Gossiping in an Era Novel Where Everyone's the Protagonist

Ji Yujia falls into the water while watching the drama unfold and ends up inside a period novel, as the male lead's doomed ex-wife.

In the original story, Ji Yujia divorces because she cannot have children, then marries the male lead, Xu Yanchuan, who has adopted three orphans left behind by his comrades and is having trouble finding a wife.

After the wedding, however, Ji Yujia resents the male lead's cold, rigid nature and starts abusing the three children. The reborn female lead arranges for her crimes to be exposed. Once the male lead gets to the bottom of things, he sends Ji Yujia straight to prison.

Though the female lead fails to marry the male lead, she still latches onto a powerful man and lives a life of wealth and privilege.

And now, it happens to be the day of Ji Yujia's second wedding.

The three children are looking at her pitifully.

Ji Yujia's vision goes black.

If only she'd arrived a day earlier, she might have had a choice.

Isn't watching the drama enough? She doesn't want to get involved in the plot at all!

A voice suddenly rings in her mind: [Ding! The Drama-Watching System is now bound. Host, do your best to watch the drama and earn points to draw mystery prizes!]

Ji Yujia's eyes light up: Watching the drama comes with rewards?

She rubs her hands together, brimming with excitement.

[Ding! The widow next door, Li, has been caught cheating. Watch the scene to earn points!]

Ji Yujia peeks out from behind the wall and gets her fill of the spectacle.

When she turns around, the three adorable children beside her are staring at her in horror.

System: [Congratulations! You have earned 2 points. Keep it up!]

[Ding! The fake heiress from the Wen family, who grew up in a wealthy household, is back and arguing circles around everyone. Watch the scene to earn points!]

Ji Yujia tells the three children, "Stay home and eat your chicken drumsticks. I'm going to earn you some treats." Then she grabs her bag of sunflower seeds and dashes off, arriving just in time for the exciting scene.

System: [Congratulations! You have earned 5 points. Keep it up!]

Later, the drama she watches starts getting stranger and stranger.

[An apocalypse powerhouse from the Educated Youth Office is fighting a senior sister from a cultivation sect!]

[The reborn female lead is arguing with a princess from a fallen kingdom.]

[The accountant's little Dragon Proud Heaven is hunting in the mountains.]

[...]

This world has been turned into a sieve by transmigrators. Everyone is a protagonist!

And I'm just an ordinary bystander watching the drama. Whatever's going on in the world has nothing to do with me!

One person and one System are so absorbed in watching the drama that they can't stop.

The mystery prizes keep getting better, too, going from chicken drumsticks to a restaurant and then a factory. Only after the fact does Ji Yujia realize that she seems to have gotten rich without meaning to!
