[1980s setting + rebirth + face-slapping and crushing scumbags + building wealth]
Reborn in 1985, I watched as my husband secretly gave my iron rice bowl job to his green-tea sweetheart.
In my previous life, I fought tooth and nail, endured ridicule from my husband and daughter, and wasted my life.
In this life, I collect what I'm owed and walk away from the marriage with my head held high.
You two want stable jobs and a good reputation? Then let's each rely on our own abilities.
I stop wasting my energy on terrible people. I make my way in the cafeteria with my cooking skills, build a career, and earn money, gaining the confidence that comes from standing on my own.
Sweet love quietly finds me, too, soothing my wounded heart.
Later, when the scumbag and his mistress run into trouble at work, become mired in problems, and beg me through tears to take him back, I merely turn around and say, "You were the one who threw away every way back."
As soon as the words leave my mouth, a passionate, lingering kiss pulls me around. "Sis, can you look only at me?"
