Chapter 193: The Female Simp in the Farming Variety Show (1)

Chapter 193: The Female Obsessive Fan in the Farming Variety Show (1)

"Ugh, so annoying. Tang Qing isn’t even a guest on this show, so why does she keep appearing in the shots?"

"Ugly and tacky, standing next to our Feng Xingzhou like some backwater hick every time..."

"Please, just stop staring at our Feng Xingzhou with those clingy eyes! It’s disgusting!"

...

Tang Qing, who had just regained consciousness, was suddenly flooded with these hateful comments in her mind, each word striking like a hammer.

It took her a while to shake it off and forcibly block out the intrusive voices.

"Another live stream?" Tang Qing asked the system.

"Haha, busted!" the system replied eagerly. "This time, it’s an outdoor live-streaming variety show. The main content involves inviting celebrities to experience rural life—farming, cooking, and all that..."

This kind of show wasn’t unfamiliar to Tang Qing.

What audiences loved most was seeing these seemingly high-and-mighty celebs covered in dirt and looking utterly disheveled.

Due to the hard work, the 24-hour live stream would also expose the true personalities of these idols.

"I’m not a guest on this show?" Tang Qing picked up on the key detail from the earlier barrage of voices and asked.

"No, you’re definitely not one of the female guests."

"You’re... the owner of this place," the system explained. "The variety show *Let’s Farm* rented your property. See? That field over there, the fish pond, and even that mountain... Tang Qing, it’s all yours."

Following the system’s guidance, Tang Qing’s eyes first landed on the sea of green.

The distant green hills, the nearby rice paddies—everything radiated countryside freshness...

"So, I’m a property owner."

System: "You could say that."

"But in the show, the comments are all calling you a country bumpkin."

"In this world, you’re obsessed with the show’s award-winning actor, Feng Xingzhou—his hopeless fangirl."

"Both on and off the show, you’ve repeatedly thrown yourself at him. Eventually, you tried to crawl into his bed at night, and his fans banded together to punish you, landing you in jail."

Tang Qing nodded. "Seems this hick’s got guts."

She raised her hand to inspect her current body. The fingers, though delicate and elegant-boned, were rough from years of farm work, the skin sandpaper-rough to the touch—utterly devoid of elegance.

The same went for her sun-baked face, marked by two patches of sunburnt blush from prolonged UV exposure.

Her short braids were neatly tied, but the heavy bangs stuck greasily to her cheeks, reeking like stale sweat—who knew how many days it had been since she last washed her hair?

Not to mention the oversized, frumpy clothes she wore, clearly bought for comfort rather than style, paired with a checkered apron for practicality.

The comments calling her a country bumpkin were putting it nicely.

"How’d the last world turn out?"

The system was taken aback, not expecting the Siren to take the initiative to ask about the small worlds she had cleared.

"Ultimately, you didn't end up with Bai Mufeng, and the Immortal Sect of Yunlan no longer exists," the system replied. "You completed two male leads and earned a total of 13 million Love Points."

"Decent."

Tang Qing went quiet, though a sudden flash of memory crossed her mind—Si Yin's last words: "Don't look back."

A glimpse of a figure sent a brief pang through her chest, but Tang Qing quickly regained her composure.

A new world had already begun, and she had a new identity now...

Keep moving forward. No looking back.

"Tang Qing, what are you thinking about?" Noticing her prolonged silence, the system prompted. "So, what’s your plan for this world?"

"Keep simping for Feng Xingzhou?"

Tang Qing answered, "No."

"Simps never get a happy ending... in the end, they’re left with nothing."

The system asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"

The village girl–looking woman suddenly smiled, her once-dull eyes suddenly lighting up. "Make them simp for me."

"The house is mine, the land is mine, the mountain is mine too..."

"They’re on my turf—so what?"

"Why should I suck up to them?"

The system had an epiphany. "Oh right, I almost forgot—you’re the local big shot in this show..."

"You’re the one calling the shots on their chores!"

Everyone had been so focused on Tang Qing’s relentless pursuit of Feng Xingzhou that they completely overlooked the fact that, in the show, how labor was distributed and workloads were assigned...

All up to Tang Qing.

Before, Tang Qing had placed herself in too lowly a position, always bending over backward to please them, making everyone forget that the show’s production was entirely reliant on her resources.

A new mindset—now it all clicks!

"Tang Qing, in this world, you need to conquer three male leads," the system said, its tone already tinged with excitement after hearing her plan. "Male Lead No. 1 is the award-winning actor Feng Xingzhou—reserved, taciturn, a cold, untouchable type. In all his years in the industry, there hasn’t been a single scandal."

"Male Lead No. 2 is Nan Gongjing, an infamous womanizer. He came to this remote mountain village to escape his ex-girlfriends..."

"Male Lead No. 3 is the famous nepo baby of the entertainment circle, Pei Chen. Probably because his family background and resources are solid, Pei Chen is mouthy. In the show, he’s always running his mouth at you."

"What’s the current Love Points standing?"

The system replied, "Feng Xingzhou and Nan Gongjing are both at 0. As for Pei Chen, he’s a bit better—he gave you 3 Love Points."

"Oh?" Given the earlier description of Pei Chen’s mouthy behavior, she had assumed his rating would be negative. Surprisingly, he was the only one with a positive score?

Guess the jerk’s got a soft side?

The system explained the origin of those 3 Love Points. "Guess it’s ’cause you’re the only decent cook around. He gave you 3 Love Points just for the food."

Sure enough, just as imagined.

The original female lead was nothing but a dutiful workhorse...

"Tang Qing, there's one more thing..."

The system then reported the current plot point, "Because you've overly involved yourself in the guests' tasks, it has drawn heavy backlash from viewers..."

"The production team is about to come and talk to you. They want you to be removed from the show."

Hearing this, Tang Qing showed no trace of nervousness. She calmly untied her apron and said, "Good... I was about to say the same."

The system was stunned: "Wait - you're giving up screen time?"

"That means no chance to interact with the male leads... How are you going to complete your mission then?"

The Siren smiled mysteriously, "As I said earlier, I want them to come chasing after me..."
