[Airheaded, easygoing girl x gentle, dependable big bad wolf]

Hello, everyone. I'm a capybara. That's right, a capybara.

One day, I accidentally transmigrated into a book and learned that I was the villainess, forced to marry a disabled CEO in someone else's place. And from the start, I was sent to appear on a variety show.

Huh? Why did I transmigrate? No idea.

Why am I a replacement bride? No idea either.

Why was I sent on a variety show? Still no idea.

I just want to lie flat and live the life a capybara is meant to live.

It's just that the guests on the show are so clueless, and their cooking is so awful that I have no choice but to do it myself!

Watch and learn, you foolish two-legged creatures! This is no way to waste ingredients!

Ji Tun was the adopted daughter of the Ji family. Not long after they adopted her, the Jis unexpectedly had a biological daughter. The engagement that had originally been arranged between Ji Tun and the eldest son of the Rong family was transferred to their biological daughter, leaving Ji Tun a laughingstock among their social circle.

When the wedding drew near, the eldest son of the Rong family had an accident and became a vegetable. The Jis couldn't bear to marry off their own daughter, but they had no right to break the engagement. After weighing their options, they sent Ji Tun in her place.

The villainess demanded money and resources before agreeing to marry into the Rong family. The day after the wedding, she packed up and left to join a variety show, where her vicious nature was exposed and she was mocked across the internet. In the end, she died a horrible death.

The capybara spirit Ji Tun took her time reading through the original owner's memories, then slowly lay down, munching on a pear.

Oh.

As expected, when the show aired, the comments mocked Ji Tun across the internet.

"As expected of a fake heiress. She has no manners at all."

"Ji Tun actually ignored Senior Zhao. Who does she think she is?"

Ji Tun watched the comments and crunched on an apple, one bite at a time. "Oh."

During an activity where they earned money by doing farm work, Ji Tun calmly hoisted an ear of corn taller than she was and slowly carried it back.

"...Hey, sis, are you Popeye or something?"

Ji Tun had always stayed out of things and played invisible, but after tasting the guests' cooking, she finally couldn't sit still. She snatched the spatula and whipped up a whole table of dishes. The guests couldn't stop praising her cooking.

"Hahaha, my girl Tun: What is this? I can't eat a single bite."

"The only thing that's managed to break Tun-Tun so far is that they can't cook, hahaha."

"I'm dying. Sis Tun got mad and cooked up a full imperial banquet."

Public opinion started to turn in Ji Tun's favor. Netizens dug up the fact that she had been treated badly by the Ji family and forced to marry the Rong family's comatose eldest son in their daughter's place. They were furious and flooded the Ji family's official account.

Ji Tun became famous just by taking it easy. At some point, even her comatose husband woke up, and somehow she ended up at the top of the world.

Also known as "The Years a Capybara Spent Making It in Showbiz," "A Lazy Capybara Eats to Her Heart's Content," and "How Did I Become Famous? Turns Out This Is What You People Like."

Bonus Scene 1:

During an interview, a reporter asked about her marriage in someone else's place. Ji Tun chewed on a raw radish with a loud crunch, nodding absently as she ate.

"Miss Ji, you must be heartbroken, given what happened," the reporter said with sympathy.

Ji Tun finished the radish in a few bites, wiped her mouth, and craned her neck toward the backstage area. "No. I want another one."

Her manager was frantic. "Please, boss, stop eating. The interview is important!"

"Mm-hmm, okay. I want a white radish, not a red one. The red ones taste bad."

Manager: "..."

Reporter: "..."

Netizens: Who's acting out my mental state?

Bonus Scene 2:

One day, using the excuse that it would put his grandfather at ease, Rong Xu tricked her into registering their marriage first. He was in an excellent mood.

Ji Tun clutched the red marriage certificate, looking anxious. "If we're getting married under an agreement, what happens when we divorce?"

"I heard divorce is a hassle. There's a mandatory waiting period, and divorce agreements and splitting up the property, and people calling every day to talk you out of it."

Ji Tun scrunched up her face. "What a pain. How about we just don't get divorced?"

Rong Xu: "?"

Could he really get that lucky?

Note:

1. The main story is told in third person.

2. The male lead is comatose early on, but can hear what's going on around him. The tone is light and funny.

3. There isn't much variety-show content, and it's all made up. The setting goes wild, all in service of the romance. It's a romance-focused story.

4. Neither the original male lead nor the original female lead is villainized. They're both good people.

While studying abroad, the young master of the Gu family dated a gorgeous, talented girlfriend. She was just a little fiery and never indulged him. She dumped him three times.

The young Gu master was embarrassed and angry, but didn't dare say so. After finally finishing his studies and returning home, he gathered his group of friends to vent. They all chimed in, taking his side.

"She's just spoiled because you've doted on her. Dump her once yourself and teach her a lesson. Make her see where she stands."

The young Master Gu stammered, "Th-that doesn't seem right, does it?"

"What's wrong with it?" His friend clapped him on the shoulder. "Dump her once, and I guarantee she'll never pick a fight with you again. She really doesn't know what's good for her."

His friend was so drunk and carried away with his speech that he even dared to tug at the sleeve of the man sitting nearby. Everyone present broke into a cold sweat and hurried to pull him away.

"Lord Huo, tell us. Isn't she ungrateful? Shouldn't they break up?"

The man took a sip of his drink without changing expression. He watched the others scramble to drag the drunk away, then gave an inscrutable, cold laugh.

"She is ungrateful."

"They should break up."

-

Pumped up by what everyone had said, the young Master Gu finally found his confidence. During yet another argument, he broke up with her and even smashed a tea set.

Certain that he had this in the bag, he quietly waited for Fang Zhishi to come begging to make up.

But a day passed, then five days, a month, three months. Finally unable to take it anymore, the young Master Gu went to confront her, only to find the eldest son of the Huo family holding her close and affectionately calling her "Suisei."

The young Master Gu's eyes went wide. His hands trembled as he finally realized he'd fallen into Huo Run's trap.

But it was too late.

Fang Zhishi had already been stolen away by Huo Run, body and heart alike.

-

Bonus Scene:

According to people in the know, Huo Run had been waiting for Fang Zhishi to break up with her boyfriend. He had repeatedly pretended to casually ask whether their relationship was falling apart.

When Fang Zhishi heard this, she didn't believe it at first. "Would he really do something so sneaky?"

The insiders, who also happened to be Huo Run's friends, sat in a row and answered with utmost seriousness. "Sister Fang, believe us. We have no doubt that if you hadn't broken up, he'd have gone and become the other woman."

"After all, he once said: 'The one who isn't loved is the homewrecker.'"

* Move aside, I'll handle this. Can you even talk things through?

?

Note:

1. Huo Run x Fang Zhishi

2. The heroine has her reasons for dating him. The Gu guy is just a good son, that's all.

3. They both have clean romantic histories. Still a sweet little romance.

Theme: Stay strong inside and live freely.
