Chapter 1 First Visit to the Magical World
Shi Qi's fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, like a pianist playing a complex symphony. Only when the eastern sky began to lighten did she stand up and stretch.
The project is finally finished. I wonder how much bonus I'll get. New Year's Day is almost here, and I heard that in faraway Northeast China, there's a 180cm tall brother with eight-pack abs who's carrying me while skiing. That's the kind of happiness older sisters deserve!
Stepping out of the office, the city's hustle and bustle had been replaced by the tranquility of the early morning. While pondering her next move, Shi Qi dragged her slightly heavy steps through the deserted streets back to her somewhat dilapidated neighborhood.
She stopped downstairs, not because she was tired, but because the scene before her forced her to stop.
A young girl sat astride the balcony railing, her eyes brimming with tears. Her face was contorted with anger as a heated argument with her family shattered the morning's tranquility.
During the argument, words like "marriage" and "having children" could be faintly heard, clearly indicating that this was another soul driven to despair by family pressure to get married.
With increasing pressure in modern life, more and more young people are unwilling to get married. They are already struggling to make a living, and the thought of adding the burden of family on top of that is exhausting.
Shi Qi expressed her complete understanding, after all, she herself was a single warrior constantly fighting on the front lines of pressuring people to get married. However, arguing and making a fuss are one thing, but one should never joke about their own life.
Always quick to offer advice, Shi Qi immediately stepped forward, about to speak and offer words of comfort. However, at that very moment, the girl's figure suddenly swayed backward and fell from the dilapidated balcony.
Like a lifeless leaf, it plummeted rapidly toward the ground under the relentless pull of gravity.
Shi Qi's pupils constricted. She wanted to dodge, but her body seemed frozen, unable to move. Oh no! My project bonus, my 180cm tall brother, my…
Before she could think, the impact of the heavy object plunged her world into darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, she felt an unprecedented warmth and moisture. Her vision was blurry, and the rhythmic sound of flowing liquid echoed in her ears.
There was also a gentle, indistinct voice, as if coming from a distant place. She tried to focus her gaze, only to find herself enveloped in a space filled with liquid.
This wasn't a hospital, nor was it anywhere she was familiar with. She struggled to raise her hand to touch her surroundings, but all she felt was a slippery membrane.
Listening to the intermittent, gentle voice, Shi Qi gradually pieced together a fact—she had transmigrated, and at this moment, she was inside her mother's womb.
This is truly unbelievable. Could it be that God saw the regret in her death and was making it up to her? She wondered what kind of family she would be reborn into. She couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Shi Qi silently prayed in her heart: "This devout Buddhist will dedicate her life to vegetarianism, chanting Buddhist scriptures, doing good deeds, and saving young girls from danger. May God bless me and let me be a rich and beautiful woman in this life! I want to experience the joys of being a wealthy woman!!!"
……
A clear and loud howl pierced the air, and a burst of joyful cheers immediately erupted around them: "It's a girl! It's a girl! The city lord's wife has given birth to a girl!"
"The city lord...madam? That sounds like someone of high status! Could my prayers have actually worked?" Shi Qi thought excitedly.
Suddenly, a series of hurried and chaotic door opening sounds rang out, and a moment later, Shi Qi felt herself being carefully picked up.
She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and the first thing she saw was a face with well-defined features, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle temperament.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were now glistening with tears of excitement, and her mouth was moving incessantly, as if she were saying something.
My God, is that Dad? He's so handsome! Looks like the "rich, beautiful, and successful" thing is settled. I'm so grateful to God! Shi Qi was overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, forming a barely perceptible arc.
Immediately afterward, a gasp rang in my ears: "She smiled! She smiled! Jingya, look at our precious daughter, she smiled at me!"
Then, a weak but gentle voice rang out: "Quick, let me see!" It was my mother's voice. Could I finally see her in person? Her voice was so beautiful; she must be a great beauty.
Shi Qi tried harder to lift her heavy eyes, but ultimately couldn't resist the overwhelming instinct. Her eyelids gradually closed, and she drifted into a deep sleep.
On the magical continent, in the city of Dawn Moon, one of the eight main cities of the Aurora Empire, lies the outer four cities of the Aurora Empire. It is located adjacent to the first war zone where humans and beastmen clashed, forming the empire's impregnable second line of defense.
At that very moment, the City Lord's Mansion in Xiyue City was bustling with excitement and joy. The eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion had been born!
From the esteemed master to the lowest servants, everyone was immersed in indescribable joy. Cheers rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire mansion.
The servants in the manor were busy moving between the courtyards, preparing a sumptuous feast to celebrate the birth of the young lady.
Smoke curls from the kitchen as chefs meticulously prepare delicious dishes; gardeners prune the flowers in the garden, making the entire courtyard even more beautiful and charming.
The servants, responsible for cleaning, wiped every room spotless to welcome the guests who came to offer their congratulations.
On this day, people came and went from the city lord's mansion in an endless stream. People who knew her and those who didn't came with gifts to offer their sincerest blessings to the newborn young lady.
On this day, the stars in the night sky of Xiyue City seemed to shine even brighter, as if celebrating the arrival of this little life.
