After Crossing, I Escaped with the Ball in my Hand

Luo Qi Qi was a renowned researcher and doctor in her previous life, living through a brutal zombie apocalypse. Betrayed and pushed into a horde by her so-called best friend, Chu Yun Yue, she died with her life's work unfinished. Upon regaining consciousness, she found herself in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl with the same name in a historical, cultivation-based world. This new body was weak, sickly, and abused by her cowardly father and greedy relatives. Luo Qi Qi quickly asserted control, defeating two raiders who had attacked her and her younger brother, Luo Shi Tou. She discovered that her personal spatial storage from her past life had traveled with her, now expanded and containing firearms, medical supplies, and food. More importantly, a sentient ancient Blood Vine named Ba Tian had merged with the space, offering to help her in exchange for rare herbs to recover its strength.

The family lived in Luo He Village under the Dongyuan Kingdom, facing imminent threat from invading northern barbarians. The village was in chaos as refugees fled east toward the capital. Luo Qi Qi’s father, Luo Lao, was a kind but stubborn man who refused to abandon their home despite the danger. Luo Qi Qi, using her future knowledge and combat skills, secured their safety by neutralizing the immediate threats from bandits and her abusive uncle, Luo Lao San. She administered a special potion to her enemies as retribution for their cruelty. During this time, Luo Lao found a mysterious young girl, Xu Yunxuan, wandering alone in the forest. The girl had lost her memory and was dressed in fine clothes, indicating a high status she could not recall. Luo Lao insisted on taking her in, and Luo Qi Qi reluctantly agreed, sensing the girl’s potential importance.

As the Tatar army approached, the family decided to flee through the dangerous She Mountain rather than join the refugee caravans on the main road. Luo Qi Qi’s cousin, Luo Qiao’er, who had been mistreated by her own lazy and abusive family, begged to join them. Luo Qi Qi accepted her on the condition that she work for her keep. The group, now consisting of Luo Lao, Luo Shi Tou, Luo Qiao’er, and the amnesiac Xu Yunxuan, ventured into the mountains. Luo Qi Qi used her space to provide medicinal sachets that repelled giant mosquitoes, impressing her father and securing the group’s comfort during the trek. She also discovered she was pregnant, a fact hidden from her by the original owner’s lack of self-awareness. Accepting the child, she resolved to protect her new family and find a safe haven.

Xu Yunxuan’s true identity was gradually revealed through her interactions with the group. She was the young miss of the Xu family, one of the five great families of the Lingyuan Continent, renowned for beast taming. She had accidentally activated a magical painting in her father’s secret room, which transported her across continents to the Miyi Continent, a land looked down upon for its lack of spiritual energy. Her disappearance had caused a massive stir, with huge rewards offered for her return. Despite her lost memory, Xu Yunxuan displayed a natural affinity for the environment and an innate nobility that set her apart from the common villagers. Luo Qi Qi recognized that this girl was no ordinary orphan and that their paths were intertwined by fate.

The story moves forward with the group navigating the perilous mountain terrain, hunted by both human bandits and wild beasts. Luo Qi Qi relies on her firearms and spatial resources to protect her family while searching for rare herbs to help Ba Tian recover. The presence of the Xu family’s search parties and the looming war creates a complex web of danger and opportunity. Luo Qi Qi aims to establish a peaceful life for her family, but the turbulent political landscape and her own growing power suggest that she will be drawn into the larger conflicts of this world. Her relationship with her brother deepens as she becomes a protective maternal figure, while her dynamic with Xu Yunxuan evolves from suspicion to a tentative alliance based on mutual survival.
