Chapter 1

“This female supporting character is way too stupid!”

As a graduate student at Peking University, Qiao Shuling shook her head at the fictional villainess in the book who happened to share her exact name.

The novel Rebirth of the Fortunate Girl in the ’80s told the story of the heroine, Qiao Yanshu, who in her past life had been forced by her stepmother to marry the village chief’s son. Abused to death, she was reborn and determined to change her fate.

After her rebirth, Qiao Yanshu set her sights on her cousin Qiao Shuling’s officer husband. To highlight the heroine’s kindness and beauty, the author wrote Qiao Shuling as utterly vile—
A breathtaking beauty with a scheming heart, she drugged the male lead, Xie Chengxiao, while he was away on flood relief duty, and quickly got pregnant with twins so she could marry him.

She got her wish and moved into the military family compound.

But Xie Chengxiao had only married her out of obligation. Resentful and dissatisfied, Qiao Shuling abused their children and plotted to remarry into a higher family. Eventually, Xie Chengxiao divorced her.

The reborn heroine, Qiao Yanshu, then volunteered to care for her nephews. Blessed with incredible luck, she kept stumbling upon rare treasures, resold them for a fortune, became rich, and finally married the now-powerful Xie Chengxiao. As for the villainess Qiao Shuling—after abandoning her husband and sons, she went west to chase other men, contracted a disease, and died miserably in the streets.

A perfect “contrast” character.

Qiao Shuling didn’t understand—this villainess already had the best life possible, so why ruin it?
With Xie Chengxiao’s upright and protective nature, even if he didn’t love her, he would still ensure she lived a safe and peaceful life.

How foolish!

That was her last thought—before a blinding white light flashed, and she lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, a man stood before her—too handsome for words. His jawline was like it had been carved by a sculptor, sharp and refined, his presence commanding in a military uniform.

“Qiao Shuling, since you don’t want to stay here, I’ll go file the divorce report right now.”

Divorce report? Where was she?

Looking around, she saw an old-fashioned house with blue brick walls and papered walls, simple furniture, a wooden table and stools, and a corner with a military canteen and satchel.

It was like stepping into the late 1970s or early ’80s.

And this overly handsome man had just called her “Qiao Shuling”…

Could it be—she had transmigrated into the book?

She tried, “Xie Chengxiao?”

He frowned, face cold, and handed her a thick wad of cash—two to three thousand yuan at least.

“I know what you want. This is all my savings since I became a regimental commander. It’s yours.”

He looked tired, as if worn down by it all.

Qiao Shuling’s heart skipped—she really had transmigrated!
And into the villainess’s body, no less.

She’d only complained about the character once—was this punishment from the heavens?!

Still, now was not the time to regret. She absolutely couldn’t divorce Xie Chengxiao!
He was the novel’s “Child of Fate,” destined for a brilliant future, high rank, and power—not to mention he was so handsome she could roll around on the floor from sheer joy. Plus, they already had two adorable children, and she’d skipped the pain of childbirth entirely.

No way she was letting the heroine take this life from her!

She quickly grabbed his sleeve, tears sparkling in her eyes. “Husband, I was just speaking in anger earlier. How could I possibly want a divorce? With such a capable, handsome husband, and our two precious children, I’m completely content. I’ll never leave you.”

For the first time, Xie Chengxiao really looked at her.
She was stunning—her beauty eclipsed even the movie stars in magazines.

But he didn’t love her.
They’d only ended up together after a drunken mistake, and though he’d taken responsibility and married her, he could never forgive her for drugging him. He still remembered the countless injuries on his children’s hands when he’d been away on missions.

Now she was suddenly acting gentle and affectionate. Could he believe her?

Before he could respond, his aide rushed into the courtyard. “Commander Xie, the division commander has an urgent mission for you!”

He left in a hurry, and Qiao Shuling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She needed time to figure out how to deal with him anyway.

That’s when a voice echoed in her head:

[Ms. Qiao Shuling, congratulations! You’ve been selected as Time-Space Bureau’s first experimental transmigrator. As our No. 001 test subject, the Director has given you a special ability: a personal storage space! This space can store anything and also provides free basic supplies. We hope you enjoy your time-travel experience.]

The voice disappeared, and Qiao Shuling’s eyes lit up.

She actually had the classic transmigrated heroine’s cheat—a storage space!
