Reborn in 1970: Rising to the Top of Life

After being reborn, she realized the source of everything that had gone wrong in her previous life.

Only on her deathbed did she learn the truth about her origins: her horrible stepsister had stolen her identity as the orphaned child of a fallen hero.

When they were eighteen, her stepsister enlisted and went on to make a great success of her life. Meanwhile, she was sent to the countryside for five years. After the educated youth were allowed to return to the city, she got a factory job and married a man chosen by her adoptive mother. In the month she married, her adoptive mother demanded that she pay back eighteen years' worth of nursing, claiming, “I breastfed you for eighteen months.”

Then she gave birth to a daughter. Her mother-in-law was domineering, her husband was a mama's boy, and she was laid off from her job. The nursing debt was the final straw, and disaster came one thing after another: divorce, leaving with nothing, taking odd jobs everywhere, working as a porter, a dishwasher, and a cleaner.

By the time she had paid off the eighteen-year nursing debt, her health was ruined, too. Her breast cancer had gone untreated and spread. As she lay dying, her horrible stepsister revealed the truth with a sneer.

She was consumed with hatred. If she had another life, she would make them pay.

She would make sure her adoptive parents and horrible stepsister never knew a moment's peace.

And she would give everyone who had shown her kindness and loyalty a chance to share a very different life with her.
