Liu Ye was sleeping soundly when a wave of foul stench woke her up.
She turned over, but the smell was still there.
She turned over again, yet the odor continued to assault her nose, growing stronger and stronger until she simply couldn’t bear it anymore.
Still half-asleep, she sat up and rubbed her nose. The smell became even more intense. It seemed to be coming from her own hands.
Unable to hold it back, she gagged.
“Urgh… bleh, bleh…”
Squatting on the ground, Liu Ye vomited a few mouthfuls of sour water. Nothing else came out.
What on earth smells so awful?
She lifted her hand to her nose and sniffed.
The stench shot straight to the top of her head.
Oh my God, that’s disgusting! What kind of smell is this? Did I eat something bad last night and then use my hand to…
“Bleh! Bleh! Blehhh!”
She immediately doubled over and retched several more times.
When she finally stood up, she realized something was wrong.
Wait… where am I?
This…
If she wasn’t mistaken, there was a pig lying beside her.
A huge black pig.
This… this is a pigsty, isn’t it?
Wasn’t she supposed to be working overtime at the company?
How had she ended up in a rural pigpen?
Had someone played a prank on her and dumped her here while she was asleep?
No.
Something was seriously wrong.
Nobody at the company would dare play a joke like that on her.
Just then, a wave of dizziness struck.
She collapsed onto the ground, landing squarely on a pile of pig manure.
But she didn’t even care.
Clutching her head, she watched fragments of memories flood into her mind—memories that didn’t belong to her.
Only then did she understand.
She had transmigrated.
And not only had she transmigrated, she had transmigrated into the body of a fool.
A fool who didn’t even have a proper name.
Everyone simply called her “Big Fool.”
Holy crap!
What kind of rotten luck was this?
She had actually joined the ranks of transmigrators.
Stunned, she lowered her hand.
She had transmigrated.
Which meant she was dead.
Oh, come on!
She was still so young!
She had only just finished paying off her mortgage.
Her boss had just promoted her to project manager.
And now she was dead?
Where’s the justice in that?
Heavens, are you blind?!
Liu Ye screamed inwardly but didn’t dare voice it aloud.
After all, she had inherited the body of a fool.
I’ve worked so hard my entire life!
I’ve worked my butt off!
How could you bear to let such an outstanding talent die?
In the end, she sighed and resigned herself to reality.
As the saying went:
“A miserable life is still better than a good death.”
Back in college, she’d read plenty of transmigration novels.
Other heroines became princesses and noble ladies.
As for her?
She became a village idiot.
Wasn’t this blatant discrimination?
“Big Fool! Get your lazy butt up and empty the chamber pot!”
“You useless thing! All you do is sleep! Why don’t you just stay stupid forever and save us some food!”
A shrill voice came from outside.
Then another round of yelling followed.
“Stupid Big Fool! It’s all your fault I can’t get married!”
“Get out here and empty my chamber pot!”
“And wash my clothes while you’re at it! Scrub my shoes too! Did you hear me, you idiot?!”
Liu Ye closed her eyes and searched through the inherited memories.
The owner of that voice was the fool’s younger sister, Liu Ya.
Good grief.
Even her own biological sister bullied her.
What a family.
From the fool’s memories, Liu Ye also learned that Liu Ya wasn’t the only one.
The fool had a third sister named Liu Qing, who bullied her just as often.
Whenever either sister was upset—whether because of trouble outside or problems at home—they would take it out on the fool.
Beating her became their preferred method of venting frustration.
Nor were the sisters the only culprits.
The fool’s parents.
Her grandparents.
Her second uncle’s entire family.
All of them treated her like a servant.
Whenever they were unhappy, she became their punching bag.
In short, the entire family abused her.
It was absolutely inhuman.
Even livestock were treated better.
Liu Ye let out a cold snort.
Just as she was about to stand up, she noticed something lying on the ground.
A black ring.
Its dark surface gleamed with an unusual shine.
It looked completely out of place in the filthy pigsty.
“Huh?”
“Where did this ring come from?”
She hadn’t noticed it earlier.
Picking it up, she slipped it onto her finger.
The moment she did—
The ring vanished.
Liu Ye froze.
What the heck?!
Where did it go?
Suddenly her vision blurred.
The next instant, everything became clear again.
But she was no longer in the pigsty.
Instead, she found herself in a strange place.
There was blue sky.
White clouds.
Yet no sun.
Scrambling to her feet, she excitedly surveyed her surroundings.
Not far away stood a well.
Three large characters were carved into its stone wall:
Spirit Spring Well.
Liu Ye’s eyes widened.
No way…
This can’t be…
A storage-space artifact?
The answer was obvious.
It absolutely was.
“Hahaha! Goddess Nüwa, my luck’s finally turning around!”
Excited beyond belief, Liu Ye walked around the space.
It wasn’t particularly large.
Near the Spirit Spring Well was a patch of black farmland, roughly one mu in size.
Nothing grew there.
The soil was dark, rich, and glossy.
It looked so fertile that stepping on it might make oil seep out.
A farmable space.
That meant it was likely a growth-type space.
As long as she kept planting crops, the space might continue expanding.
Perfect.
I’ll find seeds later.
From the fool’s memories, she had learned that this region was located in the north.
A severe famine was sweeping through the area.
The land was parched.
Harvests had failed.
People everywhere were fleeing south in search of survival.
As for what dynasty this was…
Liu Ye looked down at her tattered clothes.
They resembled ancient clothing.
But which dynasty?
The fool didn’t know.
So neither did she.
She only knew the village was called Little Stone Gully Village, not far from a market town.
She had seen memories of the Liu family visiting the town fair.
The fool always wanted to go along.
And every time she asked, she was rewarded with a pair of hard slaps.
The ones hitting her were usually her own father or mother.
Those damned Liu family bastards.
An entire clan picking on a mentally disabled girl.
Disgusting.
Still, perhaps death had been a release for the original owner.
Now the body belonged to Liu Ye.
And she wasn’t someone who could be pushed around.
Just wait.
I’ll make every one of those animals pay.
This is revenge for the fool.
“Big Fool! Are you dead in there?!”
“If you’re not dead, get out here and empty the chamber pot, you lazy pig!”
Liu Ya’s voice rang out again.
Liu Ye planted her hands on her hips.
That annoying brat again.
You’re the lazy one!
You can’t even empty your own chamber pot and still have the nerve to call someone else lazy?
Still…
This space was amazing.
She could actually hear conversations happening outside.
At that moment, a sharp pain twisted through her stomach.
The agony was so intense that she doubled over and clutched her abdomen.
Only then did the pain lessen slightly.
No good.
I need food immediately.
The original owner probably starved to death.
Thinking about leaving, Liu Ye instantly returned to the pigsty.
Her gaze landed on the giant black pig nearby.
It must have weighed over five hundred pounds.
The fool had raised it herself.
Every day she climbed mountains to cut pig fodder, working from dawn until dusk.
She had fed the pig until it became fat and healthy.
Meanwhile, she herself had starved to death.
The unfairness of it all made Liu Ye furious.
Without thinking, she waved her hand at the pig.
In an instant, the massive black pig disappeared.
It had been stored inside her space.
“Hmph.”
“Since you treated her so badly, none of you deserve to eat pork.”
“You can eat pig manure instead!”
