Chapter 2: Preparation Begins
A knock at the door startled her. She hastily returned the bottle into the space ring as a woman entered the room. A middle-aged woman with worry lines creasing her face.
"Miao, you’re awake!" the woman gasped, rushing to her side. "Oh, thank the heavens. You’ve been in a coma for so long! How do you feel?"

She had a similarity to her mother in ancient times, especially the loving eyes. It made it easier to accept her as her mother.
"I..." Her voice came out hoarse, unfamiliar. She swallowed and nodded. "I’m fine."
Her mother sighed in relief, brushing her hair back. "The doctors said you were lucky. That truck hit you so hard, but somehow, you pulled through."
Indeed, being hit by a truck and surviving is nothing short of a miracle. Unfortunately, they will never know that the real Chu Miao has died and a different soul inhabits her body.

Hence, she needed to find a way to talk to her family and convince them that the apocalypse was coming and prepare everything. She also understood that to do that, she will have to expose her space ring.
She had one month.
