A Spoiled Heiress Livestreams Her Rich-Girl Joys to the Ancients

Next book: "After Becoming Intellectually Disabled, I Became the Beloved of a Wealthy Family"

*Written in third person, primarily set in the modern era.*

I was the adopted daughter of a lowly merchant family.

Merchants might have low status, but my family was incredibly wealthy, and I had a comfortable, happy childhood. I had pearls and fine silks, ate exquisite delicacies, and was so doted on by my parents and brothers that I could do no wrong.

Later, I fell in love with a handsome servant.

I gave him money to support his rebellion, and stayed by his side when he fell on hard times. At last, he became the new emperor, but to secure his position, he married one daughter of a powerful minister after another.

He promised me the very best. I asked him for pearls and fine silks, the exquisite delicacies I loved, but the people of the capital mocked me for being insatiable.

But all of these things... I already had them before.

The fickle emperor ultimately had my entire family executed, and all our property confiscated for the imperial treasury.

Heartbroken, I watched as nine suns aligned in the sky above the execution grounds, opening a path home for me.

The new emperor hurried over, trying to grab my skirt, but a bolt of heavenly lightning struck in front of him.

I vanished before his eyes without looking at him even once.

I remembered now. I wasn't from this era. I came from the modern 21st century, where technology was advanced, commerce was thriving, there was no tyranny or oppression, and everyone was equal and free. I had a family of my own there, too. My brother, parents, and grandmother all loved me dearly.

Thank goodness. Let everything that happened in ancient times be nothing but a nightmare.

Snow fell in June, the great river roared, and heavenly lightning split the imperial city.

An Yi disappeared before everyone's eyes. Five days later, a screen appeared in front of everyone.

The screen showed a completely different world, with towering skyscrapers and brilliant neon lights, steel machines speeding back and forth, and women working in every industry.

The An Yi they knew was there, picking and choosing in a luxury boutique, flirting with male models on the dance floor, showing off at a jewelry store, and making a scene in front of her wealthy fiance.

The Empress Dowager: "That lowly merchant's daughter will never change... I wish I had rubies, too."

The noblewomen of the capital: "Even now, she still likes such vulgar things... Ah, that dress is so sparkly."

The new emperor scours the land for rare treasures, trying to communicate with the livestream system and send them to her.

But...

An Yi, seeing a pile of jewelry mysteriously appear on her table again: "Housekeeper, this tacky gold and silver jewelry looks so old-fashioned. Hurry up and throw it all away."

Then she looks at the gemstone ring on her finger. "My fiance really has an eye for style."

The new emperor: !

Ever since a screen appeared in the sky, the everyday lives of the people of the Cheng Dynasty have changed beyond recognition.

At first, they found the livestream entertaining. They watched dramas with An Yi, followed along with her chaotic weight-loss workouts, and women learned skincare tips.

Later, inns spotted a business opportunity and opened resort hotels, while group parties and team-building events took off.

Later still, an enlightened ruler from a distant land issued a public call for an expert in "Western economics" to explain it, and the Vice Minister of Justice studied anatomy along with An Yi.

An Yi has no idea how her daily livestream is changing a distant dynasty, until one day, her ancient fans tell her that they have hidden a gift for her in an uninhabited wilderness...

Reader's Guide:

The story is set in a fictional world, and takes place mainly in the modern era, with more of the story set in modern times than in ancient times.

Watch a rich, beautiful woman show off her wealth on livestream and become everyone's favorite, while her former boyfriend from ancient times gets jealous and spirals into madness.

"After Becoming Intellectually Disabled, I Became the Beloved of a Wealthy Family"

A month after I transmigrate into a book, I discover that none of my family members are normal.

My mother is a beauty who kills, my father is an emperor from ancient times who's now obsessed with his career, and my older brother is an Immortal Venerable who follows the path of emotionlessness.

They're all schemers, and the only one whose character is written as intellectually disabled is me.

They stare at me, and I realize that you really can't hide the murderous look in your eyes.

Keep it together. As long as an intellectually disabled person is cute enough, there's no kingdom you can't win over.

After I put in a lot of effort, they all come around to me:

My assassin mother smiles so beautifully it's dazzling. "Be good and call me Mom, or I'll kill you."

My emperor father takes a special interest in me. "I'll take you back to be my princess. There's no betrayal in the world of the intellectually disabled."

My Immortal Venerable brother praises me to the skies. "You have no worldly attachments. Become my disciple and follow the path of emotionlessness."

For the next five years, I play my intellectually disabled role perfectly, and no one sees through my act.

That is, until my parents arrange a marriage for me.

My fiance is tall and handsome, but since I'm intellectually disabled, I can't control what he does, so I have no choice but to sabotage the engagement.

He lacks patience, is afraid of bugs, and hates ponds, so I cling to him all day, making him feed me meals, candy, and milk tea. I even catch butterflies and give them to him every day, then push him into a pond and get him all wet. When he looks at me in shock, I give him a sweet smile like a jar of sour plum sauce.

At last, the day he comes to break off the engagement arrives. I dress up like a pure white jasmine flower, ready to cry my eyes out,

but he tells my parents:

"I'm very happy with this engagement. To be honest, I have a feeding fetish. She even gives me little butterflies. I'm actually crying."

Then, amid my parents' delighted laughter, my fiance starts chasing me around the villa, trying to feed me.

One day, I overhear my fiance talking in secret with someone.

"Hmph. Let's see how long she keeps pretending to be intellectually disabled."

I turn to run, but he comes out the door and catches me red-handed.

His gaze is dark, and I'm in a panic.

I'm dying of embarrassment. When did he figure out my secret? This matters a lot, because once, when I had no other choice, I crawled around in front of him like a maggot...
