Reborn: Seeking Shelter Under My Birth Father’s Roof

This is the heroine's eighth life. In her first seven, she was an empress of the Tang Dynasty, a beloved concubine of the Han Dynasty, a favorite consort of the Xiongnu, the wife of a Nationalist officer in Republican-era China, a Hong Kong movie star, a murder suspect on the run, and the wife of a wealthy merchant. In this life, she is born in 2000 into an ethnic Korean village in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin, in Northeast China. Her name is Park Si-a, and she has an older brother. Her parents divorce when she is five. That year, her father goes to Shanghai for work and meets a wealthy Hong Kong woman. His striking looks and vigorous masculinity catch the woman's eye, and she takes a fancy to him at once. He promptly returns to the Northeast, divorces her mother, and takes his son to Hong Kong, where he remarries the wealthy woman. Heartbroken, her mother pays a large sum to an employment agency and goes to Seoul, South Korea, to work that same year. From then on, Park Si-a stays in the village with her grandparents, growing up as a left-behind child.

Ten years later, after her grandparents pass away, her father returns to the Northeast to handle their funeral arrangements and takes Si-a with him to Hong Kong. From then on, Si-a begins a life under someone else's roof...
