My NPCs Are All Real People from the Past

【This story is entirely fictional. It’s an amateur web novel, not documentary literature.】 【A fictional modern setting. Everything takes place in an imaginary world and has nothing to do with reality.】 Xin Yun woke up one day to find she’d inherited the family estate: A barren mountain and a dilapidated house. And a System that had dropped out of the sky, urging her every day to make money and turn the estate into a world-famous, top-tier tourist attraction. Xin Yun, a paycheck-to-paycheck office worker: “Who, me?” Xin Yun, a lazy fish who’d given up: “It’s just me. I can’t do all that.” The System, ever considerate: “I’ll unlock the hiring feature for you!” Xin Yun, on guard: “I can’t afford to pay anyone.” System: “Meals included, no accommodation. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., one day off a month, no insurance or housing fund. Salary: 200, to be deducted from your future earnings.” Xin Yun: “Per day?” System: “Per month!” Xin Yun: “...?” What, was she some kind of evil capitalist? And who would take a job like that, working themselves to the bone for nothing? Xin Yun again: “...” Apparently, plenty of people. Farmers arrived every day at the appointed hour to reclaim fields. Soldiers shed their armor and devoted themselves to building roads and landscaping. Girls with nimble fingers wove and embroidered keepsake artworks... Travelers from the other side of time arrived in waves. Xin Yun finally stopped slacking off and wanted nothing more than to give them better lives. - A new immersive tourist attraction had taken the internet by storm. Ever since it opened, its popularity had soared. Visitors could immerse themselves in the lives of people from the past, with everything from food and clothing to lodging and transportation taken care of. Not only could you experience the simple life of being neighbors with ordinary people from ancient times, you could watch an ancient army train and street performers put on a show. You could even take part in a royal court session or a scholars’ contest, and play mahjong with an imperial consort and a talented young lady! Comments from enthusiastic netizens: : Qin Shi Huang really does say, “Send me 50 and I’ll make you a general!” : So many tourists got crushed by Du Fu in poetry contests. They were competing with selections from Li Bai’s poems, hahaha. He’s totally in character! : Good lord, one look from Empress Lu and I wanted to fall to my knees. Your Majesty, I’m your real child! Liu Ying isn’t worth it! One top comment read: If you’ve got nothing to do, grab a handful of sunflower seeds and sit by the street. Even the beggars can chat with you all day. A solid five-star experience! Another comment added: The only downside was that the beggar I met that day might have been a Ming dynasty fan. I called Zhu Yuanzhang an idiot, and he argued with me for a whole hour. It was terrifying! Can some history buff who hates the Ming dynasty come debate him? Veteran cosplayer Mr. Zhu: Heh. :) One amusing story after another spread, and the attraction became an overnight sensation. Tickets were impossible to get. 【Reader’s Guide】 1.
