Shu Yuqing was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night. She sat up abruptly in bed and looked around the room with suspicion and uncertainty.
The layout and arrangement looked both familiar and strange. She thought she was still dreaming when a deep male voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Shu Yuqing froze instantly, slowly turning her head to look at her husband who was speaking, her eyes filled with astonishment. She couldn't help but think, "Wasn't I in the hospital ward? How did I get home? And how come this person looks exactly like Ye Boxian when he was young?"
Although she was shocked, Shu Yuqing remained calm and composed. She excused herself by saying she was thirsty, got out of bed, opened the door, and left the bedroom.
Walking into the living room, Shu Yuqing turned on the lights based on her memory. She stared blankly at the familiar furnishings in the living room. She was now certain that this was the old house where she and Ye Boxian had lived more than 20 years ago.
Her gaze swept over the newspaper on the small round table. Maintaining her composure, she reached out and picked it up. Her eyes lingered on the large date on the paper, and Shu Yuqing's pupils suddenly contracted, her heart pounding faster.
May 1, 1999—it's actually 1999!
After putting down the newspaper, Shu Yuqing went straight to the bathroom. The woman in the mirror was none other than herself, a young Shu Yuqing.
She raised her hand to touch her face in the mirror, murmuring, "How could this be? How could this be? Have I gone back to more than 20 years ago?"
Suddenly she remembered the date she had just seen in the newspaper: May 1st, the day she and Ye Boxian adopted Jiang Xin.
It seems I've come back a day too late and have already adopted Jiang Xin, that ungrateful wretch.
Thinking of Jiang Xin, Shu Yuqing's eyes suddenly flashed with hatred. This heartless adopted daughter had repaid kindness with enmity and ruined their whole family!
Jiang Xin is the daughter of her husband's comrade-in-arms, Jiang Zhengqing. Jiang Zhengqing committed suicide out of fear of punishment for embezzlement and bribery. His wife could not bear the blow and followed him, leaving five-year-old Jiang Xin unattended.
In her previous life, she and her husband kindly took this child home, made her the little princess of the Ye family, gave her a life of luxury, provided her with the best learning resources, sent her to study abroad, and bought her a car and a house.
For her job, Shu Yuqing personally invited the school principal to tea, putting on a smiling face and smoothing over the working relationship for her.
But this ungrateful wretch abandoned the Ye family for her boyfriend.
Finally, they added insult to injury, causing Ye Boxian to suffer a heart attack and die, and leaving his son with crippled legs. Shu Yuqing was also disoriented by this series of misfortunes and fell heavily down the stairs, ending up in the ICU.
What's so good about the adopted daughter's boyfriend besides his good looks?
In high school, he would skip classes with Jiang Xin to fight, smoke, and was lazy, emotionally unstable, and had a violent temper.
Shu Yuqing doesn't object to her daughter Jiang Xin having a boyfriend, but she does object to her being with this man.
He was like a demon from the abyss, unambitious and only wanting to drag the daughter whom the Ye family had raised for more than 20 years into the mud.
Which loving parent would be willing to hand their child over to such a man? But Shu Yuqing's advice became her excuse to attack the Ye family.
Jiang Xin said that Shu Yuqing was domineering and harsh towards her, and that she herself was not a good person, so why did she have such high expectations of others?
She broke ties with the Ye family for her boyfriend Jiang Xin and was determined to be with him.
Her boyfriend reported the company for tax evasion, but the Ye family is open and aboveboard and unafraid of being reported.
But when Yanling triumphantly told Ye Boxian that it was all Jiang Xin's idea, Ye Boxian suffered a sudden heart attack and died despite all efforts to save him.
Shu Yuqing's son, Ye Beichen, was involved in a car accident on his way to deliver money to Jiang Xin, losing both legs and becoming disabled.
Shu Yuqing suffered one blow after another, and was in a daze all day. When she went downstairs, she accidentally missed a step and fell. She was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and was reborn back to twenty-five years ago.
She didn't know what happened to her son in her previous life, but based on her guesses about Jiang Xin and her boyfriend, they definitely wouldn't let go of the Ye family's huge fortune.
Unexpectedly, the prestigious Ye family ended up becoming a stepping stone on their adopted daughter's path to love.
Shu Yuqing closed her eyes in anguish, unwilling to recall what had happened in her past life. Every time she thought about it, her heart ached terribly, and her hatred for Jiang Xin deepened.
If I could have come back a day earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let this ungrateful wretch into the house. I'd rather raise a dog than her; even a dog knows how to be grateful!
They adopted her out of kindness, but it brought their family utter disaster.
Thinking back to her past life, she had earnestly advised Jiang Xin not to get involved with someone like Yan Ling. Now she realized that she had been deluding herself; the two of them were clearly birds of a feather.
"Since you keep saying that we are not your biological parents and should not interfere in your marriage, then in this life, I will make you a true adopted daughter and let you taste what it's like to live under someone else's roof. You, Jiang Xin, do not deserve my love at all! Nor do you deserve the Ye family's resources!"
Shu Yuqing's eyes sharpened, and she secretly hardened her heart.
