Chapter 1 Awakening

"Sui Sui, do you remember what your mother said? Don't act as willful as you do at home when you go to Qiongtai Island."

"If you encounter problems that you can't solve, just... act like a spoiled child to Ah Yan. Dad has already sent Ah Yan a telegram. That child has a good heart and will definitely take good care of you."

"We've already published an announcement in the newspaper severing ties with you, and most of the Qin family's assets have been transferred to your Uncle Yang's house. We'll ask your Uncle Yang to keep them for you first. Things will definitely clear up in the future, and you can come and pick them up then. Your mother has also sent most of your luggage to A Yan's place. You can buy anything you need when you get there."

"Remember, no matter what happens later, stay in the cellar and don't come out..."

Mother Qin blinked desperately to hold back her tears. How could she feel at ease when the daughter she had raised for 18 years was forced to leave them and drift in the wind alone?

Qin Suisui also blinked desperately, finally confirming that the scene before her was real.

She'd awakened! She was the cannon fodder capitalist daughter of a male-oriented novel who didn't make it past the second episode. It was 1970, the night her family was liquidated. It was already 11 p.m., and her parents would be taken away shortly. According to the plan, tomorrow morning, she would be whisked away to the airport by someone her father had arranged in advance, flying directly to Guangzhou. From there, she would take a boat to Qiongtai Island.

But plans can't keep up with changes. The person originally arranged to send her off was Yang Jiankang, a close friend of her father. Yang Jiankang's family and the Qin family had been close friends since their grandfather's generation. Yang Jiankang and her father, Qin Xingzhi, had grown up together like children.

It's a pity that Yang Jiankang was blinded by money and was dazzled by the majority of the Qin family's wealth. Not only did he fail to send himself on the plane to Guangzhou, but he also ended up in the bed of his leader who was over 50 years old.

The leader in the book is a psychopath who tortures her until she's barely alive. When she escapes, she happens to meet the male protagonist, who is handsome and kind-hearted. He takes her to the hospital, and before she dies, she tells him the location of her family's assets. In this way, the male protagonist inherits the Qin family's tens of millions of assets without any pain. Later, taking advantage of the reform and opening-up policy, he rises to become incredibly wealthy, and countless good girls are drawn to him.

Hey! This world really is a giant Edinburgh!

Qin Suisui wiped her moist eyes and whispered to her mother, who had already reached the cellar door, "Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of myself. You and Dad should also hold on and wait for me to pick you up!"

Qin's mother staggered for a moment, then ran back crying to hug her beloved daughter. She took off a pair of pearl earrings from her earlobes and put them in Qin Suisui's hands: "Baby, don't be afraid. Hide the earrings well. Take them out and look at them when you miss your mother. If you're desperate, you can exchange these earrings for some money. You must take good care of yourself!"

Qin Suisui clenched her earring tightly. Only after her mother had walked far away did she finally burst into tears. The tears dripped onto the pearl earring in her hand. Before Qin Suisui could wipe them away, she was instantly sucked in by a huge suction force. Then, a huge white light flashed, and Qin Suisui was in an unfamiliar place in the blink of an eye.

The view is of a rushing waterfall, cascading down from a cliff tens of meters high, with the water flowing into a deep green pool at the foot of the mountain to form a stream.

The stream divides the land into two parts. On the left is a vast black soil, and on the right is a vibrant green meadow with herds of cattle and sheep grazing on the meadow, creating a harmonious and leisurely scene.

There was a two-story wooden cabin sitting on the grass, and behind the cabin was a row of factory buildings, about a dozen in number. They were all empty except for the first one, which had a simple control panel with buttons for "planting," "harvesting," "processing," and "slaughtering." It seemed that this space was a small automated farm!

There was already commotion outside; those people had come to capture her parents. Without time to think, she flashed out of the space.

A small part of the Qin family's property was hidden in this cellar with her, and she had to move out quickly.

The cellar had several rooms, and Qin Suisui was very familiar with the place. Without needing a light, she quickly found the place where the medicinal herbs were stored.

Their family started out in the medicinal herb business. Their cellar was filled with boxes and boxes of cordyceps, dendrobium officinale, gastrodia elata, and notoginseng, as well as several boxes of more precious wild ginseng, lingzhi, natural bezoar, natural musk, rhinoceros horn, and agarwood, which were stacked separately on shelves.

With a wave of her hand, Qin Suisui collected them all into the spatial factory.

Besides traditional Chinese medicine, the Qin family also dealt with Western medicine. The cellar contained a variety of medicines, including cold medicine, fever reducers, allergy medicine, iodine, disinfectant, gauze, wound medicine, heatstroke medicine, insect and snake repellent, etc. Qin Suisui put them all into her space and emptied the medicine room.

She ran to the second room, which was mostly filled with gold and silver treasures, but a large portion of them had obviously been moved away. Now, only five or six boxes of large and small yellow croakers remained. If Qin Suisui remembered correctly, there were originally many boxes of gold ingots, gold leaves, pearls, jade, jewelry, antique vases, and calligraphy and paintings. It seemed that they had been moved to Yang Jiankang's house. No rush, she would go and get them back in a while!

Qin Suisui waved her hand and put all the mahogany shelves in the room into her spatial storage, which was then placed in the factory to store things.

The third room was filled with books, all kinds of books, from ancient times to the present, from professional books to essays and travelogues, from school textbooks to industrial and agricultural books, even foreign language books, and many of them were banned books. Qin Suisui took away all of them along with the bookshelf.

The last room was relatively small. It used to have a row of wine cabinets filled with my father's treasured collection of famous domestic and international wines, but now it was completely empty. On another cabinet was a small box containing various high-end watches that my father had bought, as well as all sorts of expensive teas and cigarettes he had collected. Now it was all empty; I guess Yang Jiankang had taken them all.

Qin Suisui put the empty wine cabinet into her spatial storage, then checked the cellar to make sure it was completely empty before pressing her ear against the cellar door to listen for any sounds outside. After waiting for about 20 minutes to make sure there were no more noises outside, she carefully climbed out of the cellar.

The house was in complete disarray, with all the tables, chairs, and benches in the living room lying on the floor. Qin Suisui went to her bedroom first. Her mother had already packed away the valuables in the bedroom and sent them to Qiongtan Island. All that was left were half a wardrobe of clothes, an empty bed, and a dressing table that had been turned upside down.

Qin Suisui directly put the entire bed, wardrobe, and dressing table into the small wooden house in her space, leaving only four bare walls in the room.

Then they went to Mom and Dad's room, where even the bed legs had been dismantled. Qin Suisui picked up the four thick legs from the floor and unplugged two of them. Ten bundles of money tumbled out. Qin Suisui picked them up and counted them. Each bundle contained five hundred yuan, and ten bundles totaled five thousand yuan. That was right.

The remaining two bed legs concealed several bundles of national grain coupons, as well as various meat coupons, industrial coupons, and the like in one leg; the other leg contained a dozen small yellow croakers wrapped in cotton cloth, the family's property certificate, and a savings account opened in her name containing 50,000 yuan.

These were all things her mother told her before she left, and they were also part of her Plan B. If her escape to Qiongtan Island failed, she could use these money and tickets to make life less difficult.

Qin Suisui wiped away her tears and followed the same steps to clear out her parents' room, not even leaving the dismantled bed frame unattended. She wanted to protect her parents' belongings.

She went to the kitchen again and found that even the pots on the stove had been taken away. Qin Suisui could only put the jars of kimchi and chili sauce that the housekeeper had made into her space. She could still use the old broth after the kimchi was finished!

Finally, she took away all the tables, chairs, wardrobes, shelves, desks, pots, pans, and things in the tool room that were not damaged, and even took away the flower seeds and vegetable seeds left by the nanny.

After moving her things, Qin Suisui took out the cloth bag she was carrying and looked inside. There was a small wallet containing over two thousand yuan, both in small and large bills, a stack of national receipts, a modest Plum Blossom brand watch, her household registration certificate, and a plane ticket for 7:00 AM the next morning to Guangzhou. The bag also contained a small bag of White Rabbit milk candy, a few pieces of steamed egg cake, some shortbread, and a bottle of water to tide her over. Seeing these, Qin Suisui's tears welled up again.

She forced herself to hold it back, picked up her watch, and saw it was almost 2 a.m. Yang Jiankang, who had promised his parents he'd pick her up at midnight, hadn't shown up. Qin Suisui sneered. Since he wasn't coming, she'd go herself!
