Chapter 1Chapter 1: Ended Up as a Needy Household

The cries of the baby, the intermittent sobbing sounds, and the harsh swearing voices mixed together chaotically as in a bustling market. Shen Xiaoxiao was disturbed by the noise, her ears buzzing and her head aching. She struggled to open her eyes, astonished to see a roof made of wood and tiles. What was happening? Had her brain been damaged in the car crash? She had no idea that there were hospitals in A City designed like this. After her accident, she should have woken up in a hospital. Where was this place? She secretly looked around: the adobe wall, the wooden lattice window, the windows were patched with yellowing paper, some of which were torn, and a kang bed with a torn straw mat! It was terribly impoverished! Beside the bed sat a woman in ancient clothing, holding an infant and nursing it while crying. She closed her eyes and opened them again, was this some kind of joke or was she on a film set?

She raised her hand, wanting to touch her splitting headache, suspecting that she was hallucinating. Then she realized her hands were smaller, it looked like a child's hand! Then she looked at her body, my God! It was the body of a five or six-year-old child! Was this some sort of prank like a time-travel joke?

The woman beside her noticed Xiaoxiao's stirring, joy welled up in her, and she stopped crying, exclaiming with delight, "Xiao'er, you're awake, thank the heavens, you're finally awake! My Xiao'er is finally awake!" Balancing the baby in one hand, she reached out and gently touched Shen Xiaoxiao's forehead, "Xiao'er, does your head still hurt? Is there any other discomfort? You must tell Mom if you're not feeling well, okay?"

Shen Xiaoxiao quietly observed the woman, who addressed her as Xiao'er and referred to herself as her mother. She must be her new body's mother. The woman was wearing a coarse cloth diagonal collar shirt, which was bleached white and mended in numerous places. Her hair was done in a simple round chignon and secured with a wooden hairpin, she wore silver earrings, her skin was a bit dark and dry but overall delicate. She had exquisite features and slightly swollen eyes, probably from crying. The overall impression she gave was of a gentle and kind woman. If her skin was fairer and her frame a bit plumper, she would certainly have been a great beauty. Now she was nothing but a bag of bones! Xiaoxiao concluded in her heart.

"Xiao'er, Xiao'er... is something uncomfortable?" Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao was staring at her without responding, the woman waved her hand in front of her eyes worriedly, afraid that her daughter might have damaged her brain.

Shen Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. Her throat felt dry and she was about to ask for a glass of water when the door curtain was lifted. A boy of about eight or nine, and a tall, sturdy man walked in one after the other. The two had similar features; it was clear at a glance that they were father and son.

Upon seeing them, the woman encouraged them to come over with joy, "Child's father, come quickly, Xiao'er is awake." She couldn't hold back her teary eyes, tears of joy poured down.

"Xiao'er" both of them said at the same time, and then they simultaneously rushed over to the bed. The man gently touched the top of Shen Xiaoxiao's head and asked with a pained expression, "Xiao'er, does your head still hurt?"

The boy held her hand and said with a sob, "Xiao'er, you're finally awake. You've been sleeping for three days and two nights. If you don't wake up, I'll eat all the bird eggs I found and won't give any to you... Xiao'er, why aren't you talking?"

Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes inwardly, they didn't even let her speak. Finally, when she had a chance to speak, she hurriedly said, "I want to drink water." Her voice was very hoarse, almost inaudible, but everyone heard it because they were all attentively listening.

"I'll go and pour it right away!" No sooner had the boy finished speaking than he bolted out the door, and soon returned with a bowl full of water.

"Old Three's wife, aren't you going to cook? It's your turn to cook today. Soon father and the others will be back from the field, and the whole family, young and old are waiting!" A woman's loud voice could be heard from outside the room, "Really! Lying in bed in broad daylight, luxuriating in idleness! You're not afraid of dying young! Poor me, I got up before dawn to cut grass, feed chickens, feed pigs, water the vegetables, do laundry, cook breakfast, I haven't even had a drop of water now!"

Everyone in the room paused.

"Xiao'er, after you finish your water, lay down again. Mother will bring you lunch in a while." The woman glanced at the sleeping baby in her arms, then gently placed her on the kang bed, covered her with the quilt, prepared to get off the kang, "Rui'er, mother is going to cook, help feed Xiao'er some water and help mother look after your sisters. If anything happens, just call for mother, okay?"

The man stretched out his hand to stop the woman, his face was full of disagreement as he frowned, "What are you doing? Father just said yesterday that you can start doing chores after you finish your confinement. I'll go and talk to Second Sister." With that, he left.

The boy also held the woman's sleeve tightly, his eyes full of pleading and worry as he shook his head at her, "Mother!"

Shen Xiaoxiao was puzzled by what was happening. This woman was expected to cook during her confinement, that's a joke! Women who didn't rest properly during their confinement were likely to get sick in later life. To help this the body's mother out a little, she, herself, decided to let her feed her water, so she looked at the woman with pitiful eyes.

"Mother, I want you to feed me!"

Seeing this, the woman acquiesced. She herself wasn't supposed to be working during her confinement, not to mention that she often cooked for her Second Sister-in-Law anyway. If anything else were to happen to her daughter who had just woken up, she might as well die.

"Alright, mother will feed you." She carefully helped Xiaoxiao sit up, took the bowl, and spoon-fed her.

After Shen Xiaoxiao finished a bowl of water, she felt much better. She lay back on the kang with the help of the woman. She needed some peace and quiet to think about her current situation. Being dizzy, she said, "I want to sleep a bit more".

"Alright, you sleep. Mother will stay by your side." The woman tucked her in and lay down on the kang herself, for she was still recovering from childbirth.

Seeing that both of them had fallen asleep and there was nothing to do, the boy said, "Mother, I'm going to play with Brother Zixuan."

"Alright, remember to come back for dinner on time." Having agreed, the woman let him go.

With her eyes closed, Xiaoxiao was thinking to herself. She remembered just finishing the company's congratulatory banquet. Her eldest brother took their father, mother, and pregnant sister-in-law home to their main villa. Her second brother left the banquet halfway through to catch a flight to the USA. Her third brother was dropping his girlfriend home. Because she had a meeting early the next day, she decided to drive back to her apartment near the company. Unfortunately, on her way home, she encountered a truck running a red light. It was the middle of the night, the roads were scarce with cars and people, both cars were speeding, and so it turned into a tragic accident, flinging her into this godforsaken place.

Venomous Empress Reborn

# scumtorturing # rebirth She was a daughter of the general’s family and a gentle woman. She fell for Prince Ding and offered to be his wife. After supporting him for six years, she became his empress. After risking being a hostage in a foreign country, she returned five years later to find that she no longer had a place in his imperial harem. Lying in his arms, the new consort said with a sneer, “Sis, now that the country is stable, it’s time for you to die.” Her daughter died a tragic death and her son was removed as crown prince. The Shen family had been loyal, but they ended up being slaughtered. Shen Miao never thought that their marriage and mutual support all this while would end up being just an act Prince Ding put on! Prince Ding said, “On account that you’ve been with me for twenty years, I’ll allow you to die with your entire body intact. Now you may thank me and hang yourself to death.” Before she hung herself, Shen Miao made a resentful oath, “When I perish, I will haunt you day and night!” She was reborn as her fourteen year old self when the tragedies had yet to occur and her family was still intact. She was still the delicate and elegant daughter of a general’s family. Her relatives were evil, her cousin sisters were vicious and ruthless, and her aunties were eyeing her possessions. She had to protect her family, take revenge, and get back what belonged to her. In this life, she would be the last one standing! However, the Xie family’s young marquis, an unruly youth, pushed her up against the wall and said arrogantly, “Remember, the world belongs to you, and you belong to me!” The thirteen cities of You State… belong to you. The city of Dingyuan in Mobei… belongs to you. Yuzhou by the Yangtze River, the East Sea of Dingxi, the Green Lake of Lin’an, and Luoyang City… they all belong to you. If they all belong to me, what will you take, Xie Jingxing? Hmm… you. At first, he said impassively, “There has always been a clear distinction between the Shen and Xie family. For the Shen family’s daughter to suddenly show us goodwill, she must have ill intentions!” Then, he said calmly, “We're all on the same boat. Shen Miao, behave yourself. Who would have the audacity to force you into a marriage while I’m around?” After that, he said proudly, “Overthrowing an empire isn’t that hard. My dear, how shall we divide this great piece of land?” Finally, he waved his hand domineeringly. “Sweetheart, dividing them is too much work. Forget it! They’re all yours, and you are mine!” Shen Miao yelled, “Get out!” A domineering empress who was reborn and a young delinquent marquis. Both leads are righteous and they dote on each other.

Unlimited estates for rural beauty

Feng Xuxu, a 21st-century professor of agriculture and biology, was in secret the mastermind behind a five-star hotel. Running back and forth between the university and the hotel, it's no wonder she worked herself sick. One moment she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself in the body of a poor village girl who had just lost her mother and then her father. Fortunately, time-travel came with a perk, the almighty space ability. After toying with some seeds, she grew thousands of acres of high-yield grains and spent her leisure time cultivating flowers. Before she knew it, she had created a landscape of thousands of acres of flowers. Munching on fruit, she ended up with thousands of acres of orchards. When she craved some greens in the wintertime, she turned around to discover greenhouses covering thousands of acres. Feng Xuxu counted on her fingers: Spring Garden, Summer Garden, Autumn Garden, Winter Garden—not one more, not one less, four in total. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “This is all one needs in life.” Meanwhile, a certain devilishly charming man approached her with a sly smile, “Little Xuxu, how do you plan to deal with me?” Feng Xuxu was in disarray amidst the wind, realizing she had forgotten about one demon yet to be tamed. In this story, both male and female leads are strong, with the male lead being physically and mentally pure and devoted.

The General's Wife Wants to Leave

Experiencing a suffocating marriage with the man whom she was arranged to marry made Joanna want to leave him. But it was a failure as she died as the wife of the man who abandoned her and her son before they divorced. On the verge of her death, she made a wish to not encounter him again if there was a next life. She wished for the end of their fate only in this lifetime. She wanted to forget everything about him. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the room of the mansion of the man she just married. She was awakened by a dream that seemed to be a nightmare of her past life. She didn’t remember completely everything that had occurred in her past life and the dream was fragmented. But deep inside her heart, she only felt one thing. She was adamant about leaving him, to be far away from him. Therefore, she left his mansion just before she met him in person in the present lifetime. However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him. Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life? --- As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna. Otherwise, I would have used the other method to make you stop blabbering over the same, boring topic endlessly.” When he noticed the stubborn woman was about to prove herself to be stubborn, the man leaned forward in a swift movement, facing the woman’s stupefied face which was an inch away from his. “Continue to blabbering, don’t blame me if I apply my other method right now,” the man murmured above her breath, trailing his gaze from her quivering eyes to her lips before moving it back to her now widened eyes. --- *Cover doesn’t belong to the author.

Overall: It started out good, but with a severely unlikeable MC and a FL who, despite having all the tools she needs to be strong, continues to be a licensed, professional, bona fide, certified damsel in distress for no reason other than the fact that the author forgets things and has to highlight how incredibly awesome the ML is, it *severely* fell off for me. I regret ever spending a single coin on this novel. Detailed breakdown: Translation Quality: Poor. While the grammar isn't usually all that bad and it's mostly free from the MTL-level translation gaffes like misgendered characters, the names are *incredibly* inconsistent and weirdly formatted. Add to that the chapters, which skip around so you often have to wonder what exactly went wrong. For instance, it skipped from 791 to 992, then dropped back from 994 to 795, with chapters 792-794 completely missing. There are also chapters that look like the second half of a chapter got pasted into an entirely different chapter. Update Stability: Mediocre. See above about how the chapters get posted all willy nilly and shuffled around. Story Development: Mediocre and cliche. The author uses very repetitive plots on an extremely short cycle, all while managing to somehow feel like plots are artificially stretched out. It's also inconsistent. For example, the FMC has a space and sometimes the ML knows about it, while other times he doesn't know. The author even has the FMC bring the ML into it from time to time, even though she's constantly internally monologuing about how she can't let him know it exists. Character Design: Horrible. The ML is incredibly obsessed with the FMC to the point where she's not allowed to do anything at all for herself. At one point, he picks her up and carries her because she's not allowed to get blisters on her feet from walking, despite the FMC having grown up in a farming family. He's also obnoxiously jealous, to the point where he actively tries to prohibit her from spending time with her family and friends, but in an inconsistent manner. If the plot requires it, he's fine with it. Otherwise, he'll go so far as to physically restrain her from spending time even with her twin sister and parents. The FMC constantly throws herself into dangerous situations because she has a space, but then never uses the space at the critical moment, leading to a repeated kidnapping and hostage plot requiring the ML to swoop in and rescue her from her own stupidity. Yet at other times, she's incredibly intelligent, like when dealing with social situations and "inventing" technologies and policies to enrich the empire she transmigrated to. The FMC's father is *stupidly* filial, to the point where his parents and brothers/sisters-in-law have tried on numerous occasions to sell, murder, or burn his property and family to the ground, but he lets them off because "well we all survived, didn't we". Other than those three examples, the other characters are inconsistent in how they treat the FMC depending on whether the plot needs them to be friendly or hostile to her. And sometimes (okay, most times), the hostility is completely unreasonable and comes out of left field. World Background: Bog standard and cliche. If you've read one "modern woman transmigrates to distant past in a peasant farming family and becomes powerful" novel, you've read them all.
