Auspicious Blossoms and Trees

When Zuo Zuo opened her eyes again in a place of green hills and clear waters, she was happy. At last, she no longer had to fight tooth and nail just to survive in that fast-paced age where everything was instant. But when responsibility came crashing down on her, Zuo Zuo wished she could end her eagerly anticipated third rebirth. Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch. That rule applied in every world. Fine, she would shoulder the responsibility, and she could accept being unable to marry. But surely there was no problem with secretly asking someone to help her conceive? Otherwise, her old age would be miserable. If she fell ill, no one would bring her a cup of hot water. When she died, no one would offer her a funeral tablet, and afterward she would become a lonely ghost with no one to pay respects to her. For that reason alone, she had to have a child to look after her in old age. Surely in a place where filial piety was taken so seriously, no one would abuse their mother? Right, that was the perfect plan. And the baby had to be beautiful, so choosing the other parent was important. She would have to pick carefully. But... even if she picked carefully, there were limits. Sure, the greater the distance between them, the more beautiful the baby would be, but this was way too far. They were in different dimensions! What if she gave birth to a nonhuman? What? She had no choice? No refunds or exchanges? You've got to be kidding me! So I don't even get to choose my child's father? Heavens, let me be reborn a third time!
