Reborn in 1966, on the crucial day her parents divorce and decide who will raise her.
In her previous life, Lin Wanxing stayed with her birth family, where her son-preferring father and lazy older brother exploited her for the rest of her life.
She earned work points and took odd jobs, giving everything she had to support the family, yet they snatched every opportunity from her and wasted her life.
Even her childhood friend Jiang Haoyu abandoned her and married her sweet, seemingly obedient younger sister, Lin Yueyue.
Only when she died a tragic death did she learn that Lin Yueyue had been reborn, and had spent her entire life stepping on Lin Wanxing to reap all the benefits!
In this new life, Lin Yueyue schemes as before, weeping as she insists on staying with their father, waiting to get a factory job after the demolition payout and enjoy an easy life.
Lin Wanxing finally comes to her senses and decisively chooses to follow her mother into a new marriage and join the Shen family!
The whole village mocks her for bringing hardship upon herself and choosing to be a burden, unaware that she has successfully escaped a pit of monstrous relatives who would drain her dry.
Once in the Shen family, she works hard and keeps her head, securing her footing step by step. She quietly stockpiles supplies and studies, waiting for the college entrance exams to return.
Meanwhile, the Lin family’s hoped-for windfall never comes, and their fortunes crumble. When those awful relatives show up to leech off her and guilt-trip her, Lin Wanxing publicly cuts ties and tears into her rotten family!
When the college entrance exams are reinstated, she tops the country, changes her fate against all odds, seizes the opportunities of the times to build a fortune in business, and rises to the top.
Lin Yueyue, who fails the exams and falls into poverty, and Jiang Haoyu, whose marriage and career both end in disaster, spend the rest of their lives consumed by regret.
Meanwhile, Shen Yanzhou, her aloof, calculating older stepbrother and the Shen family’s powerful heir, silently protects her year after year, giving her a lifetime of devotion and happiness.
In her previous life, she was lowly and mired in misery. In this one, she steals every scene and wins in both career and love!
