The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: You’re Really Not My Parents

Zhang Li, 25, is a professional illustrator and a lifelong shut-in. Her ideal life is to curl up in an air-conditioned room and eat watermelon until the end of the world.

She has one almost-not-a-flaw: she was born with the bizarre ability to make everyone in the world want to be her parents. The moment she makes eye contact with anyone, their parental instincts go into overdrive, and they practically want to take her home and raise her as their own daughter on the spot. So she always wears sunglasses when she goes out, does all her socializing online, and has kept her heart closed for years. Even her first love died with the words, “Sweetie, what's wrong? It's me, your dad.”

She thought this was how her life would go forever.

Until one afternoon, when she stepped outside to take out the trash.

Then everything went black. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a strange underground space deep in the Changbai Mountains, one that looked suspiciously like an ancient tomb. In front of her stood a stranger in a blue hoodie, his gaze cool and detached.

The good news: the guy looked like he could handle himself, didn't hurt her, and even led her out of that creepy place.

The bad news: she had transmigrated to 2004. She had no phone, sunglasses, or hat, and her body had shrunk, making her look barely legal. On top of that, a whole bunch of people wanted to be her parents.

“…”

Someone immediately let out a furious “Fuck!”

Ping, Xie, Hei, Hua, and Pang: “Kids shouldn't swear!”

P.S. I'll revise the story as I write, so some parts might not quite connect.
