Chapter 1


"Wake up, wake up, Lin Miaomiao is awake."

Miaomiao had just opened her eyes when she heard someone shouting beside her. The next moment, a group of people surrounded her. She looked blankly at the circles of heads above her head.

She went with her master to the Space-Time Bureau to complete the retirement procedures and prepared to go to her master's reward world to retire, but was suddenly surrounded by a white light and woke up here.

Has she arrived in the world where her master will live out her old age?

But where is the master?

A memory that did not belong to her suddenly popped into her mind. Miaomiao could not tell where she was for a moment. Her head was like a balloon that had inhaled too much air and she didn't know when it would burst. The voices of the people around her seemed to come from a distant time and space, and the whole world became magical.

"Miaomiao, what's wrong with you?"

Miaomiao had a splitting headache. She didn't have time to think too much. She just locked onto the person who was speaking and meowed, "Headache."

"Then lie down and rest. Don't get up." Zhao Shuya gently held down her hand as she tried to get up from the bed. She put one hand on her forehead to test her body temperature. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

She had a faint smile on her face, and her voice was as warm as hers. Miaomiao had no resistance to gentle and beautiful people, so she lay back obediently, subconsciously rubbing her palm with her forehead affectionately, and said coquettishly, "No more."

Wait, that's a human voice?

Miaomiao finally realized something was wrong.

"That's right, you are a human now." A male voice like an electric current suddenly sounded in Miaomiao's mind.

"Meow!"

Miaomiao got angry and kicked the quilt away. She retreated to the end of the bed and looked around with her hands in claw shape. "Who?"

System: "...I am the pit-filling system, and you are my host now."

Miaomiao was familiar with the system. She had often heard her master talk about it when they were doing tasks together.

"Why do I have a system? Where is my master? Where is she?" Miaomiao tried to communicate with the system using her spiritual sense.

"You are now a fake daughter in a novel about real and fake daughters. Your master is not in this world, but as long as you help me complete the control group task, I can help you find your master." The system briefly introduced, "When you entered the system space, I have already input the plot of the novel world and your character experience. Please recall it."

It turned out to be that strange memory.

Miaomiao tried to sort out the plot of the novel and the memories of the original owner in her mind:

This is a true or false Qianjin novel that was abandoned by the author.

In the novel, two babies who were born on the same day but had very different identities were swapped at birth due to the hospital's negligence. The last one became a little princess of a wealthy family who was raised with luxury , while the other became the daughter of a poor family who had to take care of the family and work during the winter and summer vacations.

On her 19th birthday, Lin Miaomiao made a high-profile debut as a singer. Bigwigs in the entertainment, film, television and music circles forwarded their congratulations. The unprecedented grand occasion allowed everyone to know the newcomer who suddenly appeared - although most people only remembered that she was a little princess with a bad singing voice.

In the same year, Xu Jiayan was discovered by an agent while working part-time and made her debut by shooting a fast food commercial.

After her debut, she won the Best Newcomer award for the first movie she starred in. However, because her company was small and she had no backing, she could only play the Nth female role or shoot some shoddy low-cost dramas as the heroine. After four years of struggling, she finally gained attention with the heroine in a costume drama. The urban drama aired this year made her directly promoted to a first-line actress. She is currently the most popular and powerful actress with high traffic.

With the support of big names in the entertainment industry, Lin Miaomiao played the leading role in the new movie of the famous director Li Hui less than three months after her debut. She was supported by a number of powerful actors and actresses, including the best actor and actress. Through this movie, she proved to everyone with her strength that she is a real vase.

However, even if she is just a vase, Lin Miaomiao's resources are still beyond the reach of everyone. In the past five years, no matter how bleak the box office was or how much she was criticized for her poor acting skills, she has always worked with first-tier directors and is an absolute heroine. Even this year, when she switched to TV dramas, she also took on the heroine of a big IP.

The two were born on the same day of the same month of the same year and debuted in the same year. One of them fell from being an enviable little princess with abundant resources to having to film a web drama, while the other finally gained attention with her strong ability. The two were inevitably compared, and their fans were destined to be incompatible.

However, at this moment, Lin's parents discovered that Xu Jiayan was their biological daughter.

Lin Miaomiao, who lost the protection of her parents and her status as a wealthy daughter, was unwilling to lose to her opponent. She held a grudge and kept buying press releases to maliciously vilify and attack Xu Jiayan. She also used her former identity to snatch Xu Jiayan's resources. When Lin's parents found out, they drove her out of the family.

Soon after, the two participated in the live broadcast variety show "Happy Farmer". On the first day of the show, they were arranged to go to the river to wash things together. Lin Miaomiao had evil intentions and pushed Xu Jiayan into the river in front of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room. As a result, the surrounding ground was too slippery and Lin Miaomiao herself fell into the river.

Xu Jiayan’s fans were angry, and the ordinary audience watching the live broadcast were also angry. In just a moment, Lin Miaomiao was scolded on the hot search list and the program team was asked to quit Lin Miaomiao.

Suddenly, the little princess who was once envied by everyone became a disgusting rat that everyone disliked.

She is now the fake rich girl, Lin Miaomiao.

"The conflict between you and Xu Jiayan has escalated to the point of a life-and-death struggle. Your current status is the perfect control group." The system patiently analyzed the current situation for Xiaomao. "As long as you continue to oppose her, the control group's tasks can be easily completed."

"Little cat, this is the fastest way for you to find your owner." The system said in a persuasive manner as it looked at the kitten in front of it, which had turned into a human form but was still squatting with her hands on the ground.

Miaomiao: “Meow~” Can I really find my master?

System: "Of course. Your master was once my colleague. The Space Bureau has her information. I can apply for the internal system to find the world she is in, but the prerequisite is that I can only leave this world after I finish this novel."

Miaomiao: "But I'm a cat, I don't know how to do tasks, meow~"

System: "This is easy. You just need to keep an eye on Xu Jiayan and do the opposite of what she does."

Miaomiao: "The opposite? Miaomiao doesn't understand what the opposite means~"

System: "Whatever Xu Jiayan does, you don't do."

Miaomiao: “Meow~”

System: "And the final plot of this novel world just stops at the point where Lin Miaomiao and Xu Jiayan fall into the water and die. My task is to complete the subsequent plot. In other words, the subsequent ending of this story is determined by me. After binding the task, you only need to do what I say to complete the task 100%."

Miaomiao: "I'll think about it again, meow~"

System: "If you don't complete the binding within the specified time after the mission starts, I will erase your memory of coming here and send you back to your original place. You still have half an hour to take the test..."

"I am willing to do the task, meow!" Miaomiao called anxiously.

She had followed her master to complete so many missions and knew that once bound to a world, she could not exit. If her master had already bound to that reward world, even if she was sent back to the original place, there would no longer be a master there.

"Okay, press your fingerprint here and we'll be officially bound." The system sent the agreement to Xiao Miao and stared at her as she signed the agreement. "In order to successfully complete the task, I will restrict some of your behavior habits."

Miaomiao was at a loss: “Meow?” What restrictions?

"Some of your animal habits are too easy to reveal. I will limit them."

The system glanced at Lin Miaomiao, who was still furious in reality, and clicked on the world setting function of the novel. It started typing away, while patiently explaining like a nanny: "In order to avoid an accidental counterattack, I have shut down your artistic talent and enhanced some of your inherent talents. From now on, you only need to maintain your lazy nature, and when you have nothing to do, go to Xu Jiayan to perform, provide her with comparison materials, and help her successfully secure her place at the top. Once she wins the Best Actress award and reaches the pinnacle of her life, your mission will be accomplished."

Meow~ So simple?

Before Miaomiao could ask, there was a "ding" sound, and the system completed the setup. The next second, Miaomiao was sent out of the system space.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly stood up like an animal. Zhao Shuya and the staff were dumbfounded. As soon as Miaomiao came back to reality, she stared at everyone - fortunately, the camera was not turned on in time.

Miaomiao: “…”

It's over, they're not going to send me to the zoo, are they?

"Miao Miao, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Shuya was the first to come to her senses. She walked forward carefully and asked tentatively.

"I had a nightmare." Lin Miaomiao pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "I dreamed that I turned into a small animal, and a big beast chased me and wanted to eat me."

Zhao Shuya and others: "..."

That’s why she had a headache and felt furious just now. Did she dream that she was eaten by a wild beast?

Zhao Shuya breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Lin Miaomiao. Lin Miaomiao relaxed and crawled over obediently.

Zhao Shuya gently touched her head and comforted her: "Dreams are always the opposite of what they thought. Miaomiao is so cute, who would be willing to hurt you?"

Lin Miaomiao closed her eyes and enjoyed Zhao Shuya's comfort. She put her arms around Zhao Shuya's waist and leaned in her arms, acting coquettishly.

When the photographer saw that she had returned to normal, he turned on the camera and waited in the live broadcast room for the audience and haters who were scolding her. The moment the picture was restored, they saw Lin Miaomiao hugging Zhao Shuya and acting coquettishly, and they became even angrier.

[F#ck, this spoiled brat dares to act like a spoiled brat! ]

[Why didn’t the murderer faint completely? ]

[Xu Jiayan didn't faint after pushing someone into the river, but she did. I think she pretended to faint on purpose to evade responsibility! ]

[Intentional, Lin Miaomiao definitely pretended to faint on purpose! ]

[This is so disgusting. When will the production team fire the murderer? ]

Before the guests on the scene could react, the live broadcast room was already filled with insults.

"Hurry!" The system urged Lin Miaomiao, "While the audience watching the show are in high spirits, go find Xu Jiayan and apologize!"

Lin Miaomiao was confused again, "Didn't you say that I should do the opposite to make everyone think I'm bad?"

How can you still be a bad person after you apologize?

The system taught him step by step: "This is called white lotus and green tea behavior. There are so many people at the scene, and there are tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room watching. Xu Jiayan will definitely not really care about you. If you apologize, it will make you look particularly scheming and vicious. The guests and the audience will definitely think that you are morally bound and feel aggrieved for her. The more they hate you, the more they feel sorry for Xu Jiayan. Such a good comparison opportunity will help you complete your task, don't miss it!"

Lin Miaomiao perked up when she heard the mission. She let go of Zhao Shuya and said as the system taught her: "Where's Xu Jiayan? How is she?"

Zhao Shuya held down Lin Miaomiao who was about to get out of bed, "Jiayan is taking a shower and changing clothes, you should take a break first, we can talk later if there is anything."

“No!” Lin Miaomiao insisted on getting out of bed, saying seriously, “I need to apologize to her. If I’m any later, she’ll misunderstood!”

[F#ck, she actually blackmailed me! ]

[Ahhh, why didn't this troublemaker faint? This is so disgusting! ]

[That's too bad. She must have thought that Xu Jiayan didn't want to embarrass her in front of so many people, so she deliberately said she wanted to apologize! ]

[I am just a passerby. I finally understand why Lin Miaomiao is so annoying. I feel sorry for all the fans who have been upset by her. ]

Unlike other live broadcast rooms, Xu Jiayan's live broadcast room is full of fans' shouts:

[Yanyan, don't go over there! ]

[Yanyan, run away quickly and ignore the murderer! ]

They watched Xu Jiayan, who had changed her clothes, walk straight to Lin Miaomiao's room, and instantly filled the live broadcast room with messages like "Don't go" and "Run", as if Xu Jiayan would be able to hear them as long as they messaged more.

"Hey, Miaomiao, take a break first, we'll see you later..."

Zhao Shuya and the staff at the scene were also afraid that the two would clash in person, and were about to hold back Lin Miaomiao who was running out, when Xu Jiayan's voice suddenly came from the door: "Miaomiao, you're awake!"

Lin Miaomiao turned her gaze and, under the guidance of the system, quickly ran to Xu Jiayan, grabbed her hand, and said sincerely, "Jiayan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you into the river."

These were typical clichés from a white lotus, and even the male guests who were watching at the door frowned.

Just as everyone looked at each other, wondering how to help Xu Jiayan out of the predicament, Xu Jiayan held Lin Miaomiao's hand and said, "I know you didn't mean it. To be honest, I should be the one to apologize to you."

Calm and sincere, without a trace of reluctance.

Lin Miaomiao: “Ah?”

Other people:???

Audiences:???

Xu Jiayan smiled faintly and said in annoyance: "In fact, there was a puddle where we passed by. You couldn't see it with the basket in your hand. If I had reminded you in front, you wouldn't have slipped and we wouldn't have fallen into the river. I'm sorry, I caused you to drown."

The theme of "Happy Farmhouse" is to experience the most authentic farm life. Therefore, apart from providing the guests with a small courtyard to live in, food for the first day and basic daily necessities, the program team will not provide any more help, let alone start-up capital. From the second day on, the guests will start to be self-reliant and solve their survival problems in the village for this month.

It is said that no one has lived in the courtyard for nearly ten years. The program crew just gave it a simple cleaning. All the furniture, farm tools and other utensils were old and broke at the slightest touch. The first thing the guests did after moving in was to clean the house and make sure the furniture was repaired. All the loose wooden stools, chairs, farm tools, etc. were put in the pond at the door to soak. The pond water was too shallow to hold the baskets and fish baskets, so they had to be soaked in the river at the entrance of the village overnight to prevent them from being used later.

Lin Miaomiao and Xu Jiayan were responsible for soaking the utensils. They put the fish baskets, dustpans and other bamboo and rattan utensils in a basket and carried it to the river together.

The road leading from the village entrance to the river is not wide and can only be walked vertically. Xu Jiayan walked in front, with a basket full of utensils in the middle. Lin Miaomiao could only follow her footsteps and could not see the road ahead at all.

Lin Miaomiao was still at a loss, and Xu Jiayan said, "Although there is a large stone slab by the river for washing things, the mud around the slab is very slippery, and with a puddle, it's normal that you can't stand steadily. I didn't think it through."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the photography teacher." Xu Jiayan simply brought up the photographer.

Everyone looked at the photographer, who nodded, "There is indeed a puddle."

"She lied to you. There was no puddle ahead! The original owner pushed her into the river on purpose!"

Just when Lin Miaomiao was seeing stars and her head was in a mess because of Xu Jiayan's words, the system shouted in her mind: "Besides, you two were not on good terms in the first place. Xu Jiayan only needs to maintain the image of being considerate and kind. Why did she suddenly help you to clear the name?"

Lin Miaomiao suddenly came to her senses. That’s right, Xu Jiayan cares so much about her, how can she continue to be the bad guy and serve as the control group for the task?

“I didn’t step into the puddle!” Lin Miaomiao ignored Xu Jiayan’s kindness and said with a serious face, “Even if I really slipped, if I didn’t fall forward but to the sides, or if I slipped backwards, you wouldn’t be pushed into the river by me. Judging from the result, I am still the murderer who caused you to fall into the water!”
