Jiang Mu is the Mountain God baby, a passerby C in a period-drama contrast story.
*After manifesting a physical body, the little Mountain God couldn't manage strenuous labor. The System sent her back to care for a lonely, helpless old woman. In return, all she had to do was check in and watch the drama every day to earn achievement points, which she could claim as lifespan points and give to someone she loved.
*Grandma fell ill, so Jiang Mu checked in at a catfight between the heroine, the supporting heroine, the hero, and the supporting hero, earning one lifespan point.
*The pig Grandma raised was hungry, and they couldn't afford pig bran, so it was close to starving to death. Jiang Mu checked in at the heroine's career advancement scene and earned one lifespan point.
*They had no sheltered vegetable patch to keep out the cold, and her magic power wasn't enough to stop the vegetables from freezing to death. Jiang Mu checked in at a scene of the heroine and hero showing off their love. She watched with enough sincerity and earned ten lifespan points...
*The little Mountain God grew up and gained the strength to work. Meanwhile, she was about to level up from passerby C into a cannon-fodder supporting heroine waiting to be face-slapped.
*Facing her assessment, Jiang Mu clutched the script and voluntarily left the hero and heroine's battleground, keeping her distance from the hero and the supporting hero. Watching the drama and enjoying the gossip was fine, but getting face-slapped was out of the question!
**Ye Gui was sixteen and Jiang Mu was eight when they met.
Jiang Mu was truly skinny. He had never seen a child so thin who loved watching a spectacle so much.
The winter north wind howled. She squeezed into the crowd in ragged cotton shoes with her toes poking out, watching the commotion. He was the cannon-fodder supporting male character whose scene had just ended after she watched him get face-slapped.
In the north wind, he called out to her: "Mumu, where's your grandma?"
"Grandma sick-sick, lying in bed. I have to... cure her."
Ye Gui sighed. "I'll take your grandma to the doctor."
From then on, there was no stopping him. He mended her clothes and bought her snacks, powdered milk, meat, and vegetables after work.
He bought her pretty dresses and skirts, pretty hair clips... and saved up a huge fortune for her. To give her a better life, he eventually became a prominent figure in this unfamiliar world.
As time passed, she leveled up to become the heroine and prepared to get together with the hero. He handed over the house keys and money as a wedding gift.
Jiang Mu took them and said disdainfully, "You're not sincere, Brother! These are all worldly possessions!"
Ye Gui lowered his head and watched her little hand gently trace circles on the card. Her disdainful tone pushed him deeper into the abyss time and again. His voice was hoarse with anger. "Mumu, what else do you want? Would my worthless life be enough?"
"Hmph, your worthless life..." Jiang Mu said with a soft laugh.
All the starlight in his eyes faded, leaving them as black as an abyss beneath the sea. The next second, however, the girl shoved him against the wall.
"Of course it's enough. Will you give it to me, Brother?"
He was utterly stunned. His blood seemed to boil, every cell in his body trembling wildly at her closeness. He had no idea when his Mumu had become so wicked.
As time passed, she kept wandering among all kinds of heroes and heroines, all the while waiting for him.
