    Chapter 1 Countdown to Transmigration 1 "Mom, Erbao is hungry and crying terribly. Can you give me some millet? I'll make him some rice porridge." The little boy carried a crying baby on his back, his dirty little hands rubbing nervously. "Hold on! Crying, crying, crying all day long. Get him out of here and don't bother me. They're both like debt collectors." The woman yelled impatiently and turned to continue sleeping. A tear rolled down the boy's cheek as he silently carried his crying brother and struggled to open the door and leave. Li Qingyun suddenly woke up and sat up. Why was she having this dream again? It felt so real, like a heart-wrenching experience. Was it really just a dream? Could it really be a sign of transmigration? As a novel enthusiast, she had read many transmigration and rebirth novels and fantasized about what it would be like if she transmigrated. She never imagined that these things would actually happen to her. Three days ago, Li Qingyun accidentally broke the jade pendant her grandmother had left her, unexpectedly gaining a spatial dimension. From that day on, she dreamt every night of scenes related to the child: not having enough to eat or wear, endless chores, and a biological mother who was worse than a stepmother. Life was truly more bitter than bitter herbs. She wore tattered clothes, her face was never clean, and she had to save food for her younger brother because she was always hungry.
