When Willow opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the unfamiliar ground, and the pain radiating throughout her body made her think.

She moved her hands, but she was not dead. To be precise, her soul was not dead.

Willow grimaced bitterly. Her career as a secret agent was over, and she had retired and returned home. She had planned to spend time with her elderly parents. Unexpectedly, the car had suddenly exploded on the way home, and now she was here when she opened her eyes again.

Coincidentally, the name of the owner of the body her soul inhabited was also Willow, who was nine years old this year. Ironically, this body once belonged to a girl from the same place as her. Her name was Belle, and she was a famous star and beauty.

This girl had come here due to an accident. She had been in this place for four years and couldn't endure her circumstances. It was a poor environment, lacking modern amenities, and no one would care for her or acknowledge her pain. Instead, she struggled daily for food, clothing, and warmth. If she didn't work, she would be beaten and scolded by her so-called family.

Belle couldn't bear such a life, so she broke the rules and refused to follow orders. Of course, this led to inevitable punishment.

Once, she carried her beaten little body up the mountain in search of food. While climbing, she was lucky enough to find a type of berry. Excited, she unconsciously quickened her pace. Unfortunately, she kicked a stone, lost her balance, and fell. The thorns on the ground pricked her wrist, and the blood that flowed was absorbed by the broken silver bracelet on her wrist.

When the bracelet was full, she realized that it was actually a legendary dimensional artifact.

This discovery thrilled her. When she entered the space and took a look, it was just as the legends described. There were spiritual springs, spiritual fields, and mysterious elixirs and fruit trees. Precious medicinal materials like ginseng and reishi mushrooms were abundant and considered the least valuable treasures in this realm.

There was also a wooden house inside the space, equipped with all the necessities for women, and even included the "Star Art" technique.

From that moment on, Belle no longer cared about her dysfunctional family. She spent her days away from home, and naturally, no one paid attention to her. Whether she was too much or not enough, no one noticed her existence. No one cared whether she was dead or alive.

This allowed Belle to survive by hunting in the mountains during the day and practicing the "Star Art" in her space at night. Perhaps Belle truly had a talent for cultivation, as she reached the first level of the Star Art after just a month. She grew stronger, her senses sharpened, and she became as agile as a swallow when she ran and jumped.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

At this point, Belle felt empowered, believing she was capable and feared no one, so she decided to return home.

Although Belle's family was prominent, it was large. In this ancient world, farmers worked in the fields during the day and had children at night, resulting in every family having numerous offspring.

The head of the family, Mr. Johnson, was fifty-two years old this year, and his wife, Mrs. Thompson, was also fifty-two. This family was notorious for being harsh and critical in the surrounding villages. After marrying Mr. Johnson, who could only read a few words, she gave birth to many children—a total of six sons and one daughter.

Belle's father was the third son in the family, and her mother was a woman her father had rescued while hunting in the mountains. Afterward, her mother married her father and endured many hardships, giving birth to three sons, a pair of twins, and finally a younger son.

Willow shook her head in disbelief, wondering if this family had been cursed in a past life for their excessive fertility.

Belle's uncle, Mr. David, was thirty-five years old this year. He was an honest farmer married to Mrs. Wang from the neighboring village. They had two sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Ethan, was eighteen years old, and the second son, Noah, was sixteen. They both attended school in town and were preparing for the scholar examination next year. Their younger siblings were Lily, fourteen years old, and Mia, ten years old.

The second uncle, Mr. Andrew, was thirty-two years old. He had a cold demeanor and was quite cunning. He married the daughter of Mr. Lee, who owned a shop in town. They had three sons and two daughters: the eldest son, Alex, was fifteen, the eldest daughter, Sarah, was thirteen, the second son, Daniel, was ten, the second daughter, Anna, was eight, and their youngest son, Jake, was six. Only Alex was preparing for the scholar exam next year alongside his cousin.

Belle's father, Mr. Dahai, was thirty-one years old. He was timid by nature but skilled at hunting. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Thompson, had the eldest son, Ryan, who was thirteen years old, the second son, Lucas, who was twelve, the third son, Mason, who was ten, Willow, who was nine, the fifth son, Leo, who was seven, the sixth son, Ethan, who was seven, and the youngest, Oliver, who was three.

The fourth uncle, Mr. Daniel, was twenty-seven years old. His temperament was inherited from Mrs. Johnson. He married into the Lee family and had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Henry, was eight, his daughter, Grace, was six, and his youngest son, Michael, was four.

The fifth uncle, Mr. Mark, was twenty-four years old and shared the same calm demeanor as Mr. Johnson. He married Mrs. Robinson, and they had an eldest son, Philip, who was five, and a youngest daughter, Emma, who was two.

The sixth uncle, Mr. Thomas, was twenty years old. He was the most upright among the siblings and was also preparing for the scholar examination next year. He had one son, Samuel, who was less than a year old.

Willow's sister-in-law, Bella, was fourteen years old and was treated like a jewel by Mr. Johnson and his wife. She was aggressive, arrogant, and domineering, possessing delicate features that made her a rare beauty.

In fact, everyone in the family was good-looking. Mr. Johnson was in his fifties but remained tall and strong with handsome features. Although Mrs. Thompson was fierce and sarcastic, she was delicate and fair.

After Belle returned, the first person she had to deal with was her sister-in-law Bella. This young lady treated all the younger family members as her maids, and her greatest annoyance was Belle's appearance. Although she was small, she had blossomed into a beautiful young lady, just like her mother.

As a result, Bella bullied her relentlessly, and any mistake would lead to Belle being beaten until her nose was bruised and her face swollen.

Mrs. Thompson was a quiet woman who lacked ambition. She seemed indifferent to everything, including her children, whose struggles elicited no response from her. Whether they were full, hungry, cold, hot, or beaten, she maintained her expressionless demeanor. Mr. Dahai was equally passive and dared not speak up, allowing the bullying to continue.

Of course, after being retaliated against, Bella ended up bedridden, nearly half-dead.

The consequences were severe. Mrs. Thompson immediately summoned her six sons to capture Belle. Belle would definitely not sit and wait for her fate; she ran to the mountains in desperation.

But she was still just a child. She was almost caught several times. In the end, she fled into the mountains in a panic, stepped into thin air, and fell into a deep pit underground. When she woke up, she was Willow.

Alas, Willow sighed deeply. This was a terrible situation. She guessed that people outside were still looking for her. How could she play this bad hand?

But the most pressing matter was to heal the wounds on her body. She raised her left hand with great effort and saw that the broken bracelet was still there. She had to see if this space was still accessible.
