This book is also known as "Stop It, I Won't Raise a Love Gu" and "The General's Abandoned Daughter Is Not to Be Trifled With"
Blurb:
Tao Wei was born into the Tao family with memories of her previous life. Her father was a renowned General of the Cavalry, famed for his achievements in battle.
She was born on the same day as Xing'er, the daughter of her father's benefactor. During a disastrous defeat, the enemy gave chase. Her father spent the entire time protecting his benefactor's orphaned daughter, barely sparing Tao Wei a glance.
Afterward, her parents returned to the capital with their benefactor's daughter to report their success, leaving their own child behind on the frontier to be raised as an illegitimate daughter. They said they would come back for her once she was grown.
From then on, Tao Wei had no family in her world.
Tao Wei developed a strange illness. When she slept, she stopped breathing and lay completely motionless, just like a corpse.
The physician said it was a "stiffness illness" with no cure.
Those around her felt sorry for her tragic fate: her parents did not love her, and she was also gravely ill.
She comforted them: "It's fine. I just sleep very deeply."
In truth, she was not ill. Her soul simply left her body, a power she had brought with her when she transmigrated.
By leaving her body, she learned all sorts of things.
One day, she left her body to investigate something urgent. She hid her body in the branches of a lush tree and tied it to the trunk with a rope to keep it from falling.
But when she returned, she discovered that her body was gone.
"Which heartless bastard stole my body?!"
Tao Wei hurriedly searched for it and found her physical body in the mountains, with a familiar figure standing beside it.
"Isn't that the handsome Nanjiang Gu master?!"
She had once spied on this Gu master and learned that he excelled at controlling insects, administering poison, tracking, and making medicine.
At the thought of countless tiny insects under his control, Tao Wei felt as though the sky had fallen. She could almost feel ants crawling over and biting her all over; her back tingled, and she shuddered with horror.
No way. Even if a man who plays with bugs is handsome, I still can't do it!
Tao Wei immediately returned to her body and opened her eyes. Her gaze met the man's pale red eyes, full of surprise and confusion. Her obsidian-black pupils reflected a handsome face with striking features and an exotic charm.
"What are you trying to do to my body?!" Tao Wei demanded, not letting his looks distract her.
The man froze for a moment. After his shock, he revealed a brilliant yet detached smile. "I confirmed you were dead, and then you suddenly came back to life. Ha! How interesting! The heart Gu I raised was just like that."
