Chapter 1 - 1: Back Again?

In the early hours of midsummer, just as dawn broke, the fields were already bustling with activity.

Sun Chan bent over in the corn rows, weeding, with bruises on her face and body from her husband's beatings. Her arms were too weak to lift, but her husband would never do these chores. If she didn't hurry, the crops would be ruined.

After working for several hours, she was so exhausted that she saw stars. As she tried to stand, her legs gave way, causing her to collapse onto the ground. The earth was scorching, and the pain made her groan, but she couldn't move at all.

Bitterness welled up in Sun Chan's heart, yet she felt relieved: I might just work myself to death like this...

In a daze, she felt a cold sensation as water was poured over her head, soaking her entirely. In the heat, it made her shiver all over, and then someone pushed her hard, with a familiar voice ringing in her ears.

"All you do is eat and sleep! Abandoned and humiliated, yet you still have the nerve?"

Sun Chan sat up, dazed. Wasn't she dead? How could she still be scolded for not working now that she's in the underworld?

Looking at her adoptive mother, Zhao Xiuxia, who appeared much younger, she was momentarily confused about what was happening.

Her eyes glanced around at the shabby courtyard, the mud walls, and missing glass patched up with plastic bags.

Everything was so familiar. Sun Chan suddenly covered her mouth, terror filling her eyes. She had been reborn twenty years ago, to the day before her engagement!

Zhao Xiuxia was still nagging, but Sun Chan's heart was overwhelmed with excitement, unable to hear anything clearly.
