In the early summer of 1975, after Gu Ling got off work from the food factory, she hurried to her home, riding a broken and clunking bicycle. While pedaling furiously, thinking that she had to go back early; otherwise, her mother, Sun Xiulan, would surely guard a table of food so that no one else was allowed to eat until she came home from work.

In this way, Gu Ya, the stepdaughter that her stepmother Sun Xiulan brought, will definitely be cursing and shaking her face. At night, when the two of them sleep in the same room, Gu Ya will be picking on Gu Ling's faults.

It's not that Gu Ling doesn't want to tear her face off with Gu Ya, but every time she thinks of her stepmother Sun Xiulan's gentle and humble face, she endures it. She's not willing to make things difficult for Sun Xiulan.

After all, who in this neighborhood didn't know that Sun Xiulan was the best stepmother in the world? They even had to wait for Gu Ling to come home before they could start eating.

Although Gu Ling does not want the family to starve because of her, they can just leave some for her, but Sun Xiulan always insisted on this and always put Gu Ling at the center of everything at home. This made it hard for Gu Ling to say anything.

She can only tolerate and give in at every turn, or else it would seem like she was bullying the good stepmother Sun Xiulan.

However, these days made Gu Ling uncomfortable. Sun Xiulan's excessive tenderness and spoiling led to Gu Ya and her being at odds with each other, but for Sun Xiulan's sake, she does not bother with Gu Ya...

Gu Ling thought about all of this, and suddenly a suffocating feeling washed over her mind. Then, at the next moment, when the bike turned the corner, she suddenly slammed into a wall. The inertia led to Gu Ling directly being thrown out of her bike, scraping her leg, and hitting her forehead against the ground, which was paved with red bricks.

The bike fell to the ground, the broken wheel is still flying around, and Gu Ling is lying on the ground, her eyes momentarily disoriented, as if the soul drifted far away. The next second, she closed her eyes and opened them again, but she felt that her mind gradually cleared up.

Pain, very painful, but tears wouldn't fall. Gu Ling struggled to get up to look at the bike beside her, in a momentary trance.

She was 42 years old this year, diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, and wasn't she supposed to be lying alone in a hospital bed? How could she be here?

Gu Ling looked down at what she was wearing and then surveyed this old, deep, long alley. With a rumble in her head, she...seemed to have been reborn in the year she was twenty years old?

When Gu Ling limped and pushed her bike back to the Gu family, she looked at the people sitting around the table, one by one, waiting impatiently for the meal to start. Her biological father, Gu Changjian, looked to be in his forties, and her stepmother, Sun Xiulan, was in her youthful appearance. She was now gentle and considerate, not at all the same ruthless and treacherous poisonous woman who later tore her face off.

And her stepsister, Gu Ya, was complaining unhappily. ''Dad, Mom, if Gu Ling doesn't come back today, we won't eat? Why does everything have to be about her? Are Xiao Bin and I not human beings?  "

Gu Xiaobin, the son born after Gu Changjian married Sun Xiulan. He was white and clean and said with a twinkle in his eye, "I'm not hungry; I drank soda and ate instant noodles this afternoon!"

Gu Ya looked at Gu Ling's overly pretty face and immediately got angry. "Mom, you favor Gu Ling over Xiao Bin, so I'm not a child of the Gu family, am I? Then why don't you just throw me out? Why did you bring me to this house in the first place!"
