Hello Hello. Obsessed with MXTX's stuff and read both SV and MDZS. Right now, I kind of have no time for the TGCF because of all the university applications needed as well as taking several tests needed for uni. Omg, I'm going to die from the stress. I need halph.

Anyways, I also uploaded this on Ao3, so if you see it there, don't mind it, please.

Chapter 1: Waking up as a Mother, a Wife and a Lady

She could hear the voices faintly. Who were they calling? It was extremely noisy, so she decided to open her eyes to check out what was going on. Right in front of her face were two women and a man with worried faces, with her being held close by the man.

She held her head, slowly getting up. She was getting a headache because everything was too confusing.

"What happened." She asked, no, she demanded these strangers because why would anyone worry about her when she had a pretty nasty personality, and she knows it.

"My lady... you had a Qi Deviation after training too hard. We thought we lost you." She blinked in confusion, but because of her face, it looked like she was sneering.

"Mmh, I'll just rest. Do not disturb me." She quickly got up and away from the man who called her 'his lady', letting the women pick her up when she swayed momentarily, and let them lead her towards her destination.

So she turned towards the two that were probably her servants when they finally reached a room. Since they were worried about her, they must be extremely loyal to her...or whoever she might currently be.

"Unless there is an emergency, keep the others out." She offhandedly said before entering and shut the door in front of their faces.

As she walked towards the mirror impatiently, it felt a bit foreboding. She closed her eyes to calm herself down, trying not to freak out or panic about what she had seen. She once more opened her eyes to inspect the features reflected in the mirror, twisting herself around.

She sunk into the chair in despair, resisting to put her hands in her hair in misery as she would mess up the perfectly placed hair.

She wanted to scream but she couldn't. Not with the body of whom she kind of knew about. Why-why exactly was she Yu Ziyuan?

Does that mean that that man was Yu Ziyuan's husband, Jiang Fengmian? And those women were Yu Ziyuan's trustworthy maids, Jinzhu and Yinzhu?

She bit on her carefully manicured nails, lost and upset. First of all, what memories does she have of Yu Ziyuan? She wasn't the main character at all, so she doesn't know how she interacts typically with anyone except for her family and the protagonist, Wei Wuxian...or perhaps Wei Ying since it didn't seem like he has his courtsey name yet.

So she got up and tried searching for something around the room. Off to the side, there was a carefully placed Dizi. She carefully lifted it up, spinning it around in wonder.

Was this the reason why Wei Wuxian could play the dizi? Was it for acknowledgement from the bitterly strict lady of the house? She clutched it for a bit before placing it back down on its holder.

As she inspected the room, she noticed that everything only belonged to Yu Ziyuan, meaning that Jiang Fengmian and her slept separately, and that kind of made her thankful that she didn't have to spend time with somebody she doesn't really know about. Jiang Fengmian would have noticed how out of character his wife is and would have probably killed her off for possession.

She needed help, desperately. Hell, she would even take a useless system from SV.

But it seems like nothing pops up and she was all alone in this mess.

She looked at the delicate, snowy hands that Yu Ziyuan has, it didn't have any wounds and were slim, unlike hers that was full of scars due to some cooking accidents and fat like her father's.

With much reluctance, she assumed the role of Yu Ziyuan. She looked carefully at herself in the mirror; from a slouched and defeated posture, she made sure to change it with a straight and a proud one.

She was clueless about anything in the MDZS universe, and she had to correct that. But first, she had to know which way was which in her own house. And what better way to do that than spend time with her children? It will give her plenty of excuses when watching the children run amock.

Sooner or later, the children would hear about her conditions and throw a fit, heading towards her room...probably. If they did, she could get to know her new role as a mother, a wife, and the lady of a large clan. She hated to use any children, but she didn't have any choice but to adapt.

So while waiting for them to come to her, she would take out any books she had in her room.

It was a good thing that she has knowledge in Mandarin that came from Yu Ziyuan. If she didn't, she'd be dead when she woke up.

It took some time for the children to come to her room, and when they did, they were a lot noisier than she thought.

"Please! Why can't we get to A-Niang?" "A-Niang! Are you alright?" The unfamiliar sound of children rang piercingly from the dead silence it once was.

"Young Miss, Young master, please. The lady is currently not well and is resting." Oh, she forgot that she requested them to keep others out.

"It's fine. Let the children in." She hoped what she said was expected of a lady of her status.

The doors to her room slowly slid open and in came in three little kids that looked worried about her condition.

"A-Niang! Are you alright? A-Die said that you had a Qi Deviation!" Yu Ziyuan's, no, her son pounced on her, eyes wide with worry as he clutched to the hem of sleeves.

"A-Niang! Do you need anything?" The only daughter threw herself onto her lap, mimicking what her brother just did.

"Yu-Furen...is it my fault?" Came the voice of the unexpectedly quiet child. She looked up from the gazes of Yu Ziyuan's children to the child that was recently adopted into the family. He squirmed in place, eyes watery with tears threatening to come out. She sighed, Yu Ziyuan was always too harsh on the child. She understood the need to do it, but she could have just quietly settled it with her husband, leaving the kids alone and happy with no strangers butting into their mess.

"What are you squirming for. It's not your fault, so stop feeling guilty." She spoke out what she hoped was as kind as the original Yu Ziyuan would go.

"A-Niang, are you feeling better?" She looked back down to her youngest child, feeling guilty that she took away his mother, replaced his mother.

"Mmh. I was just reckless. You three should never attempt to do what I just did. If I ever hear that any of you do anything that I did with carelessness, I will flog you." Yu Ziyuan threatened them, making them nod quickly.

"What about you, Yu-Furen?" Wei Ying spoke up timidly. She looked up from patting my children's head. She thought about what she said and nodded inwardly.

"I won't do it anymore, either. As a promise, I'll go anywhere you lead me to." It made the children's eyes brightened.

"Really, A-Niang?" If this was the reaction they made, the original must have never really played with her children.

Yu Ziyuan nodded, and they all were delightedly happy. She soon quickly shoo the kiddies out so they could all get a good nights rest. Yu Ziyuan thought inwardly that she would have to because dealing with children would be tiring.

Thank you to my beta for checking over this for me even though he's not in the fandom. And thank Grammarly that I've managed to write this okay even though it still needs to work on flexibility and slangs that people would use.

Grammarly only helps with my spelling check and all, but not how I phrase it, so the next post would be checked over by my beta for some advice or something about it because us humans are more flexible. I don't know how many words are marked in either red or yellow because of slang usage or how I phrase my words.
