After Leaving the Industry, the Max-Level Expert Livestreams Farming

Shi Sheng once traveled through various planes, completing missions to stop villainous older brothers from turning evil. After finally completing every mission, she was at last free to live a happy life of her own. But then space-time shattered, and she fell into an entirely new plane.

The System said she had to collect one hundred million fan points to leave.

The original owner was also named Shi Sheng, an obscure, talentless pretty face ranked near the bottom of the entertainment industry.

Netizens: Checking in. Why hasn't the vase Shi gone so far down she's fallen through the earth yet?

Shi Sheng: Mm-hmm. I'm getting ready to quit the industry.

Netizens: Woohoo! This calls for a nationwide celebration!

In front of everyone's eyes, Shi Sheng boldly ripped off a scumbag man's mask, then decisively announced her retirement!

--"Because of the weather, this year's fruit and vegetable crops aren't growing as well as we'd hoped."

Shi Sheng immediately brought out her newly developed nutrient solution. The garden soon overflowed with produce, the crops growing beautifully, and Grandpa and Grandma smiled until their faces looked like chrysanthemums.

--"All the animals on this farm are ferocious beasts, Shengsheng. Be careful, don't get hurt."

The mighty tiger, fierce in front of everyone else, voluntarily flopped down and let her pet it, purring and whimpering.

Shi Sheng: Huh? They're obviously all adorable, cuddly little babies (^ω^)

Shengsheng: "I'm hungry. I want to cook."

"You? Cook? Have you forgotten how you nearly blew up someone's kitchen on a variety show?"

The next second, her haters were licking their screens, craving a taste: This is so unfair! Why am I seeing this in the middle of the night?!

She'd just said goodbye to the 996 grind, and her laid-back life had only just begun.

Shi Sheng discovered that the villainous older brothers from the other planes had also fallen into this world, appearing one after another in different identities!

A business tycoon was raising pigs, a foreign country's Grand Preceptor was chopping wood, and an esports champion was embroidering!

A combat mech that shook the ground with every step rang the villa's doorbell.

Even an internationally renowned movie star, winner of countless awards, suddenly showed up.

Netizens were stunned: You're her older brother too? Did you come here to freeload off her cooking too?!

--

Shi Sheng: Well, when I have nothing to do, I grow vegetables, feed the fish, tinker with mechs, pet the little ones, and earn a few fan points while building my career.

Netizens: Dream on! We won't contribute a single fan point, not one!

The next second--

Netizen A: Miss, please come back! What's the point of the entertainment industry without you? OTZ

Netizen B: Miss, notice me! I've turned from a hater into a fan. A die-hard fan, prprpr

System: [Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your mission is 99.99% complete.]

So much for that.

1. Shi Nian's novel Secret Crush became a huge hit on Jinjiang. When fans heard the screen adaptation rights had been sold, they went wild, and #SecretCrushAdaptation shot to the top of the trending list that day.

Entertainment Circle V: Meow meow meow, who do you all want to star in it?

Tens of thousands of comments, and nine out of ten tagged the same person.

Lu Siyan, a hugely popular idol with tens of millions of fans, who had won the Best Actor title at just twenty-four.

A famous director approached his agent. The drama was bound to have kissing scenes, but everyone in the industry knew that Lu, the Best Actor, never accepted variety shows or kissing scenes. Elegant and aloof, he was an unattainable flower on a mountain peak.

But after reading the script, Lu Siyan replied, his meaning unclear: "I can take it."

Agent: ?

Lu Siyan: "As long as she plays the female lead."

Agent: ???

2. Shi Nian, a romance author with over a million Weibo followers, was tricked by her uncle into taking part in a lifestyle variety show. To her surprise, she met the boy she'd loved when she was young: Lu Siyan, the man fans of Secret Crush had imagined as its male lead.

No one knew that he had also been the inspiration for the male lead in her book.

She could never forget the evening breeze that blew across campus on the day of her high school graduation, nor the boy in the corridor, bright and clear as moonlight, yet cool and distant.

She'd thrown all her courage into it, only to be left with an unrequited hope. Her high school crush had come to nothing.

This time, she hid her feelings well, keeping things polite and distant.

During a break after filming one day, Lu Siyan, wearing a bathrobe, knocked on her door and said coolly, "Want to talk?"

Shi Nian stumbled, and the two of them fell onto the sofa. The man glanced at the phone beside them and saw Shi Nian arguing with someone from her secret account. The other person was one of his haters. Lowering his voice, he asked, "And you still say you don't like me?"

Shi Nian pressed her lips together and tilted her head, then caught sight of the loose bathrobe revealing a tattoo over his heart: a single letter, "S."

As she stared, his voice sounded earnest and tender beside her ear: "This time, I'll be the one to pursue you."

The camera in the corner was still on, and the whole internet erupted.

[Bonus Scene]

Shi Nian had a habit of checking her writing dashboard every day. She noticed that the same reader sent a deep-water torpedo on Secret Crush every day, always in a batch of six. The reader's nickname was "L."

Later, when she brought it up, Mr. Lu, lying beside her, explained that the sixth day of the month was when they had become deskmates...

--You probably don't know how happy I felt when our eyes met.

Beloved national movie star x popular author

Noble and aloof x reserved and socially anxious

Basically, a story about

an idol who doesn't want his biggest fan to know who she is,

and a fan who doesn't know she's the object of his secret crush,

testing each other until their secret crush finally becomes mutual.

Theme: A life of striving is a happy life
