Broken Lineage

Chen Yao was an unplanned child born from her parents’ dual-surname split marriage. Since childhood, she has been treated as a bargaining chip to balance the family’s interests, deprived of resources and pushed aside to benefit her elder brother and sister. Twenty-six years later, both her brother and sister are diagnosed with infertility, leaving only her capable of carrying on the family line. When her parents, brother and sister scramble shamelessly to claim the child’s surname for themselves, she repays them with their own cruel tactics. In the end, she ensures her child takes her husband’s surname and breaks free completely from the chains of her toxic birth family.
