So parents really can fail to love their children! Shen Mimingxing finally understood that at eighteen.
At eight, she helped her mother escape her abusive father by secretly slipping sleeping pills into his wine. She thought she and her mother would leave together and start a new life.
But when she ran barefoot out of the alley, she learned that the future her mother was heading toward was one she would face alone.
At fifteen, her grandmother, who favored boys over girls, locked her in a pigsty and tried to force her into marriage with a dimwit from the next village and Wang Mazhi. Shen Mimingxing was stubborn to the core. Even when starving, she'd rather fight the pigs for food than submit. She grew so emaciated that her skin clung to her bones, and her body was covered in sores. If she died, so be it. Better dead. At least then she wouldn't be eating food she hadn't earned.
When Jiang Manzhi, missing for eight years, appeared and took Shen Mimingxing away, she was a ray of light in a life of darkness, a chance at redemption for the rest of her life.
On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Shen Mimingxing put on a red dress, set fire to Jiang Manzhi, her current husband, and her stepdaughter's house, then jumped from the Haicheng Bridge. It turned out that no light had ever entered her world.

When Shen Mimingxing opened her eyes again, she was lying in a luxurious Chinese-style villa, nestled in a grand bed with soft pillows. Orderlies, a family doctor, and guards bustled around her. Her general grandfather was ready to take a gun and lay waste to the world for her. Had she been reborn? Had she become a general's daughter?
It turned out that being loved by one's family gave you the confidence to face the world.
A mother who doesn't love her child belongs in hell. Bad people shouldn't live to see another sunrise.
Jiang Manzhi knelt and wept, begging for forgiveness, but those were only crocodile tears. Shen Mimingxing didn't know how to write the word "forgiveness."
