A Daughter Born in Republican-Era China: Reborn, She Goes on a Rampage

Rebirth, revenge, and a period setting. In the 1930s, having sons wasn't necessarily a good thing. Zhou Xuemei gave birth to two boys in a row, and her husband rented her out to other men so she could bear them sons. It was commonly known as "going out to bear children." After her last bit of worth had been squeezed from her, she discovered that her husband had divorced her long ago and married someone else, and that he had abused her two sons to death. Heartbroken, she hanged herself at her husband's doorstep. When she was reborn, the seeds of revenge began to sprout.
