The Lychees Turned Red, and I Turned over the Table at My Husband's House

Story summary Lin Wan has been married into the Zhao family for five years, doing housework, enduring her mother-in-law's criticism and her husband's cold violence, just to maintain a superficial appearance of respectability. It was not until the Zhao family's birthday party that her mother-in-law humiliated her in public: "A woman who cannot give birth to a son is not even qualified to serve at the table!" The guests laughed, but the husband was silent. Lin Wan stood up silently, threw the entire table of food on the longevity banner, and overturned the Eight Immortals table, which symbolized oppression. "I, Lin Wan, did not come to be a slave." She took off her wedding ring and threw it into the soup bowl, and decided to leave. This "lift" overturned the dignity of the Zhao family and awakened Lin Wan's suppressed self. She regained her embroidery skills, which had been delayed by her marriage, and opened an account on the short video platform "Wan Lai Embroidery". She used traditional stitching to tell the story of women's awakening, which quickly became popular. Her works are collected by museums and her brand collaborations come one after another. However, the Zhao family was exposed for "preferring sons over daughters", and the son's career suffered a setback, and the mother-in-law could not hold her head high among the neighbors. A year later, Lin Wan stood on the podium at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition. The reporter asked her if she regretted it, and she smiled: "What I lifted was not the table, but the cage that trapped me." This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
