Zhang Duoyu, also known as Zhang Xiaoyu, was born with memories of her previous life, but she still couldn't change her fate: she was destined to be alone. Just like her name suggests, she was an unwanted extra.
Her father favored boys over girls and treated her like a family dog from the moment she was born, cursing and beating her whenever he pleased. Still a child, she lay beaten on the ground, clenching her fists as she looked at her mother standing nearby, glaring at her with venomous eyes. From that day on, escaping this place became her life's obsession.
At last, she grew a little older and thought she could leave this nightmare of a place. But leaving was as difficult as the name of the village suggested: in Houfen Village, people could enter, but no one could get out. It was a place even sunlight refused to illuminate. How could leaving possibly be easy?
Then a man named Jiang Cheng appeared. He was like a beam of light piercing through layer upon layer of dark clouds, shining straight into her heart, long shrouded in darkness. Her obsession with escaping came alive again. She knew this was her only chance to leave.
The female lead is working too hard.
