced across the internet.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhizhi's position as head of the household remains rock-solid. The cool, arrogant top-tier star is tamed into a soft little lamb, and the chauvinistic CEO becomes a gentle, considerate househusband.

#A peek at the head of the household's status!#

The Shen family takes everyone by surprise, their reputation makes a complete turnaround, and they go viral across the internet. But when people see Shen Zhizhi's resume, their jaws drop even further.

Expert at the Huaguo Cultural Relics Research Center, first-class cultural relic restorer in Huaguo, specially invited guest of the Huaguo National Museum...

Netizens: I'm green with envy.

When Shen Zhizhi casually shows off a whole walk-in wardrobe full of luxurious phoenix coronets older than their ancestors, the netizens turn into sour lemons.

#Great Ancestor, are you still looking for a granddaughter?#

#Great Ancestor, I'm your long-lost biological granddaughter!#

Everything has gone well since Shen Zhizhi transmigrated, except that she only has two maids to wait on her, and she occasionally has to mooch a meal at the cultural relics bureau compound. But the more she looks at the bureau chief, the more she thinks he resembles her short-lived late husband.
