Li Su opened her eyes and realised that her environment had changed again.
She couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
She didn’t even get time to rest before her world was changed so quickly!

Li Su sat up and looked around.
Although she wasn’t mentally prepared, she was still taken aback by how poor the family was.

The plot slowly entered her mind.
Li Su felt confused and heavy.
Damn, it was another weird story.
But why was the original body’s name also Li Su?!

This is a cliché story of a phoenix man and a peacock woman2.
Li Su is the mother of the phoenix man, Jiang Shan.
Since she was a widow, she raised her only son with painstaking effort.
Jiang Shan was very filial, sensible, and hard-working.
He became the first student to enter university from his village.

After graduating from university, Jiang Shan stayed in the city and worked for a well-known company.
Since he was steadfast and willing to work, he was highly valued by his boss.
By chance, Jiang Shan accidentally saved a girl being pestered by a drunkard during his night shift.

As a result, Jiang Shan saw the girl at the company the next day and she fiercely started pursuing him.
Her name was Wei Yue Er.

Jiang Shan had a girlfriend at the time.
However, after the Wei family used some methods, the girl retreated and the two of them broke up.
Later, Jiang Shan and Wei Yue Er got together slowly.

After going through various events, Jiang Shan and Wei Yue Er finally got married.
When Jiang Shan first came to the city, he had no savings.
The wedding venue was paid for by the Wei family.
However, in order to have some consideration for Jiang Shan’s face, his name was written alongside Wei Yue Er’s.

Jiang Shan was a very filial person.
After he got married, he discussed with Wei Yue Er about taking Li Su to the city to live with them.

But when Li Su arrived, there were many arguments between Wei Yue Er and Li Su due to different upbringings.
Wei Yue Er disliked Li Su’s ignorance and lack of hygiene, while Li Su disliked Wei Yue Er for being too squeamish and did not serve her son, instead having her son serve Wei Yue Er.

Therefore, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were always fighting.
Jiang Shan was also extremely conceited, sensitive, and suspicious.
Wei Yue Er’s dislike of Li Su made Jiang Shan very unhappy and thought that she looked down on him.
However, due to the Wei family, Jiang Shan could only endure it silently.

Later on, Wei Yue Er became pregnant.
For the sake of the child, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to a truce and were harmonious.
The husband and wife were affectionate and the Jiang family was at peace for a while.

But this changed after Wei Yue Er gave birth to a daughter.
As soon as Li Su heard that Wei Yue Er was giving birth to a daughter, her face collapsed.
When she heard the doctor say that Wei Yue Er had a difficult birth, injured her body, and might have difficulties getting pregnant in the future, Li Su left the hospital.

The Wei family took Wei Yue Er back for the confinement period3.
and she lived there ever since.

 Jiang Shan went to pick her up, but the Wei family said that Wei Yue Er could move back if Li Su would move out and not disturb the married couple.
The Wei family even offered to buy a house for Li Su to live in.

Jiang Shan was arrogant and suspicious.
He was also very filial to Li Su.
How could he agree?

So, they were at a stalemate.

Jiang Shan came back from work every day and was alone.
His work wasn’t going well.
Although Li Su felt wronged, she felt sorry for her son and couldn’t bear this.
So, she quietly returned to her hometown.

Who knew that an accident would suddenly happen? Li Su, who was reluctant to spend money on a plane or train ticket, chose to take a bus.
The bus got into an accident due to the driver’s fatigue, and Li Su died.

After Jiang Shan heard the news, he fainted.
The Wei family also got the news, so Wei Yue Er came back with her daughter to help take care of Li Su’s matters.

Wei Yue Er was a little nervous at first.
She knew that Jiang Shan and her mother-in-law had a very good relationship.
Her mother-in-law worked hard to bring up Jiang Shan.
She had thought about being filial to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law was too unreasonable.
She was also spoiled since she was a child, so how could she stand this? Along with the difficulties of getting along with her mother-in-law, the problematic birth she went through, and Jiang Shan not speaking up for her, she moved back with her family in a fit of anger.

Wei Yue Er was worried that Jiang Shan would blame her for her mother-in-law’s death.
However, Jiang Shan didn’t seem to care about it and instead kindly comforted her.
After arranging her mother-in-law’s matters, they returned to how they lived previously, even more harmonious than before.
He loved his daughter and took good care of them.
He was a good husband and a good father in everyone’s eyes.

In the blink of an eye, 4-5 years passed.
Jiang Shan remained the same.
After a long time, the Wei family and Wei Yue Er relaxed.

Wei Yue Er felt very happy.
Her husband was gentle and considerate, her daughter was smart and cute, and her parents were healthy.
She felt that her life was perfect.

Except for the anniversary of the death of her mother-in-law every year.
Her husband was always depressed.

But the death of her mother-in-law has always been a sore spot between her and her husband’s heart.
She dared not touch it easily.

Later, President Wei fell ill.
After recovering, he was still weak.
His company then began to rely more heavily on Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan also behaved respectfully and asked for detailed instructions for all matters.

After a long time, President Wei was relieved and gradually delegated him more power.

However, in a year, Jiang Shan slowly removed President Wei’s influence and completely controlled the company.

Wei Yue Ei didn’t know anything about it and was immersed in her own happiness.

But one day, she accompanied Jiang Shan to the company’s annual meeting and accidentally drank too much.
After waking up, she found herself lying naked in a hotel room next to a naked man.
Just as Wei Yue Er was panicking, the door of the room opened.
A sweaty Jiang Shan rushed in and his worried eyes became cold when he saw the scene in front of him.

Wei Yue Er hugged the quilt in a panic and fell off the bed.
She tried to explain, but she only saw Jiang Shan’s back as he walked away.

Since then, Jiang Shan had often stayed out at night, occasionally coming back drunk with the scent of strange women on him.
He always refused to say anything to Wei Yue Er.

Wei Yue Er blamed herself a lot.
She thought it was her fault so she didn’t dare to tell anyone what happened.
She couldn’t tell her parents.
Her father was sick again and her mother was busy taking care of her father.
Wei Yue Er couldn’t help.
She was ashamed to bother them because of this matter so she endured it alone.

This cold situation lasted for half a year.
Wei Yue Er couldn’t bear such mental pressure and became mentally unstable.
She finally left behind a suicide note and chose to commit suicide.

In her suicide note, Wei Yue Er said that everything was her fault, that she had done something wrong and that it had nothing to do with Jiang Shan.
She also wrote that she hoped her parents would not blame Jiang Shan.

After Father Wei heard the news, he fainted.
He guessed things were not as simple as Wei Yue Er outlined in her note.

Sure enough, that night, Jiang Shan went to the hospital alone to see Father Wei.
He told Father Wei that he was right, that Wei Yue Er was forced to death by him.
He didn’t love Wei Yue Er at all.
He and his girlfriend never broke up and had been together, having a son that was only 2 months younger than Wei Yue Er’s daughter.
The reasons he married Wei Yue Er were for the company, money, and power.

He didn’t intend on forcing Wei Yue Er to her death.
He thought about divorcing her when he took control of the company.
When he knew that the Wei family actually indirectly killed his mother, he changed his plans.
He deliberately got Wei Yue Er drunk and made her feel like everything was her fault.
He used cold, abusive silent treatment to drive her crazy, thus resulting in her killing herself!

At the end of his admission, Father Wei’s eyes widened and he was smothered to death.

Mother Wei, who was coming over to bring fruit, heard these words.
She saw Father Wei and was immediately furious.
She rushed Jiang Shan and the two of them struggled in the room.
Jiang Shan accidentally pushed Mother Wei from the windowsill where she fell to her death.

When the police came in to question him, Jiang Shan said that, upon Father Wei learning of Wei Yue Er’s death, he had a heart attack since he couldn’t accept it.
Mother Wei couldn’t accept the news about her daughter and her husband, so she jumped from the window to commit suicide.
He tried to stop her, but he wasn’t able to.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Shan had a good image and the fact that the police couldn’t find any evidence to suggest otherwise, so they determined Mother Wei died by suicide.
Jiang Shan was able to escape unscathed.

Half a year after their deaths, Jiang Shan married Mei Li.
After their marriage, his son took on the last name of Jiang and became the son of Jiang Shan.

After marriage, Mei Li treated Wei Yue Er’s daughter, Jiang Xin Ran, very well.
She was totally submissive and granted her whatever she wanted.
It wasn’t long before Mei Li worked her way into Jiang Xin Ran’s good graces and they lived together like a happy family.

When she saw this, Li Su laughed coldly.
Jiang Shan was no doubt, a jerk, and that Mei Li was not a good person.
They were just as bad as each other4.
Jiang Shan still had some good-will towards Jiang Xin Ran since she was his biological daughter, but Mei Li was different.
Jiang Xin Ran was the eldest young miss, and was only ‘pampered and spoiled’ by Mei Li so that she would behave atrociously and be sent to a foreign country where she would gain a drug addiction and die a tragic death.

Li Su figured the person she had to rescue this time was Jiang Shan.
Preventing Jiang Shan from blackening would be a difficult task.
Jiang Shan was probably already starting to blacken, but he should not be completely black.
After all, from what she read of the plot, his push to blacken started with his mother, Li Su.

Because Jiang Shan and Wei Yue Er were married, although he was rushing for the Wei family’s money, there was no need to despise Wei Yue Er and then betray her.
He also started out thinking well of his wife.

Li Su remembered that the reason why Jiang Shan would blacken and have his old love ignited was during the second month after Li Su left.
Since Li Su and Wei Yue Er did not get along, Li Su always had something bad to say about Wei Yue Er to Jiang Shan every day.
Wei Yue Er felt that Jiang Shan did not speak up for her and was in a bad mood.

This matter regarding Jiang Shan was very difficult.
He cherished the memory of his first girlfriend, Mei Li.
She was gentle and soft and was full of affection for him.
A few steps and Jiang Shan would completely blacken.

So, if you didn’t want Jiang Shan to turn black, you had to first look at Li Su.
