"Your Byron family must've eaten the gallbladder of a brave leopard that you'd dare to use a corpse for your rites. I bet you're all tired of living."

"Goodness, 6th Master wouldn't dare. Moira was very much alive during the ceremony. We wouldn't dare to deceive you, 6th Master. We're being falsely accused."

"Enough with the nonsense, Theresa, I'm telling you, whatever sum we've given you, return double of it within a month. Otherwise, prepare yourself for jail."

"Ah, 6th Master, 6th Master… What misfortune."

"The fourth wife is already deceased. Hurry and find a place to bury her. What a nuisance."

"Second Sister, Second Sister… *sobbing noises*"

"Sister… Sister…"

"*sobbing noises*"

Moira woke up to a round of grumbling and crying sounds. Before she opened her eyes, she could sense that she was in a warm embrace. There was a faint smell of sweat, but it wasn't unpleasant.

She thought she was dreaming. But the sounds of crying were just too real and it slowly brought her back to her senses.

Once she opened her eyes, she saw a few tear-stained faces, each crying more sorrowfully than the last, calling out ‘Sister’. When she opened her eyes, the oldest girl let out a sudden laugh.

"Mother, Mother, look! Second Sister has awakened, she's awake, she's opened her eyes!" The girl's eyes were filled with incredulity.

Second Sister?

What Second Sister?

Moira had lived her life alone since birth, not knowing who her parents were. When did she have a sister?

She looked like a child around the age of ten.

What on earth...

"Moira, my dear daughter..." the woman holding her began to weep abruptly, blaming herself profusely, "Mother should not have agreed to sell you, it's all mother's fault, mother's fault..."

Sold... Was she sold?

Listening to their conversation, Moira was utterly perplexed. What the hell was happening? She clearly remembered that she had...died.

That moment when a bullet tore through her flesh...

Oh, her heart didn't seem to hurt anymore.

Two days later.

Early in the morning, before the sunrise, Moira heard a rustling sound. She knew this indicated that Perry had woken up.

After two days, she gradually accepted this reality.

She had traveled across time. She had time traveled.

But...being a time traveler, others usually landed as some young Lady, some princess, some noblewoman. But what about her?

The Nan Shun Dynasty.

A dynasty that had never existed in the history.

And now she was in Byron family Village, which was situated at the northernmost border of the Nan Shun Dynasty.

All these things, she could handle. Even being transmigrated into the body of an eight-year-old village girl, she could accept that.

But... to be naturally imbecile and overly fat, that's simply unbearable!

Every time she thought about how the four households of the Byron family lavish and indulge her, treating her as if she's stupid, she would feel uncomfortable all over, wanting to roar at them.

"I'm not a fool, not a fool. I'm just unable to accept my current state. Do you really have to treat me like a mentally challenged person?"

Even eating a meal required others to feed her. She simply couldn't endure it anymore.

Whenever she thought about what had happened in the past few days, she felt like crying but had no tears.

The Byron family had a total of seven children, five boys and two girls. The eldest daughter was already married, and the father of this body she had occupied was the fourth child, a man with a physical disability who was honest and straightforward.

Long ago, he injured his leg and walked with a limp ever since.

Moreover, both parents had four daughters, even endowing one with an imbecile. Hence, in the Byron family, there was no standing whatsoever.

Any member of the Byron family could command them about.

It appeared that the original body’s parents had accustomed themselves to this sort of life, accepting all sorts of bullying and humiliation.

The original body was named Qiao Moira. Perhaps because they both had the name "Moira", that's why she ended up here.

Before she arrived, due to the Byron family's urgent need for money, she, who was considered imbecile and a waste of food, was sold to Hobbes family in the county town by her foster mother Theresa.

The current patriarch of Hobbes family was in his fifties and had many concubines. However, he suddenly contracted a strange illness and was on the verge of death. The Hobbes family was anxious, hence they sought the help of a shaman.

The shaman suggested finding a girl born on the sixth day of the sixth month in the sixth year of the Chengkun era to bring good luck and ensure the patriarch lived for a few more decades.

In the vicinity of the county town, the Hobbes family searched all over, eventually finding Qiao Moira.

However, Qiao Moira was naturally foolhardy. Theresa was afraid of incidents happening on the journey to welcome her bridegroom, hence she fed Qiao Moira a jelly bun laced with sedatives before boarding the bridal carriage. This led to Qiao Moira's demise on the way to the Hobbes family.

Qiao Moira had a plump figure, but was highly unhealthy. Upon inheriting Qiao Moira's body, she found the reasons from fragmented memories.

Because she was a fool, she was despised by all except the third and fourth households. She was constantly hungry, and due to the starvation, often went to the hill behind to look for wild fruits.

At the age of five, she ate a type of black fruit in the hills. Since then, she began to rapidly gain weight, and would frequently suffer from stomach aches. As her foolishness prevented her from expressing her pain, no one knew about it.

In the eyes of outsiders, Byron family fool seemed very pampered. Even during the age of clothing and food scarcity, she could still manage to grow fat - a testament to how well she was treated by the Byron family.

Thinking of this, Moira also felt helpless, sympathizing deeply with her.

"Moira, you're awake. Get up, let your sister dress you."

Moira, no, Qiao Moira looked at her sister who was only two years older and saw Dora smiling brightly at her. She opened her mouth, her voice hoarse, "I'll dress myself."

"What?" Dora let out an unbelieving shout, then nervously stared at Qiao Moira for confirmation, "Moira, what did you just say? What did you say? Say it again."

"I'll dress myself." Qiao Moira patiently repeated.

These past few days, she lay down because this body was too weak. When she woke up in the morning, her mother, Perry, always dressed her. Having never experienced maternal love, Qiao Moira accepted all this.

But today, she could feel that her body was slowly gaining strength, so she wanted to dress herself. In the future, she would take care of everything on her own.

"Moira, call me sister. Say sister so I can hear it," Dora said, crying tears of joy. She gently shook Qiao Moira's chubby body, her fingers slightly trembling.

Qiao Moira sighed softly to herself. Although this body was only eight years old, her soul was that of a 22-year-old adult. To call a ten-year-old girl sister...

"Sister," she finally obediently called out. She willingly accepted it, and also faced the reality. Since she had arrived here, she was Qiao Moira - there was no need to pretend otherwise.

"Ai," Dora cried even harder. Out of excitement, she gave Qiao Moira a hard pinch.
