The Fussy Supporting Actress Wins by Doing Nothing in the 1970s [Pocket Dimension]

[My new novel, From the Start, I Was Kidnapped with the Female Lead of a Period Novel, is now out. Please add it to your library!]

----------Novel Blurb----------

Jiang Xu was reborn in the 1970s, and discovered she was the foil female character in a period novel.

The heroine was her cousin, Jiang Yue. Though Jiang Yue had lost her parents young, she was hardworking and capable, and possessed the special skill of "affinity," which easily won her people's favor and good fortune.

Although her childhood betrothed broke off their engagement, she soon married an even more outstanding soldier. He steadily rose through the ranks, while she enjoyed a smooth, happy life.

As for Jiang Xu, she was the heroine's complete opposite. In an era of food and clothing shortages, she was still spoiled and difficult, insisting on marrying into the county town. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong man and eventually had to leave the marriage with nothing before she could divorce the scumbag.

Along the way, her mother had an accident while traveling, her eldest brother encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains, and her second brother died young from overwork.

In short, her life was full of hardships, and she ended up alone.

Jiang Xu's rebirth wasn't for nothing. First, she learned Jiang Yue's secret: the "affinity" skill had always been sustained by the "dislike points" Jiang Xu accumulated when people disliked her. In other words, Jiang Yue's good fortune all her life depended on people hating Jiang Xu. Isn't that ridiculous?

Second, Jiang Xu discovered that the ant space she loved to play with had come back with her. She could raise chickens and grow trees inside it, and in an era of food and clothing shortages, she had endless resources.

Later, Jiang Yue realized that Jiang Xu was still as spoiled and difficult as ever, but for some reason, everyone loved her. Not only did her parents and brothers praise her, but people in every village for miles around did, too.

If even a spoiled brat was popular, had binding the "affinity" skill been completely pointless?

Qin Lian was famous across the provincial military district as an aloof, unattainable bachelor. The wives of officers competed to introduce him to women, and the star of the arts troupe pursued him for three years, but he remained unmoved.

Everyone in the district wondered what kind of celestial beauty could possibly catch Captain Qin's eye.

Who knew that after coming back from a short leave, Qin Lian would submit a marriage report?

His partner was a village girl from Hongxing Commune, supposedly an expert at raising chickens and farming, broad-shouldered, and especially good at fighting.

The whole district was stunned, wondering if Qin Lian had fallen under the spell of a fox spirit, the kind that shouldn't even exist after the founding of the country.

It wasn't until Qin Lian brought back a girl as beautiful as a fairy to join him that they understood.

The camp was in an uproar that day, and everyone cursed the people who had spread the rumors.

So what if she was a village girl? They wished a whole regiment of village girls like her would come their way.

Qin Lian sneered. "You wish."

The Princess Transmigrates to the 1970s and Plays Poor in Her Space

The Great Liang Dynasty had truly fallen.

The rebels were at the gates, and the city walls were about to be breached. The idle Prince Shen Shaoyuan and his daughter crouched in the treasury, trembling as they prepared to die for their country.

But the rebels didn't enter the treasury for a long time. Even the sounds of fighting gradually faded into silence.

At last, the father and daughter worked up the courage to open the treasury door.

A neighbor passed by with a hoe over his shoulder. "Old Seventh Shen, the sun's up. Time to get to work!"

The good news: They had transmigrated, survived, and kept the treasury.

But...

The bad news: Everything here was completely different from the Great Liang. Showing off their wealth would be pure suicide.

Shen Shaoyuan declared firmly, "We're poor. Our family is very poor!"

*

As a princess of the Great Liang, Shen Mo'er had been engaged before she transmigrated. Her potential matches included the son of a grand secretary, a general's youngest son, a new top graduate in the imperial examinations, and even the second prince of a neighboring country.

Shen Mo'er had only one requirement for a husband: He had to be handsome.

Unfortunately, just as those stacks of portraits arrived at the prince's estate, the rebels attacked.

After transmigrating, Shen Mo'er looked at the treasury behind her, then at the little landlord straining as he carried manure, and sighed deeply.

Fine. She'd change her requirements: First, handsome. Second, poor.

She soon found her target: Fu Mingze, the educated youth at the commune. He was fair and handsome, and always dressed in shabby clothes, so his family had to be poor.

Him!

When the situation grew dangerous, Fu Mingze's family arranged for him to go to the countryside. Before he left, his elders urged him earnestly: "The rest doesn't matter. Just make sure you act poor. If you meet someone suitable, you can marry and settle down in the countryside. Don't be too picky about the circumstances. Just make sure she's poor."

Fu Mingze looked at the girl in front of him. Her hair and clothes were a mess, but she was radiant all the same. Her family was also known as one of the poorest in the village.

Her!

Later...

Shen Mo'er spotted a courtyard house in the capital. "I want to buy this place. Money doesn't matter."

The door opened. Her husband, who was supposedly visiting his destitute father, stood beneath the osmanthus tree in a suit, his handsome face wearing a faintly impatient expression. "As if our family needs money. It's not for sale!"

They looked up and stared at each other.

Shen Mo'er: Poor? A destitute father? Sure, I believe you! But at least we don't have to pretend anymore.

Theme: Treat others with kindness.
