"Orphan? Really? Real-fucking-ly?"
Daxia was an orphan in the 21st century and surprise surprise, she's still a damn orphan in ancient time. Just her damn luck! Tossed away like trash, Xinyi, the original owner of the body died due to starvation, a...
That was all Daxia felt when she became conscious. The dreadful feeling clung to her desperately, forcing her consciousness to slip in and out as the pain became intolerable.
How could life be so cruel? She was only 20 — too young to die. All the things she wanted to do, she hadn't even gotten the chance to achieve one. What a fucking joke. She treasured life and treated everyone with kindness, but this? This was unfair. How could her life be over in the blink of an eye? Did the Gods not pity her damned soul?
"Ah..."
The pounding of her head became all too much and she slowly slipped into unconsciousness, allowing herself to be comforted by nothingness.

When Daxia opened her eyes, a flood of memories flushed in and she screamed, her hands flinging upwards to clutch her head as countless images flashed behind her throbbing eyelids.
The original owner of the body, Xinyi, was an orphan like Daxia herself, but her life was even more heartwrenching. By the age of 9, her own Father had sent her to live amongst her distant relatives in the mountains, believing she was to bring misfortune to his family. Every tragedy, he blamed Xinyi. The death of her mother and brother, she shouldered the blame and endured hardships a child shouldn't have. However, on the way to the mountains, the servants instead deserted the pitiful girl, leaving her to become a beggar on the streets. A month later, her 9-years old body starved to death and that was how Daxia's soul took over the empty body.
For what reason? How? Maybe this was the deities' twisted way of granting her a second chance at life. But what about her original form? Her 19 years old body, did another soul take over, like what she did with Xinyi?
How is this even possible?
Once the pounding in her head subdued, Daxia's eyes began to flutter open. Her lips soon parted to gasp mouthfuls of air hysterically - only to calm down once she realized she was on land and not suffocating under the freezing water.
