"I look like 'Hua Jiu Nong', how should I set up my account?"
Lin Beibei finished editing this passage and posted it on Yinlang, refreshing the comment section every three to five seconds.
Yinlang was the hottest short video app in their area.
With the economy currently in a slump, she was laid off by her new company just two months after starting work.
Seeing that her rent was due in half a month, she couldn't come up with half a year's rent all at once.
She had discussed with the landlord about possibly delaying by a month, but the landlord disagreed, implying he was worried she would skip out on the rent.
She understood the landlord's concerns. To avoid being homeless, she had no choice but to research how to make quick money.
She had heard recently that making money through self-media was fast, but after posting several videos of various types, none of them gained much traction.
It seemed no money was easy to make.
Perhaps she just hadn't found the right approach.
However, one comment gave her an idea: it said she looked very much like 'Hua Jiu Nong', a risqué female streamer with thirty million fans.
It was said that Hua Jiu Nong only streamed two or three days a month and could earn at least twenty million!
She didn't expect to be as amazing as 'Hua Jiu Nong'. Her expectations were not high; she just wanted to earn enough for rent and living expenses.
Or, if possible, she wanted to set a goal of earning two thousand yuan a day before ending the stream.
This way, after covering basic living expenses, she would have money left over and extra time to eat, drink, travel, and enjoy life.
After living so hard for the past twenty-one years, she just wanted to live a more Zen-like life from now on, doing as she pleased.
After all, happiness is what matters most!
So she posted this message, hoping to see if she still had a chance to make a living through self-media.
Not long after, the comment section exploded.
momo: 【This is easy, just imitate her. 】
Jia Fugui: 【Start a live stream and let us brothers see how similar you look, and if you can make a living through self-media! 】
TTYY: 【You look like 'Hua Jiu Nong'? Are you kidding me? Is that face something you can try to copy? Don't you have a mirror at home, or are you just full of yourself? 】
momo: 【Holy crap! I saw the photos on her homepage, she really does look alike! 】
TTYY: 【It's photoshopped, right? Not everyone can replicate 'Hua Jiu Nong's' peerless beauty. If you dare, start a live stream and show us! 】
Loves Jiu Jiu the Most: 【She definitely won't dare to stream live! I've seen plenty like this! It's all photoshopped to gain traffic. In reality, she doesn't resemble the original at all, it's pure fraud, brothers, don't fall for it! 】
Lin Beibei looked at the post, which quickly garnered tens of thousands of comments. She pressed her trembling, excited chest and refreshed, then clicked to read.
She was nervous about being cyberbullied, but excited that her post was finally getting traffic.
On the internet, traffic equals money!
To her surprise, there weren't many people scolding her in the comments. Most were tagging her to start a live stream, wanting to see if she really looked like 'Hua Jiu Nong'.
Lin Beibei's eyes darted around.
Now that the heat was here, she had to seize this immense fortune, otherwise, she might not get such good traffic next time.
She tidied herself up, then picked up her mobile phone, her fingers trembling as she tapped to start the live stream.
This was her first live stream ever.
It was impossible to say she wasn't nervous.
Less than a minute after the live stream started, hundreds of people had already flooded into the live stream room.
All of them were traffic drawn from the post that had just gone viral.
Lin Beibei feigned calmness and pulled up the corner of her mouth, even the curve of her lips identical to 'Hua Jiu Nong'.
The netizens who had just entered were all dumbfounded!
【She actually dared to start a live stream! 】
In order to learn how to make money and make a living through self-media, after someone said she looked like 'Hua Jiu Nong', she quickly went to check 'Hua Jiu Nong's' account.
There were over a hundred videos on her homepage, and she watched them all without missing one, even studying them frame by frame!
If strong people become strong, there must be a reason for it!
However, while studying, she was also incredibly surprised. The facial features and contours of this 'Hua Jiu Nong' were almost identical to hers, even the mole on her collarbone was in the same spot.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the other person was like another version of herself in the world.
But with so many people in the world, it wasn't uncommon to look alike. Lin Beibei was only surprised for a moment before she adapted.
Before starting the stream, she changed into a beige slip dress, the one she wore least often among all her clothes, but it looked the sweetest and most pure, with a hint of sexiness.
She then unskillfully applied false eyelashes and put on brown contact lenses, which she had never worn before.
She was imitating 'Hua Jiu Nong's' natural, sweet makeup and style.
momo: 【Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap... 】
AAA Building Material King Brother: 【Isn't this Hua Jiu Nong herself! 】
Loves Jiu Jiu the Most: 【She must have had plastic surgery! Seeing that our Jiu Jiu is popular, she specifically got surgery to look like her and leech off her popularity! How shameless! 】
Lin Beibei looked at the comments in the bullet comments, her gentle smile unwavering.
'Hua Jiu Nong' followed this route: gentle and sweet, understanding and considerate, which attracted countless big brothers on the leaderboard to go crazy for her.
Moreover, she was making money.
As long as she could make money, what was wrong with being questioned or scolded a little?
Lin Beibei quickly glanced at 'Loves Jiu Jiu the Most's' homepage, cleared her throat, and said gently, "Welcome everyone to my live stream. Hello, Brother Loves Jiu Jiu the Most. I haven't had plastic surgery. And I feel honored to look like 'Hua Jiu Nong'. I don't think it's shameless at all; instead, I'm grateful that this face is liked by everyone."
'Loves Jiu Jiu the Most' outside the screen was dumbfounded.
What, what did she just call him?!
She called him... Brother!
He was originally a die-hard fan of 'Hua Jiu Nong', watching her account grow from a few hundred fans to thirty million.
He had practically accompanied 'Hua Jiu Nong' from having nothing to becoming a big streamer!
And in every live stream PK, his reward amount was no less than four figures.
In the beginning, 'Hua Jiu Nong' would welcome him every time, enthusiastically calling him brother.
But since last year, after 'Hua Jiu Nong' surpassed ten million fans, he hadn't heard 'Hua Jiu Nong' call him that and welcome him enthusiastically for a long time.
At first, he didn't think much of it.
After all, 'Hua Jiu Nong' was now very popular, with many big brothers on the leaderboard.
Seeing his favorite streamer achieve such success, he was very pleased.
Yet, he felt a little disappointed inwardly.
But it didn't stop him from continuing to support her!
He could only blame himself for earning too little, lacking the ability to be 'Hua Jiu Nong's' Top Big Brother!
So that 'Hua Jiu Nong' would always remember him!
Looking at the young girl on the screen, her eyes curved into a gentle, obedient smile, her face almost identical to the person he liked, 'Loves Jiu Jiu the Most' suddenly felt that what he had said earlier was perhaps a bit too much?
And his tone was so harsh, yet she didn't get angry!
She even called him 'Brother'!
momo: 【The streamer has such a good temper, I'm a fan now! 】
Wielding Sword Roaming the World: 【@Loves Jiu Jiu the Most, she's just a young girl who happens to look like 'Hua Jiu Nong'. You were too harsh, weren't you? And she didn't slander 'Hua Jiu Nong'. 】
Lin Beibei tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, trying hard to imitate 'Hua Jiu Nong's' every move: "Thank you, Brother Tianya. It's okay. Brother 'Loves Jiu Jiu the Most' just wanted to protect the person he likes. He didn't mean it, and I actually think Brother 'Loves Jiu Jiu the Most' is a very righteous person. I've always dreamed of having a brother who would protect me like that."
As she spoke the last sentence, Lin Beibei's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her eyelashes, exuding a sense of fragility.
Hearing the repeated calls of "Brother," 'Loves Jiu Jiu the Most' was almost dazed.
Looking at the young girl's expression, he instantly felt that he was truly despicable!
Wielding Sword Roaming the World: 【Little sister has such great character! 】
Suddenly, a special effect of a bright red rose appeared on the screen.
【Loves Jiu Jiu the Most sent a Rose ×1. 】
Loves Jiu Jiu the Most: 【Little sister, I was wrong just now, but don't try to replace 'Hua Jiu Nong' in our hearts. I advise you to just go do what you were doing. 】
