Who could have imagined that my life, Lin Yue’s, would turn into such an absurd “comedy version of a tragic drama”? In my previous life, I was worked like a “24-hour, no-days-off beast of burden” in the village: feeding the cows with one hand and pulling weeds with the other, then squeezing in time to add firewood to the stove. My only joy was tinkering with wild-vegetable snacks. Then, one sleepy moment, I mistook a red light at an intersection for the town’s famous tomato-and-egg pancake, and with a bang, my life was over.
When I opened my eyes again, I’d been reborn straight into “hard mode.” I was born into a family that favored sons over daughters, and the moment I came into the world, the whole family turned as cold as a room with the power cut. My status was lower than the chickens: by age three, I had to sweep the yard and feed the pigs, and if I was even a little slow, I got slapped. The only warmth I knew came from the roasted sweet potatoes my mother secretly slipped me. After she died, I became even more of a “punching bag and leftover-food receptacle.”
Just as my father was about to sell me off as a child bride, famine “rescued” me first. My own father abandoned me by the river. Before I passed out from hunger, I was still cursing fate for being unfair. When I woke again, I was lying in a cave, where I met Lin Yun, disguised as an “older brother.” She brought me a bowl of “comforting porridge with the bottom showing,” gave me the name “Lin Yue,” and said she wanted me to live like a bright, shining moon.
The most amazing part came later, when we found a little wolf cub named Huihui. I thought I’d landed a “future hunting expert,” but the little guy was as soft as a cloud and couldn’t even chase rabbits. Still, wild rabbits showed up every day as “thank-you gifts.” Turns out Huihui’s mother was repaying a debt of gratitude!
Now I follow Lin Yun, with “good-for-nothing” pet Huihui by my side. We dig up wild vegetables and dodge trouble by day, then roast sweet potatoes and talk about the future at night. Life is hard, but it’s much warmer than it was in my previous life. After all, who could turn down a big sister who protects you and lets you cuddle a wolf cub?
Not bad, mainly because the front is not very good
