Chapter 1: I traveled through time and became a white-haired person?

The sky was gloomy, and a light rain began to fall, moistening the earth.

Bai Nian walked alone through the deserted campus, her pretty face expressionless, her eyes slightly dazed, as if lost in thought.

The rain soaked her clothes, but she didn’t care, continuing toward the classroom building not far ahead.

At that moment, several figures appeared in her line of sight.

Seeing them, Bai Nian’s heart involuntarily quickened.

She lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the cobblestones beneath her feet, as if hoping to avoid the attention of the few people walking toward her.

But her beautiful white hair made her impossible to ignore wherever she went.

Walking at the front was a boy.

As he brushed past Bai Nian, their shoulders collided heavily, causing her to stagger and nearly fall.

Before she could react, a group of girls immediately surrounded her.

One girl with yellow-dyed hair stepped forward and grabbed Bai Nian’s collar.

“Don’t you know how to apologize after bumping into someone? Where are your eyes?”

She shoved Bai Nian toward the others.

“I’m talking to you, deaf or what?”

The boy behind them turned around and blocked Bai Nian’s retreat.

“You bumped into me. Apologize.”

They trapped her in the center, pushing her around like a ball.

Bai Nian remained silent, saying nothing, as if she was already used to this.

She knew that apologizing or begging would only make things worse, even though she didn’t know any of these people.

“Damn, weren’t you so cocky just now?”

The girl slapped Bai Nian’s cheek hard.

She instinctively turned her head away.

Another girl grabbed her hair, forcing her head back around.

“Hey, you’re actually kind of pretty.”

The rain grew heavier.

Occasionally, other students passed by but paid no attention.

They seemed impatient and began punching and kicking Bai Nian.

The sounds of slaps were drowned out by the rain.

No one knew what was happening in this enclosed circle.

Her face was already swollen.

The small, weak figure was pushed steadily backward, closer and closer to the artificial lake behind her.

From beginning to end, Bai Nian neither apologized nor begged, nor did she cry.

She silently endured everything, too scared to resist because she lacked the courage.

The last boy in the group sneered coldly when he saw the scene and immediately pushed Bai Nian hard, pushing through the crowd.

The strength of a boy was no match for girls.

Bai Nian’s whole body toppled backward.

She tripped on the curb stone and fell directly into the lake.

The icy, bone-chilling water instantly engulfed her.

Bai Nian’s mind was in chaos.

She struggled desperately, but it was useless.

She couldn’t swim and couldn’t keep her body afloat.

Lake water flooded her mouth, causing violent coughing, which only let in more water.

She didn’t know how much water she had swallowed.

The suffocating sensation wrapped around her as her consciousness grew dimmer.

Her inner terror was replaced by overwhelming exhaustion.

She stopped resisting, allowing her body to sink.

Just before losing consciousness, the boy’s voice echoed in her mind:

“Run.”

“Huff… huff…”

Bai Nian suddenly jolted awake from bed, gasping heavily, finally realizing she had just had an incredibly vivid dream.

She instinctively looked around and found herself in a rental room.

The room was small, with only basic furnishings.

Books and an empty instant noodle cup sat on the table, and a black backpack rested on a chair.

The window was covered by curtains, making the room dim.

A drying rack held some girls’ personal clothes.

An old fan emitted a grating noise, blowing a warm breeze that messed up her hair.

Bai Nian’s pupils contracted as her heart rate uncontrollably sped up.

“Wait, this isn’t my home?!”

A completely unfamiliar environment stirred a flicker of fear inside her.

She instinctively placed her hand over her chest, trying to calm herself, but instead felt something soft.

What was going on?

Confused, she pressed harder.

When she lowered her head, her eyes widened in shock.

“Holy crap!!”

“How did I become a woman?!”

Bai Nian gasped in disbelief.

Only now did she realize the voice she’d just heard was gentle and melodious—a female voice.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and cupped it in her hand to check.

Her hair was beautiful, smooth, and snowy white.

Maybe it was just a dream within a dream.

Thinking this, she was about to get out of bed and check again when a sharp headache hit her.

Memories flooded in like a tidal wave.

After a moment, drenched in sweat, her gaze became vacant.

“This isn’t a dream. I really transmigrated—and into a white-haired girl…”

He and she shared the same name, Bai Nian, both eighteen years old.

In her previous life, he seemed to have died in a traffic accident right after finishing an exam, but Bai Nian couldn’t recall many details.

In short, two tragic lives had now merged into one, and she had been given a new life.

Bai Nian lay back down on the bed, resting her head on her hands, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

To her, becoming a girl was not something she couldn’t accept.

Complaints?

Whining?

None of that.

Being a girl was wonderful.

Besides, this world was somewhat similar to her previous one, yet very different.

Her verdict was simple: interesting.

Compared to being a corporate drone who wasted a life away, maybe in this world, she could find a new path.

Bai Nian silently processed her memories, rebuilding her worldview.

“Since I’m here, I’ll make the best of it. Enjoying the moment is what truly matters.”

She flippantly lifted the covers to take another look.

A blinding holy light shone, her heart raced, and her blood surged uncontrollably.

In her previous life, she had never seen a figure like this on any website.

“Calm down, calm down, this is my own body…”

“But really, being a girl is great.”

Bai Nian sighed.

It was a joy she had never experienced as a boy.

As for how it felt exactly—well, that was something beyond words.

While Bai Nian was still pondering quantum mechanics and the Big Bang Origin, her phone suddenly rang.

It was the alarm clock.

Seeing the reminder, she snapped back to reality.

She had to go to school—today was the last day of her senior year.
