Memories of an unknown past

In the middle of a beautiful garden, under the shade of plum trees, a mother and daughter enjoy the warm morning sun.

With the arrival of spring the trees are in full bloom, coloring the landscape with a lively pink tone.

A thin layer of fallen petals has already formed on the grass, which together with the small wildflowers perfectly complement this magnificent view.

The lovely mature woman patiently feeds her little offspring some cakes.

She has a kind and calm temperament, but her sickly beauty makes any man who sees her want to care for her like a delicate vase.

Next to her is a very cute little girl. The smile on her face has never disappeared as her little hands play with the flowers.

The happy laughter of the mother and daughter turn this scene into a dream painting that any artist would like to immortalize in their works.

- Little Mei, tell your mother what your dreams are for the future.

The girl tilted her face while resting it on her little hand. Mimicking which she thought made her look like a mature adult.

- Mmm, but didn't the father say that little Mei must marry a prince in the future and there is no need to think about other things. The teacher also said that my duty is to support our Qian family.

- Don't let your father's ideas cloud your thoughts. No one can decide your future, not even me.

- I don't understand what you want to tell me Mother. But little Mei has a dream that she hasn't told anyone.

- Oh, tell me what my little angel could be hiding?

The little girl did not respond to her mother, but ran through the garden in search of curious people. Upon seeing that no one was spying, she approached her mother and said with some nervousness.

- If you promise not to scold little Mei, I will tell you.

The woman took the girl in her arms, giving her a warm hug.

- Of course, I am very happy that my little girl has her own thoughts.

The girl smiled at her mother's pampering and told her little secret.

- When I sneaked to the kitchen to steal candy, little Mei heard the maids say that mom is sick and has little time left.

The woman's expression changed with her daughter's words, but she controlled her emotions quickly to avoid being discovered.

- Don't believe their lies, maids like to gossip and rarely tell the truth. Mom is very healthy and little Mei should not worry.

The girl did not doubt her mother and continued with the dialogue.

- I know, but what if mom really gets sick in the future little Mei will be very sad. So I decided that I will become a great doctor in the future so that I can cure mom at any time.

The woman's eyes were already a little red. The real reason for her weakness is not an illness but the abilities of her husband.

The patriarch of the Qian family possesses a class that is capable of absorbing the vitality of other people to become stronger.

And that is why, using his power, he gathered a select group of concubines belonging to warrior families or with special talents related to life.

But the duty of these women is not to bear children for the family, but to give their vitality.

Little Mei was an accident and her birth was unplanned.

The Qian family accepted her existence because they hope that she can inherit her mother's rare ability and even improve it under the family's superior genes.

Which makes it the perfect tool for getting married into the main family. She can be used to extract vitality and give birth to more children with her talent.

And if for some reason she fails to inherit a useful class, she can still be used as a bargaining chip with other families, after all her status as the patriarch's daughter has some value.

For this reason, her father began to cultivate her from a very young age so that she would be faithful to the family.

But her mother secretly intervened and did not let him be brainwashed. Preventing that her daughter from becoming a canary caged by the family.

But the Qian family is full of experts and her actions have already been exposed. That's why the servants talk about her imminent death.

- Little Mei, promise mom that in the future you will leave here and you will find a way to fulfill your dreams.

- I promise, little Mei will be the best doctor in the world and will keep mom healthy forever.

---------------------------

Nostalgic memories that do not belong to me returned like a dream after losing consciousness.

A doctor...

Although I do not deny that I have some knowledge about it, my specialty is fighting, not curing.

In my past life I had a special physique that prevented me from getting sick, and in case of injuries or poisoning I only had to absorb some spiritual treasures to be as good as new.

This is why my medical knowledge is very inferior compared to other cultivators.

Now that I have lost everything it may be interesting to take a new path.

- Qian Mei, fifteen years old, born in the eastern continent and an elite first-year student.

A female voice brought me out of my thoughts.

Until now I realize that I am no longer in that boy's arms.

- You look much better than I expected girl. If it weren't for that boy you would have died in less than half an hour.

A beautiful woman with dark skin and silver hair stood in front of me, her ears were strangely elongated.

I have never seen a similar human, she must be of some unknown race.

She wears a long white robe that covers her entire body, but even if she tries to hide her figure, her chest and butt are slightly marked, giving her a seductive appearance.

What envy, even after being reborn my chest is still average

- Your body had several superimposed curses, it is a miracle that you woke up after only a few hours. I have to admit that your class [Dryad] is among the best support classes.

She spoke to me while checking the strange artifacts next to the bed.

- Ordinary people do not have so much vitality, after being attacked by curses of illness, weakness, attrition, broken mind and magic drain, at least six months of rest are needed.

She made me drink fruit-flavored medicine, unexpectedly delicious.

In the old world they all tasted bitter. My disciples would cry with joy if all medicines tasted like this.

- But you are almost recovered, you only need one night of sleep to return to your best state. You're lucky girl, the exams start tomorrow and you can attend without problems.

Exams? Dryad? Vitality?

There are many things I don't understand about this world and my current situation.

Let's try to organize the available information.

According to this girl's memories, my mother is a [Flower Mage] and my father is a [Life Devourer]

The Qian family hopes that I will awaken a high-level class and be able to serve the family.

My class is a [Dryad] but I have no idea what it is or its abilities.

But from the words this woman, this class has the ability to give me a lot of vitality and that means trouble.

Most likely, the Qian family will use me as a supplement for their heirs just like my mother.

The good news is that the mandatory recruitment allowed me to escape and gives me three years to prepare.
