1983, Beicheng Hutong.
Sixteen-year-old Lin Zhiqiu is set up by her entire family and forced to take her younger sister’s place in the countryside. Her toes freeze off, she suffers two miscarriages, and she works herself to the bone to put her brother through Tsinghua and pay for her sister’s piano lessons. Then, on the eve of demolition, they drag her to her death.
Only at the moment she dies does she understand: so-called family love means draining her blood and then complaining it tastes salty.
When she opens her eyes again, she’s back three days before she is sent to the countryside.
This time, she tears up the notice and kicks her sister straight into the fire.
A letter of accusation sends her father to the disciplinary commission, and 200 yuan gets her a courtyard house at rock-bottom prices.
From the black market to the stock market and the reform of state-owned enterprises, she gets ahead of the times, earns ten thousand yuan in three days, and becomes a legend in three years.
Her mother drops to her knees, begging for mercy. Lin makes her stay there for three hours.
Her brother is a candidate for top universities after the gaokao? She rewrites his answers herself and turns him into a street loafer.
Her sister wants to escape back to the city? Lin contacts the “old buyer” that very night and makes the handoff, cash for a person.
She watches coldly as her whole family is brought to ruin, listening to them wail:
“We were wrong. Please, for the sake of blood ties, ”
She scoffs and sets the DNA report on fire. “Sorry, I’m not even related to you by blood.”
The business world surges, and she makes a fortune.
When her true identity is revealed, she learns she is the rightful heir to a top-tier wealthy family.
But the cruelest twist comes at the end
Was her so-called rebirth actually a carefully implanted “revenge script”?
She faces the mastermind with a smile. “If you want to use me, you’d better be ready for me to turn the tables on you.”
This isn’t forgiveness. It’s a legend in the making.
On their way to hell, she personally hands them funeral wreaths and sends them on their way.
