The host's family name was Qi. She did not have her own name, but everyone called her Eleventh Daughter, and her courtesy name was Qingyao. She was the third child in Old Man Qi's family and eleventh in her generation amongst the extended family. Ever since she was a child, she had been mentally challenged. Nevertheless, she was truly a beauty, with fair and smooth skin. When she turned fifteen, Old Man Qi had wanted to sell her to Master Liu from the town center, but before they could sign her indenture, the entire family had made a trip to their aunt's home in Qingzhou City… What happened next was obvious to see.

The host could not remember anything about the Qingzhou trip. She did not even remember who had taken her virginity.

After she gave birth to the three children, her own parents hated her for being stupid and worthless to sell. She even created three more mouths to feed and leech off the Qi family. Last year, Old Man Qi had spent some money at East Villageside to buy a small piece of land. He built a grass hut and threw the woman plus her three children inside, leaving them to fend for themselves. At the time, the host's father thought that the four of them would starve to death, but the host happened to be quite a stubborn candle to snuff out. A year later, they were still alive and kicking! As a result, the host's father finally gave in a few days ago. With the help of her oldest brother, Qi Yuancheng, he dragged the woman and her three children, abandoning them in a rundown temple thirty miles away.

He was hoping the four would just freeze to death there...

This time, his plan worked. The host did indeed freeze to death…

After that, her body was taken over by Qi Qingyao, a transmigrator with the same name.

The moment she arrived here, she stripped clothes off a corpse and put them on. The next thing she did was feed the three children, who were on the verge of starving to death. Finally, they spent a day walking back here.

The three children walked alongside their mother back to the village. They had not experienced much warmth in their lives since the day they were born, so they were very mature for three-year-olds.

None of them complained that they were tired, working their stubby little legs.

Their faces were red from the cold, and there was frost on their bangs, brows, and lashes. Even so, their black eyes were bright.

They were finally going home. The hut was a little less than presentable, but it was home.

As soon as the four of them entered the village, some women noticed them.

"I-Isn't that the Qi family's daughter?"

"I think so, but… is it? The fog is too heavy, I can't see."

"Of course it is! Look at the three brats with her!"

"But the Qi family's daughter has always been half-addled. That woman over there is standing tall, her back straight, her strides bold and self-assured. No matter how you cut it, she's…"

"She's normal!"

"That's weird…"

The women stared as the woman took her three children to the East Villageside. As their figures slowly vanished into the mist, one of the village women suddenly slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh, if that really is the Qi family's Eleventh Daughter, we gotta go tell Old Man Qi at once! The burdens he threw away are back again!"

With the three children in town, Qi Qingyao followed the host's memories to the East Villageside. She looked at the straw hut beyond the fence.

"That house is…" Her first reaction was how it looked exactly like the hut at Yinxing Hill from My Fair Princess. "It's pathetic."

Xiaobao saw how disappointed his mother looked and hurriedly tried to comfort her. "It's not that bad! It's kinda nice."

"It's our home," Erniu said with a nod.

Dabao was nodding incessantly too.

Qi Qingyao looked down at the three of them. "..."

As she brought the three of them inside, she swore an oath. "We'll get settled down first, but once we earn more money, I'll get a bigger house and hire servants to take care of you three."

Dabao burst out laughing when he heard that. "Mommy, it's not even night yet but you're already dreaming."

"That's right! It's better to dream at night," Xiaobao chimed in.

Only Erniu looked at her mother in disbelief after the latter made such a bold declaration…

For some reason, she felt as though what Mommy said would come true.
