CompletedLin Tao was labeled a “coffin child” from birth, and the superstitious villagers believed she was cursed. To profit from her dowry, her biased grandmother tried to marry her off as a stepmother to a twice-married man with three kids.
Unwilling to accept this fate, Lin Tao met Li Chengxi. Before their wedding, she confessed: “I’m a coffin child. People think I bring bad luck.”
Li Chengxi, unimpressed by the old beliefs, responded: “This is a new era. Superstition is outdated nonsense.”
After their marriage, Lin Tao followed Li Chengxi to his military post on a picturesque island. There, she embraced the beauty of island life—chasing the tides, collecting kelp, clams, crabs, and starfish, living a peaceful and fulfilling existence.
Meanwhile, Lin Hui, Lin Tao’s cousin, was reborn after a miserable life of domestic abuse. Jealous of Lin Tao’s happiness in her previous life, Lin Hui set two goals for herself:
Take Lin Tao’s place as the stepmother to the wealthy man’s children.
Push Lin Tao to marry the abusive man from her past.
However, she could only watch helplessly as Lin Tao married a future military leader and led an even happier life. In contrast, Lin Hui’s dreams of a comfortable life as a stepmother turned to dust, as she aged prematurely and raised spoiled, ungrateful children. Her rebirth was ultimately for nothing.
This story is a heartwarming blend of daily family life and romance, set against the tranquil backdrop of 1970s island living.
