My Chaotic Life After Being Reborn

Blurb:

Li Meixia had known since she was little that her father belonged to her stepmother's family, and her uncle belonged to her aunt's family.

As for her, she had no home.

To have a home of her own, she worked to help her family build a house and helped her husband care for his paralyzed mother...

But no one noticed how hard she had worked over the years. Everyone simply thought she was supposed to do it!

Then she was unexpectedly reborn and finally saw the truth: family isn't just about blood. Strangers who love you can be family, too.

And the biological father she'd always cared about had never treated her like family.

Li Meixia changed. She dared to stand up to her sweet-talking, hard-hearted stepmother, dared to distance herself from her foolish and mean stepsister, and dared to fall out with her father so she could go to high school.

Li Dahai couldn't understand why his once meek, obedient daughter had become so determined to fight for what she wanted.

He ordered her to go work, but she refused and insisted on studying.

He told her to marry a wealthy man from the village, but she turned him down and even egged their relatives on to beat him up!

He asked a TV station mediator to help win his daughter back, but she sneered at him in front of the cameras and said she was cutting off their father-daughter relationship!

Li Meixia set up scholarships for girls in the village and gave monthly allowances to elderly people living alone, but she wouldn't give the Li family a single cent.

Li Dahai was so furious he slapped his thighs, but it did him no good.

Years later, Li Meixia stood onstage at a corporate awards ceremony. "Your fate is in your own hands. If you're willing to study and work hard, you can become someone who shines brighter than anyone else!"
