In her previous life, Lin Canru cleaned up after her scumbag boyfriend, married his frail older brother to bring him good fortune, and spent her life as an unpaid caretaker. In the end, she died of illness in the bitter cold of a snowstorm.
Reborn, she returns to her husband's wake. Faced with her scumbag ex's hollow promise, “I'll take care of you,” she slaps him across the face!
“Lu Chengan, drop that self-righteous act! We're done!”
She tears into her fake-sweet best friend and puts her awful mother-in-law in her place. Then she kicks that whole mess to the curb. All she wants is to pick up her textbooks, get into college, and build a brilliant life of her own.
Her scumbag ex thinks she's just playing hard to get, and waits for her to come crawling back in tears. Instead, he can only watch as she cleanly splits from the family and heads toward a bright future. Panic finally sets in.
A groveling ex trying to win her back? Too late! This time, she just wants to shine on her own!
