In the spring of 1974, Shen Yulan had just given birth to her younger daughter when she heard her husband, Zhou Mingyuan, coaxing her: “Send the eldest girl back to the countryside. It’ll make things easier for you.”
In her previous life, she believed him. After her eldest daughter, Zhou Nian’an, was sent away, she vanished without a trace. Her younger daughter was also taken by her cousin Xu Hongmei and raised as her own. Shen Yulan drained her birth family’s resources, gave up her job, and raised two sons, only to be told in the end that they were both Zhou Mingyuan and Xu Hongmei’s children.
Before she died, her husband held his cousin and laughed at how foolish she was. Her most doted-on younger sister, Shen Jiaojiao, had been used too, personally leading all twelve members of the Shen family to ruin.
When Shen Yulan opened her eyes again, she was back on the day her husband tricked her into selling her job and her daughter.
In this life, her scumbag husband wanted a permanent-job position? She would deliver the evidence of his trafficking in goods to the security office. Her cousin wanted to frame her with an illegitimate child? She would expose their affair in front of everyone. Her younger sister wanted to recklessly cause trouble again? Shen Yulan would knock some sense into her first, then protect her.
Everyone thought Shen Yulan was still the soft touch they could push around. They had no idea she had returned to settle every last score.
It's so beautiful, I can't stop watching it
