Household Registration Separation 1

Ye Mo looked around the small room she now occupied. It was a modest space, probably around ten square meters, furnished with just the basics: a single bed, a table, a chair, and a small bedside table.

In her memories, Ye Mo recalled that she once had quite a few clothes. Whether they were gifts from Grandma or Aunt Yu, new clothes inevitably ended up in Yu He’s wardrobe instead of hers. If the original host of her body didn’t willingly hand over the clothes, her stepmother would intervene, often withholding food and even sleep until she complied.

When Yu Mo lived with her father, she shared a room with Yu He. Yu He slept on the bed while Yu Mo was relegated to the floor. If there had been space for another bed, Yu Mo probably wouldn’t have had even that.

Ye Mo took a moment to summarize the original host’s life:

First, she was considered a failure. This wasn’t surprising—every interstellar citizen was tested for abilities at the age of eight, but Yu Mo had none.

Second, she was weak. Despite Grandma’s support, she had been bullied by her stepmother and Yu He from childhood. Worse, she never dared to speak up.

Third, she lacked social skills. Apart from Grandma and Aunt Yu, who were kind to her, the original host never learned to appreciate others.

Fourth, she was poor. The original host’s family was among the poorest in the interstellar community, so her poverty was expected.

Fifth, she was naive. Though she had received an education, the original host achieved nothing with it. In a society where even those without abilities could find success through knowledge, the original host failed to learn anything.

Reflecting on these traits, Ye Mo felt exhausted just thinking about it. But one thing did stand out: Yu Mo’s mother’s surname was Ye.

Ye Mo wasn’t satisfied with being called Yu Mo. She wanted to change her surname to Ye, but she needed to discuss this with Grandma first.

Ye Mo was lost in thought when Grandma walked into the room.

“Grandma!” Ye Mo greeted her.

“Do you have something to tell me, Momo?” Grandma asked gently.

“I want to change my surname to my mother’s,” Ye Mo said, looking at Grandma earnestly.

Grandma paused, considering this for a moment. “If that’s what you want, then fine. Grandma won’t stop you.” In fact, Grandma thought it might be better for Momo to separate herself from her father’s family. This way, they wouldn’t be able to scheme against her in the future.

Grandma knew all too well that ever since Yu He had stolen Yu Mo’s engagement, her son had been planning to marry Momo off to a man who couldn’t have children—a man who, despite his high status, had been rejected by the nobility due to his infertility.

This infuriated Grandma. Her Momo was healthy and had strong fertility; why should she be given to someone else? The marriage to the Zhang family should have been Momo’s. Even if her father didn’t like her, he shouldn’t have pushed her into such a miserable situation.

In interstellar society, children were incredibly precious. Even if Momo became pregnant, there was no need to worry—the state would assist in raising the child.

So when Ye Mo mentioned changing her surname to her mother’s, Grandma Yu agreed. Although Ye Mo’s mother had passed away, it was an easy task to change a name in the interstellar society, especially since Ye Mo was already an adult.

Grandma Yu gave her consent, and Ye Mo looked down at the wristwatch on her arm. She recalled how the original owner used it and knew that it was the cheapest model in the entire interstellar society. If it weren’t mandatory for everyone to have one, her father probably wouldn’t have bought it for her.

Because Ye Mo enjoyed playing farming games, she wished for a more powerful wristwatch.

Without hesitation, Ye Mo accessed her household registration certificate and submitted an application to change her registered surname.

The conditions for her application were clear: despite being eighteen and under her father’s care, there was no place for her in his home. This could be investigated, and she doubted her father could fabricate proof otherwise.

Another condition was frequent hunger. Although the state provided a daily nutritional supplement for those under eighteen, Ye Mo rarely received hers. The neighbors near her father’s home could attest to this, and an investigation would reveal the truth.

Ye Mo chose not to mention other grievances. She decided to allow her father and stepmother a bit of dignity.

Once Ye Mo submitted the application, an investigation began. It could be conducted directly through the wristwatch’s monitoring system. Whether or not the original host had received her nutritional supplements could be verified. It was estimated that she missed out on them about a third of the time. Once the investigation concluded, her stepmother would be in serious trouble.

Although such matters were rarely pursued, if someone reported them, the authorities would take it seriously.

Ye Mo had no sympathy for the original host’s stepmother. The original host had been too foolish, leading a miserable life unnecessarily. Ye Mo couldn’t understand why anyone would choose to endure abuse instead of living independently.

In interstellar society, children were highly valued. Even if Ye Mo was just an eighteen-year-old girl without abilities, the authorities might be a little negligent. But now, she was a pregnant young woman.

Children were precious, especially given the declining birth rate. On the planet where Ye Mo currently resided, there hadn’t been any pregnancy records for two months. Ye Mo’s pregnancy was the first and only one in those two months. The authorities would undoubtedly take this seriously.

Feeling somewhat smug, Ye Mo remembered her own personal space. With Grandma Yu occupied, Ye Mo decided to return to her space directly. It was still the same, unaffected by her time travel.

Most importantly, the warehouse was still fully stocked. Ye Mo was genuinely pleased. Holding a Spirit-Testing Stone she had obtained from the cultivation world, she tested her own body and confirmed that she had no spiritual roots. She was still considered “useless.”

At that moment, Ye Mo suddenly remembered her spiritual cultivation power. Unfortunately, she had none left. But what excited her was that her identity as a ghost cultivator had returned, and she had reached the rank of an upper-level Ghost Soldier.

Ye Mo was thrilled. As long as she could still cultivate, the type of ability didn’t matter.

She examined her body, and the little one inside her belly was just a small tadpole. It was really tiny. However, what amazed Ye Mo was that this tiny tadpole emitted a light from within her body.

What could this be? Was it indicating a light attribute? Or perhaps some sort of protective membrane?

Whatever it was, Ye Mo had a feeling that her cultivation wouldn’t harm the child in her womb.

Since Grandma Yu had told her to rest, Ye Mo knew she wouldn’t be disturbed for a while. She found a cake she had brought from the mortal world and took a bite. It was truly delicious!

When she first tasted the cake, she was struck by how good it was. That’s why she had made sure to get some more later. Finally, she satisfied her craving. Having a human body really was nice!

Reminder: this is not my work and the author’s name is Li Xin Yu.

P.S. Although I tagged sextuplet and the female lead having abilities but now it doesn’t match what I claimed before. Firstly, the female lead will have abilities but not now, even without abilities, the female lead is strong. Secondly, the female lead will encounter something that makes her have more than one baby.
