Chapter 1: The Concubine's Childbirth

University student Lin Jiaojiao was sent flying by a speeding black car. The shrill scream of her best friend nearby pulled her consciousness back.

Following a "thud" as she hit the ground, the surrounding area was filled with the noisy and hurried sounds of emergency responders.

With a dizzying spin, Lin Jiaojiao's consciousness gave a violent jolt, and immediately after, a sharp, intense pain radiated from her lower body.

It's over, it's over, my legs are gone! My life is over! My lower half is finished too!

Lin Jiaojiao gasped, struggling to open her eyes, wanting to lift her body to check on her lower half.

"Concubine, lie still, push a little harder, the young master's head is already visible," a frantic female voice nearby urged, pressing her body back down just as she tried to lift it.

"What young master..." Lin Jiaojiao spoke with difficulty, only to find that with every word she uttered, the tearing pain in her lower body left her drenched in sweat.

She struggled to prop up her upper body, only then realizing she was sporting a massive, ten-month-pregnant belly!

At the same time, a person who looked like a maid was wiping sweat from Lin Jiaojiao's face.

Lin Jiaojiao understood: she had transmigrated during a car accident!

But everyone else who transmigrated became the "big heroine" served by maids and nannies.

Even if one isn't necessarily the big heroine, at least they wouldn't transmigrate into the middle of giving birth!!

"Ahhhhh!" Lin Jiaojiao let out a cry of both breakdown and agony.

The scream brought over an old woman with a face full of fury, accompanied by two capable nannies; her booming voice swept in from the doorway like a gust of wind.

Before Lin Jiaojiao could see who had arrived, a crisp "slap" suddenly rang out, and five finger marks appeared on her pale, oval face.

"If you disturb Wanqiu's childbirth, I'll have you all dragged out and beaten to death!" The Old Madam's words stunned everyone in the room. Lin Jiaojiao was so angry she gritted her teeth, but knowing her current situation was dire, she could only swallow her pride and stay silent.

Yet the tearing pain in her lower body and the pain from the rhythmic contractions of her abdomen still made Lin Jiaojiao whimper in pain.

"Someone, gag this vixen's mouth for me!" After the Old Madam gave the order, the nanny beside her hurried forward and stuffed a cloth ball into Lin Jiaojiao's mouth.

Finally, the Old Madam glared viciously at Lin Jiaojiao before turning and walking out of the blood-scented delivery room.

The maid Bai Zhi, dressed in plain cyan, only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Old Madam off, and even the midwife's voice became quieter, "Concubine Wang, hurry and push!"

Forced by the situation, Lin Jiaojiao had to shift her focus to giving birth, thinking to herself that this was truly a disastrous start—getting hit by a car, transmigrating to ancient times to give birth, and getting slapped for no reason...

She didn't know how to return to her original world; if things went poorly, her body in modern life might already be lying in the morgue...

At the thought of her parents heartbroken over her corpse, a line of tears slid down Lin Jiaojiao's face.

I must find a way back!

For now, I must survive in this world! Only by surviving can I find a way to transmigrate back!

After quickly calming down, Lin Jiaojiao made a few muffled sounds, pulled the cloth ball out of her mouth with her hand, and began to push to deliver the baby.

She began deep breathing—first a deep inhale, then a slow exhale to increase oxygen supply and relax her body. Then, she breathed rapidly to alleviate the pain, pushing hard during abdominal contractions while having the maid push on her belly. After half an hour, with a loud "waa," the child finally slid out!

Lin Jiaojiao let out a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed.

"It's a big, chubby young master, it's a young master." The midwife reported the good news repeatedly, smiling as she cradled the infant toward Lin Jiaojiao.

This infant weighed seven jin and eight liang at birth, his body chubby and his skin fair. Even the maid Bai Zhi praised him repeatedly, her joy evident, "Concubine Wang, look, the young master is healthy and cute; the master will surely reward you handsomely!"

Lin Jiaojiao had no energy to look at the child's appearance, only glancing at the blue spot on the infant's chubby bottom.

... A Mongolian spot. Lin Jiaojiao lay sweating on the bed, recalling the blue spot on a baby's bottom that a teacher had mentioned in a class; it wasn't due to the mother having a "cold womb," but a Mongolian spot, a normal phenomenon that appears on Asian infants.

Lin Jiaojiao's thoughts drifted back to her university campus. At this moment, she felt exhausted and wanted to eat the fragrant fried chicken cutlets from school, drink a large cup of milk tea, and discuss with her best friend which barbecue place was the best, gossiping about the school hunk's love life...

Lin Jiaojiao couldn't resist the exhaustion after childbirth and fell into a deep sleep; even the screams coming from the neighboring Jinxiu Garden couldn't wake her.

"Madam! It's born! It's born!" Joyful cries from a group of maids erupted in the neighboring Jinxiu Garden.

But immediately following was the midwife's terrified, shrill scream, "Ah! A monster! A monster!"
