In the fifth year of Mingde in the Crimson Flame Kingdom, in the border city, in autumn.

Inside a three-courtyard house, the lights were on. In the main courtyard, servants were bringing basins of hot water into the rooms.

Inside the room, as a loud baby's cry rang out, the woman on the bed finally revealed a relieved smile on her beautiful face.

"Madam, it's another girl!"

An aged, slightly disappointed voice reached Shen Man's ears, instantly waking her from her daze.

She clearly remembered drowning during a maritime capture mission, so how could she hear people talking now? Could it be that a kind person rescued her?

She tried to open her eyes to see what was happening, but no matter how hard she tried, her eyes were as if they had been stitched shut; she couldn't open them. In desperation, she couldn't help but shout, "Ugh... ugh..."

She was startled by the sound she made! What...what was that sound like a baby?

My God, how did she turn into a baby?

Someone tell her what's going on!

"Oh my, the third sister can already make a sound right after she was born. She's definitely a clever one!" The old woman's voice rang in Shen Man's ears again.

"Granny Sun, since it's a girl, let's do as we agreed before and send her out of the manor as soon as possible. Whether she lives or dies is up to fate!"

At that moment, another woman's weak voice rang out in the room. She spoke the most cruel words in the gentlest and sweetest tone.

"Madam, Third Sister is so beautiful. Are you really going to abandon her? Why don't you keep her?"

Granny Sun gently touched Shen Man's cheek with her finger and said to the woman.

But before she could finish speaking, the woman interrupted her.

"Granny Sun, I have no other choice. If that lowly maid in Furong Residence gives birth to a son this time, given how much the Marquis dotes on her, he will surely pass the title of heir to her son. Then we will have nothing left!"

"Yes, this old servant obeys!" Helpless, Granny Sun had no choice but to shut her mouth.

"This matter must be handled discreetly... Granny Sun, you should leave the city tonight and get her as far away as possible, so that no one finds out!"

"Yes, this old servant will take care of it immediately! But Madam, what about the young master?"

"I've already arranged everything; they'll bring the person in shortly. You don't need to worry about this; go on your way!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Shen Man felt herself being lifted up by a pair of large hands.

In her panic, she grabbed wildly with her little hands and unexpectedly grabbed something hard.

She clung to that thing tightly, as if it were a lifeline, refusing to let go.

"Oh my, Madam, the young lady has caught your jade pendant!" Granny Sun exclaimed in surprise to the woman.

"Sigh, she's quite clever, already able to grasp things at such a young age! It's a pity, what can you do when she's a girl! Oh well, since she's unwilling to let go, I'll just cut the jade pendant off and give it to her!"

Hearing the woman's words, Granny Sun had no choice but to put Shen Man back on the bed, find a pair of scissors, and cut the string that held the jade pendant.

After listening to their conversation, Shen Man roughly understood what was going on.

I believe that after I died, I transmigrated into the home of a wealthy family in ancient times.

Her mother, who should have been the matriarch of the family, wanted to give birth to a son to inherit the family business, but unexpectedly gave birth to her daughter instead.

The man of the house had another woman, who was also pregnant. The woman was worried that she would give birth to a boy, so she decided to abandon herself and raise a boy in return.

Alas, how unfortunate must I be to have such a heartless and ungrateful mother! But she still wants to keep that jade pendant; she needs to know where she came from in this life.

As she was lost in her thoughts, she felt herself being lifted up again and moved around quickly.

After all, she was just a newborn baby who hadn't had a drop of milk since birth. She was both sleepy and hungry, and after being carried by Granny Sun for a long, bumpy ride, she fell asleep soon after.

When she woke up again, she didn't know how much time had passed.

She had been removed from Granny Sun's embrace and placed on the cold ground. She strained to open her eyes, only able to see a cluster of tall trees through the gaps in her swaddling clothes.

"Third Miss, please don't blame this old servant for being heartless and leaving you in this deep mountain forest. Only in this way can no one discover your existence. Alas, if only you were a boy, Madam wouldn't have had to adopt someone else's child!"

As Granny Sun spoke, she walked out.

Shen Man originally wanted to call out, but fearing it would attract wild animals from the forest, she only moved her hand slightly and found that the jade pendant was still in her hand.

In her previous life, when she was five years old, both her parents died while on a mission. She grew up with her grandparents and learned the family's medical skills.

Later, she was admitted to the China Police Academy with excellent grades. After graduating from the police academy, she followed in her parents' footsteps and became a policewoman skilled in medicine.

After three years in the police force, she has become one of the best in the police force, participating in the investigation of countless important cases.

This time, however, the biggest arms smuggler in Southeast Asia was a desperate criminal. She chose to sacrifice herself to save her comrades on the mission.

She felt that she had already suffered enough in her previous life by losing her parents at a young age.

Unexpectedly, this life is even more miserable than the last. I was thrown into this desolate forest right after I was born.

She sighed deeply, looking up at the sky, and muttered to herself, "I must be the most miserable transmigrator in history, right? I was abandoned by my own mother as soon as I transmigrated here, and I might be going back to the underworld in a little while. Sigh, it seems this trip was just a formality. I came and went so quickly! I haven't even tasted the Meng Po soup yet, I must have a good taste when I get back!"

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, rested, and listened carefully to the sounds around her.

No matter how powerful she was in her previous life, she couldn't do anything now, because she was just a newborn baby. Perhaps all she could do was wait to die.

"Husband, are you sure you're not mistaken? Where is that smell of human flesh coming from in the middle of the night?"

Suddenly, a voice came from inside, startling Shen Man who had been resting with her eyes closed.

“How could I be wrong? I am the most powerful tiger king in this forest! I’m sure someone has entered this forest, and it’s nearby. Let’s search carefully again.”

Tiger King? My god, these are actually two tigers talking? She's traveled through time and can even understand animal language?

Is this a case of fate slapping her in the face and then sending her a sweet treat? Too bad, she's about to become their meal!

"Husband, there seems to be something over there, let's go take a look!"

"Yeah, I told you there would be someone there, but you didn't believe me. Looks like our kids are in for a treat tonight!"

Then, Shen Man heard a rustling sound getting closer and closer to her.

Although she was terrified, she was powerless and could only close her eyes and wait for death.

"Oh, it's a human baby, and she's quite chubby. Husband, let's take her home!"

The tigress stepped forward, used her mouth to pull off the swaddling clothes covering her face, and said to the tiger king.

"Yes, it's perfect to take it back as a snack for our children."

After saying that, they each picked up the swaddling clothes containing Shen Man, one at each end, and swayed back home.

Shen Man felt a little dizzy from being shaken around, and drifted off to sleep again.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she was awakened again by a shouting sound.

She opened her eyes and saw seven or eight pairs of amber eyes staring at her from above. She knew without a doubt that she had stumbled into a tiger's den.

These tigers are really something! If they wanted to eat her, why didn't they just do it while she was asleep? Why did they have to wake her up and let her experience the fear of death? If she had known that this was what would happen after she transmigrated, she should have strangled herself when she was born!

"Mother, she opened her eyes! She's still alive!" a tiger cub excitedly told its mother when it saw her open her eyes.

“Your father and I found her in the mountains. Your father said he brought her back to make snacks for you. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and eat her while she's still alive.”

"Mom, is she human? She's so beautiful, unlike us... I don't want to eat her, I want to keep her and play with her!"

"Little Six, are you stupid? She's human, of course she's different from us!"

The larger tiger cub raised its paw and patted the smaller tiger cub, saying something.
