Worse, that night left Cesare unexpectedly pregnant!

But Zahir, stubborn and relentless, has no plans to let go.

The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.

Note: This is a QT story. Developments will be fast and volumes will be kept short. Volume 1, Blind daughter of the Chu Family Synopsis: As a great actress, I was given the role of the 19th female lead of a historical big budget production. "Jing Yi, you're the actress with the most potential among all that I've seen." "Your eyes, your movements, and every bit of expression your body exude, It's AMAZING." "That's why, I'll trust you this IMPORTANT 19th female LEAD role to you." *kind smile and a convincing look* Xu Jing Yi: ??? Forced into the role of a VERY IMPORTANT 19th female role after such frivolous praises? Fine, I'll grit my teeth and endure it. Only granted three scenes to show the face of this so called IMPORTANT character? Fine, I'll turn a blind eye and do my best to leave an impression. Stabbed into the heart.. Wait, wasn't this blade supposed to run pass my armpit?? ****, We haven't agreed upon this matter! Xu Jing Yi, a young actress of the 21st Century was bestowed upon her first important role, the 19th female lead of a historical drama, Chu Ling. Chu Ling, the youngest daughter of General Chu, was a beautiful noble lady born with impairments. She was blessed with a pair of majestic golden eyes, but what a pity, she's blind. She was a character who only appears in three scenes. As if it wasn't pitiful enough, she ended up dead in the last scene, the third scene. Thankfully, God had decided to show her pity. Xu Jing Yi was sent to replace her and suffer instead of the poor girl. What an honour... Such a plausible show of kindness... Bahhh... The Great Director has some words to say: "Don't look down on small roles! Although they have little scenes, they're still important to the story progress!" The pissed Xu Jing Yi: "As important as the main character?" "....."
