Qin Qing was sixteen. After her parents divorced and remarried, she became a burden they passed back and forth between them.
Her mother wanted to settle abroad with her new husband, while her father had a wife and daughter of his own. The question of who would take Qin Qing became a major problem.
In her previous life, afraid to be alone, Qin Qing weighed her options and shamelessly clung to her father’s household.
She thought everything would be fine as long as she kept her head down until she came of age.
She had no idea that her nightmare would begin the moment she moved in...
The woman surnamed Su was sweet on the outside but cruel inside. She dismissed the household help right away, made Qin Qing do all the dirty and exhausting chores, and frequently beat and berated her.
Once, Qin Qing accidentally knocked over Qin Yue’s crystal ornament. Su slapped her so hard that her ears rang from then on.
She knelt in the snow to pick up beans and washed clothes in icy water. Before dawn, she had to get up and make breakfast for the whole family... In just two years, Qin Qing suffered every kind of hardship.
At last, when she had endured until adulthood, Qin Qing could take no more and escaped the quagmire. But a man arranged by Qin Yue tricked her and broke her heart. Despairing of everything, she finally slit her wrists and ended her life...
When Qin Qing opened her eyes, she had actually returned to the crucial turning point in the story.
Cling to someone? No way. She could build a good life on her own.
She got into the university that the mistress’s daughter couldn’t get into even if she died trying, and she was admitted after being pursued by the school, with the highest score.
She took over the company her father had spent years painstakingly building. Without that financial foundation, his new family fell from the clouds into the mud.
Her mother, who had abandoned her, refused to leave and insisted on clinging to Qin Qing. Qin Qing said, “Sorry. Once you leave, there’s no coming back.”
*
Qin Yue had always known that her father had a legitimate daughter one year older than her.
She hated Qin Qing to the bone and had decided that if Qin Qing ever came into their home, she and her mother would humiliate her mercilessly.
Who could have guessed that Qin Qing wouldn’t even cross their threshold, and yet their family’s fortunes would suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse?
Her maternal grandfather went bankrupt, her father was reported, and her parents’ relationship fell apart. In a single night, they tore into each other...
Qin Qing was nowhere to be seen, and yet her shadow was everywhere.
Qin Yue was miserable. She poured her heart out to her dream guy: “Qin Qing is a bad person. Don’t trust her!”
Song Cheng furrowed his brows and stared at her, his expression complicated.
“You don’t mean my uncle’s precious darling, do you? If that’s really the case, we’d better stop seeing each other now.”
-
Everyone knew that Song Zhang of the Song family was an untouchable figure.
What no one knew was that Song Zhang treated Qin Qing with the utmost care and pursued her for years, finally winning her heart when he was nearly thirty.

Next novel: My Second Marriage to the Male Lead’s Older Brother
Blurb: Liang Zhi was reborn on the very day Cheng Mu brought his wife home and came to end things with her.
In her previous life, she and Cheng Mu had grown up together and pledged themselves to each other. They hadn’t made things official before their families’ elders, but everyone already assumed they were a couple and was happy about it.
Later, the college entrance exams were reinstated, and Cheng Mu got into university.
Cheng Mu asked Liang Zhi to wait for him. She agreed and promised to take good care of his parents while he was away.
Four years later, Cheng Mu did come back, but he wasn’t alone. He brought a pregnant woman with him.
Cheng Mu smiled and introduced her to everyone as his wife, his university classmate, and the mother of his child.+
Liang Zhi felt as if she’d been struck by lightning.
While Cheng Mu was studying, his mother got sick, and Liang Zhi rushed around taking care of her. When she was too ill to get out of bed, Liang Zhi helped wash and feed her.
When Cheng Mu’s father died, the family couldn’t get in touch with Cheng Mu, so Liang Zhi buried him in her capacity as his daughter-in-law.
In their relatively secluded village, everyone even assumed Liang Zhi was Cheng Mu’s wife, and was just waiting for him to graduate so they could marry.
Cheng Mu said he hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. If Liang Zhi was worried about gossip, she could continue living in his home as his daughter-in-law.
He also said that he and his wife would settle in the city, and that he’d explain to people that they were “divorced but still living together.”
The reborn Liang Zhi was furious. She slapped him and said, “Who says I’m your wife? I’m your brother’s wife!”
Cheng Mu had an older brother, Cheng Songyue.
He had always kept Cheng Mu firmly in his shadow. Whenever Cheng Songyue was around, no one noticed Cheng Mu.
Cheng Songyue joined the army at eighteen, became the youngest regiment commander at twenty-four, then vanished without a trace at twenty-six.
Everyone said Cheng Songyue was dead. Even his mother had given up hope of ever seeing her elder son again.
Cheng Mu hadn’t expected Liang Zhi to prefer marrying a dead man.
His voice turned cold. “Suit yourself.”
Liang Zhi clenched her jaw and held herself back with all her might, barely stopping herself from picking up a rock and smashing him with it.
On the day Cheng Mu was about to leave with his wife, a jeep suddenly drove into the village. A tall, stern-looking man got out and said, “Mom, I’m home.”
Cheng Mu’s mother said, “Son, come over here. This is your wife.”
She pulled Liang Zhi straight in front of her eldest son.

Is it necessary to study finance with such a pig's brain? I laughed.
Haha, Xia Tao's brain is only capable of getting into trouble, thinking that she will be rich after studying finance, and doesn't even think about whether she has the ability. Don't continue to cause trouble to others. She used to be able to see her father clearly, but she can't understand it when it comes to herself. Or maybe she knows that there is a heroine to support her, so she becomes willful.
