After her mother was driven to take her own life, Chu Yi Yun became a sinner in her family's eyes, surviving meekly and cautiously.
To cure her grandmother's headaches, she swallowed her humiliation and begged for precious medicinal ingredients.
To treat her father's cough, she tested medicine on herself and nearly lost her voice to poison.
To secure an official post for her eldest brother, she used up the favor owed to her mother by a powerful figure.
To heal her second brother's crippled leg, she risked her life and traveled alone into the treacherous Black Mountains in search of herbs, nearly dying in the process.
To cover her third brother's shortfall of thirty thousand taels of silver, she sold the most profitable shop her mother had left her.
To save her fourth brother from the poison, she gave him half her healthy blood and remained unconscious for three days and nights.
After all her sacrifices, when her half-sister Chu Meng Yao got into trouble, the entire family pressured her to take her sister's place in prison.
She suffered torture and humiliation behind bars, was disfigured and crippled, and Chu Meng Yao even bribed the other prisoners to torment her to death.
If the children she loved were all ungrateful wolves, she would stop foolishly sacrificing for them. She would sever ties and go their separate ways.
Yet as the truth slowly came to light and she drifted farther and farther from those so-called relatives, the whole family panicked!
"Yi Yun, give us one more chance. We'll make it up to you!"
Sorry, but you won't get another chance!
