[Period Setting + Ensemble Cast + Family Life + Terrible Relatives + Demobilized Soldier + Building a Fortune]
In 1975, fifty-eight-year-old Zhao Huashu was reborn.
In her previous life, she was sold to the Chen family as a child bride for their foolish son. When she failed to bear an heir, her adoptive mother sold her to Qin Shaoyang, a limping soldier forced out of the army and plagued by a terrible reputation, for a bride price of five hundred.
Yet she never resented them. Instead, she repeatedly helped her birth family.
Like leeches, they soon drained her of every last penny, moved into a Western-style mansion, and lived the high life.
Meanwhile, she, her husband, and their children remained crammed into a dilapidated home that let in the wind in winter and the rain in summer, struggling to make ends meet.
In the end, her blind devotion to her birth family drove a wedge between her and her children, wore her husband down, and left her with a terminal illness she could not afford to treat.
She demanded that her birth family return her money, but they mocked and cursed her instead. Her husband was left to suffer until his illness killed him.
Consumed by regret, she drank poison and followed him in death.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day before she was to marry Qin Shaoyang in place of her adoptive sister.
This time, she had only one goal.
Cut ties with the Chen family and reclaim every penny and every tile they had taken from her in her previous life, so they too would know the pain of losing loved ones.
Make it up to Qin Shaoyang, have the same son and daughter they had in her previous life, build a fortune, and live a peaceful, happy life.
She only wanted to live for herself. Nobody else needed to get involved!
