Yu Duoduo transmigrated from the 21st century into a three-year-old girl in the interstellar Jimo Empire, a society with a severe female shortage where every woman must marry at least seven husbands upon adulthood. The original child was born to Yu Yao and her primary husband, but after talent tests showed no mental power or potential for a plant space, the family deemed her worthless. Her father died in an accident while searching for a way to help her, and her elder brother Lu Yunye was lost on a military mission to retrieve their father’s remains. On the third day after the news of her brother’s disappearance, Yu Yao ordered the three-year-old sealed into an escape pod and launched toward Garbage Star, the desolate world where unwanted things were discarded. The little girl’s soul was on the verge of extinguishing when the transmigrator’s consciousness merged with it, carrying the lingering emotions of the original owner.Shi Yichen, a fifteen-year-old boy abandoned by his family ten years earlier, pulled her from the wrecked pod. He traded the escape pod for healing potions and brought her to his simple shack. Despite his own poverty, he gave her his only bed and protected her as his little brother, instructing her never to reveal she was a girl because the planet was dangerous for females. To survive, he scavenged daily while she stayed, barely managing to secure enough nutrient solutions. One day while digging through garbage, Duoduo picked up a red metal object shaped like a book. A mechanical voice identified itself as the Library System Tutu, a product of a ninth-level civilization. The system explained that it had been carried to Earth on a stone she had bought from an antique stall, and when she died, it used its energy to revive her and bound to her blood. Its sole function was to let its host study and apply the knowledge stored in its library.From the age of three, Duoduo studied day and night. By day she followed Shi Yichen to the garbage fields, by night she absorbed system lessons. Her mental power grew, and her physical condition improved. Then she discovered a patch of land in her consciousness—a talent space, a rare and valuable potential for a woman. Terrified, she clung to Shi Yichen, who comforted her and decided they must leave Garbage Star to research this phenomenon. Duoduo’s first system reward was a fist-sized high-level energy stone. Shi Yichen struck a deal with a scavenger merchant: the stone in exchange for passage off the planet. They stored their valuable belongings in Tutu’s internal space and boarded the merchant’s starship, carrying only nutrient solutions. On the journey, they experienced several suspicious equipment failures. The merchant invited them to a shared meal, and after drinking drugged nutrient solutions, they fell asleep. When they woke, they were lying on a grassy field with no ship or merchant in sight—they had been betrayed and abandoned.Fifteen years passed after that ordeal. Duoduo had grown into a capable young woman, successfully left Garbage Star, and been accepted into the elite First Military Academy on Imperial Star. Shi Yichen, whose mental power had reached A-level, had also departed and settled on the capital planet. Another man, Leng Ruoheng, became a close guardian figure in Duoduo’s life. One day before her scheduled departure to the academy, she received a video call from a woman identifying herself as Yu Yao. After fifteen years of silence, Yu Yao told Duoduo that her brother Lu Yunye was returning and wanted the family to reunite. Duoduo felt no attachment to the woman but agreed to go. She genuinely intended to attend the academy and also wished to uncover why the Yu family had suddenly reached out after discarding her. Leng Ruoheng expressed concern and offered to accompany her, but she declined, promising to contact Shi Yichen if trouble arose. He bought her a starship ticket and saw her off at the spaceport.Once aboard the ship, she found her cabin, lay down, and let her mind drift through her past: the fatal crash on Earth that brought her here, the cold abandonment by her family, Shi Yichen’s rescue and unwavering protection, the system Tutu’s guidance, the vicious betrayal by the merchant, and the persistent but quiet sorrow of the original soul. As she was deep in thought, a sudden tremor ran through her entire body. The journey to Imperial Star had begun, and with it the confrontation with the family she never knew and the secrets behind their sudden summoning.
