A Lucky Young Lady Returns in Brocade

Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye. When Wen Jin woke, she found herself lying on the heated earthen bed in the farmhouse where she had lived as a child. Beside her sat her mother, Ji Shi, someone she had seen countless times in her dreams. The Wen family was large, but not particularly prosperous. Her father was the third child. He had two older brothers and an older sister, as well as a younger brother and a younger sister. Her father was the classic case of a man his father didn’t care for and his mother didn’t love: the family couldn’t get by without him working, but thought they could do without him at mealtimes. A natural disaster struck, and the Wen family had to sell their sons and daughters to survive. Wen Jin was sold under those circumstances. Heaven took pity on her, and she met kind people who gave her a peaceful, happy life. But whenever she woke in the middle of the night, she thought of the parents she had left behind. After learning Wen Jin had been sold, her mother went mad and eventually drowned in the river. After burying his wife, her father swallowed a packet of arsenic, set a fire, and brought the whole Wen family to its end. When she returned and learned the truth, her heart broke. Luckily, she had come back! None of it had happened yet. She still had a chance to change everything.
