The day after I married Fu Xinghan, his sister-in-law gave me a gold ring.
I happily slipped it on.
But when my husband of five years saw the ring, he kicked me to the ground.
"Are you crazy? Why would you put just anything on your hand?"
My usually kind father-in-law even hacked off my finger with a knife.
"Who told you to wear that? You deserve to die!"
My mother-in-law went completely insane and shoved me into an iron cage, forcing me to fight a Tibetan mastiff naked.
It tore open my throat.
My parents rushed over to claim my body, but when they saw the ring, their attitude changed completely.
"Wrap her in a blanket and throw her in the river. We don't have a daughter like that!"
To my dying day, I never understood why they all wanted me dead after seeing the ring.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my sister-in-law brought me the ring.
