In a somewhat old room, the walls were slightly yellowed, there was a simple wooden bed that could barely be considered a double bed, a simple wardrobe, and a computer desk with peeling paint.

Tang Xiaoxiao was sitting at her computer desk, mechanically stuffing instant noodles into her mouth one bite at a time.

Three days have passed, and Tang Xiaoxiao is still somewhat dazed, unable to believe that a supernatural phenomenon has truly occurred to her.

She went back to ten years ago, when she had just finished her thesis defense and received her graduation certificate, ready to go home.

This is the apartment she rented at the start of her senior year. Because the dormitory electricity was cut off at 11 p.m., and she would often be doing internships and staying up late to write papers during her senior year, she reluctantly rented a single room in an old neighborhood near the school. It was small and run-down, but fortunately, it was safe enough, and most of the tenants in the neighborhood were students from the same university.

Tang Xiaoxiao was born into a well-off family in an ordinary small town in northern China. Her mother was a housewife, and her father was a minor manager at a local company. She had an older sister, twelve years her senior. Her parents didn't have any preference for sons over daughters, so while they didn't spoil Tang Xiaoxiao, their youngest daughter, they still doted on her. Tang Xiaoxiao grew up smoothly, went to school, and while her grades weren't great, they weren't bad either. She got into an ordinary undergraduate university, graduated with some bumps along the way, and experienced a series of relationships, breakups, and more relationships. Finally, before her parents pressured her to get married, she found someone suitable and got married. Her life was peaceful and uneventful.

She couldn't understand what she had done to deserve such good fortune, that she was reborn ten years ago, back to the age when she was about to graduate and hadn't yet been worn down by the realities of society.

Because she learned things very quickly when she was young, she skipped two grades in elementary school, so she is only twenty years old now, the best time of her life.

Tang Xiaoxiao wasn't exactly a person with good self-control. Her university was in another province, far from home, and unlike high school, it lacked strict discipline. Free from her parents' control, Tang Xiaoxiao quickly let herself go. She skipped classes, dyed her hair, wore outlandish clothes, and spent all night playing games in internet cafes. She soon fell in with several other classmates who also didn't study. Although she managed to avoid bad habits like smoking, drinking, and promiscuity, her studies were completely ruined. She repeatedly failed her courses and had to retake them, eventually graduating. She hadn't learned anything useful in four years, and after entering society, she had no advantage whatsoever, except for being somewhat pretty. But this advantage brought her endless trouble and exclusion from other women; it was utterly useless.

When life was not going well, Tang Xiaoxiao had fantasized about what she would do if she could start her life over, but it was just a fantasy. She never thought that such a thing would actually happen... The accident came too suddenly, and she was completely dazed when she came back.

Tang Xiaoxiao thought she should be thankful that her rebirth was timed so cleverly. Was her graduation defense already completed? Otherwise, making her write a graduation thesis now would probably be less satisfying than simply killing her.

Although she was reborn a little late, and the four years of college she wasted are gone forever, at least she is still in her prime, not the thirty-year-old woman whose edges have been worn down by life ten years later. Isn't that already very lucky?

And even more fortunately, she also has a cheat code...

Tang Xiaoxiao was somewhat dazed as she thought about the strange space inside her body.

Being a fan of online novels, she was naturally familiar with this concept. A personal space was like a small world that belonged only to her, with spiritual springs and magical lands where she could farm, raise pets, and live like an immortal... Who wouldn't yearn to have such a small world while reading novels? So when Tang Xiaoxiao woke up on the simple wooden bed and accidentally entered the space world, she didn't feel any fear or dread. She just pinched herself a few times to prove that she wasn't dreaming.

Of course, to make sure she wasn't dreaming, she'd been doing this to herself every now and then for the past three days, afraid she'd suddenly wake up and find that the rebirth was fake, the cheat system was fake, and it was all just an illusion. Fortunately, the persistent pain in her thigh told her that she really had returned to being twenty years old!

Pushing aside the remaining half of the instant noodles, Tang Xiaoxiao sprawled on the bed, raising her hand to stare at the extra diamond-shaped birthmark on the back of her hand. Before her rebirth, she had been playing enthusiastically at the beach. Her husband had taken a rare three-day vacation, and the couple hadn't been on a trip in a long time. It was late April, the temperature was just right, so they drove to the beach in a neighboring city to relax. Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't swim, so she just strolled along the sand. Seeing two children building sandcastles, she joined in, her childlike spirit ignited. Then, her hand was suddenly cut by something. She could only vaguely see a palm-sized, diamond-shaped, glass-like object half-buried in the fine sand.

She had no memory of what happened after that. When Tang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, she was lying in the rented room from ten years ago.

I don't know if I've returned to the past of my original world, or traveled to a parallel universe. I wonder what happened to my past self—did she continue living a peaceful life, or did she suddenly disappear...?

Shaking his head, he decided to stop thinking about it if he couldn't figure it out. The idea of ​​time travel and rebirth was too fantastical to be true; who would believe it could actually happen?

Tang Xiaoxiao touched the diamond-shaped mark on the back of her hand, silently chanting "Enter the space," and her body appeared in a small world. The small world wasn't large, surrounded by thick white mist. Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't approach it; whenever she got close, she seemed to be blocked by an invisible force. In the center of the space was a small, crystal-clear pool, completely empty. Then there was a three-acre plot of black soil, mostly empty, except for a small section neatly planted with medicinal herbs, orderly and not like they grew naturally, but rather as if someone had planned it. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't recognize many of them, but at least ginseng and lingzhi were easy to identify.
