Everyday Life in 1950s Hong Kong

While traveling, Chang Weizhen happened upon a “Cosmic Pouch” and brought disaster upon herself.

She died, then came back to life as a wealthy young widow in Shanghai in 1948. The original owner of the body had died in childbirth, and Chang Weizhen transmigrated into her body and delivered the baby in her place.

Her husband was dead, and her brother-in-law's family was watching her like hawks. They planned not only to devour her inheritance, but also to use her and her newborn child to distract others and squeeze every last bit of value out of them. Her sister-in-law resented her and planned to kill her as she was about to leave. The second sister-in-law, unable to have children, planned to take advantage of the chaos to kill the mother and steal the child for herself. The third branch schemed to eliminate one more household and claim a bigger share. The fifth branch had its eye on the money and planned to swoop in after others did the work. The seventh branch stirred up trouble and would be happy to see mother and child dead...

There was no one reliable in her husband's family, and none in her own, either.

A gambling father, a mother who favored sons, a vicious older brother, a sinister sister-in-law, a selfish younger brother, and her, too weak to stand up for herself.

Chang Weizhen: What a rotten life. There's no explaining this mess!

On her first day after giving birth, she already had to think through every possible move.

A weak woman who had just given birth, with a frail, premature newborn in tow, caught between danger ahead and behind, with countless vicious dogs along the way desperate to take a bite out of her. The situation was enough to make her see black again and again.

Fortunately, the Cosmic Pouch that had caused her death in her previous life had transmigrated with her.

Clutching the little pouch and looking at her frail baby, Chang Weizhen gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and ran!

But before running, she had to take what she could. How else would a widow with a child survive?

After countless hardships, Chang Weizhen finally brought her child to Hong Kong. Life in Hong Kong wasn't easy in those days, either, but at least there were no wolves and tigers waiting to bite them at any moment. Chang Weizhen set about building a life of her own.

Even in adversity, love life and keep striving, again and again.
