Rising from Ashes — Episode 16

After losing her father at a young age, Shen Nian grew up enduring abuse and humiliation from her stepfamily while her mother urged her to remain silent. When her stepfather planned to marry her off to her unworthy stepbrother, Shen Nian decided to escape. Hiding her acceptance to a top university, she deceived her stepfamily into thinking she was working to support them and left. For years, she juggled work and studies, eventually catching the eye of a prestigious company that sponsored her overseas education. Five years later, Shen Nian returned as a celebrated figure in the business world. However, her stepfamily continued exploiting her mother and demanding money while showing no gratitude. When they asked for an outrageous sum of 1 million yuan, Shen Nian had enough. Resolute and fearless, she returned home to confront them and reclaim her life.
