Chapter 1: Traveling Through Time and Becoming a Stepmother



"Xie Yunjiao! You're such a jinx! Whoever enters your house will be in trouble!"

"I must have been blind to let you in!"

"If you want to die, do it quickly and cleanly. Don't try to commit suicide right after you get married. I'm telling you, I won't fall for that."

In the simple and dilapidated room, before Xie Yunjiao could react in a daze, a series of vicious curses rang in her ears, causing her forehead to swell and ache.

Xie Yunjiao vaguely remembered that she was a chef and had a rare opportunity to compete abroad, but her plane crashed into the sea.

Logically speaking, shouldn't she be dead?

If you fall from a plane, your chances of survival should be zero!

She struggled to open her eyes, and what she saw was a thatched roof and yellow mud walls?

What is this place?

Turning around, he suddenly saw a white-haired old woman with a stern face and a ferocious look standing beside him.

Before she could react, she suddenly felt her scalp tingling, and a force grabbed her hair and dragged her forward.

She grimaced in pain, and her body reacted immediately. She reached out and pulled her hair, then stood up, bent her legs, and kicked hard in the direction of the person pulling her hair.

The old woman was kicked so hard that she flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch! Murder... murder! Xie Yunjiao, you... you vicious woman..." The old woman screamed in pain. Ouch, this kick almost took her life.

This damned girl actually dared to kick me? She was asking for death!

"......Who are you?" At this moment, Xie Yunjiao was finally awakened by the scream. Looking at the old woman in front of her wearing a patched coarse cloth short jacket with a slanted collar, her head was buzzing and her headache was splitting.

Where is this? Are there still places this poor?

"Xie Yunjiao, you dare to kick me? Do you have any guts?" The old woman glared at her fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

"......" Xie Yunjiao looked at the person in front of her in astonishment. A woman dressed in ancient costume?

She finally realized something was wrong.

Before he could react, the old woman started to insult him again, "Don't you like jumping into the river? Why don't you drown yourself? You vicious woman, I will make my second son divorce you. This is outrageous! How dare you hit your elders? Do you have any respect for the law?"

Ancient costume? Pretending to be dead? Evil woman? Divorce?

Is this crew filming a costume drama?

Suddenly, her head felt a splitting pain, and memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind like a flood!

Finally, Xie Yunjiao sadly discovered that she seemed to have traveled through time.

Did she blow up the Milky Way in her previous life? How could fate play such a trick on her?

While she was still lamenting, the old woman, unwilling to be outdone, stepped forward and grabbed Xie Yunjiao's arm tightly.

Seeing this, Xie Yunjiao fought back with all her might, but she had just traveled through time and her body was still very weak. She was no match for her at all, and she seemed to have used all her strength.

Just as he was about to be dragged out the door, fortunately a calm and magnetic voice sounded at the door and stopped him.

"Mom! Let go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure walked over unsteadily. Xie Yunjiao was dizzy and couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"Are you going to rebel for this woman? You are so ungrateful. I am doing this for your own good. Do you think she is a person who can live a normal life? She wants to commit suicide at every turn..." the old woman said angrily.

She is Gu Huai's mother, Fan.

"Mom! Yunjiao just got married and hasn't adapted yet. She will be filial to you in the future!..." Gu Huai explained.

"You...you unfilial son...you married a ancestor..." Fan cursed loudly, gritting her teeth in anger. She had not agreed to it in the first place. Xie Yunjiao had a bad reputation, and marrying her would make her the ancestor.

"Mom, I'm sorry..." Gu Huai was also in a dilemma, but that was his wife after all.

"We're doing this for your own good. Look, she's already causing trouble right after she got married. It's better to do it sooner..."

"Mom, Yunjiao is my wife, no one can touch her." Gu Huai's tone was firm. He needed a wife to take care of the family.

Fan was so angry that she stamped her feet, yelled a few words, and then went back to her room angrily.

Gu Huai helped Gu Yunjiao to the bed. When she opened her eyes, she was stunned instantly!

As a face control, she collected a lot of photos of handsome guys in her previous life, but none of them were this...

The man before him was extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, deep facial features, and a tall stature. He was truly stunning, but there was a scar on his face that made him look a little ferocious, and he walked with a slight limp, probably because of a foot injury! However, this did not diminish his masculinity.

This man is top-notch! Absolutely top-notch!

Gu Huai could feel Xie Yunjiao's burning gaze on him. From the time they got married until now, she had never looked directly at him. He felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by her.

Last night she had been curled up in the corner, treating herself like a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, so why was she so...

"How do you feel? Why don't I take you to see a doctor..." He asked as his thick, rough hands touched her forehead.

The man's hand was a little cool, but quite comfortable. "No fever..."

Xie Yunjiao paused for a moment, then opened her mouth somewhat embarrassedly, "Husband... I'm fine, I just feel a little hungry..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started to growl.

Husband?

The man stiffened for a moment, then said in surprise, "You...you called me...what?"

Xie Yunjiao frowned and thought to herself, wasn't husband called "husband" in ancient times?

Did I remember it wrong?

"Oh! I'm so hungry that I can't remember." Xie Yunjiao was worried that she would be suspected, so she quickly changed the subject.

Gu Huai was relieved to see that she seemed to be fine, "Then I'll go prepare some food for you."

"Yeah!" Xie Yunjiao nodded gently and closed her eyes.

Instantly, some fragments about the original owner appeared in her mind.

The original owner had a fiancé, a student who planned to take the imperial examinations. However, at some point, he became involved with her cousin, Xie Xiu'er, and then insisted on breaking off the engagement. Heartbroken, and with her reputation already ruined, the original owner began to give up on herself and gained a lot of weight. Finally, her parents searched for matchmakers, and she married Gu Huai.
