4. The First Trash

At this moment, Shangguan Jiuli was sitting in a strange place, lost in a daze. Yes, she was just spacing out...

After the white light from the man in the white robe entered Shangguan Jiuli's body, she woke up not too long later. When she woke up, she was still dazed and discovered that her clothes were torn and discarded to the side. Underneath her lay a white gown of seemingly good quality.

As the cold energy in the cave approached, Shangguan Jiuli hesitated for a moment, then draped the white gown over herself, rolled up the sleeves, and grabbed her old clothes. As she prepared to leave, she saw a flash of white light on the wall opposite of her...

Shangguan Jiuli walked over curiously and touched the wall, but she couldn't find anything. As she was about to give up and leave, a bit of blood from a burn on her left hand touched the wall...

Immediately after, Shangguan Jiuli was sucked into the wall by a terrifying force...

Everything happened so quickly that Shangguan Jiuli didn't even have time to scream before she disappeared from the cave...

At this moment, Shangguan Jiuli was sitting on the ground, looking dazed. When she had been sucked in by the terrifying force, she had lost consciousness. When she woke up, she was in a stone chamber that was only one square meter in size. Her clothes, which she had been holding, were gone. Shangguan Jiuli thought they might have been destroyed by the terrifying force...

Fortunately, the robe she was wearing was of good quality, and it wrapped around her small body...

As soon as she came to her senses, her mind was assaulted by a sudden pain, followed by some fragmented, unfamiliar memories that flashed through like a slideshow...

Now, Shangguan Jiuli had finally come to terms with the fact she had crossed over. She didn't have much of a reaction to the fact she had traveled through time while asleep...

In fact, no one knew that although she was a genius doctor in the modern world, no one knew her origins. Neither the National Intelligence Agency nor the FBI could discover her background...

The only known information was her name, her education, and her medical skills. Her family was never mentioned. It was as if she was born and raised by nature...

Everybody thought she was an orphan, but even she herself didn't know if she was an orphan, because she didn't grow up in an orphanage...

More precisely, her memories started at the age of 7 when she attended a middle school in M country. No one found her sudden appearance strange, even she didn't find herself special because she had playmates, lived in a luxury villa, and was accompanied by servants and bodyguards. Everything seemed so natural...

She didn't have parents and she never searched for them. It seemed like everything should have been just like that - her being alone. But one day, when she was 20 years old, she suddenly woke up from a nightmare...

That was the first time she was curious about her parents and the first time she realized she didn't have any memories from before the age of 7. So she went downstairs in the middle of the night and wanted to ask Aunt Yun, who had been cooking for her all these years...

But she searched the entire villa and couldn't find anybody, not even Aunt Yun or the recently hired doorman Uncle Wang...

Only she was in the villa. By that time, she was already well-known and had many acquaintances. She spent money to get help finding the servants and bodyguards who had been with her for years, but she couldn't find any clues...

The strangest thing was that when she took the photos and names of those servants to the household registration office to inquire, the result was that there were no such people. Neither names nor photos matched anyone. It meant that those who served her for over a decade were either undocumented or used fake names and photos...

Fortunately, she had asked a friend of hers when inquiring, otherwise, others would have thought she was crazy...

Thus, the fact that her soul crossed over while she was asleep didn't impact Shangguan Jiuli too much. She let out a bitter smile, her origins in the modern world were still a mystery...

However, her crossing over to this world revealed her background, but it wasn't much different from her life in the modern world. The body's original owner was also called Jiuli, but with the family name Mo. According to the memories in her mind...

The original Mo Jiuli, female, 18 years old, the granddaughter of the founding general Mo Qingtian from the Lingtian Continent's Fengyun Empire, and the daughter of Mo Qingtian's youngest daughter Mo Caiyi. Her father's identity was unknown, and her mother's whereabouts were unclear...

At Mo Jiuli's birth, a heavenly phenomenon occurred. Despite her father's unknown identity, the Empress Dowager of Fengyun Empire still granted her marriage to the Crown Prince. However, it turned out that 3-year-old Mo Jiuli had a constitution that prevented her from cultivating for life. Soon after, her mother disappeared...

From then on, Mo Jiuli's days were filled with misery. Her only sister, Mo Jiuqi, who was considered to be the 'best' towards her, used her concern for Mo Jiuli as an excuse to make her notorious far and wide, eventually turning Mo Jiuli into the Lingtian Continent's number one trash...

This time, Mo Jiuqi conspired with her fiancé, the Crown Prince, to trick her into the Demon Beast Forest and burn her to death. So, that's why her soul crossed into the original owner's body...

The original owner didn't know, but the modern-day Shangguan Jiuli was well-aware of how her supposedly good big sister had caused her a lot of misery over the years...

When the original owner was 5 years old and playing in the back mountain, Mo Jiuqi had her spiritual beast summon nearby wild beasts to attack the defenseless Mo Jiuli. As Mo Jiuli was about to die, Mo Jiuqi came to her rescue...

When the original owner was 6 years old, Mo Jiuqi took her to the lake and pushed her into the water from behind. Again, Mo Jiuqi saved her just before she drowned...

Similar events had occurred countless times, causing the simple-minded and timid Mo Jiuli to completely trust her big sister. She almost followed Mo Jiuqi's words as if they were an imperial decree and didn't doubt them at all...

All along, Mo Jiuli wore heavy makeup and painted herself to appear ghostly, which was due to Mo Jiuqi saying that the Crown Prince liked such appearances. The timid Mo Jiuli knew she was destined to be the Crown Princess from a young age...

After being bullied countless times, her courage diminished even more. In her heart, her only remaining hope was to reach adulthood at 18 years old, marry the Crown Prince, and finally stop being bullied. This was the only hope left for Little Jiuli...</
