I was born with four Uteruses, earning the admiration of my tribe.
On the night of my coming-of-age ceremony, the Rabbit Tribe faced a devastating disaster. The entire clan sacrificed their lives to protect me, but I was powerless to save them, forced to watch the Rabbit Tribe descend into ruin.
My childhood friend, Xiang Yueming, pleaded with the Elephant Clan Chief, hoping he would take me in. The chief agreed but set a condition: "I can take her in, but she must marry you and bear offspring for the Elephant Clan."
To survive, I signed a contract with the chief; as long as I successfully gave birth to the third generation of the Elephant Clan, I would regain my freedom.
For the next seven years, I became a breeding machine, pregnant 224 times and giving birth to 1,344 children, all stillborn. I spent my days weeping in despair. Although my husband cared for me deeply, it only intensified my guilt.
However, during one of my deliveries, I overheard my husband and sister-in-law in an affair.
"Xiaoli, you've worked hard these years. Once she delivers this child, I'll give her Uterus to you."
"Brother, she's your wife; can you really bear to do that?"
Xiang Yueming replied indifferently, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have married her. All these years of making her continuously pregnant to train her Uteruses were for this moment."
"What if she doesn't fit?"
"Then we can change her; she has four."
My heart turned to ash. Just then, a system notification echoed in my mind.
"Congratulations to the host for breaking reproductive isolation; you have successfully given birth to a Elephant baby. The Reproductive System will be activated in three days."
"Detected toxic tumors in the host's Uterus; would you like to activate the system for repairs early?"
I coldly smiled and replied, "No, do not activate it."

The cold stone platform and biting wind surrounded me.
I had been on it for three days and nights.
A total of 1,344 children had been born—all stillborn.
And my husband, the Young Patriarch of the Elephant Clan, Xiang Yueming, was with me for the first time.
Yet his presence filled me with dread.
"Ah Yue, just watch; you only need to watch."
Xiang Yueming attempted to clean my wounds for the first time but was interrupted by his sister, Xiang Xiaoli:
"Brother, let me do it. You're a man, it's not convenient for you."
Xiang Yueming paused for a moment, then stood up to make room for Xiang Xiaoli to personally apply the medicine on me.
Xiang Xiaoli gently lifted my shirt and took out the gauze.
In the next second, a sharp pain made me involuntarily let out a muffled groan.
"Hiss—"
Xiang Xiaoli pressed the gauze soaked in saline firmly against my wound.
"Sister Ji Yu, bear with it. This saline is for disinfection."
The pain rendered me speechless, and I could only cough violently.
Coughing so hard that my whole body convulsed, I ended up spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Sister Ji Yu, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Xiang Xiaoli feigned surprise and kindly handed me a handkerchief.
However, the blood I coughed up splattered onto her.
She instantly gasped in shock:
"Ji Yu! How dare you hurt me!"
At that moment, Xiang Yueming happened to walk in from outside.
Seeing this scene, he quickly rushed to Xiang Xiaoli's side and helped her up from the ground:
"Xiaoli, are you okay?"
Xiang Xiaoli shook her head aggrievedly. "Brother, I'm fine."
However, Xiang Yueming noticed the bloodstains on her legs and instantly understood what had happened.
In a fit of anger, he slapped me.
"Ji Yu! How dare you treat Xiaoli like this!"
I covered my swollen face in disbelief as I looked at Xiang Yueming. "You..."
He strode out of the room, holding Xiang Xiaoli tightly. "Ji Yu, you need to reflect on your actions!"
I was left alone in the cave.
It wasn't until evening that Xiang Xiaoli returned.
This time, she held a brocade box in her hands.
She opened the box and took out a copper basin.
The basin resembled one used for plucking feathers, but it was clearly larger and coarser.
My unease grew stronger.
She clapped her hands, and a guard outside brought in a package.
It seemed there was something moving inside the package.
Faint whimpering sounds came from within.
That is... my child!
The guard placed the bundle on the ground and then respectfully stepped back.
I looked at the package on the floor, my heart filled with unease.
"Li... what are you going to do..."
She slowly opened the bundle.
Inside, I saw my newborn Elephant baby lying there, barely alive, its tiny body tightly bound by ropes.
Its little face was red from suffocation, and its small nose was wheezing as it struggled to breathe.
It seemed to sense my presence, turning its little head in a desperate search for me.
I leaned down, trying to move closer to hold it:
"Baby..."
But Xiang Xiaoli kicked me away:
"Ji Yu! You shameless woman! What right do you have to be my sister-in-law!
"Do you even know how amazing my brother is?"
