KLRXO Stories - Chapter 46: Eskimo Mom

Zhou Xiaoli, a carp living in Immortal Tai Yi’s lotus pond, transmigrated into a novel world and though she was supposed to be the female lead of it, another soul beat her to it!

After wandering as a ghost for 10 years in the novel world, she transmigrated into another body! Deemed a jinx, her grandparents disowned her and her family. Determined to build a better life for her family, she got to work! Soon, people in the village noticed that the Zhou family started having a lucky streak, and life could not be better!

Zhou Xiaoli’s father was no longer a fool, her mother was cured of her sickness while her siblings were all smart and resourceful. Zhou Xiaoli herself led the family as they cleared land in the wilderness, planted tea leaves and fruit trees, and started businesses… Life was beautiful.

That was when war struck, and the family was forced to leave and became refugees. Zhou Xiaoli: Don’t worry. I have a pocket dimension!

Reborn at the turn of the century, residing in Moscow, freshly off the plane, preparing to study abroad...Wang Ye only ever wanted a quiet life of modest wealth, to live his days in peaceful bliss.Yet, pushed along by the hand of fate, he found himself helplessly walking down the path towards becoming an oligarch!

Yu Linglong is the shu (born of a concubine) daughter in a general’s family. Since her mother was only a tribute dancer, her position is the lowest of the low. She used to live with her mother outside the father’s residence, and they only received some monthly money from him. He didn’t bother seeing them. But when her mother dies, she moves into the general’s residence.

The general is a very irresponsible and violent man. He doesn’t really get attached to women, just letting his lust dictate his actions. His wife is a jealous woman, who killed one of his previous concubines, because he doted on her too much. She similarly wants to get rid of Yu Linglong, in part to vent her frustrations over her husband’s cheating habits.

Because the sixth miss – the general’s legitimate daughter, was bitten by a snake, she needs detoxification. The cure was apparently getting poisoned by scorpions, to fight one poison with another. But since she’s already weak, they decided it would be better if she drank the blood of someone poisoned by scorpions instead. The general’s madam naturally decided to use Yu Linglong’s blood. During the process of getting bitten by the scorpion, the original timid Yu Linglong died of fright (and maybe poison? it’s never made clear). Then Yu Mei takes over her body.

Yu Mei is a modern woman. She was some mafia boss, so she’s very capable with fighting and overbearing attitude. She died because the man she fell in love with betrayed her and killed her. So she doesn’t trust easily afterward.

Since she took over Yu Linglong’s body, she refuses to adapt to the circumstances of a lowly illegitimate daughter, and uses her violence to fight for a peaceful life, where no one will challenge her and plot against her. Basically, she beats them up into submission. In the meantime, she acquires a tail – a very persistent prince, who only seems to stick to her harder, the colder she treats him. Did ancient men have such heavy tastes, she wonders.
