In her past life, Wu Manli spent three years paying for her sister-in-law Huang Jinghui's rage. Every time her brother and his wife fought, Huang Jinghui took a hammer to Manli's car. Over seventy thousand yuan in repairs—until the brakes failed, and Manli died under a truck. When she opens her eyes again, she's back on the day of their worst fight. This time, she doesn't try to stop them. She quietly swaps her license plate with her brother's.
Huang Jinghui storms downstairs with a hammer, and Manli "helpfully" points her in the right direction. The woman still smashes the white Tesla—but that's not the worst of it. That night, she crawls under the car and cuts the brake line, convinced 7723 is Manli's. Instead, her brother drives off in the plate-swapped car. A crash on the East Third Ring leaves him paralyzed from the waist down.
Manli has been waiting for this. Three years of surveillance footage, smashed-car videos, search histories, and family chat logs—all saved. When the family begs her to "keep the peace" and drop the charges so her sister-in-law can come home and care for her brother, she says one thing: "She wanted me dead." Then she hires a lawyer, hands over the evidence, and gets a new license plate.
In court, Huang Jinghui sobs that it was a momentary lapse. The prosecution reads her own search history aloud: "Just make it look like an accident." Attempted murder and intentional injury—stacked charges, prison time, restitution. Manli moves out of that house, sleeps till noon, and finally breathes. This time, she's not covering for anyone's conscience.
