    One day, as you were walking home as usual, you looked down, reading your favorite novel on your phone, "Transmigrated to Become a Millionaire in Ancient Times." The story follows the life of the heroine who transmigrates to ancient China, becoming the youngest daughter of a poor farming family. She has to struggle and work hard to bring wealth to her family.

    Of course, where there’s a heroine, there’s also a hero. The hero of this story is Xiao Ming, a gentle but poor, blind scholar. He was falsely accused and forced to marry a woman with a terrible personality, and together they have three young twin sons But eventually, his wife left him for another man, unable to accept that she had a blind husband, abandoning him to live alone with their children. Out of pity, the heroine steps in to help the frail twins, and over time, she and Xiao Ming find love together.

    You smile at the warm, happy ending of the story before lifting your head, and suddenly, the scene before you goes dark. Everything is pitch black until you slowly open your eyes, feeling disoriented. The scent of dust and dirt fills your nose as you shift uncomfortably on a hard mat and a blanket that smells old and stale, as if it hasn’t been washed in a long time. You look around in confusion and shock until you hear the small voice of a boy next to you. “Mother… I’m so hungry.”

    A small, thin face emerges from the blanket, looking at you with timid eyes. Your mouth drops open as you scoot back, only to bump into two more children lying behind you. The faces of the three boys are strikingly similar, and their bodies are frail and emaciated as if they’ve been neglected for a long time. As you try to comprehend the situation, a man slowly steps into the room. He traces his hand along the wall, moving carefully until he reaches the bed. His eyes are distant, yet a faint smile touches his face as he speaks gently.

    “Xiao Lang, Xiao Long, Xiao Lin... Is your mother still asleep? Why haven’t I heard her voice?”
