A Mother's Dangerous Love

Hoping their only son would have someone to rely on in the future, Wu Meiyu's parents married her off to Shan Ming, an unattractive man. She tried to resist, but eventually resigned herself to her fate. Shan Ming was clever and capable, yet Wu Meiyu often quarreled with him over the little things in life. After their children were born, she gradually adjusted to and came to enjoy the happy life her husband gave her. Then an unexpected disaster took Shan Ming's life. After briefly experiencing the world's fickleness, Wu Meiyu hastily remarried Bai Xinyin less than six months later. Bai Xinyin was notorious for being lazy and fond of drinking, gambling, and visiting prostitutes. Wu Meiyu still had to put on a happy face in the village, with no one to confide in but her parents and children. Her parents told her to put her hopes in the children. Their son, Shan Qing, made them proud by getting into university. With the savings Shan Ming had left behind, scholarships, and part-time work, he barely managed to finish his studies.

Shortly before graduation, Shan Qing brought his girlfriend, Zhao Zishan, home. Zhao Zishan wasn't to Wu Meiyu's liking, and her words were laced with hostility.

After overcoming obstacle after obstacle, Shan Qing and Zhao Zishan finally married with nothing to their names.

When Bai Xinyin learned that Shan Qing was planning to buy a house, he began hatching a scheme. After it was exposed, Wu Meiyu not only refused to divorce Bai Xinyin despite his mountain of debt, but went out of her way to pay it off for him. Shan Qing cut off contact with his family over it, and stayed away until Shan Yinuo was born. Shan Qing asked Wu Meiyu to divorce Bai Xinyin and help look after the baby. Wu Meiyu reluctantly agreed at first, hoping to return to Bai Xinyin and grow old with him once the child was raised. But fate had other plans, and she embarked on a new life instead.
