Chapter 001: Infamous

"Where did this wild man come from, bullying my family's Ran'er? Ran'er, Ran'er, poor child, what kind of trouble have you caused... In the past, the wild man bullied you and gave birth to a wild seed... Now you've been taken advantage of again... What a disaster, how can I live..."

Ran'er?

Who is Ran'er?

The intermittent crying in her ears made the woman lying in the mud by the lake slightly open her eyes. Standing in front of her was a blurry and towering figure.

As she adjusted to the glaring sunlight, her gaze swept over the people pointing and accusing her, and the voices of condemnation became clearer.

"This fool has been taken advantage of again?"

"Hugging and cuddling in the water, isn't it obvious..."

"We can't have such unfaithful women in Xiushui Village, it's really bad luck. If I were the village head, I would have thrown her into the pig cage long ago."

"She's tarnishing the reputation of our village, disgracing Xiushui Village. I'll go and call the village head, this time she must be thrown into the pig cage..."

The voices of accusation and condemnation in front of her made her realize that she hadn't died, but had been reborn in the body of a village woman.

The village woman, Ye Ran, was from Xiushui Village near the Great Ze Lake in Xilingzhou.

Because of her natural foolishness, six years ago, she went up the mountain to chop wood and unknowingly became pregnant after being assaulted by a man.

In Xiushui Village, if a woman has an affair with a man, she will be thrown into a pig cage.

Out of pity for her being a fool, the village head showed mercy and let her off, but she was still driven out by her stepmother, Li Chunhua, and could only take shelter in a dilapidated cave.

She couldn't quite remember how she and her child survived.

But she knew that the woman wailing and cursing on the lake embankment was her original body's stepmother, Li Chunhua.

The one wearing a floral dress and supporting the woman was Li Chunhua's daughter, her stepsister, Chen Sicao.

When she went into the mountains to chop wood and was attacked, she unfortunately became pregnant.

Her father, Chen Gui, was a weak and spineless man, persuaded by Li Chunhua and Old Lady Chen not to let her use the Chen surname, and was also driven out of the Chen family.

She took shelter in the cave and gave birth to a pair of twins.

On the night the children were born, the moon was half full, the stars were twinkling, and the night sky was filled with the light of the stars and the moon.

The midwife, Aunt Wu, helped her name the boy Xinger and the girl Yu'er.

Over the years, Li Chunhua had wished to keep her and her two children far away, so as not to be involved with them.

Recently, her stepsister Chen Sicao had reached marriageable age.

However, Li Chunhua, regardless of her reputation, brought some pastries from Xiaozhe Town and, for the first time, came to the stone cave to get close to her and her children.

After Xinger and Yu'er ate a few pieces of pastry, they fainted.

Although she was foolish, she loved her children and only ate a small piece, so she wasn't affected.

Seeing her children faint, she struggled to find the village doctor, Zhou Hai, to save them. As she passed by the lakeside dam, she was pushed into the water by a figure behind the apricot tree.

She clearly remembered that when Li Chunhua and Chen Sicao came to the cave, there was a flower embroidered with red thread on the toe of Li Chunhua's shoe, which looked quite nice.

She also remembered that when she was pushed into the water, the shoe behind the apricot tree flashed a conspicuous red in front of her eyes...

The man who saved her stood in front of her, his towering figure like a mountain. Just standing there quietly, an invisible aura of inviolability emanated from him.

Li Chunhua tried several times to rush over, but was deterred by that oppressive presence and couldn't make up her mind.

At this moment, Chen Sicao secretly pinched Li Chunhua's hand, and amidst the noisy accusations, her tearful voice rang out.

"Mother, why is Sicao so unlucky? Who would dare to come to our house to propose in the future..."
