(Not reborn, pure age, please be careful if you mind)
The story begins with Gu Lanyu's family:
It tells about the tragic fate of rural women in Xinghua Village in the 1990s and the persecution suffered by women under the constraints of patriarchal thinking.
Gu Lanyu took Chunyu to marry Zhang Linxian for the second time. After the marriage, she realized that Lin Xian was a selfish, lazy, and domestically violent man. She regretted it, but it was too late, so she could only swallow her anger and continue to live.
Lan Yu was not welcomed by her parents-in-law and was bullied by the villagers. Her life was not going well and her family was poor. She worked hard to climb up, struggling to pull Xia Yan (Zhang Yu) and the others to grow up.
After giving birth to three girls, she was ridiculed and ignored by others. She tried hard to change everything, but to no avail.
Rural education is so backward that Chunyu dropped out of school to get married when she was sixteen, and these things are normal in the village.
Xia Yan (Zhang Yu) originally thought that she would follow her sister's path, but after her sister got married, she was brought to the city by Lan Yu by chance, and her fate changed. She went from being ignorant to knowing the importance of reading.
She tried hard to integrate into this unfamiliar environment and tried to change her destiny. She did it at first. She successfully entered a good junior high school and a good high school. She originally thought that as long as she worked hard enough, she could go to college as she wished. However, she failed in the college entrance examination. At that moment, she did not have the courage to cry. There was endless disappointment and confusion in her eyes. She didn't know what to do next...
