Reborn as the Villain's Wife, I Shine in 80s-Chapter 120 - 116 Foodie Actress is Too Seductive

Tian Sangsang stood in front of the shelf, selecting two bottles of her homemade grape wine, sangren wine, Yangmei wine; two jars of Lychee Honey, pine honey, loquat honey, assorted canned goods; other dried fruits like preserved plums, dried banana; pickled cucumbers, sour and spicy pickled radish, cured meat, braised food, kimchi, and so on.

The main issue was that there weren’t enough varieties in the Plane space, otherwise she could have made even more things.

After packing up these items, Tian Sangsang walked to the bathroom in the courtyard house and stared blankly at the large, empty mirror inside.

She lifted her chin with a finger, checking herself out from left to right. Her face was still as dark as before, but now the intensity of darkness had reduced to 75%. Clearly, the essential oils in the Plane space were having a huge effect—especially after she had exchanged for a cow from another novel Plane. The cow’s milk, partially blended with honey, was used for washing her face. See, you reap what you sow! Once luxury comes into play, the results truly emerge.

Looking at her plump reflection in the mirror, at first glance she seemed just as heavy as ever, but weighing herself had shown that she had actually lost 20 pounds. This was entirely thanks to her steadfast commitment to running and working out every morning and evening, her conscious effort to control portion sizes during meals, and the days she spent rushing around the town trying to earn money. All this activity had really helped her shed those 20 pounds—a feat not achievable by just anyone.

Still, Tian Sangsang felt like her physical condition was almost too good; she’d never been seriously ill before. If she could experience a major illness, wouldn’t losing weight become ridiculously easy?

Getting started is always the hardest part. Now that she had lost 20 pounds, the road ahead seemed much easier. Persistence is victory!

After finishing up in front of the mirror, Tian Sangsang pulled up a chair and leisurely sipped some sour plum juice while looking at the large screen floating in mid-air. You know what? This had really become her daily habit.

A habit of watching the Plane Space.

It felt not just like watching an outdoor movie but also like reading an online novel. However, online novels could never be as outrageously cool as this! To enjoy an online novel, you rely on imagination, but in the case of the Plane Time, it was all authentic—an actual series of films and dramas. TV dramas and movies often face issues with subpar directors, lackluster actors, and flawed producers. Creating a truly harmonious production is unbelievably difficult, but every performance in the Plane Time was purely authentic.

The actors inside were entirely generated based on the novel’s descriptions; their acting skills depended solely on the author’s writing prowess. The backgrounds weren’t phoned-in visuals but real environments; even the props were genuine. The key point? There was no cutting, no censorship—absolutely mind-blowing!

The novel’s title was "Ancient Crosses into Modern Times: The Foodie Film Queen is Too Seductive." It was a classic entertainment-industry revenge story about a female guard who time-traveled and became an eighteenth-tier minor celebrity caught in constant scandals. Step by step, she climbed her way to becoming a top actress and married the big boss. The female guard relied entirely on her authentic performance after crossing over. With her Martial Arts skills, she managed to avoid needing a stunt double and quickly shot to fame. And since she was a foodie with a unique personality, she inadvertently charmed people while staying aloof. Her impressive acting skills allowed her to be both a model and a runway star, play the guqin, and write calligraphy. For someone like her not to become famous? That’s just illogical.

"My lord!" Accompanied by a low, heart-wrenchingly anguished cry, the Empress plunged off the cliff.

The female guard stood at the edge of the cliff. The cold wind howled, stirring her dark robes. A deep sadness welled up in her serene eyes. Seeing the assassins catching up to her, she drew her sword.

What followed was a brutal battle—a vicious fight. Blood soaked the female guard’s clothes as the assassins fell one by one. She drove her sword into the ground and resolutely leapt off the cliff. "My lord, in the next life, Kunling will protect you to the end."

"Ah, it’s all just the usual tropes. But the female lead’s name is pretty good—Guan Kunling—it’s quite grand, huh. Next comes the reincarnation, right? Haha, looking forward to it!" Having seen too many stories following similar formulas, Tian Sangsang didn’t feel much excitement. Instead, she casually took a sip of sour plum juice and grabbed a snack to toss into her mouth.

Suddenly, the screen flickered.

Then flickered again, erratically.

Black and white hues intertwined, giving off a vibe reminiscent of Zhen Zi making her infamous appearance.

On the screen, the female guard, as she jumped off the cliff, seemed to glance briefly in Tian Sangsang’s direction.

"Pfft!" Tian Sangsang didn’t have time to think too much. She quickly spat out what was in her mouth and took a big gulp of sour plum juice. A moment ago, out of sheer habit, she had grabbed the bag of chips next to her and stuffed some into her mouth. But she wasn’t in her old "eat-all-you-want-never-get-fat" physique anymore—she was a full-blown fatty now, okay!

When she looked at the screen again, it had gone entirely black and wasn’t budging an inch. "What happened? Bad signal? No internet? Don’t tell me this magical Plane Space can lag too?" Tian Sangsang mumbled to herself in curiosity. She switched to another channel—another novel, which was playing perfectly fine in HD. No glitches at all!

But when she switched back to "Ancient Crosses into Modern Times: The Foodie Film Queen is Too Seductive," the screen remained pitch-black.

Tian Sangsang sighed and exited the space. She found the leftover fabrics from earlier, planning to sew herself a T-shirt and embroider a ping-pong ball and paddle on both the front and back. After all, it’s a national sport! As for the glitch in the Plane Space, she didn’t take it seriously.

It was just lag, right? Let it sit for a while; it might fix itself later.

For Zhao Chun’s package, besides the assortment of jars and bottles she had packed from the space earlier, Tian Sangsang added a ping-pong-themed T-shirt, along with a few boxes of her homemade cakes, a large sack of roasted peanuts, and an equally large bag of dried sweet potato. She had too many peanuts and sweet potatoes leftover from her harvest, so giving half to Zhao Chun seemed like a practical solution.

That evening, under the dim coal oil lamp, Tian Sangsang counted money. Counting money was her favorite activity—it was always a delight listening to the crisp sound as her fingertips flicked through bills, bringing her unbridled joy.

Whatever you face in life, never let it be a fight with RMB. Right now, she was counting on this RMB to buy herself a shop!

Her entire fortune—all for the dream of buying property!

The 50 bucks Zhao Chun had sent over today, the 98 bucks she’d earned hustling in the town recently, the hidden 50 bucks Zhao Chun had stashed under the pig’s trotters jar, plus the living and food expenses Zhao Chun had paid earlier, along with the small savings she’d accumulated herself—all added up to 278 bucks.

What a fortune! Tian Sangsang carefully wrapped the wad of money with a colorful cloth.

The next day, Tian Sangsang rode a cow cart into town. Turns out, buying a house was still beyond her means; renting was her only option. But in towns like this, most shop owners owned their properties outright, so there wasn’t much of a rental market. Renting wasn’t a popular practice here. Still, for those who were open to it, rent for a single floor usually ranged from 20 to 40 bucks a month.

Tian Sangsang had her eye on a shop at the very front of the street in the town center. The owner, a local, was moving out and intended to either rent or sell it. The property had two floors, with the ground floor measuring only about 20 square meters—not too bad, all things considered.
