Five years ago, Zhang Mengmeng, the girl group member the whole internet loved to hate, announced her departure after a performance and vanished without a trace.
Five years later, Zhang Mengmeng was back in the public eye.
A short secretly filmed video shot straight to the top of the trending list. Zhang Mengmeng was wearing a plain white dress and picking vegetables at a market, with a little rice-ball of a child holding her right hand.
Comments poured in: Holy crap, she was married after all! And someone actually wanted her!
Before the top trending spot had even warmed up, food vlogger "Mengmengda Star Mom" knocked her off it.
The vlogger had never shown her face, yet had tens of millions of followers. Every time she posted a new food video, it shot straight to the top of the trending list.
Her fans flooded the comments, begging her to feed them.
Before long, sharp-eyed netizens playing detective spotted a problem.
The vlogger had also worn a plain white dress in that day's video, and in a quick flash of the camera, what looked like the very same little rice-ball of a child ran past.
Netizens: ...!!!
Later on, Zhang Mengmeng, wearing a helmet and riding a little scooter through the streets to deliver takeout, was always followed by a crowd of fans shouting "Mommy!"
Reborn Zhang "Mengmengda" Mengmeng pressed down hard on her helmet visor, gave a faint smile, lowered her eyes, and kept her good deeds to herself.

Blurb:
Before she died, Shao Nu looked back on her life.
When she was born, her father casually picked a name for her.
When she came of age, she casually agreed to the marriage.
After getting married, she muddled through life,
always thinking she still had plenty of time.
Shao Nu, heavily pregnant, endured countless scornful looks and vicious rumors.
Yet she never once defended herself.
She thought there would always be a tomorrow.
Lying on the operating table, her consciousness fading, Shao Nu finally understood just how many mistakes she had made.
Her eldest daughter was only six, with no one to look after her.
Her husband had been missing ever since the accident, with no word from him.
If only she could start over...
When she opened her eyes again, the electric fan was whirring overhead,
and everything had returned to six months earlier.

It's so easy to hold it high and put it down lightly. .

Finished with flowers, sprinkled with flowers, finished with flowers! ! ! ! !
