Chapter 1: A Baffling Transmigration

Chapter 1: An Inexplicable Transmigration

Hua Ling pinched her arm hard once again, the pain causing her to immediately knit her brows. For the 131st time, she told herself that she had truly transmigrated, and unluckily, she had transmigrated into a woman who was not favored by her husband.

A heavy sigh escaped her lips once more, startling the young maidservant nearby into shivering. The girl’s uneasy gaze darted toward Hua Ling, as if she were some kind of ferocious beast!

Seeing the girl’s fearful appearance, Hua Ling was certain she would lose her appetite for eating altogether. She waved a hand and said, "You may go; there is nothing for you to do here."

"Thank you, Madam. This servant will take her leave." The maidservant bowed gratefully and hurried out. Ever since the Madam had woken up, she had become strange; she had never seen her like this before. It was inexplicably frightening, and the girl didn't want to stay in this suffocating room for even a second longer.

Watching the girl flee in a panic, Hua Ling couldn't help but scoff. She thought back to what the maid had just said—the owner of this body was truly damn unlucky. She had been betrothed to Mu Yelei (her current husband) since childhood, but this husband of hers seemed to truly loathe her. He hadn't even spent their wedding night with her, and the very next day, he had dumped her alone in this Yinlü Pavilion, ignoring her completely. In the year or so since they had been married, the number of times they had met could be counted on one hand.

She, Xia Hua Ling, had offended neither heaven nor earth, so why, just because she accidentally fell into a sewer, did she have to transmigrate to a country not even recorded in history? The Bailian Kingdom? Hmph, she had only ever heard of the White Lotus Sect! She was so depressed she just wanted to bash her head against a wall. If she weren't so unsure about whether she could definitely go back, she would have done it already!

*Since I’m here, I might as well make the best of it,* she thought. That was all she could do now. Hua Ling sighed again, picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table, and took a bite of the only dish available. As soon as it touched her tongue, she spat it out. Damn it, was this even food for humans? They put so much salt in it, were they trying to choke her to death?

Even if she wasn't favored, she was still the Prime Minister’s wife, wasn't she? How could they give her such inferior food! In a fit of rage, Hua Ling kicked the table over. With a loud crash, the bowls and plates shattered into pieces.

The young maid, who hadn't been gone long, heard the noise and ran back in. Seeing the table missing a leg and the shards all over the floor, she said fearfully, "Madam, what are you doing? Even if you don't want to eat, you can't just kick the table over! If the Master finds out, this servant will surely be punished."

Seeing the girl’s terrified look, Hua Ling said with a pang of guilt, "Don't worry. When Mu Yelei asks, I will naturally explain it to him clearly. But I am very hungry right now; tell me, where is the kitchen?"

"Madam, are you going to the kitchen? You’d better not go. Whatever you need, this servant will go and get it for you," the maid said with a nervous tone. In the past year or so, she had never seen the Madam lose her temper like this, let alone kick over a table. It was simply unbelievable; she didn't look like the timid, dull, and honest Madam she knew at all.

"Why can't I go?" Hua Ling asked, frowning. This little maid seemed to have a good heart, just a bit too cowardly. The moment she put on the airs of the Prime Minister’s wife, the girl became frightened.

"It’s not that this servant won't let you go, but the Master gave orders that the Madam is not to step one foot outside of Yinlü Pavilion. Please don't make things difficult for this servant, Madam," the maid said pitifully.

"What? He even put me under house arrest? Damn it, this is going too far! I’m going to find that bastard and settle the score!" Hua Ling ran out in a rage, leaving behind the stunned maid. She thought she had just heard the Madam curse the Master! Oh my god, was it going to rain blood today?
