In her previous life, Cheng Jiaxin was a poor student who was forced to leave school in middle school. At twenty, she married a man from her village to whom she had been betrothed as a child.
She never once left her remote, impoverished village. By thirty, the hardships of life had left her feeling like a fifty-year-old woman.
She envied the people her age who had sat in the same classroom as her, changed their fates through education, and gone on to reach the pinnacle of life. Their lives seemed to shine, while hers was worlds apart from theirs.
If she could turn back the wheels of fate, she would study hard and use knowledge to change her tragic destiny. She longed to see the world beyond her village, but it was too late.
After a lifetime of worrying about food and other necessities, Cheng Jiaxin's body was riddled with illness. She died at thirty-five.
Heaven took pity on her, and after dying, Cheng Jiaxin was reborn in the 1990s, back when her family was drowning in debt from her grandfather's medical bills and she had been expelled from school because of her terrible grades.
This time, Cheng Jiaxin won't repeat her old mistakes. She'll use knowledge to change her fate and make her life shine.
Her classmates' mockery, her teacher's advice to quit school, and the neighbors' gossip over their tea won't stop Cheng Jiaxin from pursuing her dream of becoming a top student.
Theme: Work hard, and you will reap the rewards.
Why didn't Cheng Jiaxin tell Wang Fangzhi about her? She was so pretentious and a little disappointed.
