Lin Ruowei woke up with a splitting headache, and everything around her was unfamiliar. She tried to open her eyes, but her vision was blurry. She heard a rude curse in her ears: "You stupid girl, why are you pretending? Get up and work!" She tried hard to concentrate and finally saw the scene clearly.

A middle-aged peasant woman in coarse cloth was standing beside her bed with an angry look on her face. Lin Ruowei looked around blankly and found herself lying on a shabby wooden bed surrounded by simple earth walls and a leaky roof.

She looked down at the tattered clothes she was wearing, and was stunned. "Am I too tired and dreaming?" She muttered to herself, trying to understand everything in front of her.

Seeing that she didn't move, the peasant woman became even angrier and slapped her in the face. "Are you stupid? Why don't you get out of here?"

The pain on her face made Lin Ruowei realize that this was not a dream. She tried to calm herself down and recalled the scene before she fainted: she was in the office, suddenly fainted, and heard her mother calling her. But now, she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Lin Ruowei struggled to sit up, her mind in a mess. She looked at the peasant woman, trying to figure out where she was. "Who are you? Where is this place?" she asked in a trembling voice.

The peasant woman snorted coldly, "I'm your mother, you damn girl, you were lazy at work last night, and now you want to stay in bed? Get up quickly, or you won't have any food today!"

Lin Ruowei was completely stunned. She tried to stand up, but found that her body was weak. She looked around. The simple room, the shabby furniture, everything was full of poverty and hardship. She felt dizzy and couldn't believe the reality before her.

"Did I really travel through time?" She was confused, trying to accept it all. She shook her head, forced herself to stand firm, and slowly walked out of the room.

Outside was a simple farmyard, with a few chickens foraging on the ground and a few children playing nearby. Lin Ruowei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She had to figure out what happened and why she was here.

She tried to recall everything before she fell into a coma, but her mind was in a mess. She felt as if she was caught in a huge vortex and couldn't extricate herself.

At this time, an older woman came over and saw her standing in the yard. She said coldly: "Xiaohua, why don't you go fetch water quickly? There is still a lot of work to do today!"

"Xiaohua?" Lin Ruowei was stunned for a moment, then realized that the name seemed to be calling her. She nodded and followed the woman's instructions and walked towards the well in the yard.

She held the rope of the bucket with both hands and tried to pull the bucket up, but she was weak and her arms had almost no strength. After several attempts, she finally succeeded in pulling up a bucket of water.

Carrying the bucket back to the yard, Lin Ruowei felt dizzy and could hardly stand. She knew she had to adapt to this environment and find a way to survive.

In the next few days, Lin Ruowei gradually understood the environment she was in. It turned out that she traveled to an ancient poor peasant family and became the youngest daughter of this family, Xiaohua. This family was extremely harsh on girls, and the concept of favoring boys over girls was deeply rooted. She was responsible for the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, took care of all the housework, and had to endure beatings and scoldings from her family.

Lin Ruowei felt extremely angry and aggrieved, but she knew she had to be strong, learn to adapt to this world, and find a way to survive.
