Xu Qiaoqiao transmigrated into a book.

She became a doomed side character in a famine-era novel, sent to a family in town as a child bride and fated to die before the age of three.

During the great famine, the villagers dug up wild greens, stripped bark from trees, and ate clay. They were so hungry they even resorted to eating people.

The dozen or so members of the Xu family were about to starve to death.

Newborn Xu Qiaoqiao: [Grandma, don’t panic. There’s grain in the mountains behind our village, enough to feed everyone.]

The next day, the Xu family matriarch led people into the mountains to dig up grain and feed the whole village.

Once life got better, the Xu family’s second son started causing trouble.

Xu Qiaoqiao: [Your wife has an old flame, and you’ve been raising another man’s son for six years... You’ve known all along, you cuckold, hehe.]

That very day, Old Xu took out the horsewhip he hadn’t used in years and whipped the man until he fell to his knees, weeping.

Once life got better, a matchmaker brought a beautiful young woman to marry the third uncle. Xu Qiaoqiao: [Wow, isn’t she the heroine from the novel? Uncle, first come, first served. Hurry up and win her over!]

Half a year later, the city-born male lead from the novel came looking for her, his face stricken and eyes nearly popping out of his head. “Jiaojiao, whose child are you holding? Why is your belly so big?”

Xu Qiaoqiao nestled in her fragrant, soft third aunt’s arms: [Get lost, male lead! Who said you could call her Jiaojiao?]

The Xu family’s life kept getting better. Then people from town came to buy Xu Qiaoqiao as a child bride, offering several hundred coins.

The whole family grabbed their brooms and chased them off.

Get out, get out! We wouldn’t sell our Qiaoqiao even if the immortal great-grandma herself came asking!
