In her previous life, Wang Hongmei was forced by her stepmother to marry a lazy widower. She spent a lifetime enduring domestic abuse and poverty, and both her daughters ended up trapped in misery too.
Only as she lay dying did she hear that the old green train heading south could take her to a completely different life.
When she opened her eyes, she was back at nineteen, the day before her wedding.
Her stepmother wants a hefty bride price? Wang Hongmei turns the tables and seizes her stepmother's leverage, leaving her too afraid to say a word.
The Zhao family comes to force her into marriage? She flips the table. Whoever wants to marry that widower can do it themselves!
With her savings and a letter left by her grandfather, she boards the train south. She gets a factory job, learns bookkeeping, and takes the college entrance exam.
She'll collect every debt owed to her, and earn with her own hands the good life she never got to live.
But later, the man said to have powerful connections and a stern disposition blocks her path at the factory gate and presses an enamel mug into her hands.
“Your grandfather asked me to look after you. From now on, I've got your back.”
