[Republican-era family intrigue + forced love + fleeing while pregnant + wolf-and-rabbit couple] In her previous life, Qingtao was rejected by her husband's family. Her husband returned with his new lover and left her to be violated by bandits.
They blamed her for bringing shame on the family and left her to starve to death in a dungeon.
Heaven had mercy on her. After being reborn, Qingtao returned to the day she'd gone to her husband's room to consummate their marriage.
To avoid being cast aside, she picked up a strange man and brought him home in her husband's place.
Back at her in-laws' house with another man's child, she faced her cruel parents-in-law, vicious sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law, and despicable younger brother-in-law... She had a score to settle with everyone who'd hurt her in her past life, and with her pregnant belly held high, she let none of them off!
She went on a rampage through the Shao family, until the child's biological father came looking for her.
The scumbag was ecstatic. Pointing at her, he accused, “Captain, she's involved in several murders in my family!”
Li Shizhou held her on his lap, heart aching for her. “If you wanted them dead, you could've just told me. Wasn't it exhausting to kill them one by one?”
Later, after settling her scores, she wanted to start a new life.
She'd bought her ticket and was about to flee overseas when the docks were sealed off, packed so tightly there was no way through.
The young officer stood across from her and held out a hand with a smile. “Good girl, where are you taking our son?”
