Chapter 1
“Woof, woof woof.”
The four-year-old Shu Yu’s frail body was sprawled on the ground on all four limbs. Her entire body was clearly trembling in fear, but she still barked with bravado at the dog in front of her fiercely, trying to scare it away.
The dog wasn’t big and barked back at her a few times. Shu Yu clenched the stone in her hand tightly and threw it over.
The doggy whimpered and turned around to run away.
Shu Yu heaved a long sigh of relief. She quickly picked up the steamed bun on the ground, patted off the dirt on it, rubbed her rumbling stomach, and started gobbling it down.
She had barely taken two bites when she suddenly heard a scolding voice. “Shu Yu, what are you doing?”
Shu Yu turned around and saw her mother, Mrs. Xue, with a dark expression. She strode over and slapped the steamed bun away from her hand.
The steamed bun, which was not big, rolled on the ground and fell into the crack. It could no longer be seen.
Shu Yu swallowed his saliva and reluctantly retracted her gaze. She stood up shakily. “Mother, I…””
“Snap!” Mrs. Xue gave her a tight slap across the face, sending her flying.
“You’re the third daughter of the Shu family, yet you’re fighting with a dog for food. Do you still have any sense of shame? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Shu Yu wiped the blood from her nose and said softly, “I’m hungry.” She had not eaten for two days.
“You are one to talk. If you had not dirtied my clothes, would I have been laughed at by the other Madams? This is a lesson for you. If you can’t even take this, what else can you do in the future?”

Shu Yu could barely hold back her tears. She rushed forward and grabbed Mrs. Xue’s sleeve, saying anxiously and carefully, “It’s my fault. I’m sorry, mother. It’s Shuyu’s fault for not being sensible. I won’t eat anymore. I won’t eat anymore in the future. Mother, don’t be mad at me.”
“Look at your hand. It’s still bloody. My dress is dirty again because of you. Get lost.” Mrs. Xue pushed her away, her face full of disgust.
Shu Yu took two steps back and fell to the ground. Mrs. Xue instructed the maidservant beside her, “Lock her up in the woodshed and starve her for two more days. She really doesn’t know how to behave herself at all.”
Shu Yu’s tears finally fell uncontrollably. Her small body was lifted up by the servant girl and sent directly to the woodshed.
Shu Yu was curled up in a corner, hugging her knees and crying silently. The blood from her nose had already dyed her clothes red.
“Mother, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. I beg you. Please let me out, okay? It’s so dark here, and there are bugs biting my hand. I’m so scared. I’m not hungry anymore. I’m really not hungry at all.”
Shu Yu wiped her tears and lowered her head. She saw a snake coming in and sticking out its tongue at her.
Shu Yu’s breathing stopped. She widened his eyes and started to tremble.
However, the snake seemed to have sensed something. It suddenly leaped up and pounced at her.
“Ah…”
Shu Yu suddenly woke up from the bed. Looking at the dim yellow light flickering by the bed, she slowly let out a breath.
She clutched her chest and sighed as she thought about the dream she had just had.
It wasn’t a dream either. It was a memory of this body’s childhood.
Shu Yu had transmigrated into a book from the modern days. A year ago, she had transmigrated into the 14-year-old third daughter of the Shu family, whose patriarch was the magistrate of Dongan Province in Dasu dynasty. Because of this, her original memory of the original owner was not very complete, and she would slowly recall it in such a way.
She didn’t know where the original owner went, whether she was completely dead or had other encounters.
However, Shu Yu was very clear about the ending of the book.
As the Shu family’s third daughter, she wasn’t a frequently mentioned character in the book and had nothing to do with the male and female leads.
However, the female supporting character in the book was the eldest daughter of the Shu family, her current sister.
Her sister liked the male lead, but she lost the entire Shu family. Just three months later, the entire Shu family would be exiled thousands of miles away. She was one of the few people who had appeared in the scene.
After knowing the ending, Shu Yu was naturally unwilling to follow the ending in the book. Even if she was not valued in this family, she was not willing to be exiled to the border.
However, she soon realized that even if she changed the process, the powerful plot would still pull the ending back.
After two attempts, she stopped doing useless work.
As for the Shu family’s ending, the book only wrote about exile. The books didn’t mention anything about their lives after they were exiled. Whether they lived or not, it was up to her to decide.
Since then, Shu Yu had been quietly living her life as the third daughter of the Shu family.
In her previous life, Shu Yu’s parents were killed by a gang because of their research results. Shu Yu endured humiliation for more than ten years, desperately making herself stronger, maxing out his skills, overcoming obstacles, and finally climbing step by step to the side of the big boss behind the scenes who claimed to be retired, but actually had full control over her, and became one of his indispensable confidants.
Then, with her own strength, she destroyed the entire large gang and avenged his parents who had died tragically. But the other party had a trick up his sleeve, and she also lost her life, becoming the third young daughter of the Shu family today.
Compared to her previous life, where she had to tread on thin ice every day, her life today was actually not bad. She ate, drank, and slept every day. Although there were occasional fights, she was a little invisible and would not be affected much. At least, she did not have to worry about her life.
As for his biological mother, Mrs. Xue, Shu Yu and her did not meet each other and ignored each other.
There were still three months left. After three months, she would be able to leave the plot and find a way to cut off all ties with the Shu family.
Shu Yu had a nightmare and was very thirsty. She got out of bed to get a glass of water.
But as she reached the ground, she suddenly heard a hissing sound. She turned around and saw a snake slithering toward her.
“F*ck, my nightmare actually came true.”
Shu Yu’s expression changed slightly. She reached out and grabbed the snake’s vital part, then slammed it to the ground, smashing its head flat in an instant.
The snake’s body wriggled twice, then stopped moving.
Shu Yu frowned. “Why would a poisonous snake slither into my room out of nowhere?”
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and the door was slammed open.
Shu Yu subconsciously pulled on the clothes at the side and put them on. Then, he frowned at the two old women who had barged in. “It’s so late. What are you doing?”
The two elderly women walked through the inner room expressionlessly to her and said coldly, “Miss, the old lady has been asking for you. Come with us.”
Shu Yu frowned. Her intuition told her that something had happened. Her grandmother could have just told her, but these two old women had barged into her room directly.
“Also, did that snake have anything to do with them?” she thought.
She stood up cautiously, nodded, and followed the two old women out.
The three of them passed through the back garden from the courtyard and did not meet a single person along the way. Even if it was nighttime, it should not be so quiet.
They soon arrived at the lotus pond in the backyard of the Shu family. It was called a lotus pond, but in fact, there were only a few lotus leaves as decorations.
The old lady of the Shu family was standing by the pool. Not only she, but the youngest son, the second youngest son, and a few young sons and daughters of the Shu family were also there.
She was shocked by the scene.
Shu Yu was pushed in front of the old lady. Yesterday, the old lady had been kind to her, but now, her eyes were filled with disgust.
As if Shu Yu was a dirty thing, she even took a step back slightly, waved her hand, pointed to the lotus pond, and said to the two old women, “Push her into it.”
