Updates at six or nine in the evening. If there's no update, something came up that day, and I'll explain in the comments.

Anti-piracy protection is not enabled for now. If I enable it later, I'll give a week's notice.

Thank you, everyone!

Blurb One:

Luo Zhu transmigrated into the body of a widow, and her parents wanted to sell her off again.

She took three minutes to absorb everything about the original owner's life.

An abusive father, a biased mother, a parasitic older brother, and a poor, miserable her.

War had raged for years, and the people were suffering. Before she was fourteen, the original owner was sold to her husband. Two years after she gave birth to a daughter, her husband died in an accident.

The original owner struggled to support her mother-in-law and daughter. Seeing a widow and an orphan with no one to stand up for them, her parents wanted to sell her off again.

The timid original owner didn't want to be sold, but had no idea how to escape, so she jumped into a river and killed herself.

Biased mother: Don't think that trying to kill yourself will get you out of this engagement. We've already taken the betrothal money. You're going whether you like it or not!

Abusive father: If you don't go, I'll beat you to death.

Parasitic older brother: Little sister, you're a daughter of the Luo family. You don't think we'd treat you badly, do you?

Luo Zhu stared coldly at the three vicious figures, raised her kitchen knife, and swung at them without a word.

The three stumbled back in fright. "What are you doing?!"

Luo Zhu ground her teeth. "Killing you!"

Blurb Two:

Luo Zhu transmigrated into the body of a widow and rescued a child, bringing her home.

The child was filthy and disheveled, sallow and skinny, dressed in ragged clothes and barefoot.

Luo Zhu: Are you a boy?

The child shook her head.

Luo Zhu: Do you have any family?

The little girl shook her head.

Luo Zhu: What's your name?

The little girl shook her head.

Luo Zhu: A girl can't go without a name. I'll give you one. You'll take my surname. Today is the Winter Solstice, so how about Luo Dong?

The little girl dropped to her knees. "Master, from now on, Luo Dong belongs to you."

Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the shopping mall.

Luo Zhu was overjoyed. Heaven must have sent me here because it couldn't bear to see me suffer. Hahaha!

With the shopping mall, I won't have to eat bran and weeds anymore.

With the shopping mall, I can take things from inside and sell them for money.

Luo Zhu was already prepared to build a fortune.

Then she discovered that she had to earn money to spend in the shopping mall, and that resale was forbidden and purchases were limited.

Looking at the skinny little Luo Dong, Luo Zhu rolled up her sleeves. "I refuse to believe I can't keep you fed."

Years later, Luo Zhu looked at Luo Dong, who was still so tiny, completely baffled.

Luo Zhu: Have I been depriving you of food and drink?

Luo Dong: No.

Luo Zhu: Then why are you still so skinny?

Luo Dong: Maybe... you've been feeding me too much.
