Qin Jia lay on the tree, lost in thought.
This is an ancient locust tree. According to Squirrel Girl, it has existed for tens of thousands of years. Its history can be traced back to the time when Pangu separated heaven and earth.
Qin Jia didn't know Pangu, nor did she know how long tens of thousands of years was. All she knew was that she had been in this misty forest for a very, very long time since she was separated from her parents.
The forest was home to all sorts of strange and wonderful wild animals. She wandered from place to place before finally settling down at the old locust tree.
The old locust tree is tall and sturdy with lush branches and leaves. It blooms every spring and summer, and when the breeze blows, the petals flutter in the air, which is very beautiful.
Unfortunately, it's autumn now, and the locust trees aren't blooming.
Qin Jia turned over.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating a cluster of branches. Tender green leaves sprouted on the branches, their surfaces glistening with morning dew, round and lovely.
Qin Jia looked at the leaf closest to her, slowly stretched out her front paw, tore off two leaves and stuffed them into her mouth.
The locust tree leaves are fragrant and have a sweet taste, much better than the eucalyptus leaves from my hometown.
Qin Jia plucked a few more leaves.
She felt sleepy soon after finishing her meal. She closed her eyes, lazily basking in the morning sunlight, and drifted off to sleep.
In his dream, Qin Jia transformed into a giant monster.
Her limbs became exceptionally long and her skin was fair and smooth, a stark contrast to her original appearance.
The little squirrel girl hopped around her, saying, "Qin Jia, you've become a beautiful human."
Qin Jia had only heard of humans, but had never seen one. She asked, "Can I change back?"
Squirrel Girl said, "You can turn back, but you have to learn the spell first."
Qin Jia asked, "What incantation?"
Squirrel Sister: "When Grandma Locust Tree wakes up, ask her. Grandma knows everything."
In his dream, the old locust tree taught Qin Jia how to control his body.
The day after she mastered the transformation technique, she decided to go outside the forest to take a look.
Grandma Locust Tree warned her: "Some humans are very bad, you must be careful. Also, don't talk to men, it's easy to get into big trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jia woke up from his dream.
She was surprised to find that the forest had disappeared, replaced by an endless green grassland. At her feet was a pond; looking down, she saw her reflection—a human figure.
Qin Jia silently recited the incantation to turn back, and an old voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Child, you can only use the incantation 24 hours after leaving the forest. Good luck."
Qin Jia was stunned. "Then how am I supposed to get back?"
The voice answered her, "When you return to your original form, take a nap, and when you wake up, you will be back in the forest."
...
Qin Jia walked for a long time on the grassland.
She dragged her tired and hungry body from the deserted place to a sparsely populated village.
She sat under a big tree at the village entrance, picking green leaves from the branches to eat. The leaves were extremely bitter, but she forced herself to finish them to fill her stomach.
Passersby pointed and whispered about her, and one person even called her an idiot to her face. Qin Jia was too lazy to argue, so she silently climbed the tree, intending to have a good sleep.
Climbing a tree was difficult for the human figure; her limbs seemed to be controlled and wouldn't obey her commands.
As he was climbing, he lost his balance and fell.
Just when she thought she was about to make intimate contact with the earth, suddenly, someone caught her.
She stared intently.
It looks like a man.
The man put her down, and Qin Jia felt a wave of dizziness. She leaned against the tree trunk, her vision growing increasingly blurry.
Before losing consciousness, she thought dejectedly:
Why do I have bad luck even if I don't talk to a man?
-
The Bureau of Transmigration.
001 stares blankly at the animal in front of him.
Partner 321 frowned: "What is this thing?"
001 closed her eyes and searched, answering him: "A wild koala, estimated to be 500 years old, is the oldest living koala in the database."
321 continued, "Cause of death."
001 paused for a few seconds, then said, "Leaf poisoning."
321: "..."
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ten minutes later, 001 spoke up: "Boss, we're really short-staffed here, how about we make do with someone else?"
"When I brought her back, she was still alive, really, I swear!"
321 looked at the control panel in front of him with a "you're kidding me" expression.
In the romance novel group, eight out of ten worlds have collapsed. If they collapse any further, he and 001 will be recycled by the transmigration system and disappear from Earth forever.
321 was unwilling to give up. He looked at Qin Jia's information and pondered for a long time before finally relenting: "Okay, let's go with her."
001: "Then which world should we send her to?"
321: "Number 10, I guess."
001 confirmed again: "Is it the book 'Adorable Baby Falls From the Sky, Young Master Lu Pampers His Runaway Wife'?"
321 nodded, "Yes, this is the one. Let her start her mission five years in the future."
"Remember, don't send it to the wrong person."
001: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, 001 started the program.
Two minutes later.
"Oops, I sent the wrong time!"
"..."
"Boss, what do we do?!"
"..."
-
A giant ship sails on the calm sea.
Inside the VIP luxury suite, Qin Jia woke up from a long dream, looking around groggily at the furnishings, her mind flooded with memories that did not belong to her.
Amidst the chaos, a strange voice rang out overhead, and then, an illusion slowly unfolded before her eyes like a canvas.
[Hello host, welcome to the world of sweet romance novels. You are currently in a novel called "Adorable Baby Falls From the Sky, Young Master Lu Pampers His Runaway Wife."]
You are incredibly lucky to have transmigrated into the body of the female lead, Qin Jia. You will meet your true love, Young Master Lu, who will pamper you like a princess and give you a fairytale life.
Qin Jia was completely confused and interrupted the voice directly: "I don't want to be the female lead, I want to go home."
She closed her eyes and silently recited the spell to return to her original form. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes, and her body remained in human form, without any change.
[Host, you're done for. Stay here and complete the mission for a chance to awaken.]
Qin Jia didn't understand what "ga le" meant. At this moment, the illusion showed the whole process of her eating leaves and falling into a coma, and she finally understood what had happened.
"Can I return to the forest after completing the mission?"
Don't worry, it will definitely work.
What task do I need to do?
[Host, please close your eyes. Important plot information is about to be transmitted to you. Please load your save file.]
Qin Jia obediently closed his eyes and received a large amount of information in a short period of time.
She is currently in a story world, and is the female protagonist of this story, also named Qin Jia.
The original owner was born into a wealthy family and had a younger brother who was two years younger than her. Her brother was intelligent and loved by the family. She, on the other hand, was the one who was neglected.
Having been deprived of love for a long time, she developed a sensitive and fragile personality. Although she never lacked food or clothing in her life, she always felt empty inside.
In the year after graduating from university, the original owner of this body joined her family's company under her parents' arrangement, starting from the bottom while concealing her identity. Due to her outstanding work performance, her parents began to treat her differently, and their estranged parent-child relationship gradually warmed up.
The turning point came at a cruise ship party.
The original owner accompanied her boss to a cocktail party, where her boss, overcome with lust, slipped an aphrodisiac into her drink.
After taking the Chinese medicine, in order to avoid her boss, she accidentally entered the male protagonist's room and had a one-night stand with him.
A few weeks later, she became pregnant.
When her family found out about her pregnancy, she was once again plunged into despair, becoming a disgrace to the family. Her parents gave her some money and kicked her out of the house.
The original owner took the money abroad, gave birth to the child alone, and raised him to adulthood.
A few years later, due to a job change, she returned to China with her four-year-old son.
By chance, she encountered the mysterious man with whom she had once had a relationship, and with the help of her child, she found a happy love.
Apart from her and the male protagonist, the other characters in the story are not doing very well.
The younger brother, whom the parents were so proud of, went astray and squandered the family fortune. Later on, they relied entirely on the male lead for food. The female supporting character who tripped her up had everything go wrong, and in the end, she lost face and her job, and her life became a mess.
[Host, how's it going? See how lucky you are? Everyone else transmigrates into a book as a villainous supporting character, but you're the female lead right from the start, with a protagonist's halo that's off the charts.]
[If you just follow my instructions, you'll soon become a winner in life!]
In the Misty Forest, Qin Jia heard Grandma Locust Tree tell a story about reincarnation. Only when a wish remains unfulfilled will a person repeatedly experience tribulations.
She felt that her coming here, becoming a character in the story, was roughly due to this cause and effect.
As he pondered, the voice rang out again, even sounding somewhat urgent: [Host, what are you still hesitating for? If you wait any longer, the effects of the medicine will wear off!]
Qin Jia was taken aback. "?"
A restless feeling surged through her body, and soon her head began to spin, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She looked around, picked up a bottle of water from the table, unscrewed the cap, and drank it.
After drinking the water, I felt much better.
Qin Jia looked at the bottle in her hand, wondering why she didn't find it unfamiliar.
This is clearly something from another world.
[Host, for the sake of the mission, while you were asleep, we used technological means to help you catch up on the knowledge of this world.]
So that's how it is.
After explaining, the mechanical voice urged her to complete the task: [Host, the male lead has gone back to his room. Go find him now.]
Qin Jia recalled information about "one-night stands" in her mind, and the more she learned, the more hesitant she became.
In this world, men and women can only have babies together after marriage; "one-night stands" are not something to be proud of.
The original owner had a bad day after getting involved with a man without being married. She was kicked out of her family and had to raise her baby alone.
Qin Jia knew all too well what it was like to be without family. Even after many years, she would still often think of her parents in the middle of the night.
She felt that if she had a choice, the original owner would definitely choose her family, not that stranger.
Qin Jia got up from the chair, slowly walked to the bedside, took off her shoes, pulled back the quilt, and lay down on the soft bed.
"No rush." She pulled the covers over herself and said slowly, "I'm tired, I'll sleep for a while."
...
An hour later.
Looking at the woman on the bed with a flushed face, 001 couldn't help but ask, "Host, did you sleep well? Can we do the mission now?"
The person on the bed rolled over and casually loosened the bow tie on their collar. "Wait a little longer."
"Sleep for a while before going."
Looking at Qin Jia, who had fallen asleep again, 001 couldn't help but start to question the meaning of life.
A normal person would experience the effects of that medication within half an hour. How could she possibly fall asleep?!
Two hours later.
"Host, it's time to get up. If you miss tonight, it will be difficult for you to have any more interaction with the male lead."
His answer was long, even breaths and the sound of waves crashing outside the window.
Three hours later.
"Host, host..."
"..."
Five hours later.
System 001 looked at the night outside, feeling frustrated and preparing to revert to a previous state. Suddenly, there was a movement on the bed. He watched as Qin Jia lifted the covers, sat up, and slowly stretched.
By this time, the blush on her face had long since faded, and her skin was porcelain white, like a peeled egg, clear and beautiful, making it impossible to look away.
001 started the program and hurriedly urged Qin Jia: "Host, the male lead lives next door to you. His door is broken and unlocked. You should go over there quickly."
"It's not too late!"
Qin Jia walked casually toward the door, but a voice in her head reminded her to straighten her clothes. She stopped, looked down at the loose ties, and, as if possessed, reached out and tied a pretty bow.
The corridor was brightly lit, but it was empty as far as the eye could see; there was no one there.
Qin Jia walked to the next room, pushed open the door, and went in quite naturally.
In the room, the man who was typing on the keyboard stopped and looked at her.
The system was thrilled the moment the two locked eyes, as if victory was within reach.
A strange woman suddenly barged into the room. Lu Tingzhou frowned and said coldly, "Who are you?"
Qin Jia shifted her gaze from the man's face to the strawberry cake beside him.
The aroma of strawberries mixed with the scent of cream lingered around her nose, and Qin Jia couldn't help but swallow. After a moment's thought, she replied, "Your wife five years from now."
"I've finished answering…" She looked up at him, her amber eyes sparkling. "Can you reward me with a piece of cake?"
Seeing that he didn't react, Qin Jia continued to describe: "It's on your left, the one with strawberries on it."
Lu Tingzhou paused for two seconds, then nodded.
A minute later, Qin Jia left Lu Tingzhou's room carrying a porcelain plate of strawberry cake.
001, which was suspended in the air, was instantly petrified.
Is that all?
Even if the female lead has a brainstem deficiency, shouldn't the domineering male lead still have some reaction when he sees her?
Shouldn't he have stopped her, questioned her carefully, and then... well, you know?
As a transmigration system that has stored tens of thousands of romance novels, 001 experienced a sense of frustration for the first time.
Experience told him that the male protagonist wouldn't give up so easily. He didn't rush back with Qin Jia, and instead switched the perspective to the male protagonist's room.
Inside the room, the man released the mouse, unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, and looked thoughtfully toward the door.
001 thought smugly to herself: Ha, men! They were definitely attracted to the female lead!
Next, he will definitely call his secretary and ask her to investigate someone.
He can recite all his lines.
The next second, Lu Tingzhou indeed made a call, but not on his cell phone, but on the cruise ship's internal line.
"Hello, 302, could you please send another piece of cake over? Yes, strawberry cake again."
system:???
