Chapter 1: Shu Yue's Transmigration (1)

Chapter 1: Shu Yue Transmigrates (1)

When Shu Yue woke up, she was lying on a hard, earthen kang. Her eyes were met with walls made of gray, crumbling stone and mud. Spiderwebs hung from the wooden beams and rafters of the ceiling, and she was covered by a quilt layered with patch upon patch. Shu Yue was in a state of utter bewilderment and confusion, her body stiff, not daring to move a muscle.

The three philosophical questions ran through her mind like garbled code. Shu Yue reached out a small, dimpled hand to rub her chubby face, her stiff body finally relaxing as her dazed brain began to function again.

That’s right!

She had died, and she had lived again.

Shu Yue had been electrocuted!

She was a computer science student about to graduate, and for her final project, she had created a survival mobile game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Her school was rather unscrupulous, mandating that the final project be completed entirely solo. The scale of the game was massive, and she had miscalculated her progress, forcing her to pull all-nighters and push herself to the limit. After rushing for half a year, she finally finished just before the defense, but in her excitement, she spilled a cup of coffee right onto her keyboard.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn from a prosperous, modern metropolis into the late 1950s—a time of poverty, backwardness, and scarcity—becoming Bai Shu Yue, the five-year-old daughter of the second son of the Bai family in Bai Village.

Little Shu Yue was quite the looker.

Her arms were soft and dimpled like lotus roots, her features were delicate, and her skin was fair. Beneath long, curled eyelashes, her large, clear eyes were watery and expressive, making her look as soft, cute, and adorable as a crystal doll.

However, this was not necessarily good news.

It was 1957. Next year would bring the communal canteens, followed by the Great Famine, where the land would be filled with wailing and corpses. Droughts, earthquakes, floods, and hailstorms—with grass roots, tree bark, and kaolin clay as the only options, the premise of simply filling one's stomach was a major problem. In such circumstances, looks were truly unimportant and could even invite disaster.

Shu Yue’s advisor had once evaluated her, saying she was so calm, rational, patient, and self-controlled that she didn't seem like a young person at all.

That wasn't entirely true, but at a time like this, Shu Yue was indeed very rational and calm; she could distinguish reality.

Suddenly transmigrated, Shu Yue felt aggrieved in her heart.

She didn't want to transmigrate!

She didn't want to starve to death!

She didn't want to go hungry!

She wanted to eat until she was full!

But Shu Yue knew very well that she had been electrocuted. Since yesterday, she was Bai Shu Yue, and she couldn't go back. She should be grateful to be alive again; she had to learn to be Bai Shu Yue, integrate into this life, and strive to survive.

Shu Yue scrambled off the kang using her hands and feet, her short legs moving quickly as she dashed toward the kitchen.

It was currently the autumn harvest, so farm families ate early in the morning. She didn't have to work or go to school. Before she went to sleep yesterday, her grandmother had told her to get a sweet potato from the kitchen once she was well-rested, saying she would leave one warming in the pot for her this morning.

Thinking of the sweet, soft, and glutinous taste of a sweet potato, saliva uncontrollably pooled in Shu Yue’s mouth. She felt a bit embarrassed, but her short legs honestly moved even faster.

However, when Shu Yue arrived, a skinny seven or eight-year-old girl in the kitchen was holding a sweet potato, eating it bite by bite with great satisfaction. The air was faintly filled with the sweet scent of the potato.

Shu Yue’s footsteps faltered, and her eyes widened. This couldn't be…

She had a bad premonition.

Seeing her arrive, Er Ya’s eyes flickered. She pulled the last bite of sweet potato she had already stuffed into her mouth back out, held it toward Shu Yue, and looked up with a sun-kissed, dark-yellow face, smiling brilliantly.

"You're up! Here, you eat it!"

Shu Yue: "..."
