In her previous life, Chen Laba devoted herself entirely to her husband and children, enduring one indignity after another. After years of hardship, her husband handed her a divorce letter. He refused to end the marriage amicably, and she was murdered by her love rival. The three daughters she had devoted herself to protecting grew up in a family that favored sons over daughters, then repeated her fate after getting married.
Reborn, she vows to escape the miserable life she had in her previous life. She opens shops, sets up relay stations, and launches a logistics and trade network, growing her business from the village all the way to the provincial capital. But wherever she goes, she finds traces of her husband, who has been secretly helping her business at every turn.
Her husband’s gaze toward her changes. Her mother-in-law speaks to her gently, constantly calling her her dear daughter-in-law. And her three insecure girls now have bright, confident eyes.
When her love rival comes looking for trouble, she cheerfully prepares wine and a feast for her husband that very night, then beats him to the punch by handing him a divorce letter.
The man clings to her leg. “My dear, won’t you think it over?”
