(Era setting + no abuse of heroine + self‑love + independent beauty + everyone ends up in regret)
Because Lin Jingwen could not bear children, she spent eight years in her husband’s household working like a beast of burden—serving the entire family’s food, drink, and daily needs—without daring to utter a single complaint.
Yet not one person cherished her efforts!
– Her stepson cursed her as a “vicious stepmother.”
– Her mother‑in‑law scolded her as a “hen that lays no eggs.”
– Her sisters‑in‑law mocked her, dumping all the housework on her.
– Her husband despised her, never touched her, and when his first love returned, he immediately wanted a divorce.
Lin Jingwen refused to divorce, quarreled daily, but in the end, she became a madwoman whom everyone shunned and reviled. She lost everything, developed breast cancer, and, in despair, threw herself into the river.
Then—she was reborn.
Adapted as a short drama.
