For two years after her son’s wedding, Yang Yufen never showed her face. Everyone said she was the stereotypical cruel mother-in-law who despised her daughter-in-law, Qin Nian—ignoring her during pregnancy, absent when her grandchild fell gravely ill. It wasn’t until Qin Nian met with an accident and the child passed away that Yang Yufen finally saw the truth. At the hospital, she spotted her son, who had been missing for two years, with his mistress. Overcome with rage, she slapped him—only to be shoved by the other woman, stumbling and hitting her head on the steps. Death came swiftly.

But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the moment her son had just married, calling her for the first time. This time, she didn’t hesitate. She took his allowance, gathered all her savings, and rushed to care for her daughter-in-law.
