My name is Ke Fei Shiqin.
I come from Earth, and naturally, I've now arrived in another world.
But I'm not sure if I can really say that…
Because…
This other world…
Has way too many elements, right???

[01. What Is a Worldview]
A girl sat on the edge of a bed, deep in thought.
Next to her, her parents wept.
But she—Ke Fei Shiqin—very clearly didn't know this couple at all.
However…
Even if she had never interacted with them—
The girl who originally owned this body… was their daughter.
And now, the one possessing this girl's body was a transmigrator from Earth!
("A" = Shiqin speaking)
("A" = others speaking)
(*A* = thoughts)
*Who… are they?*
*And where is this place?*
*Why do I look like this?*
Shiqin puzzled over her palms,
Then stared, full of question marks, at the "family" before her.
Clearly, it was time she understood her situation.
*I…*
*No way…*
*I…*
*Have transmigrated?!!!!*
In her shock, Shiqin also began to observe the world's setting.
*It looks like a medieval world, similar to those in isekai anime.*
*So does that mean there's an Adventurer's Guild?*
*Am I supposed to go on a journey to defeat the Demon King?!*
(This protagonist has little isekai knowledge.)
『Ding-ling------』
A doctor walked in.
Before Shiqin could react,
Her "parents" urgently gripped their nervous hands and begged the doctor to check on their child.
Doctor: "This isn't right… Your child… actually woke up?"
*So the previous owner of this body had some serious illness?*
Mother: "Doctor, that's not the point! The point is my daughter… my daughter seems to have forgotten us!"
Doctor: "Looks like there's brain damage?"
*You're the one with brain damage!*
Father: "Then what do we do?! If our Shiqin has forgotten us, does she even remember where her home is?!"
To her surprise, the former owner's name was also Shiqin.
The doctor then leaned in curiously toward her.
Seeing this, Shiqin shrank back anxiously.
Doctor: "Don't be nervous. Close your eyes."
Shiqin did as told…
The doctor squeezed her arm thoughtfully…
Doctor: "This is impossible!"
"Huh?"
Mother: "So doctor, what's wrong with my daughter??"
Doctor: "No, no, this is all wrong!"
In shock, the doctor ignored Shiqin's fear and pinched her cheek.
Doctor: "As I thought, her skin is thick…"
Shiqin glared at the doctor in anger.
*Who are you calling thick-skinned!!*
Father: "Say something, doctor! What's wrong with my daughter?!"
Doctor: "..."
Doctor: "Your daughter… should not have been able to wake up…"
Hearing that, the enraged father grabbed the doctor by the shoulders!
Father: "What do you mean by that?! Explain yourself!"
Doctor: "Sigh…"
The doctor gently brushed the father's hands away and said, "Your daughter is no longer human."
"????"
Parents: "????"
Doctor: "As shocking as it is, there's no doubt—your daughter is now a *Divine Construct*."
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Shiqin tilted her head in confusion.
Mother: "That's impossible! I gave birth to and raised my daughter myself—how could she suddenly be a *Divine Construct*?!"
Father: "Yeah, exactly!"
Doctor: "Our only theory is that your daughter actually died, but the god *Xianming* personally changed her constitution and cured her illness."
At that, the overjoyed parents dropped to their knees,
Repeating over and over, "Thank you, Lord Xianming!"
Leaving only Shiqin, stunned and speechless by the scene.
*So this 'Xianming' is this world's god…*
*And Xianming not only repaired this body, but placed my soul from Earth into it.*
*But…*
Shiqin glanced uneasily at the parents.
*If they knew I wasn't actually their child…*
*Would it break their hearts even more…*
••••••••••
••••••••••
On the way home, the parents placed Shiqin's frail body into something like a mining cart or scoop,
And cheerfully pushed her down the street together…
Why, though?
Because the former body's owner had been in a coma for ten years and couldn't walk on her own yet.
As her parents pushed her through the town, Shiqin couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
*These parents truly loved the previous owner…*
*But I also have parents back on Earth… I have reasons to go back…*
*Yet now I'm also their "child"… so if I leave…*
While Shiqin was still deep in thought, her mother's voice rang out—
Mother: "Shiqin, look—that's the market up ahead! Ten years ago, it was just a snowy field, and we played in the snow there…"
Mother: "Do you remember?"
Faced with her mother's question, Shiqin looked at her awkwardly…
Seeing the guilty look in Shiqin's eyes, the mother quickly changed the subject, and continued pushing her with the father.
But on the way, she sniffled softly, discreetly wiping tears—or rather, sweat—from her eyes.
Mother: "…Shiqin, do you want to take a look at the market?"
"Mom!"
Afraid her presence would only bring sorrow to the original parents, Shiqin could only act.
Even if she didn't remember them…
Hearing her suddenly cry out "Mom," the parents actually burst out laughing.
Making Shiqin blush and turn away.
Mother: "It's been so long since I heard that…"
Father: "But we know—you still don't remember us."
Father: "So, why don't we start over?"
*Start over?*
Noticing Shiqin's confusion, the father crouched down to her level and met her gaze.
Father: "That's right—from the very beginning… Let's start from scratch."
"From scratch…"
Mother: "..."
Mother: "What are you saying all cryptic like! Shiqin, don't mind him!"
Father stood up: "Haha… I was just trying to lighten the mood…"
"..."
Seeing that Shiqin had gone silent—
Father: "Uh… honey… why don't we take her to the market anyway? Maybe it'll jog her memory?"
Mother: "You're right."
"No."
Parents: "?!?!"
Father: "Shiqin…"
"Let's go another day, okay?"
"Because right now… this pose is too… embarrassing…"
Hearing that, her parents relaxed, and chuckled at Shiqin.
"Geez…!"
Father: "Alright, alright! Let's go home then!"
