"If you don't want to go to the countryside, then go die!"
Gu Mingyue had a splitting headache, and the words kept replaying in her mind.
Blood dripped onto the floor with a 'plop' sound. Gu Mingyue's eyes were glazed over, and she bit her tongue, trying to stay awake.
A sharp pain shot through her wrist, but Gu Mingyue forced herself to reach a towel a short distance away, bandaged the wound, and staggered out the door.
The living room was empty, not a soul in sight. Gu Mingyue followed her memory and found the first-aid kit to stop the bleeding.
Only by saving my life can I have time to analyze the current situation.
Unexpectedly, she, a working-class woman in the 21st century, also caught up with the trend of the times and transmigrated into a novel set in a historical period, becoming an insignificant cannon fodder female supporting character.
The original owner shared the same name as her, Gu Mingyue, and was a native of Shanghai, whose family was in business.
In an era when the average income was only a few dozen yuan, the Gu family's total assets had reached one million yuan.
This stems from the Gu family's foundation. Starting in the 19th century, the Gu family ancestors were engaged in the industrial sector, and their businesses grew larger and larger, accumulating more and more wealth.
By the time of Mr. Gu's generation, his assets were countless.
For this reason, the Gu family was classified as capitalists, and in order to avoid the impending disaster, the Gu family decided to move to Hong Kong.
As the only daughter in the family, the original owner could have enjoyed a life of being the center of attention. Unfortunately, she had a pair of selfish parents who saw her as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder and raised her according to the standards of a parasitic concubine in a wealthy family.
When they needed her, the original owner was their beloved daughter.
When they didn't need it, the original owner was a burden that hindered them from moving towards a better future.
Faced with reality, the Gu family only managed to snag three tickets to Hong Kong, leaving the original owner as the one who was abandoned.
After being abandoned, the original owner of the book had no choice but to go to the countryside to make a living.
A pampered young lady who had never lifted a finger since childhood, she worked hard in the countryside to earn work points to support herself, while her family, who lived a life of luxury in Hong Kong, never cared about her well-being.
In the process of waiting time and time again, the original owner lost hope in her family.
Fate did not favor this poor child either; his outstanding appearance made him the target of harassment.
To escape harassment, the original owner accidentally fell off a cliff and was never seen again.
When Gu Mingyue saw this part, she was furious. The original owner did nothing wrong; the fault lay with her selfish family and the unjust era.
At this point in time, the original owner didn't want to go to the countryside, and amidst her parents' harsh words, she ended her life with a small knife.
Gu Mingyue touched the wound on her wrist and secretly vowed that since she had taken over the original owner's identity, she would never repeat the same mistake.
The rough bandage on the wound quickly bled out. This couldn't go on, so Gu Mingyue decided to go to the hospital to get it checked out.
In her haste to leave, she didn't notice the flash of red light when the blood touched the bracelet.
The Gu family's residence was in a good location, and the hospital was not far away. Gu Mingyue arrived at the hospital before losing consciousness.
The nurse saw that her face was frighteningly pale and quickly helped her to treat her wound.
"You young girls are making a big fuss over something, that's the stupidest thing to do. As long as you're alive, it's hard to say who will laugh at whom."
The doctor who treated the wound was an older woman. When she saw the wound on the young girl's wrist, she thought it was from a broken heart and couldn't help but offer some words of comfort.
A smile appeared on Gu Mingyue's pale face. "You're right."
Fortunately, she managed to stop the bleeding at home; otherwise, she would have been in serious trouble by the time she arrived at the hospital.
The doctor prescribed her several doses of medicine to replenish her qi and blood, and told her to eat more to nourish herself.
Judging from the quality of the girl's clothes, she must come from a well-off family.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Mingyue went straight to the state-run restaurant, sat down, and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
Under the brainwashing of her family, the original owner believed that a small appetite was the normal amount of food.
They'd rather be hungry and drink plain water than eat a single extra bite of food.
In Gu Mingyue's opinion, only a fool would do such a thing; nothing is more important than eating.
After finishing a bowl of hot shredded pork noodles, Gu Mingyue felt completely comfortable, and her steps no longer felt unsteady.
When I got home, I found my family sitting in the living room.
Gu Mingyue pretended not to see anything and went upstairs on her own.
"stop!"
Mr. Gu scolded sternly, "Who taught you manners! You don't even know to greet your elders sitting here!"
Gu Mingyue smiled sarcastically. The original owner of this body had been driven to death by them, yet they still insisted on these ridiculous rituals. It was truly laughable.
The original owner of this body obeyed their every word, but Gu Mingyue was not.
“My grandparents have passed away. I don’t think that beast who abandoned his own daughter is qualified to be my elder.”
Father Gu was so angry that his chest heaved.
"Gu Mingyue, how dare you speak to your father like that!"
The one who spoke first was the original owner's older brother, Gu Mingyuan.
Gu Mingyue shot her a glare; the original owner's brother, Gu Mingyuan, was no better.
"Where did that barking dog come from? It's awful."
Gu Mingyue picked at her ear, then turned and went upstairs without a second thought.
"you!"
Enraged, Gu Mingyuan chased after Gu Mingyue upstairs, but fell behind and bumped into the door, getting a face full of dust.
Gu Mingyue opened the wardrobe and took out a box from the very back.
Inside was a letter and a jade pendant, left by the original owner's grandparents.
This letter was for the betrothal arranged for the original owner of the house, and the jade pendant was a token between the two families.
After his grandparents passed away, Gu's father cut off all contact with the other party, feeling that a poor soldier was not good enough for his family, and the childhood betrothal fell through.
Gu Mingyue recalled that after the original owner died, her childhood betrothed kept his promise and came to find her. After learning that she had gone to the countryside, he followed her there.
Knowing the original owner's tragic fate, he avenged her and even erected a cenotaph for her.
This shows that the other party was not as despicable as Gu's father claimed.
Gu's grandparents knew their son's personality; this was their way out for their granddaughter, and it was also Gu Mingyue's only way out at the moment.
After a long day of running around, Gu Mingyue was exhausted. She carefully packed away her things and decided to take a nap before figuring out what to do next.
After Gu Mingyue fell asleep, the bracelet emitted light again.
She woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar environment. There was a spring in the distance, and a thought in her mind directed her to go there.
Gu Mingyue scooped up the water and took a sip, her eyes instantly becoming clear.
This water is so sweet.
Could this be the cheat code that everyone in the novel has: the spiritual spring space?
She was overjoyed; it seemed that God was still looking out for her.
When Gu Mingyue was reading the novel, she thought the Spirit Spring Space was just a hypothesis by the author, but she never expected it to actually happen to her.
Overjoyed, Gu Mingyue began to survey the space.
Besides this spring, there is also uncultivated land not far away, and the entire space is about the size of two football fields.
Now I don't have to worry about my things being discovered.
Gu Mingyue silently said "get out," returned to the room, placed the box in her spatial storage, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
