My Sister Is Crueler Than My Stepmother

Mother died, and her five daughters became meat on the chopping block. To save herself, the eldest, Xia Xiaoping, got married, then turned around and shoved her sisters straight into the fire!

My brother-in-law, Zhao Xinmin, is a beast wearing a man's skin. At night, he kicks our door open...

My second sister was forced to marry a cripple. My third sister was tormented until she was barely recognizable, and my fourth sister struggles in despair.

And I, Xia Xiaofang, watched my sisters get devoured until not a bone was left.

I clutched a rusty pair of scissors and blocked the only man in the village who could save me:

"Take me away! I don't care if you're a man or a ghost, I'll marry you! Just come save me as soon as you can!"

This black earth has swallowed enough of the girls' blood. It's time for me, this bitter wildflower with thorns, to pierce their black hearts! Can Xiaofang escape the clutches of her eldest sister Xiaoping and her husband?
