Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Feng Xi slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself in complete darkness. She couldn't move, and a suffocating feeling of oppression permeated the air. She struggled, only to find herself buried deep in the earth. Waves of excruciating pain shot through her body, especially in her abdomen, as if a sharp blade were constantly stirring.

Feng Xi frowned, her heart filled with confusion and unease. She endured the pain, took a pill from her space, and placed it in her mouth. The pill quickly took effect, and the wound slowly healed until it completely disappeared, leaving not even a trace of a scar. However, when she carefully examined other parts of the body, she was shocked to find that many of the wounds had been pierced by bullets. Clearly, this body had been subjected to a barrage of gunfire.

Anger surged in her heart, Feng Xi's eyes widened, and she loudly demanded, "Zero Zero One, what's going on?"

Ling Lingyi replied timidly, "I'm sorry! Host, due to my mistake, your body was already dead when it was teleported here."

Feng Xi stamped her feet in anger. She sat up abruptly, looked around, and gritted her teeth, "Of course I know I'm dead! Buried in the earth, covered in wounds, if not dead, then asleep? Tell me the plot!" The system then relayed the plot to her, and Feng Xi instantly reconstructed her own body: Yu Manli, beaten to a pulp by the Japanese while trying to save a man named Mingtai. This world primarily tells the story of the Wang Puppet regime during the Anti-Japanese War. A wealthy young man named Mingtai, on his way to study at the University of Hong Kong, is spotted by Wang Tianfeng, a high-ranking official in the Military Control Commission. He is abducted and sent to a training camp, where he undergoes arduous training and becomes a skilled Military Control Commission agent. Mingtai and his lifelong partner, Yu Manli, then travel to Shanghai to conduct a series of covert operations. In the "Smash Plan," Mingtai teams up with Cheng Jinyun, a member of the underground Chinese Communist Party, to successfully detonate a special train carrying high-ranking Japanese military officials under the Wang Puppet regime. During the battle, the two develop a romantic connection. Mingtai subsequently assassinates high-ranking Wang Puppet officials and Japanese spies, achieving remarkable feats. However, as Mingtai's actions progressed, he gradually grew disillusioned with the Kuomintang's attempts to profit from the national crisis. Cheng Jinyun recruited him as an undercover agent for the Chinese Communist Party. To achieve final victory on the front lines, Mingtai and his brother Minglou, whose complex personalities were evident, launched Operation "Death Knell," successfully misleading the Japanese with false intelligence and securing a turning point in the War of Resistance. After gaining clarity, she looked down at her body, discovering it was covered in blood, her clothes tattered, and stained with dirt. Seeing no one around, she confidently entered the space and bathed in the spiritual spring. After her bath, she sat on the shore, pondering for a moment before deciding to use her mind to pluck a plant of Izumo Juelian and consume it. After all, her body was suffering from numerous hidden injuries, and consuming the Izumo Juelian would improve its health while also aiding in the practice of qigong techniques and generating internal energy. After Yu Manli washed herself and changed into a red cheongsam, she selected a pair of compact leather shoes. Then, she pulled a vintage bag from her collection within her small world and slung it over her shoulder. Finally, she once again observed the outside world, confirming that no one was around before leaving the dimension and heading toward the city. Yu Manli returned to Shanghai, arriving in the French Concession and spending ten small yellow croakers (gold bars) to create a new identity. She disguised herself as a Chinese expatriate in France, retaining the name "Yu Manli." From now on, she was no longer Yu Manli, a military intelligence agent, but a returned student from France.

Yu Manli opened an exquisite cosmetics shop in the French Concession. All the cosmetics sold there were meticulously handcrafted by her. However, she did not actively seek out Mingtai. Deep in her memory, she realized that Mingtai actually had a deep affection for her, but because of her past experience working in a brothel and being married, he looked down on her, believing her humble background meant she could not enter the Ming family.

The system's assigned task is to marry into the Ming family, but it doesn't explicitly require her to marry Ming Tai. Therefore, Yu Manli decides to target the scheming and calm eldest brother, Ming Lou. However, she knows Ming Jing might object to the match, as she has always valued the family's reputation and upbringing. If she hopes to successfully marry Ming Lou, Yu Manli must overcome these obstacles.

Yu Manli learned from the system that the situation was critical. Mingtai had faked his death, and Wang Manchun, after being captured by the Special High Technology Department, had successfully escaped and kidnapped Mingjing. They were now at the flour mill. Upon hearing this news, Yu Manli was extremely anxious and rushed to the flour mill.

When Yu Manli arrived at the flour mill, she carefully climbed onto the roof. There, she saw Wang Manchun tied Mingjing to a chair, then went upstairs to make a phone call. Using her qinggong skills, Yu Manli quietly slid down from the roof, quickly reached Mingjing, and began to untie her.

At this time, Mingjing asked curiously: "Who are you?"

Yu Manli didn't have time to answer. She quickly untied the rope, pulled up Mingjing, and once again used her Qinggong skills to carry her to the roof. Then, they ran all the way along the roof. When Wang Manchun returned, she found that she was gone and hurriedly ordered her men to search everywhere.

Here, Yu Manli ran desperately, and said to Mingjing breathlessly: "My name is Yu Manli." The two ran until they reached a safe place before stopping. Then, they found a little boy selling newspapers. Yu Manli took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to the little boy, and told him to convey a message to Minglou: "Sister went to the best store in the French Concession to buy rouge and powder." Then, Yu Manli took Mingjing to her small shop in the French Concession - Liren! When they opened the door, Mingjing was surprised to find that the room was filled with all kinds of rouge and powder and other women's products. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is actually your shop!"

Yu Manli smiled and replied, "Yes! Everything here is made by me. Come, have a glass of water first!" As she said that, she picked up a glass of water and handed it to Mingjing.

Ming Jing took the cup of water, but suddenly remembered what Yu Manli had told Ming Lou. She began to feel a little worried and couldn't help asking, "Miss Yu, do you think Ming Lou really knows I'm here?"

Yu Manli answered Mingjing's question seriously. She said confidently, "Yes, in the entire French Concession, only the rouge and powder we sell are called rouge and powder. All other products can only be called cosmetics. And if you ask around, everyone will say our rouge and powder are the best..."

Mingjing couldn't help but laugh, feeling quite satisfied with Manli's answer. Meanwhile, Yu Manli was already busy in the small kitchen at the back, soon serving two bowls of steaming hot fried egg noodles. She handed one to Mingjing and shared the other.

However, before they finished eating, there was a knock on the door. Ming Jing quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up to open the door. Standing at the door were Ah Cheng and Ming Lou. She hurriedly let them in. Ming Lou was surprised to see Yu Manli. He had received information that Yu Manli was already dead, having died when Wang Manchun captured Ming Tai. The woman in front of him looked exactly like Yu Manli. Why was that?

Ming Lou then said, "Long time no see! Miss Manli..."

Yu Manli smiled and said, "I wonder if Mr. Ming is going to repay me for saving your sister!"

Seeing that Yu Manli didn't want to talk about the past, Minglou asked generously: "What does Miss Manli need? My Ming family will definitely find a way to make it happen to repay your life-saving grace." Mingjing asked, confused, "Do you know each other?"

Yu Manli said, "I know him. Mingtai and I used to be colleagues. I liked him, but he disliked my poor background, so we didn't get together!"

After hearing this, Ming Jing said angrily, "I'm going to beat him up later. Manli is such a good girl, yet she's still idle!"

Yu Manli looked at Ming Lou and said, "I heard that Mr. Ming is still single. I wonder if I can ask you to marry me. I am not a member of the Military Control Commission or any other power. I am just an overseas student. I want to find someone to rely on for the rest of my life..."
