Once upon a time-travel leap, Mu Caiwei, the gold-medal bodyguard, turned into a poor peasant girl, Mu Caiwei, who starved to death. With nothing to their name, and an empty rice vat, facing a skinny, malnourished mother and a bunch of hungry younger siblings, Mu Caiwei rolled up her sleeves and shouted, "Sister's going to get rich!" Although she had followed a proud and aloof path in her past life, times were now different. At the small stall, Mu Caiwei donned an apron, zealously crying out, "Fried skewers, fried skewers, all kinds of fried skewers…” In the fabric store, Mu Caiwei expertly worked the abacus, "This Q version of damask should be sold for fifty taels of silver a piece…” …… Soon, the people of the Great Jin Nation knew that the richest person in the Great Jin was not only a stunning, young girl, but also a generous and philanthropic individual! Mu Caiwei couldn't dream that she received a miracle — a magical space, by simply carrying out a few random acts of charity! She also received an extremely “embarrassing” — predestined marriage! In a nutshell: The stunning transition from poverty-stricken peasant girl to Empress! I'm not good with summaries, so please move on to the main text.

Welcome to Medford—a place where the extraordinary hides beneath the mundane, where power does not belong to heroes or gods but to everyday people who carry the weight of their choices. In this world, Hope is not just a name; it is a woman caught on the cusp of a revelation that will shatter everything she thought she knew. Hope is like many of us—strong, yet unsure; confident, yet searching. But unlike most, the decision before her is no ordinary choice. It will open a door into a world of secrets, where the boundaries between human and something more blur, and where trust, love, and identity are tested like never before. This novel, Hope's Choice, is not simply a story of power or discovery—it’s about people. Real, flawed, and relatable individuals who stumble, fight, and rise in ways you might not expect. The citizens of Medford, especially the Aqua, are not superhuman. They are not perfect. Yet the choices they make echo through their lives—and through this world—in ways that will captivate you. As you turn these pages, you’ll step alongside Hope as she unravels the mysteries that lie hidden in plain sight. You’ll meet those who inspire, those who deceive, and those who change her life forever. This book is an invitation—a chance to explore Medford’s beauty, wonder, and shadows. I hope you’ll see yourself reflected in the courage, struggles, and choices of its people. So settle in, let the journey begin, and remember: sometimes, the smallest choice can change everything.
