When Jiang Yanyan finally accepted her new identity, the first thing she realized was that Liu Meilin's family… was not bad at all.
They were just poor, tired, and broken by shame.
Her father, Liu Daqiang, was a quiet man whose back was permanently bent from years of farm labor. Her mother, Wang Cuihua, had rough hands and permanently reddened eyes from worrying.
Then there were her five brothers —
• Eldest Brother, Liu Cheng, serious, silent, a natural leader.
• Second Brother, Liu Qiang, fiery-tempered and fiercely protective.
• Third Brother, Liu Ming, gentle, book-loving, and kind.
• Fourth Brother, Liu Wei, playful but hardworking.
• Fifth Brother, Liu Hao, the youngest, naive and loyal.
And finally, her three sisters-in-law —
Two were gentle and caring.
But Zhao Lihua, the third sister-in-law, openly despised her.
In the past, whenever Liu Meilin chased boys or caused scandals, it was Zhao Lihua who had to endure the worst gossip. Neighbors mocked her for having such a shameful sister-in-law.
So when Jiang Yanyan woke up transformed — calmer, cleaner, and respectful — Zhao Lihua did not believe it.
She watched every move with cold eyes.
"You'll reveal your true nature soon enough."
But days passed.
Then weeks.
And Jiang Yanyan didn't cause trouble — instead, she cleaned, cooked, fetched water, fed chickens, helped in the fields, mended clothes, and soothed her parents.
Slowly, the entire household began to look at her differently.
