Her biological parents bring her home, but they don't like her. When she grows up, they marry her off to a man she doesn't love. He is cruel and beats her to death. When she wakes from the dream, Ye Shuyun hides under the covers and cries. Then her aunt comes home to visit with her child, and Ye Shuyun hears her city-dwelling mother quietly say that she wants to get rid of her. Ye Shuyun blinks her big eyes. She sees the aunt from her dream, the only one who remembered her birthday, whose life was full of hardship, and throws herself into her arms. "I want to go with you, Auntie." Later, Ye Shuyun goes with her aunt's family to an island.

Ye Zhizhi knows she's the fake heiress who was switched at birth, but her adoptive mother dotes on her, her adoptive father likes her, and her brother favors her. Afraid Ye Shuyun will steal their love, she deliberately causes trouble and blames Ye Shuyun, and teaches her to say things that offend people. At last, Ye Shuyun is taken away by her aunt, and Ye Zhizhi can enjoy all the love that should have belonged to her on her own. But then she discovers: While she exhausts herself trying to make her family forget Ye Shuyun, Ye Shuyun has already become the beloved daughter of a regiment commander, as everyone around her calls her; While she works hard to curry favor with her brother, Ye Shuyun has already been spoiled rotten by her little tyrant of a cousin; While she forms cliques at school, Ye Shuyun has already become the most beloved child at the school for the children of service members. Ye Zhizhi: ...? * 1. The couple is set. The male lead appears late, and there is no romance before adulthood. 2. A feel-good farming story full of food, doting family, and everyday family life. Coming next: The Supporting Female in the Comparison Group Awakens [Sixties] Blurb: Ji Wan devoted nearly her entire life to her husband, Dou Wenhua. She honored his parents, supported his siblings, and single-handedly raised the orphaned child of one of his comrades. She even neglected her own twin daughters in the process. After more than ten years of tireless hard work, Ji Wan eagerly waited for her husband to come home. But Dou Wenhua returned with a beautiful woman named Ding Baifei and said he wanted a divorce. Worse, everyone around her urged her to let Dou Wenhua go. Only then did Ji Wan learn that her whole family had known he had fallen for someone else. Even that "orphan" was the child of Dou Wenhua and Ding Baifei! With no child to hold her back, Ding Baifei pursued further studies, graduated from university, and progressed alongside Dou Wenhua. They became a true-love couple everyone envied. And Ji Wan? She was just a resentful, unappreciated tool, whose contributions to the family were never acknowledged. After spending the rest of her life in misery, Ji Wan opens her eyes and finds herself back at twenty-three. The "orphan" Dou Wenhua brought home is drinking formula, chubby and healthy, in stark contrast to her own two daughters, who are thin and dark-skinned. Her heart aches. She flips the table on the spot, gathers her daughters into her arms, and declares that she has to get a divorce! Ding Baifei transmigrates into the heroine of a period romance filled with angst, at the tragic moment just after she has been widowed. The devoted second male lead offers to help raise her child. Thinking of the bright future he will have, Ding Baifei decides not to follow that ridiculous angsty romance plot and lets him leave the child in Ji Wan's care. But just as she thinks she can focus on improving herself, Ji Wan suddenly gets divorced and sends the child back. The child leaves Ding Baifei overwhelmed and unable to do anything else. By the time she realizes what's happened, Ji Wan has not only become the village's most celebrated contributor, but has also joined a state-owned factory, while her two daughters have grown into pillars of society...
