Shen Zhihuan died on New Year's Eve.
That day, the family packed up and returned to their hometown.
Shen Ling, the older sister who married halfway through her life, talked about her unhappy marriage and had a big fight with Shen Zhihuan.
"Why did you marry so well? While I married a short-lived man who died young, and I didn't even get to have my wedding night! Now I'm treated like a used slut even though I still have my hymen!"
She was furious and made a scene, turning back. Her parents, fearing she might do something rash, chased after her.
Just as Shen Zhihuan closed the door, she realized that someone had entered her home!
"Dad, Mom—"
Before Shen Zhihuan could utter a sound, her neck was forcefully grabbed by two hands that suddenly emerged from the darkness.
Her opponent immediately used a naked choke to strangle her, and she instantly felt dizzy!
Shen Zhihuan briefly fainted due to suffocation.
In less than a minute, she regained consciousness and forced herself to bite her tongue to stay awake.
This person is no ordinary character!
She had to figure out a way to escape before this man strangled her unconscious a second time.
However, all Shen Zhihuan heard was the sound of her family rushing into the innermost bedroom and slamming the door shut.
Shen Ling's voice was shrill: "Mom! Lock the door right now!!!"
With a "click".
The sound of the lock clicking shut extinguished Chen Zhihuan's last glimmer of hope for life.
She gripped the man's hand tightly: "I'll give you money... I'll give you anything you want..."
The tall, burly man behind her didn't say a word, but pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her body.
The moment he let go, Shen Zhihuan's body was thrown to the ground like a rag doll.
The man burst into a hoarse laugh: "Finally! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"
Shen Zhihuan stared intently at the crack in the door a few steps away; she could clearly feel her life slipping away.
Her good father was busy making phone calls for help.
Her kind mother cried through the door, "Please let us go! You can take all our money..."
In the face of life and death, they abandoned her.
Shen Zhihuan couldn't understand why they would treat her like this.
From childhood to adulthood, my parents always favored my older sister in everything.
They said she was the youngest in the family, and it was only right for her older sister to enjoy things first.
But what did she do wrong to make them hate her so much?
They were both her parents' biological children, yet they had the heart to let her die!
She watched as the man walked towards her step by step, checking to see if she was truly dead.
Shen Zhihuan felt ice-cold all over, and with trembling hands, she pulled out the hairpin from her head.
She's a doctor, and she knows best how to kill a person effectively.
The man crouched down, about to slit her neck.
"Shen Ling, you and your man both deserve to die!"
At this moment, Shen Zhihuan used her last bit of strength to suddenly sit up!
The hairpin in her hand pierced the man's carotid artery with pinpoint accuracy!
"You filthy bitch..."
The man roared, but he couldn't stop the gushing blood.
Shen Zhihuan gripped the blood-stained hairpin and struck three more times, each blow potentially fatal!
The man clutched his neck and soon fell silent.
Shen Zhihuan coughed up blood and collapsed from exhaustion.
As the sirens blared, she saw the tightly closed door finally open.
Shen Ling screamed, heartbroken:
"Mom! Shen Zhihuan is dead?! She can't die! If she dies, who will give us money from her husband's family?!"
"Chen Zhihuan! Wake up! Our father is still in debt, and I haven't even raised enough dowry for my remarriage. I won't let you die!!"
Shen Zhihuan was still breathing when Shen Ling slapped her twice.
She was so angry she died!
...
She didn't know how much time had passed, and as Shen Zhihuan's consciousness drifted away, she suddenly heard a voice.
"Dad, Mom, I've made up my mind. I don't want to marry Xie Lanshen. Although he's a military officer, I've heard that he's been seriously injured and unconscious for the past few days. He'll probably be a cripple in the future. Instead of letting Shen Zhihuan marry him, I'm going on a blind date with Gu Yuchuan today. I want to marry into the Gu family!"
As soon as Shen Ling finished speaking, Fang Qiaolan became anxious: "Xiao Ling, don't be impulsive! Xie Lanshen is still a soldier, no matter what. What are you going to do by marrying Gu Yuchuan? No matter how much dowry his family gives, you'll just be his son's stepmother if you marry him!"
"What's wrong with being a stepmother?" Shen Ling said dismissively. "That child isn't even Chuan-gege's biological child. He married a beauty like me, so wouldn't he have ten or eight kids with me?"
Fang Qiaolan's teeth ached from hearing that "Brother Chuan" call; she couldn't understand what was wrong with her daughter today.
She was previously quite satisfied with her marriage to the Xie family, openly and secretly mocking Shen Zhihuan for marrying into the Gu family and becoming a "sucker".
Now you're suddenly rushing to be someone else's child's stepmother?
Shen Zhihuan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, supporting her slightly heavy body.
The surroundings were all too familiar.
It's still the same house, still the smallest room in the house that never gets any sunlight.
On her bed is the same old floral quilt that she wore 15 years ago before she got married; it's faded from washing.
Shen Zhihuan pinched her temples, quickly snapping back to reality—
She didn't die; she returned to 1982, when she had just turned 19.
Outside, Shen Ling was still listing the advantages of being a stepmother, determined to rush to meet her brother Chuan today.
Shen Zhihuan sneered, knowing that she had also been reborn.
In her previous life, Shen Ling always used marriage as a way to mock Shen Zhihuan.
She always talks about how great it is to be a military officer's wife, but it's ridiculous that she's such a young stepmother.
Shen Ling never expected that her husband, Xie Lanshen, would die so young so soon after they got their marriage certificate.
After Shen Zhihuan married into the Gu family, Gu Yuchuan's career flourished.
Seeing that she was living a life of widowhood while Shen Ling was living a better and better life and becoming a rich wife, Shen Ling was furious.
