Transmigration

Late at night, a man trudged down the street, his face etched with exhaustion.

He pulled a scratched-up knockoff phone from his pocket and opened Green Bubble. Seeing the balance displayed there, 3,329.5 yuan, he sighed helplessly. This was the reward for all the hard work Chen Ze had put into his part-time jobs lately!

"School starts again in a while, but I still haven't saved enough for tuition and living expenses. This won't do! I need to find another part-time job tomorrow!"

Chen Ze was a child from an ordinary family in the countryside. He should have lived an ordinary life, but society had dealt him a brutal beating early on. Hemp rope always snapped at its thinnest point, and misfortune always sought out the wretched! When Chen Ze was ten, his father suddenly suffered a brain hemorrhage and died unexpectedly. After his father's death, his mother spent her days in gloom, and less than two years later, she was gone too.

From then on, Chen Ze struggled to get by on the meager savings his parents had left and the help of relatives. As the saying went, children of poor families learned to take charge early. Chen Ze had lived up to expectations, gaining admission to a prestigious university in the country with excellent grades!

Chen Ze dragged his exhausted body back to the room he was renting temporarily. Without even washing up, he lay down on the rickety wooden bed and fell into a deep sleep. But once he lay down, he never woke up again.

An uproar rose all around him! Someone shouted, "He's alive! He's come back to life!" A moment later, waves of cheers erupted around him!

Chen Ze shot upright and looked around blankly.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Chen Ze couldn't help asking himself the three great questions of the soul.

Before he could figure out what was happening, a stabbing pain struck his head! A rush of unfamiliar memories was forcibly poured into his mind. They belonged to the original owner of this body.

Chen Ze, eighteen years old, was from Hangcheng in Dragon Country. His adoptive mother had found him in a garbage heap when he was still a baby, and nobody knew who his biological parents were. His adoptive mother was a master of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, as well as cheating, swindling, abducting, deceiving, and stealing! From childhood, Chen Ze had been either beaten or cursed by her.

This world was called Blue Star, and it resembled the Earth of his previous life. It was a world with more women than men, with a male-to-female ratio of one to four. Because men were fewer in number and far inferior to women in physical strength—a woman could normally take on ten men by herself—it was a world dominated by women. Women dominated politics, the military, and society alike.

Because men were scarce, polygamy was practiced. Even so, women who couldn't find partners were as numerous as the hairs on an ox! Men were physically weaker, so crimes such as men being abused, raped, and trafficked by women occurred frequently. As a result, the state had introduced a series of laws and regulations to protect men and established various organizations, the most famous of which was the "Husbands' Federation." The law favored men in many respects, so men had a higher social status than women.

"The same name and surname?" Chen Ze finally understood what had happened. He had transmigrated into someone with the very same name.

"A world where women are revered? Is it the exact opposite of my previous life? Since I've transmigrated into your body, I'll live in your place from now on! I wonder what happened to my body in my previous life. Will anyone come to collect my corpse?"

Chen Ze couldn't help giving a bitter smile!

The original owner of this body had led a truly miserable life. At eight, he had been sold as a child groom to a wealthy man's daughter, with the marriage to take place as soon as he came of age.

Even then, the original owner's adoptive mother had refused to let him go. She had left all the laundry, cooking, and household chores for him to do every day. When he was twelve, she had forced him to sign a three-year contract with an entertainment company. Every day, he had to model for various obscure brands, exploited to the utmost!

At fifteen, he had been sold again, this time to serve as a male attendant in a wealthy household, and had only recently finished. His adoptive mother had squandered every bit of the money he earned! As a result, the original owner had developed severe depression. He had thought his bitter days were finally over, but he had forgotten that he had come of age and it was time for him to marry!

Last night, the original owner had returned to that hellish home, only for his adoptive mother to tell him he was getting married! Unwilling, he had jumped into the river to end his life, leading to the scene at the beginning.

"That adoptive mother doesn't deserve to be called human! She's nothing but a bloodsucker clinging to the original owner!" Chen Ze shook his head, trying to sort through the memories in his mind.

Having lived two lives, Chen Ze couldn't help thinking that the first thing he needed to do was get rid of that vicious adoptive mother as soon as possible. To do that, he would have to rely on this world's laws.

The original owner was probably too kind. This world had such comprehensive laws and regulations that, given what his adoptive mother had done, there had long been more than enough to send that vicious woman to prison for life, yet the original owner still couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Sometimes being too kind isn't a good thing either!" Chen Ze couldn't help remarking.

"How are you feeling? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Just then, a muffled voice came from beside him.

Chen Ze slowly stood up. Apart from being stiff and shivering with cold, probably because he had been soaking in the water for a long time, he didn't feel unwell otherwise.

"Was it you who saved me?" Chen Ze asked, looking at a burly woman standing nearby.

He described the woman as "burly" because she really was tall and imposing! She was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with muscles bulging all over her body and short hair standing straight up like steel needles. She had a firm, resolute face and well-developed chest muscles. Uh! Chen Ze had no idea how this woman had trained her breasts into muscle.

In this world, women averaged 185 centimeters in height, while men were shorter, generally standing between 165 and 175 centimeters. Men who reached 180 centimeters were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns!

"Yes. I was jogging over from that direction and saw you in the water, so I pulled you out." Looking at Chen Ze's delicate face, the woman answered somewhat shyly.

After thanking her profusely, Chen Ze exchanged contact information with her and said he would be sure to visit her another day. Then he slowly left as she watched him go, reluctant to part.

Zhang Min! That was the woman's name. Chen Ze committed it to memory. After all, she had saved his life, and once he made something of himself, he would be sure to repay her properly. At that moment, no one could have imagined that Zhang Min's fate would be rewritten because of this!

"A world where women are revered? Heh, this world should be interesting!"

As Chen Ze walked down the road, he was intensely curious about everything around him! He noticed that the shop owners, construction workers, street vendors, street cleaners, and office workers rushing to catch buses and subways were all women.

There were very few men. The occasional one or two he encountered wore heavy makeup and revealing clothes, snuggled up beside women, and spoke in coy, affected voices. Despite having the original owner's memories, Chen Ze still couldn't suppress a shudder of revulsion!
