Transmigrated as the Vicious Original Wife of a Disabled Grand Secretary With Spring Space

Song Jin, a military doctor from the modern era, dies during an earthquake rescue operation when a tunnel collapse crushes her skull. She transmigrates into the body of Song Yunjin, the vicious wife of Xiao Yanzhi, a crippled scholar in the Great Hao Kingdom. The original owner had attempted to steal household registration papers, abandon her paralyzed husband, and sell their four adopted quadruplet children—Jin, Mu, Shui, and Huo—to traffickers during a famine escape. However, the children outsmarted her, causing her to fall and die from head injuries. Song Jin awakens in a dried riverbed, surrounded by the terrified children who flee upon seeing her open her eyes. She realizes she has inherited a desperate situation: she is a refugee with no household registration, a husband she must divorce to avoid becoming a vagrant, and four intelligent children who distrust her completely.

Upon returning to the refugee camp, Song Jin finds Xiao Yanzhi, who has just awakened from a fever and is furious upon learning of his wife’s betrayal. The village chief and clan elders are equally hostile, knowing the original owner’s true nature. To avoid being cast out as a vagrant, Song Jin proposes a compromise: she will continue traveling with the group and ensure the crippled man and four children do not go hungry until they can formally separate their household registrations upon settling. The elders, seeing no better option among the starving refugees, agree. Song Jin then discovers she possesses a spatial dimension containing a mountain, a spiritual spring, and fertile farmland. She uses this cheat to gather food and water, secretly sustaining her new family while maintaining her cover as a reluctant caregiver.

The narrative takes a critical turn when Song Jin recognizes Xiao Yanzhi’s name and the children’s names as belonging to characters from a novel she once read. She realizes Xiao Yanzhi is the future Grand Chancellor, a man who becomes ruthless and seeks revenge on his former wife, Song Yunjin, mutilating her into a living skeleton. Terrified of this fate, Song Jin resolves to heal Xiao Yanzhi’s crippled legs to repay the debt the original owner owed him, hoping to neutralize his hatred and alter her grim destiny. Her plan is immediately tested when Xiao Yanzhi’s stepmother, Madam Yang, and her faction, including Madam Qian and Xiao Jinlian, spy on the family. Driven by greed after seeing Song Jin’s food, they attack the camp, stealing roasted sweet potatoes and beating the children. Madam Qian attempts to shove Mu Mu into a fire pit, but Song Jin intervenes, saving the child and brutally beating the attackers.

The conflict escalates when Madam Yang and Madam Qian accuse Song Jin of fabricating the story about the food, daring her to reveal its contents. Song Jin opens the sack, claiming she traded her gold bridal headdress for the supplies with a caravan escort, a story designed to deter further theft through fear of armed guards. The village chief, seeking to maintain order, orders the attackers to be searched and beaten. Stolen sweet potatoes are found hidden on the children and in the women’s clothing, confirming their guilt. The village chief sentences Madam Yang and Madam Qian to severe beatings, temporarily neutralizing the threat from the extended family. Song Jin then decides to trade the remaining food and spiritual water for essential supplies like silver and winter clothing, recognizing that her spatial resources are infinite but her need for currency and protection is immediate. She begins to navigate the complex social dynamics of the refugee camp, aiming to secure her family’s survival while subtly working toward healing Xiao Yanzhi and avoiding the tragic fate foretold in the novel.
