Yao Jing's biggest pet peeve is when people mispronounce her name. It's an elegant name, but unfortunately, it has an unpleasant pronunciation. The children, unsure of how to pronounce the beautiful character "Jing," mispronounced the character "qing" (green). Little Yao Jing, scorning their illiteracy, followed them around, patiently correcting them. Little Yao Jing forgot that children can be mischievous.
Back then, during the summer and winter holidays, the most popular children's TV series was "Journey to the West." Ever since the Monkey King met Xiaobai, the royal brother with the attributes of a virgin, his most common muttering was, "Hey, you daring demon! Return my master to me!" "Give it back to me, my sister?! If you're willing to give it back, you won't steal it!" Unfortunately, due to the pronunciation of her name, little Lolita Yao Jing spent several years as a demon.
Finally growing up, in junior high, I saw the Taiwanese romance novels that became popular. They usually had this plot: the hero would hug the heroine and kiss her fiercely, saying, "You annoying little devil!" or "You're such a devil!" Fuck the devil! Monkey King had already knocked the word "devil" out of the picture in elementary school! Once again, Yao Jing was teased by her classmates for a long time because of the pronunciation of her name.
Unfortunately, by high school, she'd stopped reading romance novels with male and female leads. The aforementioned plot became—the top embraced the bottom: "You're such a goblin!" Goblin! By junior high, all the goblin roles had been snatched up by Mary Sues, so Jack Sues were too late! Yao Jing once again hated the Chinese people's ability to imagine.
After entering university, things got even more tragic. It was said... now... the trend was... human-beastiality! Damn! This time, the demon was a real demon, and Yao Jing was completely doomed. According to Xu Xian's sister's theory, Bai Suzhen's last name was Bai, so she was a white snake spirit; Hu Meiniang's last name was Hu, so she must be a fox spirit. This theory was almost entirely correct; Hu Meiniang wasn't a fox spirit, but she was definitely a rabbit spirit. Yao Jing: ...
Growing up like this, Yao Jing never thought that one day she would look forward to being called a "fairy" again. At least that would mean that she was still herself.

This is an ancient room with carved and hollow partitions, green hanging gauze curtains, a kang by the wall, a kang table on the kang, a heavy cotton curtain on the door, thick ropes hanging from the beams... and the towering "walls" around me... It would be better if my vision didn't shake.
Yao Jing looked around and realized she was lying in what looked like a large bathtub. The question was, who would sleep in a bathtub? Or would they sleep in a bathtub covered with a mattress and a blanket? She had never known she had such a strong hobby. Even if she did, she had never seen a bathtub large enough to fit a grown man from head to toe since she became an adult. Even if there were such bathtubs, they would have been specially made. Showering was the safest and most hygienic way to cleanse herself these days. She didn't deserve this kind of prank, so what was going on?! She wanted to call out, but she heard a few groans.
The truth is - she traveled through time.
She knew the meaning of the word "time travel." During a Penguin group chat, someone suddenly blurted out something incoherent, then apologized: "Oh, I traveled through time. Sorry, I was going to post this in another group." Then, true to her motto, Yao Jing chimed in. After all that, after being despised by everyone, navigating the topic for a full hour, and finally getting some advice from Auntie Ferry, she, someone who didn't really follow trends in the field, finally had a basic understanding of the term.
The term seemed quite common online, and she grew accustomed to it over time. Later, with the overwhelming publicity for the bizarre TV series on the toilet cover channel, she inadvertently gained a bit of "time travel common sense." Finally, a week after the Penguin Group time travel incident, she learned the most popular concept among young women was "Qing Dynasty time travel." Twelve out of ten time travelers are bound to be involved in "talent shows," "princesses," "house battles," and "palace intrigues." Of course, the most common phrases she heard were, "My fourth brother is so cool," and "My eighth brother is so loyal." She scoffed at the time, never expecting time travel to actually happen to her.
Yao Jing hated time travel, and even more so, the idea of "traveling through the Qing Dynasty." She couldn't see the point of traveling to the Qing Dynasty. She basically didn't bother to read any history after the late Ming Dynasty. Her knowledge of this period was limited to the parts of her high school textbooks that were on test days. She knew all about the Yangzhou Ten Days and the Jiading Massacres, the haircuts and land enclosures, the literary inquisitions, the Treaty of Nanjing and the Treaty of Beijing. She memorized them endlessly for exams, and it was heartbreaking. Seeing the huge sums of money lost and the vast tracts of land ceded away was heartbreaking, as if she were giving away her own belongings... She simply couldn't see the point of traveling to that era. And if she even considered foot binding, memorial archways, and zombie movies (hey, seriously!)... she'd turn away even more.
Because of this narrow-mindedness, she completely ignored all talk about the Qing Dynasty. After the Gaokao, she was eager to toss the last half of Chinese history into a corner to gather dust, hoping it would rot away. So, she couldn't even distinguish the nine lines in the "Nine Dragons Fighting for the Succession." She only knew that Kangxi's children were counted by the dozen, but she didn't know what they were called. Counting by the dozen? So many, and they weren't even in our class, so why bother memorizing this?
Yao Jing gave the Qing Dynasty a gorgeous back view and went to read her "Records of the Grand Historian". What she liked was the Han and Tang dynasties. She thought that anyone who offended the mighty Han would be punished even if they were far away. How powerful was the Heavenly Khan.

But now, she is wearing...
The problem was that she was well past the age of dreaming about time travel, nor was she in the frustration of real life where she longed for it. Of course, she wasn't so bored by her life that she already had everything she wanted that she was looking for excitement. Her life wasn't perfect, but it was manageable. Her job wasn't lucrative, but it was stable. She hadn't even considered leaving her current company, let alone traveling out of this world!
Great God of Time Travel, there are so many people who desperately need to time travel waiting for you to save them, why are you looking for someone like me who doesn't want to leave?!
She just fell into the water accidentally!
As she slowly regained consciousness, she remained in a state of disarray, unable to see or hear clearly. At one point, she thought she had drunk so much seawater that it had flooded her brain and completely destroyed her. She briefly believed she was in the hospital, but then she could only see small patches of color in the distance and hear muffled sounds. She thought her life was over. Even atheist Yao Jing chanted the names of every deity she knew, believing she would pay any price to achieve health.
Just as Yao Jing was contemplating her "disability but strength of spirit," rehearsing her future plans over and over in her head, who knew! Who knew! Who knew! Who knew that she would slowly regain her sight and hearing, and even... discovered she needed milk! Being breastfed! Adding the word "be" to any word takes on a strange, unsettling meaning. See, don't make wishes casually before the gods or Buddhas; you'll be worried when the bill comes!
Look, this little baby can't even speak, can't pee or urinate involuntarily, and his teeth are just starting to poke through... It really makes me feel so sad...
She missed home so much she felt like her liver ached. No place like home was better than her own. What did it matter if she didn't have servants? She had her mother to care for her! Even though their house was only about the size of a small child's current territory, they were incredibly happy living together as a family! Yao Jing rubbed the corner of the quilt with her only baby tooth, which had just broken through. It hurt, and her gums ached. Her nose and tears started to flow, and along with her saliva, they soaked the quilt...
Babies are in the purest and happiest period of their lives. God blesses them and doesn't let them think too much. Their current tasks are to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. If you use your brain too much, you will get sleepy. Yao Jing fell asleep involuntarily while thinking about it. In her dream, she was still lying in her own bed...
(Someone: Be content, this is the most worry-free time in your life. Enjoy the present and wait for the bad future.)
