Chapter 1: Transmigration

"Why hasn't she woken up yet? Brother, do you think she's dead?"

Then, a milky-voiced yet serious voice rang out.

"She shouldn't be. She hasn't sold us off yet, so how could she be dead!"

Su Li felt a small hand poking at her face.

"If she dies, we won't have a mother anymore!" The tiny voice carried a hint of sorrow.

"Don't be afraid, Brother will be your mother!"

Su Li: "..."

She forced her eyes open. What met her gaze were two children who looked exactly alike; they appeared to be about three or four years old and were as thin as little chicks.

"Wah, she's awake!" Seeing Su Li open her eyes, the two children jumped back a great distance, as if she were some wicked old witch.

Was it really necessary to go that far?

Su Li curled her lip. She used her hands to prop herself up on the bed to sit up. Once sitting, her head was buzzing incessantly.

Where was this? Hadn't she been in a car accident?

Looking at the unfamiliar environment before her, her brain began to work rapidly, and a set of memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.

She had transmigrated, into a dynasty that did not exist in history. The original owner of this body was also named Su Li, nineteen years old this year, and the wife of He Yufeng, a hunter from Hejia Village.

Speaking of this Su Li, one could not finish telling her story even in three days and three nights. Because of her years of laziness and gluttony, Su Li was a standard fat woman, weighing about one hundred and eighty jin.

Furthermore, Su Li had a violent temper. She would frequently beat and scold her two biological twin sons, at the very least shouting at them, and if things didn't go her way, she wouldn't feed the two children. This was the reason why the two children were as thin as little chicks.

This time, she didn't know for what reason she had fallen into the river, but by the time the villagers fished her out, she was already unconscious. Once she returned home, she had a fever that wouldn't break.

Su Li's reputation was generally poor. After the villagers sent her home, they ignored her. He Yufeng had gone into the mountains to hunt and had not yet returned; only Su Li and the two three-year-old children were in the house.

Seeing Su Li in this state, the two children were terrified. They had never experienced such a thing and didn't know how to call a doctor for her, so the original owner had simply burned herself to death.

Su Li looked at the two shivering children not far away, then began to survey the surrounding environment again.

The place she was living in now could be described with one phrase: "A total wreck!"

The walls were enclosed with bamboo, which served as the main structure of the house, and the roof was covered with thatch. If a heavy rainstorm came, this house would likely be gone.

There weren't many things in the room—a table and a few stools, one of which was missing a leg.

The most valuable thing in the room... uh, there really wasn't anything!

Seeing the state of this home, Su Li couldn't help but sigh; it was truly poor!

Logically speaking, He Yufeng was a hunter and his hunting skills weren't bad, so his living conditions shouldn't be this poor. But who told him to be stuck with a mother who was biased to the heavens and a wife who was exceptionally, extremely unreliable?

Every time He Yufeng hunted and earned silver, Su Li would take the money using various excuses. If He Yufeng didn't give it to her, she would mistreat the two children. He Yufeng couldn't keep the children tied to his waist at all times, so he truly had no choice but to compromise with Su Li.

Thus, life in this house grew worse day by day.

The two children stared at Su Li with round eyes. Seeing her sitting on the bed without saying a word or shouting at them, they actually felt a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment.

He Erhu tugged at He Dahu's clothes. "Brother, look, she's sitting on the bed dazed and silent. Has her brain been fried by the fever?"

In the past, as soon as Su Li opened her eyes, she would act like a madwoman, smashing pots and breaking bowls; she had never been this quiet.

He Dahu stared straight at Su Li, seemingly trying to see if something was wrong with her.

Su Li felt his scrutiny and lifted her head to look at them. That one ordinary look nearly scared the pee out of He Erhu.

"Waaa~ Daddy, help!"

As if having suffered some great shock, He Erhu grabbed He Dahu and tried to run outside.

The innocent-looking Su Li blinked. Why were they running? She hadn't even done anything!

He Erhu: *Don't you know why we're running in your own heart?*

Su Li ignored the two brothers running out. Her mind was currently a complete mess, and she had no intention of worrying about much.

Based on the current situation, she was completely ignored in this house. In her memories, He Yufeng had no affection for her whatsoever, and even these two biological sons viewed her like a venomous snake or scorpion. Life ahead was definitely going to be difficult!

"Sigh, what a mess!"

This was the one hundred and eighth sigh Su Li had let out.

He Erhu was peeking through the window to watch the situation in the room. When he heard Su Li sigh, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, and then he ran *da-da-da* to find He Dahu.

"Brother, she just sighed." He Erhu's expression was somewhat worried.

He Dahu glanced at his silly younger brother, patted his head, and said, "Erhu, you must not be fooled by her appearance. Let's stay far away from her. Once Daddy comes back, we'll be safe."

"Mm-hmm!"

He Erhu nodded vigorously, looking like a well-behaved baby.

Inside the room.

Su Li was resting her chin on her hand, contemplating life. She was originally the eighteenth-generation successor of a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic in a small county town. Because of a whim, she bought a lottery ticket, and as it turned out, she accidentally won five million.

The sudden surprise made her so excited she couldn't sleep. Just when she thought she was about to reach the peak of her life and become a happy little rich woman from then on...

Heaven had other plans. Just as she was excitedly running to redeem the ticket, a disaster struck on the road; she was sent flying by a car that ran a red light.

Her happiness hadn't even lasted twenty-four hours before it vanished!

When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in this godforsaken place. If she had transmigrated into a beautiful, talented, unmarried young lady, it would have been one thing, but Heaven had made her transmigrate into an extreme "old auntie" whose husband didn't love her and whose children weren't close to her!

Su Li felt a bit dejected. Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the lightning bear by her pillow.

"Little thing, you came along too?" Su Li's spirit instantly brightened.

She had gone through the friend of a friend of a relative and paid a high price to buy this. Although it was a bit painful, she loved it!

She usually carried this little thing with her, and she hadn't expected it to follow her here this time.

Su Li gripped the lightning bear in her hand. A chill traveled from her hand through her body, and she felt her vision go dark. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a different place.

Su Li surveyed this mysterious place. Directly in front of her was a small wooden hut. In front of the hut, there was a patch of black soil and a pool of clear spring water, with flowers blooming all around the spring.

The small wooden hut acted like a magnet, constantly emitting a field that attracted her.

"Why not go over and take a look?" Su Li murmured softly.
