Chapter 1 "Adopted Daughter"
The main plot of this article is about the heroine's background. The questions about "why didn't they do a paternity test even though they're already in Interstellar" and "whether the heroine is actually an illegitimate child" have been partially revealed in Chapters 67 and 68. The heroine's main mission isn't to defeat her adoptive mother or brother, and her storyline with the Xu family is limited to a small amount in the early stages. If you haven't read the synopsis, you can check out the main plot now. Thank you for your patience in reading this article, and I wish you a happy reading.
The interstellar train is moving smoothly along the interstellar channel.
It takes two days of interstellar train ride from Zhuyun Frontier to the capital star. The pale girl looked at the space scenery outside the window boredly, with her long black hair hanging down at her side. The service robot came to her side and handed her the medicine she needed to take today.
Xu Lingqu frowned, did not move, and couldn't help coughing twice.
Three days ago, on a perfectly ordinary day, Xu Lingqu was carrying out her usual mission in the 11th year of the Apocalypse—leaving the human reserve of Lake Arden to search for supplies. The next moment, she had been transported from the apocalypse into this so-called interstellar age, a frail, sickly young girl who bore the same name as herself.
They are all called Lingqu.
"Your health is more important, you should take the medicine first." A middle-aged woman in a dark green uniform appeared. Her name was Gina. She had worked with Admiral Xu Chengbi for many years. This time, she was specially ordered to pick up the adopted daughter of Zhuyun Frontier and take her home.
They said she was an adopted daughter, but the gossips in the aristocratic circle of the Capital Star were all saying that this was the illegitimate daughter of General Xu Chengbi and another woman who had an affair at the Zhuyun Frontier.
Even though they had no evidence.
Such inexplicable speculation seemed to be deliberately instigated by someone, and the Xu family had never issued a blood relationship identification report on Xu Lingqu and Xu Chengbi to clarify the matter for him, so the rumor spread more and more widely.
Xu Lingqu was unwilling to take the medicine.
Seeing this, Gina took the medicine from the service robot and took it herself, then instructed the service robot to bring out a new one.
"Miss Lingqu, if you need me to try, I can try until you are willing to eat it." Gina remained calm. When she first saw Miss Lingqu in the Zhuyun galaxy, she found that her face was sick and she looked like she would not live long.
Gina acted decisively and invited the best doctor in Zhuyun Frontier to diagnose and prepare medicine, and also reported the news to General Xu Chengbi of the Capital Star as soon as possible. What she didn't expect was that the biggest obstacle to the treatment was that Xu Lingqu himself refused to take the medicine.
"Then eat it." Xu Lingqu glanced at Gina and said lightly.
Gina took the second dose without changing her expression.
When she was about to take the fourth dose, Xu Lingqu finally asked her to stop.
"Give it to me." This is enough of a test.
The level of medicine making in Interstellar is much higher. It actually tastes like strawberry milk when you drink it. Xu Lingqu didn't like the taste and swallowed the medicine reluctantly.
Seeing that she had finally taken the medicine, Gina asked the service robot to bring her dinner before leaving.
Xu Lingqu tried to eat some, but halfway through, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable and nauseous, so he stopped eating and asked the robot to leave.
This body is also too fragile. Eating too much makes me uncomfortable, and eating too little makes me even more uncomfortable. I cough at the slightest provocation and vomit blood from time to time. In the apocalypse, it is the best food for mutant beasts.
The original owner died three days ago because of his frail body, allowing Xu Lingqu, a soul from the apocalypse with the same name but different surname but with the same surname after being adopted, to occupy the body and inherit the memory and language system.
The original owner's life was very simple. The Zhuyun Frontier was composed of four planets. She lived in the most remote Zhuyun-X. She was frail and sickly, and had no memory of her family since she was very young.
Her daily life basically consists of staying at home and drinking nutrient solution to maintain her vital signs.
Just three days after Xu Lingqu came here, Ms. Gina suddenly appeared and wanted to take her back to the capital star to be General Xu Chengbi's adopted daughter.
For three days, Xu Lingqu has been exploring this interstellar era alone through his intelligent brain.
The world should be divided into two major camps, the Interstellar Federation and the Interstellar Empire. The Interstellar Empire was split from the Interstellar Federation 95 years ago. The confrontation between the two sides has always been tense, with frequent small wars, which has eased slightly in recent years.
Xu Lingqu didn't quite understand why the Federation and Empire still existed in the interstellar world. She had originally envisioned an interstellar political system that was highly socialized, with the state nurturing and raising newborns, and most labor replaced by robots and artificial intelligence...
But this interstellar world is different.
The star system in this interstellar world is called Xuanluo, and it appears to be a multi-planetary system. The planets here are generally asteroids, much smaller than Earth, and there are about a dozen of them. The Empire and the Federation divide these asteroids roughly in half.
The technology tree of this interstellar world focuses on environmental transformation. Many asteroids are either too close or too far away from the stars, and their original ecology is not suitable for the survival of the human species. However, with the help of technological means in this interstellar world, some of the land has been transformed into places suitable for human survival.
The eight planets closest to the Interstellar Empire and the Federation form the Zhuyun Frontier and the Mulan Frontier. The interstellar population of the frontier planets is small, with only 300 million to 500 million people on each planet, and the military population accounts for the majority of them.
Furthermore, the interstellar empire has divided itself into four galaxies. The capital star occupies a single galaxy, the first galaxy. The wealth of the other three galaxies has plummeted. The fourth galaxy is not a slum, but worse than a slum...
It has the same shortcomings as feudal empires, with highly centralized power and ridiculously uneven distribution of social wealth.
Obviously this is not a good place, and the identity of the original owner she traveled to is also a mystery, but she still accepted this interstellar world anyway. No matter what, it is always much better than the doomsday of living on the edge of a knife.
Xu Lingqu cherishes this rare peace and tranquility.
She subconsciously stroked the white snake-patterned ring on her right index finger. This was the ring the original owner had worn on her hand on the first day she came here. The snake scales on it were so lifelike that it made people feel that this was not an ordinary object.
This world and the original owner have many secrets waiting for her to explore.

The interstellar train drove into the huge base station on the capital planet like a long silver dragon.
Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, Xu Lingqu was still shocked by the prosperity and beauty of the capital planet. The fantasy of the future world that humans had once seen on the big screen of movies came true. Countless aircraft of various shapes flew through the sky, modern and technological skyscrapers stood tall, and service robots in various postures appeared on the streets.
Sitting on the spaceship heading to Xu Mansion, in the central area of the capital planet, the tall buildings and crowded people disappeared, and on the ground was a huge mecha statue surrounded by flowers and fountains.
Compared to the science fiction world outside, this place is built more like a paradise. It is a residential area exclusive to the interstellar aristocracy. The ecological simulator adjusts the temperature and humidity here to make it like spring all year round, and the geographical conditions are transformed to make it suitable for all flowers to bloom.
The snow-resistant plum blossoms and the delicate green forsythia appear at the same time in a flower garden, which looks like the Garden of Eden created by God.
They then took a mobility scooter to their destination, Xu Mansion.
The car stopped and Gina carefully helped her get out. The architectural style of Xu Mansion was neither Chinese nor Western. It looked most similar to the style of the warlords in the Republic of China. There was also a plaque on it with the word "Xu Mansion" in the interstellar font, which looked a bit like regular script at first glance.
"Madam wants to see you first. The Admiral is still in a meeting." Gina reminded her softly in her ear, "...Madam's style of speaking and doing things is quite direct."
She was intentionally reminding herself. Xu Lingqu coughed twice to indicate that he understood, and pushed open the door of Xu Mansion.
