The Beautiful Mom of the Contrast Group Gets Her Groove Back [Period]

Li Wei was beautiful, gentle, and always silently endured every grievance. Her husband and she were drained by his family until, in the end, she lost both her daughter and her home. Only after being reborn did she realize she was the unlucky one in a comparison story, while her younger brother's wife, Chen Xueting, had always been the fortunate one.

When her mother-in-law carelessly looked after her daughter and the little girl came down with a fever, Li Wei seized the chance to make a scene and demand a family separation. She kicked her parasitic in-laws out of her life and made her own little family thrive.

Her coworkers at the factory mocked her for joining the sales department, earning the lowest wages in the entire factory, and having to go out every day. They said it was much more comfortable to stay at the factory and slack off.

But soon, the whole factory was relying on her to generate profits.

Her parents' family ran a small food business. The villagers laughed at them for getting up early and working late for meager earnings, saying they would be better off trading small goods.

But the Li family went on to build one of the earliest and best-known chain businesses in the country. Even the mayor commended them and encouraged everyone to learn from their example.

Her husband became a leading scientist, and her daughter was bright and hardworking. Having lived her life over again, Li Wei felt she had no regrets and that her life was complete.

Chen Xueting had always compared herself to Li Wei. Aside from being pretty, Li Wei had less to be content with in every way.

Her husband was never around to care for her, her in-laws disliked her for giving birth to a girl, and her own impoverished family couldn't even afford food, let alone help her.

But after Li Wei separated from the family, everything changed. Her life grew brighter and brighter.

Years later, Chen Xueting lay alone in a hospital bed, watching Li Wei looking radiant on TV. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand why she had become the one in the comparison story.
