Song Rui spent her married life supporting her brother after being tricked into marriage. She worked like a mule and never dared lift her head in her husband’s household.
But after her husband got into an accident, she and her two children were ruthlessly kicked out.
A domineering mother-in-law, vicious sisters-in-law, a biased father-in-law, and nosy neighbors all made a mockery of her.
She raised her son and daughter with great hardship, only for her daughter to grow distant and leave, and her son to become an ungrateful ingrate.
Song Rui had spent her entire life toiling, suffering, and being used by others—only to realize, in the end, that she had been nothing more than a blood bank for everyone else.
When she reopened her eyes after death, she had returned to the fifth year of her marriage.
The daughter who would one day leave the country and never return was now just a toddler, fast asleep in her arms.
This time around, Song Rui only wanted to take good care of herself and her daughter.
Her bloodsucking maternal family? Kicked to the curb.
Her exploitative in-laws? Put in their place.
And the husband she was destined to part ways with? Might as well divorce him early.
What she didn’t expect was that the cold, absentee man from her past life suddenly became increasingly clingy.
Now the man, the money, and even his strength—all belonged to her.
She thought she’d been trapped in a loveless, blind marriage—but turns out, someone had fallen for her at first sight and planned it all along.
Song Rui believed her life had long since become barren—but when she looked back again, the mountains were covered in blooming flowers.
