The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 1 Crossing
"Waaaaaah..."

The sharp cry of a newborn pierced her eardrums, and she felt a swaying sensation beneath her. Shang Wan frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

The azure sky and fluffy white clouds came into view, and she was stunned. There were blue skies and white clouds in the apocalypse!

Wasn't she already dead in the zombie horde? Is this some kind of paradise?
A sudden, sharp pain shot through her head as a flood of memories that didn't belong to her rushed into her mind.

Shang Wan blinked slowly, quickly figuring out her current situation through her memory.

She had traveled through time. This wasn't the apocalypse, but rather an ancient world similar to the one she had seen in documentaries—the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The original owner of this body was also named Shang Wan. She was the wife of Lu Sanlang, a wealthy man in Dongning County. She had a daughter and was usually disliked by her parents-in-law.

Yesterday, the husband of this body was imprisoned for poisoning the county magistrate. Fearing that they would be implicated, the Lu family convened a meeting of clan elders overnight and removed the original owner's family of three from the family genealogy, so that they would have no connection with the Lu family from then on.

Master Lu ordered the steward to kick the original owner and the child out of the Lu family, not even allowing them to pack their valuables, leaving them with nothing.

Shang Wan curled her lips into a smile. No matter what, being alive is a good thing.

She sat up and realized that she was lying on a dilapidated cart, which explained why it was swaying so much.

The man pulling the cart in front and the woman walking beside him holding the swaddled baby were clearly unaware that she was awake and were talking quietly.

"Miss keeps crying, and nothing I do can soothe her. When will the young mistress wake up?"

"The young mistress has always been frail, and she was pushed and bumped into a stone lion just now, and a bump the size of a walnut has swelled up on her forehead. She probably won't wake up for a while."

Shang Wan raised her hand and touched her forehead. Sure enough, there was a big bump. No wonder her head hurt.

She subconsciously used the spiritual spring water to treat herself.

A drop of clear water welled up from her fair fingertip, landed on the swelling, and disappeared instantly, without any pain.

Upon closer inspection, that patch of skin appears to be whiter and more delicate than the surrounding skin.

Shang Wan looked down at her bare, white fingertips.

Good news: Her spatial abilities are still intact, and the healing effects of the spiritual spring water are as powerful as ever.

Bad news: The level 10 alien power has shrunk, not only is the space smaller, but everything she stored inside is gone, and the spiritual spring water is pitifully scarce, with only about five or six drops left.

"Ah, Madam!"

Hearing the exclamation, Shang Wan looked up and saw the girl holding the swaddled baby staring at her with wide, round eyes, both surprised and delighted.

She was Xiao Huan, the original owner's personal maid.

"Young Madam, you're finally awake!" Xiao Huan excitedly ran over, looking at Shang Wan's forehead with concern, "Your injury... oh?"

Where did the walnut-sized bag go?
The baby in the swaddling clothes was startled by the sudden increase in the volume of the voice, and the crying, which had weakened slightly, became loud again.

"Woah woah woah woah..."

Xiao Huan quickly shook the swaddled baby and gently coaxed him.

The man pulling the cart stopped, turned around, and glared fiercely at Shang Wan with eyes as sharp as knives.

This guy seems to be her husband's servant, his name is something like Stone, and he's quite fierce for his age.

"What are you glaring at? Don't you want your eyes anymore?" She wasn't the one who was going to cuckold her master. Shang Wan wasn't going to suffer for nothing because of the original owner's legacy. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, incongruous with her appearance.

Shi Tou was stunned by the sudden burst of murderous aura emanating from Shang Wan. Was this still the same delicate and weak young mistress who would only cry and whine when something happened? How come she seemed like a completely different person?
He clenched his fists and said angrily, "It's all because of you, young master, that this happened. Why wasn't it you who was arrested and thrown in jail?"

"Shitou!" Xiao Huan, ignoring the crying child in her arms, hurriedly interrupted, "How dare you speak to the young mistress like that? Apologize to the young mistress right now!"

"I didn't say anything wrong!" Stone stubbornly pursed his lips and turned his head away.

“Young Madam, Shi Tou was worried about the young master’s safety and that’s why he said the wrong thing. Please forgive him this time.” Xiao Huan quickly pleaded for Shi Tou. “You were pushed down by Steward Liu and hit your head. Shi Tou almost rushed up and fought with Steward Liu. It was he who found the cart and dragged you all the way here.”

These events all occurred after the original owner fainted, so Shang Wan was naturally unaware of them.

Looking at the bruises on Shi Tou's face, she thought to herself that this young boy had quite a stubborn personality.

"I don't argue with kids."

Shang Wan waved her hand magnanimously, which angered Shi Tou, who turned his head to glare at her. When Shang Wan looked over, he quickly looked away, his lips almost pressed into a straight line.

Shang Wan chuckled inwardly. Was he frightened by what she had just said?

Hearing the baby in the swaddling clothes grow hoarse from crying, Shang Wan leaned over in confusion to look, "Why is she still crying?"

The one-year-old baby girl clenched her little fists, opened her mouth with only two tiny teeth, and howled loudly. Her small face, no bigger than the palm of her hand, turned bright red, and tears streamed down her face as if they were free.

It's such a small body with so much energy.

"Young Madam, please hug Miss." Xiao Huan looked at Shang Wan with pleading eyes.

The young mistress always disliked that her daughter was a girl, and she would never hold her unless absolutely necessary, let alone comfort her. But the young mistress loved to cling to the young mistress, and as long as the young mistress held her and comforted her a little, she would stop crying.

Shang Wan stared at her adopted daughter.

In the apocalypse, cubs are rare treasures, representing humanity's hope. She had only seen them, but never held one.

What if someone accidentally hugs such a small and soft thing and kills them?
Shang Wan was still struggling with her decision when the baby girl cried and reached out her chubby little hand to her. Her big, dark, watery eyes gazed at her longingly, and she mumbled, "Cold...Mother..."

Who can stand this?

By the time Shang Wan came to her senses, she had already held the little one in her arms, carefully controlling her strength, and even gently rocked him like Xiao Huan did when coaxing a child.

Strangely enough, the baby girl stopped crying as soon as she was in her arms. She looked at her with her dark, grape-like eyes, grinned at her with her little mouth, and drool dripped down the corners of her mouth onto her bib.

Shang Wan couldn't help but smile slightly, gently poking the baby girl's soft, tofu-like face with her finger. "Yuanyuan is such a good girl."

Yuanyuan was the nickname the original owner gave to her adopted daughter.

Although the original owner didn't like this girl, the child's father and the wet nurse took good care of her, raising the little girl to be chubby and plump.

Yuan Yuan seemed to have cried herself to sleep. She closed her eyes, put her chubby little finger in her mouth, and fell asleep. A few teardrops still clung to her thick, long eyelashes.

Seeing this, Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw that Shang Wan's expression was gentle. She didn't reach out to take the child back, but instead whispered about her and Shi Tou's plans.

The Lu family can't go back now, but the place where Lu Chengjing was treated as a child is still there, which can provide temporary accommodation for the three of them.

Three hours later, Shang Wan looked at the thatched hut in front of her, which was swaying precariously in the wind, narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue lightly, "This is the feng shui treasure land you were talking about?"
