Xiaomi's Little Life in the 1960s

My new story, Nationally Mandated Gaming [Spiritual Qi Revival], is now open for preorders. Please add it to your favorites!

Li Xiaomi was born into the Li family, so she knew from childhood that she wasn't really one of them. She had been stolen as a newborn!

Eighteen years later, her biological parents were about to be sent down to the countryside. The people who had swapped her with their own daughter hurriedly sent her back. To put it nicely, they wanted the two families to reunite. Ahem, to put it bluntly, they couldn't bear to part with their own child.

Li Wanrou cried her eyes out, then promptly issued a statement cutting ties with her adoptive parents.

Li Xiaomi shrugged. She'd been raised by her grandfather anyway, so it didn't make much difference who her parents were.

There were just two things she couldn't put up with. First, the place she'd been sent was so cold she could barely stand it.

Second, while she was scraping by on coarse food, the people who had stolen her still expected to live in comfort. What a nice little fantasy.

Note: This story is set in a fictional world.

Blurb for a forthcoming story:

Faced with an explosion of Spiritual Qi, the world saves itself by compressing the energy into a series of games. The Spiritual Qi inside the games is released into reality bit by bit as players win...

Lu Yizhen is a student who loves studying and has a clear plan for her future. But a series of events before the college entrance exams shatter her peaceful life.

New classes, new teachers, full-dive gaming pods...

Before entering the game, Lu Yizhen swears she won't play. She's only there to go through the motions. She has to focus on studying.

After entering the game, Lu Yizhen swears that from now on, the game is her second home, and no one can stop her from playing.

The environment is so lifelike, and the plants and animals have already mutated. She has to stay and study it properly.

Before Lu Yizhen starts playing, everyone else says: "Fight monsters above your level? No way. Run!"

After Lu Yizhen starts playing, everyone else says: "Hurry! The monsters' lair is just ahead. There must be treasure inside. Charge!"
