"Lin Xia dies in despair—beaten by her abusive husband and betrayed by her mother, Liu Cuifang, who forced her into marriage for her brother’s dowry. But fate gives her a second chance: she wakes up on the day her college application is due. In her past life, her mother changed her Peking University acceptance to a vocational school, forcing her to work for her brother’s benefit before selling her off in marriage. But this time, Lin Xia is no longer the obedient daughter. She pretends to comply while secretly manipulating her mother’s greed to reclaim her original university choice. At her celebration banquet, her mother lies to relatives, painting Lin Xia as ungrateful—until the county mayor arrives with her Peking University acceptance letter, exposing the truth.

But her mother’s control doesn’t end there. She follows Lin Xia to university, moves into her dorm, and continues her manipulation. Finally, Lin Xia confronts her mother publicly, cutting the toxic ties for good. This time, she refuses to be a pawn, forging her own path to happiness. "
