Quick transmigration
World One:
Xie Changlin was a renowned noble lady, skilled at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also excellent at managing accounts and running a household. Then she met a woman who had transmigrated into her world. The woman told her all sorts of novel ideas, and Xie Changlin supported her business, investing quite a bit of money. In the end, the transmigrator took Xie Changlin’s hands and urged her to escape her boudoir and become a businesswoman with her.
Xie Changlin wasn’t crazy, so she refused. The transmigrator looked at her as though she’d regret it, then left.
Xie Changlin followed the usual path, marrying a young nobleman from a family of equal standing. Her husband was ambitious, and her household was peaceful. Her son passed the palace exams as a third-place graduate while still young. She was extremely satisfied with her life.
Then, in middle age, she ran into the transmigrator at a banquet.
The transmigrator had become a government merchant. She told Xie Changlin all sorts of stories about traveling far and wide, then asked if she regretted her choice.
Xie Changlin, now a first-rank Lady of Honor: ?
World Two:
Yu Ling was a second-generation immortal, raised in a sect and doted on by her senior brothers and sisters. She wasn’t especially diligent about cultivation, and she hadn’t suffered much in her first eighteen years. Then a junior sister came to the sect and looked at her with exasperation, saying, “How can you not go down the mountain and gain experience?”
Naive Yu Ling believed her, but they ran into a powerful demon on the road and nearly had their souls beaten out of them.
She returned to the sect in tears and hid behind her senior brother whenever anything happened.
Later, the junior sister’s swordsmanship became exceptional, completely surpassing that of Yu Ling, who relied on medicinal pills to cultivate. After winning the tournament and basking in glory, she asked Yu Ling if she regretted it.
Yu Ling, who was carefree and content at the sect: “?”
World Three:
Lin Tang was a young lady from a wealthy Beijing family. Assuming nothing went wrong, she would marry into a family of equal standing and become a wealthy society wife.
But her resilient, delicate-looking roommate told her she needed to be independent and support herself with her own two hands.
Lin Tang thought she had a point. Every day, she shamelessly asked her famous investor brother which stocks to buy, then invested all of her own pocket money too.
Later, after making a fortune, she excitedly shared the news with her roommate, who gave her a look that said, “You’re hopeless.”
Ten years after graduation, her roommate had successfully started a business and become a famous entrepreneur, gaining both wealth and prestige. She asked Lin Tang, now busy raising her children at home, if she regretted it.
Lin Tang, whose net worth had long since landed her on the Forbes Rich List: “?”
