With the help of a "Mother's Survival Manual", I spent three years in the Lin family's backyard. From a bride who was at the mercy of others, I became a mistress who could handle everything she wanted.
My mother-in-law's favoritism and my sister-in-law's calculations couldn't mess me up.
I thought I should live such a cautious life until my husband, Lin Yanzhi, returned from his travels.
He supported me and read with me at night. The tenderness in his eyes melted all my defenses.
The fine print on the last page of the manual reveals the true meaning of backyard survival - winning one heart is better than thousands of strategies.
Intention: perseverance
