The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Returns to the Village to Farm [Food]

Lin You was a top farming influencer in her original world who, after a mudslide accident, transmigrated into a novel she had read. She became a minor supporting character in a Mary Sue-style entertainment industry story, inhabiting the body of an actress with the same name. The original owner had been exploited by her manager, Zhang Kai, who used her fame to promote the heroine, Mu Qingqing. Lin You found herself in the middle of a scandal where she was publicly accused of bullying the heroine, leading to intense cyberbullying and pressure to leave the entertainment industry. Despite having an eight-figure fortune, the original owner had spent most of it on contract termination fees, leaving her with only a small amount of liquid cash and a withheld five million yuan that Zhang Kai refused to pay due to a non-compete clause.

Determined to escape the toxic environment, Lin You returned to her new hometown, Lianhua Village in Yanxia Mountain. She was greeted by Yao Jiu, a childhood friend who now lived in the village due to her father's health issues. Lin You settled into the old family home, which had been abandoned for years, and began cleaning and preparing it for her new life. She planned to reclaim some of the family's land and start farming again, a profession she was familiar with from her past life. Her neighbors, including Aunt Wang and Aunt Chunling, welcomed her warmly, offering help and sharing local food. Lin You also acquired a young calf named Mengmeng, which became a source of amusement and companionship.

Meanwhile, a mysterious man named Bo Chuan lived in a dilapidated Taoist temple next door. He was a cultivator who had come to the village for meditation and spiritual practice. Bo Chuan was accustomed to a life of fasting and silence, but the arrival of Lin You and the sounds of her daily activities, including cooking and the noises from her animals, began to disturb his peace. He found himself increasingly distracted by the aromas of her food and the general liveliness of her household, which contrasted sharply with his ascetic lifestyle.

Lin You decided to resume live streaming, not for fame, but to maintain a public presence as part of her legal strategy against Zhang Kai. She started broadcasting her farming activities, sharing tips on planting vegetables and raising animals. Her streams attracted a mix of loyal followers and hostile critics, known as black fans, who were organized by Zhang Kai's team to harass her online. Despite the negative comments, Lin You remained focused and professional, using the platform to build a new audience interested in rural life and agriculture. The live streams also helped her gain visibility, causing trending topics to appear online, which frustrated Zhang Kai as he tried to suppress them.

As Lin You settled into her new routine, she continued to navigate the challenges posed by Zhang Kai's attempts to control her narrative. She received support from her village neighbors, who were unaware of her past in the entertainment industry and treated her as a regular resident. Lin You's decision to live a simple, honest life through farming and live streaming marked a significant shift from her previous existence. The story follows her efforts to reclaim her autonomy, fight for her rightful compensation, and build a peaceful life in the countryside, all while dealing with the unexpected presence of her mystical neighbor and the ongoing conflict with her former manager.
