When Motherhood Walks Out

The Shen family wants heirs and has no use for daughters, and that runs through the whole household. She married into it to keep a promise she made to her best friend as she was dying, and she raises the newborn Nora as her own. Neither of them is treated fairly there. Her husband, Shen Tianhao, has an affair and a son by the other woman. That settles the balance in the house for good. To keep Nora from growing up as the target, she leaves the Shen family with the girl and nothing else, no property and no money, and starts over from zero. The people who turned their backs begin to pay for it.
