(Complete. My next novel, Reborn: Divorce in 1950, is currently updating. Please add it to your collection!)
Ever since Fuxiang, the silly girl from the Chen family, bumped into the huge incense burner in front of Ping'an Temple, she'd been a different person after waking up. She wasn't silly anymore, but spent all day muttering to herself about wanting incense offerings.
Li Guizi, the old bachelor from the neighboring village, wanted to pay a bride price of five yuan to marry her and have her bear his children. The next day, he ran into a venomous snake on the mountain, fell down the slope, and badly injured his lower body, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.
Her stepmother, Mei Yunfang, was always looking for a way to throw her out of the house. A few days later, she knocked out her own front teeth.
Her cowardly father let her be beaten and scolded. The next day, more than a dozen cockroaches crawled into his liquor bottle.
Everyone in the village said Fuxiang was a jinx, and that anyone who got close to her would suffer bad luck.
Only Cen Weidong, who'd returned from the army to recover from his injuries, noticed that whenever he touched the silly girl, the old wounds that even the military hospital couldn't treat would ease considerably.
Cen Weidong brought a watch, a radio, and a sewing machine to ask for her hand in marriage. He promised to hand over his military allowance after they wed and to do whatever his wife said. He was completely sincere, and thought he was sure to win the beauty's heart.
But to his surprise, the silly young woman didn't want the three big-ticket items. She only wanted incense: "I want to marry someone who knows how to make incense..."
Coming next: Reborn: Divorce in 1950
In her previous life, Qin Xiufang believed the nonsense that she could get divorced without leaving the family. She worked like a beast of burden for the Zhou family her whole life, cared for Zhou's parents until their deaths, and raised the son of the late eldest Zhou son. In the end, she was left with no one to rely on in her old age, and her adopted son pushed her off a mountain to her death.
Reborn, Qin Xiufang no longer believes the Zhou family's nonsense: "You're the only daughter-in-law we could ever want. We think of you as our own daughter." Everyone can take care of their own parents, and raise their own nephews. She'll go to the city to find her biological parents, who were separated from her years ago and have since become high-ranking officials, as well as the benefactor who helped her. She'll make up for the tragedy of being separated from her family in her previous life and never seeing them again.
