Chapter 1: Transmigrated as a Female Supporting Character, Suddenly Gifted a System

1977, the residential area of the Rongcheng Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Jiang Moli lay sprawled out on her bed, staring blankly at the portrait of the Great Leader on the wall.

According to plan, she should have been lying on a beach in the Maldives right now, basking in the sunlight and enjoying a heavenly seascape, rather than lying on this rusty iron bed contemplating life.

Yes, she had transmigrated, just half an hour ago.

The world she was currently in was a "military marriage" novel set in the 1970s.

『Host, pull yourself together! Complete the mission early, and you can take a 100-million-yuan prize back to your original world!』

Oh, she almost forgot.

She had transmigrated along with a "Most Hated Person" system.

Before her plane crashed, the system had approached her, offering her a chance to survive if she agreed to bind with it. If she successfully completed the mission, she could receive 100 million yuan and return to her original world.

The mission wasn't difficult: she needed to collect 10,000 "Disdain Points" to achieve the "Most Hated Person" accomplishment.

A single target character could only contribute 1 disdain point.

In other words, she needed to be hated and loathed by ten thousand people.

However, this wouldn't be hard for her. As a professional entertainment streamer specializing in sharp tongues and gossip, offending people was something she could do in minutes.

The room door creaked open from the outside.

A young girl with delicate features, a tall stature, and two braided pigtails stood at the door, looking at her with an expressionless face

"Time to eat."

With that, she turned and left.

The girl was Jiang Moli's step-sister, the female lead of this world, Jiang Qing.

As for Jiang Moli's identity, she was the wicked step-sister who constantly opposed Jiang Qing, acted maliciously behind her back, and was eventually killed by a train.

...

Jiang Moli went to the outer room.

Jiang Dahai, Jiang Peng, and Jiang Qing were already eating with their bowls in hand, while the stepmother, Li Hongying, was scooping rice.

Once Jiang Moli sat down, Li Hongying placed a scooped bowl of rice in front of her.

"Moli, eat."

The attempt to please her was obvious.

Dinner consisted of coarse grain rice made from a mix of millet, corn, and rice, with side dishes of sautéed green beans and shredded pickles. It looked devoid of any oil or meat.

Jiang Moli gripped her chopsticks, poked at the rice a couple of times, and said with disdain, "What kind of junk is this? It's as coarse as pig feed."

The whole family looked at her.

But no one spoke; they were clearly used to her pickiness.

Jiang Moli extended her chopsticks toward the dish bowl again. "And look at these vegetables—not a drop of oil! Even a dog wouldn't eat this!"

Jiang Dahai, who had just picked up a mouthful of beans to eat, flew into a rage and slammed the table with a loud *bang*

"Eat it or don't! If you won't eat, get out!"

『Disdain points received +1+1+1+1... Total 8. Host's personal account credited with 80,000 RMB.』

Huh?

There were only four people in front of her, so where did the 8 disdain points come from?

Oh, it was the room next door.

The Jiang family lived in a courtyard house shared by two households. The neighbors were Zhou Weiguang's family of four, the logistics director of the machinery factory.

Aside from the bedrooms, the courtyard, kitchen, and toilet were shared by both families. The soundproofing was almost non-existent; everything Jiang Moli said was heard loud and clear by the Zhou family.

*Lazy and good-for-nothing all day long, picking faults even when being fed for free—truly loathsome.*

Satisfied with easily earning 8 disdain points, Jiang Moli felt quite content.

To be fair, with the persona of a wicked female supporting character, doing things that made people hate her was incredibly convenient.

Across from her, Jiang Qing watched Jiang Moli with a thoughtful expression.

Ever since her rebirth, everything had been exactly the same as her previous life, but this scene just now was different.

Thinking that Jiang Moli was naturally a picky person, Jiang Qing reasoned that even if her behavior deviated slightly from her previous life, it wouldn't affect her plans, and she felt relieved.

"I'm not wrong. Dad, you work so hard every day. If you eat these nutrient-deficient things every day, your body won't be able to take it. Just you wait—once I strike it rich, I'll take you out to restaurants every day to eat well."

Mission accomplished, Jiang Moli switched to a fawning expression to curry favor with Jiang Dahai.

After all, besides her persona as a wicked supporting character, she was also a useless parasite who lived off her father; she had to cling tightly to Jiang Dahai's thigh to ensure she kept eating.

Sure enough, hearing her words—which contained a hint of filial piety, though not much—Jiang Dahai's expression brightened.

"You'd do me a favor just by not causing trouble for me."

*Then you're going to be disappointed,* she thought. To complete the "Most Hated Person" mission, how could she possibly avoid causing trouble?

"Dad, come, eat more beans. Eat your fill so you can sleep soundly."

"Eat your own food. I can serve myself."

Despite his words of disdain, Jiang Dahai's hand was very honest as he held out his bowl to receive the food.

Seeing this, Li Hongying hurriedly smiled and praised Jiang Moli for being sensible and filial.

Jiang Dahai agreed deeply, a smile appearing on his face. He turned to discuss the matter of his stepdaughter going to the countryside

"I've asked someone to pull some strings to have Xiao Qing sent to a rural youth point in the south to join the production teams. In a couple of years, I'll find a way to get her a path back to the city."

"That's wonderful! Xiao Qing, hurry and thank Uncle Jiang!"

Li Hongying was delighted.

Whether in terms of climate, environment, or resources, the south was far better than the north or the remote borderlands; going there wouldn't be too much of a hardship.

In her previous life, Jiang Qing would have felt the same gratitude toward Jiang Dahai as Li Hongying did.

But she was someone who had died once; she saw through everything.

Jiang Dahai was nothing but a hypocritical old fox.

First, he would have her go to the countryside in place of Jiang Moli, and then he would offer fake kindness, playing both mother and daughter like puppets in his palm.

"Uncle Jiang, I don't want to go to the countryside."

After saying this, she looked at Jiang Moli.

The rest of the family also turned their eyes toward Jiang Moli in unison.

Jiang Moli chewed on a green bean. "Why are you all looking at me? It has nothing to do with me. It's not like I'm the one telling her not to go."

"Sister, are you stupid? If she doesn't go, you'll have to go!" Jiang Peng shouted.

Jiang Moli belatedly remembered that this was the 1970s; unmarried youths aged 18 were required to respond to the policy of "Down to the Countryside."

In the book, because of Jiang Qing's sudden refusal to go, Jiang Dahai had to frantically marry off the original owner to avoid the countryside mandate.

Even though such behavior made one a target for criticism, Jiang Dahai did not hesitate, because he couldn't bear to see his biological daughter suffer in the countryside, and he feared she might never return, spending her whole life stuck in the rural areas.

The reason was simple.

The original owner was beautiful but as stupid as a pig; without her biological father's protection in the countryside, she would be no different from a meat bun dropped into a dog's den.

Li Hongying scolded her daughter, "What are you saying, girl? The name has already been registered. Do you think you can just decide not to go?"

She was worried about making Jiang Dahai angry.

How could Jiang Dahai not be angry? A settled matter had suddenly changed.

"Xiao Qing, going to the countryside is a hardship for you, but the matter is already decided and cannot be changed. But don't worry, I will give you some money and food coupons so your life will be easier there. In a couple of years when you return to the city, I'll find a way to arrange a job for you."

Jiang Qing was determined to resist the injustice of fate and live her own brilliant life; she wouldn't be swayed by a few words from Jiang Dahai.

"Uncle Jiang, there's no need. I've found a partner. He's a soldier, and we are planning to get married."

It was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the Jiang family stunned.

In the next room, the Zhou family of four also pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.
