Moving Out the Family Fortune, Sending the Blackhearted Relatives to the Countryside

Shen Ruzhi is an eighteen-year-old woman who has just died and been reborn into her past life. In her previous existence, she was deceived by her adoptive parents, Shen Zhongguo and Wang Cuilian, into taking her cousin Wang Yaoyao’s place in being sent to a rural reform farm. There, she endured five years of brutal labor, starvation, and abuse, ultimately being beaten to death by local thugs. Only after her death did she discover that the Shen family were wealthy capitalists secretly transferring assets to Hong Kong, and that she was not their biological daughter but a child Wang Cuilian had stolen from a hospital to replace her own lost infant. In this second life, Shen Ruzhi awakens in her bedroom as her adoptive mother pleads with her to go to the countryside in Wang Yaoyao’s stead. Remembering her tragic fate, she refuses to repeat her mistake and instead decides to turn the tables on her family.

Upon rebirth, Shen Ruzhi discovers she has been granted a mysterious spatial ability that allows her to store any object and access spiritual spring water that enhances health and beauty. She immediately begins executing her revenge plan. First, she manipulates her family into giving her large sums of money under the pretense of preparing for her rural relocation. She extracts one thousand yuan from her mother and five hundred yuan from her cousin, along with Wang Yaoyao’s expensive wristwatch, which she sells for a profit. Simultaneously, she secretly collects hair samples from both Shen Zhongguo and Wang Cuilian to conduct a paternity test, confirming her suspicion that she is not their biological child. She also befriends Tian Xiaoxia, the daughter of a military cadre, who becomes her only true ally in this life.

Shen Ruzhi’s plan involves a critical switch: she registers Wang Yaoyao’s name for the countryside assignment rather than her own. On the day of departure, when officials arrive to take Wang Yaoyao away, the Shen family is thrown into chaos. To prevent her biological daughter from being sent to the countryside, Wang Cuilian is forced to publicly declare that Wang Yaoyao is her own child, not her niece. This admission exposes the Shen family’s long-held secret that Shen Ruzhi is an adopted, non-biological child. The public scandal forces Shen Zhongguo and Wang Cuilian to cast Shen Ruzhi out of the house immediately, stripping her of her household registration and leaving her with nothing but the clothes on her back.

Once expelled, Shen Ruzhi moves in with Tian Xiaoxia’s family. She then proceeds to the basement of the Shen household, where she had previously stolen the keys, and empties the family’s hidden hoard of gold, jewels, and cash into her spatial dimension. She leaves behind bricks to maintain the illusion that the valuables are still there, ensuring that when Shen Jinlin, her adoptive brother, steals the remaining money and disappears, the Shen family will be blamed for internal theft. With the Shen family’s capitalist activities now exposed and their reputation in ruins, Shen Ruzhi prepares to report them to the authorities. Her ultimate goal is to ensure that the Shen family faces the consequences of their crimes, while she builds a new life free from their toxicity, aided by her spatial powers and her loyal friend.
