Chapter 1
Late summer afternoon.
The wind was hot.
The cicadas and frogs kept making noises.
Jiang Mianmian slept very well and then felt a little hungry, so she woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw a woman with a round face smiling at her.
"Baby is awake, hungry huh?"
The big-faced woman picked her up and skillfully lifted up her clothes.
She reflexively opened her mouth and sucked hard.
The process was smooth and they coordinated very well.
As Jiang Mianmian swallowed, she thought to herself.
She had transmigrated into this body mysteriously for a month now. At first she couldn't see anything clearly. A baby's eyes don't work very well and everything looked blurry.
Later her vision improved somewhat and she felt very disappointed.
It was a very ordinary family. The house was simple, with a stone bed and some basic farming tools...
Her luck with this transmigration was a bit mediocre.
Fortunately this body's Mom was very gentle and gave her a sense of security.
Her looks were plain, with a very big, round face, or maybe that was just Jiang Mianmian's perspective looking up at her while nursing.
After suckling for a while, she got tired, like the feeling of keep sucking on a straw when the drink was already gone, exhausted, so she stopped.
Mom picked her up, rocked her gently, and stroked her back lightly, making her feel very comfortable. Although she wasn't full yet, she started to feel sleepy again.
The door creaked open, letting in a gust of hot air.
Jiang Mianmian woke up alertly and opened her eyes again, her head still resting on Mom's shoulder.
Then she was taken into another embrace.
It was her Dad.
She knew from the smell, there was a herbal scent.
Lying in a different embrace, she became energetic again.
She tried hard to keep her eyes open to get a good look at her Dad. Again, she only had the lethal chin-up angle, but she got an impression that he was good-looking.
Her Dad had an unexpectedly outstanding appearance.
Long black hair, expressive eyebrows, a tall nose.
Wearing coarse cloth clothes, yet he had an indescribable refined temperament.
When he entered the room, it instantly felt brighter.
She didn't know if she looked more like her Mom or Dad. Girls should take after their Dads more, she hoped silently.
As usual, she tried her best to listen in on her parents' conversation, wanting to find out more useful information.
For this past month she had just ate, pooped, and slept. When she blacked out, she only knew that she had a Dad and Mom, older brothers and sisters, but hadn't uncovered any other news or received any special abilities...
"Has Mianmian been good today, did she give you any trouble?"
"She's been very good, much easier than the previous two. It's just that my milk supply is low, so she's still thin."
"Why are you home from work so early today?"
"Someone stole medicinal materials, the superior was furious and said he would crack down, so we came back first."
When Jiang Mianmian heard about stolen medicinal materials, her ears perked up. She wanted to know if there was more to it, if her Dad would get into trouble or implicated in some way.
Then she heard Mom ask softly: "Did you get caught taking some? I told you not to take any, don't take it!"
Jiang Mianmian: ...(⊙▽⊙)???
My Dad looks so handsome, how could he do something like this? What kind of plot twist is this?
"No way, I know what I'm doing. I only took a third, most was taken by the higher-ups."
"It's still dangerous, what if something happens!"
The two kept whispering, discussing stealing tips??
Jiang Mianmian's heart was churning, unwilling to believe her own Dad was that kind of person!
He looks so refined, who would have thought he does this kind of thing??
Jiang Mianmian's heart was still uneasy.
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Followed by knocking.
"Knock knock knock."
