Yan An had been in this world for over three years.

During this time, she had accomplished several significant milestones in a human’s lifetime: marriage, pregnancy, divorce, and childbirth.

And she had given birth to six children in one go!

…Oh no, six seeds!

Unfortunately, out of the six seeds, only two had sprouted. The remaining four remained quietly in the soil, showing no signs of life even after three years.

Yan An squatted by the soil, staring at the empty surface. She poked at the round, plump leaves on her head and let out a troubled sigh.

There was nothing she could do about the seeds not sprouting. After all, the 30 million divorce settlement from her ex-husband had already run out.

That money had only been enough for her to give birth, recover, and help two of her children sprout.

Just as Yan An was sighing deeply at the soil, a lemon tree quickly moved over from the distance.

The lemon tree was about half a person tall, its branches and leaves somewhat thin and weak, far less lush than the bigger, more robust lemon trees out there.

However, its leaves were a vibrant green, and it bore a single golden-yellow lemon that looked so juicy one’s mouth would water just from looking at it.

Apart from the lemon, a vine wrapped around its branches, with a lone bitter gourd hanging awkwardly from it.

The lemon tree, carrying the bitter gourd, swiftly moved through the soil until it reached Yan An’s side.

The bitter gourd slowly detached from the lemon tree and, upon landing on the ground, transformed into a three-year-old toddler.

Seeing this, the lemon tree also shook its body and turned into a child of about the same age.

Both little children were chubby and adorable, making one want to dote on them.

The lemon baby had big eyes, long eyelashes, and a tiny lemon leaf sprouting from its head, swaying gently.

The bitter gourd baby also had big eyes, but it wore a naturally grumpy face, exuding an air of, ‘Ugh, life as a melon is so exhausting and boring.’

Yan Mengmeng copied his mother’s actions, squatting by the patch of soil where his younger siblings were planted. Supporting his chin with his hands, he asked, “Mommy, when will my little brothers and sisters sprout?”

Yan Kuku observed his brother’s actions, his small mouth slightly open. With his short legs, he waddled over to Yan An’s other side, plopped down, and silently stared at the ground, continuing to look miserable as he pondered the meaning of life.

Yan An thought for a moment, touched her eldest son’s leaf, and seriously replied, “Once Mommy has money, your little siblings will be able to sprout.”

Yan Mengmeng asked again, “Then when will Mommy have money?”

Yan An fell into silence.

She turned her head to look at her second son.

Yan Kuku, still wearing his perpetually glum face, stared at her in confusion: Huh? What?

Yan An poked Yan Kuku’s bitter gourd-like cheeks. Her lively apricot eyes sparkled as she suddenly sprang to her feet, clenched her fists, and declared with fighting spirit, “Mommy is going out to make money! Mengmeng, Kuku, do you want to come with me?”

Yan Mengmeng immediately responded, “Yes! I want to go with Mommy.”

Yan Kuku glanced at his brother, placed his tiny hands on the ground, pushed himself up, and patted the dirt off his hands. “If Brother goes, I’ll go too.”

Thus, Yan An packed her belongings. She placed a lemon in her left pocket and a bitter gourd in her right pocket. After firmly warning them not to transform into human form outside, she left the small enchantment.

The enchantment was hidden deep within an alley, where a small lake lay at its center, with a field of wild grass on the other side.

This was also the place where Yan An had transmigrated three years ago.

Before transmigrating, she had been a Copper Coin Grass spirit deep in the mountains of a cultivation world. Over time, she gained spiritual awareness and embarked on a long path of cultivation.

After two hundred years, Yan An had achieved a decent level of cultivation, neither at the top nor at the bottom. Her days had been peaceful, leisurely, and enjoyable.

That was until one day, on a whim, she decided she wanted children. That was when her troubles began.

Copper Coin Grass reproduced asexually. As long as they wished, they could effortlessly grow a whole bunch of new sprouts without needing a male counterpart.

In fact, the Copper Coin Grass race could even grow male offspring at will. All it took was breaking off a stem or leaf, placing it in water for a few days, and voilà! A new child! And that child could quickly produce even more children! An endless cycle of offspring!

But Yan An was the only exception!

All her childhood friends had countless children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren…

Whenever they encountered trouble, they could bring their whole family along for backup!

Yet, Yan An had always been a lonely and pitiful little Copper Coin Grass.

She had diligently studied reproduction methods and even consulted the clan elders, but no matter what she tried, she simply couldn’t give birth.

Whenever she attempted to propagate by breaking off a stem or leaf and placing it in water, instead of sprouting new life, the leaf would wither away and turn into fertilizer.

In modern terms, Yan An was an infertile Copper Coin Grass.

One day, a pigeon friend of hers, upon learning about her predicament, casually suggested, “Why don’t you find a man for dual cultivation? Maybe that’ll work?”

Yan An’s eyes lit up. That actually sounded like a good idea! There was no harm in giving it a try.

Without hesitation, she plucked a Copper Coin Grass leaf from her head, stuffed it into her friend’s hand, and said, “Here, a little gift! Helps reducing inflammation and detoxify. You can make tea with it!”

Then, full of excitement, she ran off.

Finding a man for dual cultivation was a serious matter. Yan An had only one requirement. He had to be handsome!

After all, good-looking parents meant good-looking children.

As the most beautiful woman among the Copper Coin Grass clan, she had the nickname ‘flower of the clan’. How could she possibly give birth to ugly children?

Therefore, the father of her children had to be the most handsome man in the world.

But the most handsome man in the world was the Ling Yan Emperor of Ling Yan Cave Mansion.

As a mere little Copper Coin Grass, Yan An had never seen such a great figure. However, those who had seen him all agreed. He was unbelievably handsome.

The problem was, the Ling Yan Emperor had a terrible reputation. Across the entire world, whether gods, demons, spirits, or ghosts, none dared to provoke him.

Not only was he the most good-looking man, but he was also the most powerful. On top of that, he had a notoriously bad temper.

One wrong move, and he could make that person disappear without a trace.

Yan An knew her limits. There was no way she could approach him for dual cultivation.

So, she moved on to the second most handsome man. But he was also too powerful, and she didn’t dare to approach him either.

With a name list in hand, she went down the rankings, crossing off one name after another. Just as she finally settled on contestant number 1008 and decided to give it a try…

…The world was destroyed.

At that moment, she had been preparing to seek out contestant number 1008. But before she could even step out of her luxurious little lake, the entire world was thrown into chaos. The sky crumbled, the ground split apart, everything was collapsing.

She blacked out.

When Yan An woke up, she found herself deep in a rundown alley, by the edge of a lake. She had become a lone Copper Coin Grass in this modern world.

Her cultivation remained intact, but this world had no external spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, the spells she had learned were useless.

However, she was still a Copper Coin Grass. As long as she had money, she could convert it into her own spiritual energy and use it for certain things. Like setting up a small enchantment for childbirth or helping her children to sprout.

Though she had no idea why, instead of giving birth to more Copper Coin Grass, she had ended up with six seeds.

And when those seeds sprouted, one became a lemon tree, and another became a bitter gourd.

As for the remaining four… she still didn’t know what they were.

Maybe it was because her dual cultivation partner had been human.

A human and a Copper Coin Grass producing a bunch of plant seeds… That was pretty normal, right?

No worries, no worries! At least she didn’t give birth to an animal!

Yan An shook her head to make sure no leaves had sprouted on top. Then, she stepped out of the alley with her two children, heading toward the nearest subway station, following the memories in her mind.

She was on her way to audition for a variety show.

One of the guest roles on the show was reserved for an ordinary person.

According to Liang Baiyu, a friend who had also transmigrated to this world, if she got selected, the pay would be substantial. Plus, she could use this opportunity to gain fame and later earn money through acting.

After all, becoming a celebrity was one of the fastest ways to make money.

She needed money to generate spiritual energy within herself and help the remaining four children sprout.

Setting up a small enchantment had only cost a few million Yuan. But giving birth and recovering for three years had nearly drained 10 million Yuan.

Sprouting the lemon and the bitter gourd cost 10 million Yuan each, totaling 30 million Yuan.

By that calculation, the remaining four children would require another 40 million Yuan.

Sitting on the subway, Yan An lowered her head and absentmindedly traced little circles on the floor with her foot, silently doing the math in her head.

Just then, her bag vibrated a few times. Her phone had received new messages.

Yan An looked up, reached into her bag, and pulled out her phone.

It was from her pigeon friend, Liang Baiyu. He was a proper, upright individual, and his WeChat profile picture was a selfie of a sleek, shiny, well-groomed white pigeon.

Gu Gu Gu: Have you set off for the audition?

An An Wants Money: I’m on the subway already. What, did you think I’d slack off like you?

Gu Gu Gu: Okay, just checking.

An An Wants Money: Liang Baiyu, don’t forget to put in a good word for me with the director!

Gu Gu Gu: Don’t worry, I’ll remember.

Liang Baiyu had previously assured her that he had a good relationship with the show’s director. If he put in a word, her chances of being selected would be 100%.

This audition was just a formality.

Although Yan An wasn’t entirely confident in her pigeon friend, the fact that he had remembered to remind her about the audition made her believe he wouldn’t forget to mention her to the director.

But what she didn’t know was that after Liang Baiyu sent the message, he casually tossed his phone aside… And promptly forgot all about it.

Unaware of this, Yan An put her phone back in her bag. Out of habit, she glanced to the side and suddenly froze.

Seated next to her were two young women. The one closest to her was holding a large-screen phone, displaying a photo.

It appeared to be a screenshot from a movie. A man’s features were exquisite and breathtaking, each detail seemingly carved by the heavens. 

At first glance, he was so stunning that one would instinctively hold their breath, afraid that even the sound of breathing might disturb him through the screen.

He was dressed impeccably in a crisp white shirt, gold-rimmed glasses resting lightly on his nose. In one hand, he held a gun. With a slight parting of his lips, he blew softly on the barrel, his expression calm and detached. And an air of superiority effortlessly surrounding him.

To him, the people around him were nothing more than specks of dust, insignificant and irrelevant.

Yan An had encountered this kind of demeanor countless times in her past cultivation world. It was common among the powerful. Those who reveled in their own greatness.

But with them, there was always a hint of pretense, a conscious effort to appear untouchable.

This man, however, was different. His arrogance wasn’t a facade; it was innate, as if he had been born to stand above the rest.

And he had.

This was the man who had once handed Yan An 30 million Yuan as a divorce settlement. Now, he reigned over the entertainment industry. An untouchable, award-winning actor at the peak of his career.

He was also the father of her six seeds, Qi Yan.
