A Supporting Actress Gets Rich Through Livestreaming in the 1980s

1. He Jiao transmigrated into a story set in a bygone era, becoming the heroine's foil.

The village beauty was the heroine: clever and capable, she moved to the city and lived a wonderful life, eventually bringing good fortune to her husband and living a long life.

He Jiao, on the other hand, was cannon fodder, lazy and gluttonous, stuck in the countryside and living a miserable life, until she brought her husband bad luck and starved to death.

No problem. She had a livestreaming System. Although she had no idea who was watching, she could exchange her livestream earnings for all kinds of modern goods.

She made the most of the land around her, claimed the mountain as her own, livestreamed, raised chickens, ducks, and all kinds of little animals, and listened to village gossip along the way. Life couldn't be better.

2.

Then one day, she brought home a big white rabbit. The next morning, the rabbit in her bed had turned into a gorgeous man!

He claimed to be her husband, Xian Bai, whom she had supposedly killed through bad luck on their wedding day before they could even consummate the marriage.

System: [If the total number of viewers who have watched the livestream does not exceed one million within 100 days, the Host will randomly turn into an animal of any kind for 100 days, and Xian Bai will become the new Host for 100 days.]

He Jiao was alarmed. "Could any of the little animals in my yard actually be humans who've transformed?"

System: [Anything is possible. Please do your best with your livestream.]

From then on, although He Jiao had an assistant in Xian Bai, she saw him as a rival trying to steal her livestreaming livelihood. After all, if the livestream failed, Xian Bai would become the System's new Host, while she would turn into an animal.

The villagers gossiped about her again: "Look how harsh He Jiao is with Xian Bai. He helps her plow the fields, and she won't let him. She even pushes him around. I say she's still got the bad-luck-for-husbands curse. The village beauty is much better..."

To shake off the rumors that she brought bad luck to her husband, He Jiao teamed up with Xian Bai and pretended they were a married couple.

After that, the mood in the livestream changed. Viewers started shipping them nonstop, and a strange comment popped up: [How do you humans reproduce?]

System: [Please demonstrate for the livestream.]

"!" He Jiao snapped, "No lewd content! That's against the rules."

To her surprise, Xian Bai could see the comments too. "How about we just kiss?"

3.

Years later, the heroine, the village beauty, returned with two children. She discovered that He Jiao, the girl from the end of the village whom she had once looked down on most, not only lived in the biggest villa in the village and could afford a luxury car, but had also taken over the entire stretch of mountains spanning several nearby villages. Everyone in the village respected He Jiao... Even the dog in front of her house looked especially imposing, and seemed to have rolled its eyes at her.

Damn it, which one of us is actually the heroine?

PS:

1. The livestream viewers are all human. There are no monsters in this story. Everything that seems unreasonable will have a reasonable explanation later.

2. This story is entirely fictional. Both leads have only ever loved each other. The early part is tough, with a focus on everyday life and farming. Later, the golden finger becomes overpowered and they grow fabulously wealthy.

3. This isn't a traditional story set in a bygone era. It focuses more on livestreaming and includes supernatural elements.

4. The male lead appears in Chapter 17. The leads legally adopt an abandoned baby, but later end the adoption. They will have biological children of their own.

5. Chapters 7, 75, 78, 85, 110, and 171 have been split up. I felt bad deleting some bits that were too padded, so I moved them into the author's notes instead. You can skip the author's notes without affecting your enjoyment of the main story. If you're easily scared, I recommend not reading the author's note for Chapter 7.

6. The characters' opinions do not reflect the author's. The story contains many fictional elements. Historical material is based on information found online.
