Liu Ye'er, a girl whose background and appearance were entirely unremarkable, walked along a familiar, mundane path. Her life was like a calm lake without a single ripple. Her world had always seemed this way—quiet and plain. Yet, at that very moment, everything changed, shattering her tranquil existence.
On an unremarkable evening, an unidentified object suddenly appeared under her feet. Liu Ye'er tripped and fell to the ground. As she looked down at the object, she realized it was a rusted copper coin. Upon touching Liu Ye'er's blood, the rust began to vanish, and the coin emitted a golden glow. This light grew increasingly intense, completely enveloping her.
When the light faded, Liu Ye'er found herself in a brand-new space—a silver-gray portable dimension. She surveyed this mysterious realm, filled with curiosity and astonishment. The space was approximately five meters long and wide, and two meters high; it was a completely enclosed area with no doors or windows. However, on one wall, Liu Ye'er saw golden characters: "Operating Instructions for the Portable Dimension."
She read the instructions carefully and understood the mysteries of the portable dimension. She could enter or leave the space at will, and the time inside flowed at the same rate as the outside world. Furthermore, the space could be upgraded, though the instructions did not specify how.
Liu Ye'er felt both excited and nervous. She knew this encounter would completely change her life. From then on, she was no longer an ordinary girl, but a queen possessed of infinite possibilities.
As a typical college student, Liu Ye'er loved reading various novels and was fascinated by mysterious concepts like portable dimensions. She never imagined that one day, she would actually possess one herself! The realization left her both thrilled and bewildered.
She was happy that she could finally have her own private space, just like the characters in the novels. However, she knew she had to keep it secret, or it would lead to trouble. Thus, she began to plan how to utilize it.
First, she thought about using it for personal needs. For instance, she could put a folding bed and a cabinet inside to serve as her private rest area. She could also keep a hand-crank charger inside, allowing her to use her laptop for long periods.
Additionally, Liu Ye'er considered other uses. She could store snacks and a bicycle inside, making it convenient for when she was out and about. She could even keep common medications there for emergencies.
After several days of preparation, Liu Ye'er finally turned the portable dimension into a perfect private sanctuary. She could sleep, work, play, and even take vacations inside. This lifestyle made her feel very comfortable and satisfied.
However, Liu Ye'er also understood that the dimension had to remain a secret. If others found out, it could invite unnecessary trouble. Therefore, she was extremely cautious in how she used it and never revealed the secret to anyone.
In short, the portable dimension was her private territory, providing her with a sense of security and comfort. While it couldn't make her rich overnight, it brought great convenience and ease to her life.
Another twilight had passed and the night deepened, the air filled with the rich atmosphere of late evening. By then, the city's hustle and bustle had gradually faded, leaving only quiet streets and a few scattered pedestrians. A crescent moon hung high in the sky like a guardian of the night, casting a faint glow.
On this late spring night, Liu Ye'er walked home alone. Her pace was light, and she didn't seem affected by the chill. A smile played on her face, perhaps in anticipation of a reunion or imagining happy times with her family. Yet, she did not notice a small car quietly following behind her, waiting for an opportunity.
As Liu Ye'er reached the crosswalk, the car suddenly accelerated and surged toward her. She felt the impact from behind and was sent flying. Her body traced an arc through the air before landing heavily on the ground. Intense pain spread through her entire body; her vision blurred. She tried to struggle to her feet, only to realize she had lost all her strength.
The streetlights illuminated the scene. Liu Ye'er lay on the ground in a pool of blood. Though her body twitched weakly, she had lost consciousness. Surrounding pedestrians gathered, staring at the scene in horror.
When Liu Ye'er regained consciousness, she found herself restrained in a hospital bed. Every breath and every movement felt like a struggle on the edge of life and death. The agony throughout her body, the inability to move, and the gauze wrapping her entire frame left her feeling helpless and in pain as never before.
Her mother wept silently by her side—a sorrow and helplessness beyond words. Her father listened to the doctor's explanation, his heavy expression seemingly crushing his shoulders.
The doctor's words were like a sharp blade piercing her heart: "Liu Ye'er's condition is very serious. She has multiple lumbar fractures and severe damage to her spinal nerves." Each word sounded like an inescapable verdict. Even if she recovered, she would be permanently disabled.
Liu Ye'er's heart felt as if it were encased in ice, leaving her in extreme cold and despair. *I might as well be dead,* she thought. If only the driver had been like Yao Jiaxin and just stabbed her a few times—that would have been better. Now, she felt that life was worse than death.
Yet, in this darkest moment, her boyfriend, Li Geng, appeared. His steady gaze was filled with determination and love. "Dad, Mom, don't be sad anymore. No matter what the outcome is, I will stay with Ye'er and never leave her side." His voice was low, yet filled with strength.
*My dear, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading! The best is yet to come!*
Hearing those words, a warm current surged through Liu Ye'er's heart. In this cold world, at least one person was willing to accompany her and support her. Despite the endless physical pain, her heart felt warm because of this genuine affection.
Father Liu looked at Li Geng with a strange expression—his son-in-law, who had always appeared honest and somewhat slow-witted. Deep down, he had once held deep doubts about him. After all, Li Geng's personality didn't quite fit in with modern society, and he worried that Liu Ye'er wouldn't find true happiness with him.
"You know, I have always worried that you wouldn't be able to shoulder the burdens of a family and would let Liu Ye'er suffer," Father Liu said, his eyes revealing deep anxiety.
Li Geng looked at the father who loved his daughter so dearly, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He understood Father Liu's worries, but he also knew that he had already made up his mind to hold up the sky for Liu Ye'er.
"Uncle Liu, I know you have always worried I wouldn't be capable of taking on family responsibilities, but I promise, I will use all my efforts to protect Liu Ye'er," Li Geng said, his tone firm and sincere.
Father Liu watched him silently, his doubts seemingly dissipating. He knew that Li Geng truly loved Liu Ye'er; perhaps his own worries had been unnecessary.
"Xiao Geng, I was wrong before. I apologize to you," Father Liu said, his tone filled with deep regret.
Li Geng sighed. "Let's not speak of the past." He knew that only understanding and tolerance could truly resolve their issues.
In that warm hospital room, a father's understanding and a son-in-law's commitment allowed the family to regain harmony and warmth. They knew the road ahead would be long, but as long as they had love and understanding in their hearts, no difficulty was worth fearing.
Liu Ye'er was now disabled; though conscious, she dared not open her eyes. She did not want to spend the rest of her life as a walking corpse; she only wanted to end her life. However, her family, doctors, and nurses would not let her have her way. Lying in bed, unable to move, she could not use conventional suicide methods nor ask for help. For several days, Liu Ye'er pretended to be unconscious, occasionally peeking when she couldn't help it. Seeing her parents' anxious expressions and Li Geng's bloodshot eyes, she felt both heartache and helplessness. Such days were becoming unbearable for her. She wanted to tell the truth, but didn't know how to start.
Liu Ye'er heard unfamiliar footsteps approaching; her hearing had become exceptionally sharp these past few days, and she could clearly distinguish the sounds. Suddenly, a wet towel covered her face, and a hand pressed firmly over her nose and mouth. Liu Ye'er realized someone was trying to harm her, but her body could not react. She had already wanted to die, so in a way, this was fulfilling her wish. She gave up resisting, and her consciousness quickly faded.
In a corner of another dimension, Liu Ye'er returned to eight years in her past, living the busy life of any high school senior. Her father was the vice principal of academics, and his requirements for her were strict and urgent because this was the pivotal year that would decide her future. That day, everything was as usual, yet fate changed quietly in a single moment.
Liu Ye'er sat in the classroom, the formulas on the blackboard feeling unrelated to her; her thoughts had drifted far away. Suddenly, an electric current pierced her body, leaving her feeling as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body tingling instantly. She looked around in terror, only to find that no one else seemed to have noticed this strange force.
The current raged within her for ten minutes, which felt like a long century. Then, it all vanished, and everything in the classroom seemed to return to normal. Yet, Liu Ye'er knew that everything had changed.
A vast amount of information flooded her mind—information about that other dimension. She saw her fate over the next eight years. Knowing what she would experience, she understood the cause and effect of events and knew what her future would hold.
A mysterious voice echoed in Liu Ye'er's mind: "Queen System has been successfully installed, activating a portable dimension four meters in length, width, and height, and a trial dimension." Liu Ye'er knew what a portable dimension was, but she was not clear about the trial dimension. Full of curiosity and expectation, she asked the system: "What is the trial dimension?"
The system replied patiently: "The trial dimension is a small world that will become a stage for you to improve your physical fitness and tap into your potential. One hour in the regular dimension equals one month in the trial dimension. Your consciousness can enter the trial dimension; while you are inside, your physical body remains in a static state. Once you leave, the trial dimension stops, waiting for the next entry. You can exchange supplies between the regular dimension and the trial dimension."
From this moment on, Liu Ye'er's fate would undergo a sea change. She would bravely face challenges, constantly break through her limits, and become a stronger version of herself.
Having learned about the events of the other dimension, she was also given a mission: to build a Moon Base. However, this task was not easy. Even with the nation's current power, they had not achieved free lunar landing, and it was even harder for an ordinary girl like her. Liu Ye'er faced a massive challenge, but she was not discouraged. There was no time limit for this mission; she could find a way through the trial dimension.
