When Song Tang opens her eyes, she discovers she's become a poor young wife in the 1960s, nearly beaten to death by her husband's family.
Her husband has been away serving in the military for three years with no word. Her mother-in-law wants to sell her for the bride price, her brother-in-law's family is eyeing her last mouthful of food, and her three children are crying with hunger.

Her awful mother-in-law comes all the way to the base to demand money? Song Tang smiles as she closes the door. "And you are? We cut ties ages ago. If you want money, go ask the King of Hell."
The three little ones all give her a thumbs-up in perfect unison: "
