A young girl lying on a wooden bed with a worn-out mattress opened her eyes slowly. His eyes narrowed trying to adapt to the light entering the pupil and a few seconds later, his frowning forehead found that he was lying in a small, slightly dirty room with spider webs that filled the wall or roof that had no ceiling.
The young girl scrunched her forehead more and more because she did not recognize where she was.
Where'sisthis? Wasn't he dead in a car crash? Why is he now in this broken house that almost collapsed?.
The girl named Miao Adelia, a woman who works in a food and beverage product company, she spends her time working to provide for her life because she does not have parents or relatives.
Since childhood he did not know his parents because he had lived in an orphanage. It makes his life more difficult than most other children, but he is not discouraged and aspires to change his life to be rich but reality is not as sweet as fantasy. At the age of 28, Adelia was still working for someone else as an ordinary employee and one day when she came home from work a car hit her to make her die.
And here it is!
Adelia who had a pale face and slightly yellowed skin due to lack of nutrients was shocked when she raised her thin hand to bone.
This is not his hand!!. How could he have a small hand, the girl's eyes wide.
The long-haired but slightly reddish-blond girl tried to get up from lying down but the pounding headache made her lie back down. Memories that were not his came attacking his mind until he shouted softly because he had no energy.
After a while, Adelia also knew the situation she was facing. It turns out that he was reincarnated or used to in novels called transmigrating to another world and occupying the body of a 16-year-old girl also named Miao Adelia.
Miao Adelia is a girl from the Miao family who lives in Miao Village, south of the small town of Cheng of the Liangzhou province of the Murong dynasty, an ancient kingdom that had no history in the world of Adelia before transmigrating. Perhaps the world that Adelia lives in today is a parallel world or a New world.
The Miao family was a wealthy family in Miao village because it had a lot of rice fields. However, the Miao family is a patriarchal family because they love boys more than girls.
The head of the Miao family has 3 sons and 2 daughters who are all married.3 boys live together with their parents and Adelia's parents are third sons.
Since childhood Adelia's life in a patriotic house was not so pleasant because when she could help her mother in homework, Adelia was given a workload such as washing dishes, because when she was able to help her mother in homework, washing clothes of one person at home. It was because in the Miao family only Adelia was the only daughter so her grandparents did not like her very much.
But since her mother died of severe illness, Adelia's life has become more difficult and full of burdens, especially after her father remarried. He not only cooks or washes even he also joined the field with his father or with his first uncle.
Adelia looked at her hard palm as well as her cracked fingertips heaving a tired sigh.
Adelia's agony was worst when her stepmother married her to a very poor man in the village, Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang is a 19-year-old man who has 2 younger siblings aged 5 years and 3 years, both of whom are boys. They lived very hard after the death of their mother who was also very ill.
They sometimes don't eat in a day or even more. Previously Lu Xiang studied at Zheng's college while working odd jobs to be able to pay school fees or buy used books but after his mother's death he decided to drop out of school and become a farmer and hunter to meet daily needs.
The Miao family did not want to marry Adelia to Lu Xiang, but they had to pay child tax when neither a woman nor a man was married at the age of 16, because no one wants to propose Miao Adelia because they know she is not loved by the Miao family itself.
"Who would marry her if there was no dowry of any kind".
That's what other people say when asked why no one would propose to Adelia.
In the Murong dynasty, it was not just men who gave dowries, it was, the woman must also bring a dowry to the man's house to be married, the greater the dowry the woman carries, the more valuable or appreciated she will be in her husband's family. Therefore, Adelia was not married even when she reached almost 16 years old.
But a few days before Adelia wanted to be married to an old man so she did not have to pay a child tax of 3 silver coins equivalent to 3000 copper coins, Lu Xiang came to propose with a dowry of 1 silver coin.
Unthinkingly, the Miao family immediately brought the work-weary Adelia to Lu Xiang's house, even without any wedding celebrations. They were happy not to have to pay child taxes and even got 1 silver, a sizable sum for a family in the village.
Adelia let out a long sigh when she remembered the tragic life of the body she lived in, it turned out that there was something more sad about her life than her.
He looked at his skinny hand and again tried to get up and then spread his gaze around the sleeping room he occupied.
In the room there is only a closet without a door that has several clothes, tables and beds only.
The bedroom was not taken care of because the dust seen on the table, spider webs on the roof frame and the ground floor made a bad impression and uncomfortable.
"This is the life I have to go through now?" Lirih Adelia however is neither discouraged nor discouraged as she has read several novels that tell the story of a heroin who transmigrated to the ancient world and became rich because of the science they possessed.
"Maybe I'm also a heroin?". Adelia chirps then laughs funnyly by her own thoughts.
Creett.
The sound of the door rattling Adelia's mind, she turned her head and saw two small heads that appeared behind the door with eyes that stared strangely at her.
The two boy's heads looked so emaciated dry, even their whites became slightly yellow due to malnutrition.
Adelia wanted to smile and say hello but the two little heads instantly disappeared and were replaced with a shouting voice that made Adelia's lips throb skeptically.
"Sister Xiang, the woman is awake. But it seemed like he was crazy for laughing to himself!!"
"Yes. He's crazy" Support the voice of the more delicate little boy.
