Stripped bare, Chen Cheng stood in the bathroom with a flushed face, her posture stiff. One hand instinctively covered her chest as her gaze drifted around, not daring to look down.
She didn't see this as her own body at all. Even just glancing at it made her feel like she was violating some innocent girl.
But her eyes just wouldn't obey.
"The chest is so perky… the waist is so slim…"
Chen Cheng had never touched a woman's chest in real life, but judging from the size label on her bra, she was now a B cup.
Though it seemed… bigger than she imagined a B cup would be?
A narrow belly button sat on her slightly rounded stomach. Her waist and hips curved like an hourglass. Her thighs were soft and slightly plump, while her calves were slender and straight. The proportions of her body were comparable to those of an anime female lead.
"This body is crazy…"
Being severely nearsighted, Chen Cheng had taken off her glasses, which added a soft blur to her vision. It helped dull some of the guilt she felt.
But seriously, if she had to transmigrate into such a gorgeous body, why did she still have to be nearsighted?
While showering, her fingers ran across her smooth skin, trembling slightly. Her face stayed red the entire time. She didn't dare to reach for any sensitive areas. Instead, she tilted her head back and hurriedly lathered herself with soap, rinsing it off in a rush. The whole process barely took ten minutes.
"Phew—"
Throwing on a long-sleeved pajama shirt and pants, Chen Cheng bolted out of the bathroom in embarrassment.
Even though she had been close to thirty before transmigrating—at an age where she could be married with kids calling her "uncle"—as a lifelong virgin, she had never observed a young girl's body up close like this.
The blush on her cheeks refused to fade, making the girl in the mirror appear even more bashful and delicate.
In the living room, her mother and Auntie were chatting. Chen Cheng picked up the hairdryer, listening in while drying her hair.
Her mom was planning a trip with Auntie?
That was great news! No one would be around to stop her from gaming all night at the internet café!
Feeling instantly elated, she impatiently ran the dryer through her hair until it was only half-dry before zipping into her bedroom.
For a girl, this chin-length hair was considered short, but for a guy, it was already way too long. There was no way she had the patience to spend over ten minutes blow-drying it properly.
Locking the door behind her, Chen Cheng flopped into her chair, propped one foot up, and idly fiddled with her mouse.
That bastard An Yuan! He went to the internet café with their classmates and left her behind!
A gentle knock came from the door. Her mother's voice followed, "Chen Cheng, have you finished your homework?"
"I finished it at school."
"Then go to bed soon—it's already eleven."
"Got it, going to sleep now."
Chen Cheng responded obediently, then turned off the bedroom light and muted the computer speakers, pretending to settle in for the night.
Resting her chin in her hand, she stared blankly at the screen, reflecting on her awful day. The more she thought about it, the more she missed her old life—living alone, no social obligations, carefree and stress-free.
"I haven't even touched my homework…"
"What am I supposed to do about the college entrance exams?"
"And in the future… I seriously have to get married? I'd rather stay a shut-in and keep writing web novels."
"I mean, if I had to transmigrate, couldn't I at least get some kind of cheat ability?"
Grumbling to herself, Chen Cheng suddenly became aware of a faint discomfort in her lower abdomen. A dull ache spread through her waist as well.
Her first instinct was to wonder if she had eaten something bad. But then, she remembered An Yuan's warnings.
"…My period?"
No way. It's actually happening?!
Chen Cheng rubbed her lower abdomen in disbelief, lifted the waistband of her pants for a peek, and only felt relieved when she saw no signs of bleeding.
"Whatever, time to sleep."
Who knows? Maybe she'd wake up and find herself back in her old world.
Not that being nearly thirty and an absolute nobody was much better...
<+>
"Cheng Cheng~ Cheng Cheng~ time to wake up!"
"It's almost seven! Get up already!"
A gentle knock on the door was soon replaced by firm pounding, finally dragging Chen Cheng out of a nightmare-filled sleep.
She weakly opened her eyes and turned her head to glance at the alarm clock on the bedside table—just past six.
"...So much pain..."
She had been woken up by the pain in the middle of the night, curling up in bed clutching her stomach. Exhausted, she drifted back to sleep, only to be woken again and again.
"So this is what a period feels like?"
Honestly, this was her own fault. An Yuan had reminded her that it was coming soon, but she still went out drinking ice-cold beer with him last night.
The pounding on her door grew louder, making the whole room shake. Chen Cheng mustered all her strength and croaked, "I'm up..."
"I'm already up!"
Only when she raised her voice did her mother let up. "Hurry up and wash up for breakfast."
Chen Cheng whimpered, curling into a ball on the bed. It felt like someone had shoved a screwdriver into her abdomen and was twisting it mercilessly.
"Ahh—I'm dying! I'm dying!"
The pain radiated from her lower stomach to her thighs and lower back, so intense it almost felt numb.
Her eyes were red and brimming with tears, threatening to spill at any moment. But she prided herself on being a man, so she scrunched up her nose and held them back.
Her phone buzzed. Chen Cheng picked it up and answered, hearing An Yuan's voice.
"Chen Cheng, you're up, right? Should I wait for you at your door today? I won't go upstairs to avoid your mom misunderstanding."
"Mm..."
"Just woke up? Why do you sound half-dead?"
"It hurts... it hurts so bad... I wanna die..."
Chen Cheng sniffled, wiggling toward the bedside table for support as she struggled to sit up.
"Your period started? Just take some painkillers and drink hot water. I told you not to drink last night."
Easy for you to say!
She glanced down and froze.
A glaringly dark red stain spread across the pink bedsheet, resembling a scene straight out of a horror movie. The sheer shock of it made her breath hitch, and the tears she had been holding back spilled over.
"Blood... there's so much blood..."
"You're not crying from the pain, are you?" An Yuan immediately picked up on her choked-up voice and panicked. "It's okay, just take a painkiller. Let your mom handle the sheets."
His attempt at comfort only made her break down even more.
"An Yuan! Waaah—take me back already!"
She was a perfectly fine man—why the hell did she have to go through this?
More than pain, it was sheer injustice that made her sob.
Despite being nearly thirty, in her moment of distress, she instinctively cried out—
"Mom! Mom!"
That morning turned into pure chaos. Her mother wore a dark expression as she stripped the stained bedsheets and comforter, while Chen Cheng sniffled and hid in the bathroom, trying to figure out how to put on a sanitary pad.
"You're already this old, and you didn't even prepare for your period."
"I put some ibuprofen on the table. Your thermos is filled with hot water."
For once, Chen Cheng didn't find her mother's nagging annoying. She pouted miserably, carefully sticking the wings of the pad onto her underwear.
"Being a man was so much better..."
