Everyone Else Is Honest, So What If I’m a Little Insane?

[1980s Setting + Pocket Dimension + Family and Village Life + Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger + A Touch of Ensemble Cast] “You care about your reputation? Is that why you got together with me when you were sixteen?” Xu Hanyue never had a childhood. Her father cheated with her stepmother, driving her birth mother to drink pesticide and kill herself. After that, her father ignored her, her stepmother bullied her, and the whole family put her down and manipulated her until she became a timid, spineless pushover. Starved for affection, she was coaxed by a scumbag’s meager kindness into eloping with him to another city. They worked hard and built a life from nothing, finally enjoying the good life. Only then did the scumbag tell her that the twins she had raised were actually her stepsister’s. He and her stepsister had deceived her for decades while living right above and below her. He even expected her to be magnanimous and let her stepsister share her place as his equal. Enraged, Xu Hanyue killed her stepsister and her child, then leaped from the eighteenth floor with the scumbag… This time, I’m going to… Wait, the scumbag was reborn too! Well, isn’t that nice? When we honest folk take revenge, we always make sure the right person pays. If you hadn’t done anything wrong, I’d feel guilty about getting even with you.
