The Black Lotus Is Reborn, and I’m Running Riot at My In-Laws’

In her previous life, Chen Rui worked up the courage to call the police after her husband beat her, only to receive the cold reply, "This is a family matter. It’s none of our business." She fled to her parents’ home for help, but her grandmother advised her, "Take good care of the children, cook the meals, look after the elders, and hand over your wages. Then he won’t hit you." Her stepmother even said, "He hits you because he loves you. Hurry back." Her aunt blamed her too: "Don’t be so difficult. A woman should be gentle and forgiving." Her half-brother mocked her: "Look at yourself. You should be grateful your husband puts up with you." Even her father scolded her: "You can’t manage your marriage, and now you’re disturbing your parents’ peace. Don’t you understand that harmony in the family brings success in everything?"

Reborn, Chen Rui finally saw the truth. If domestic violence was treated as a family matter, then she’d show everyone exactly what a "family matter" meant! She went completely berserk, sending her husband to the hospital three times and chasing her mother-in-law down two streets with a pair of machetes. Her three mischievous children got thoroughly whipped into shape, too, and were howling from beatings every day.

Now her husband’s family was completely panicked and began crying and begging for a divorce. Chen Rui only sneered. Divorce? Not a chance. Beating someone after a divorce would be a crime. For now, this "family matter" had to continue!
