The Unfavored Daughter: A Trial of Love and Justice
"This is the story of Song Ni, who devoted years to caring for her sexist mother Zhao Yumei, only to have her mother collude with her two brothers to embezzle her land compensation money - ultimately leading to a courtroom battle that redefined family obligations. 38-year-old Song Ni is a successful executive at a listed company with a happy family. Seven years ago, against the advice of her husband Xu Lang and daughter Xu Tian, she took in her mother Zhao Yumei after her mother was kicked out by her two favored sons, Song Guodong and Song Guoqiang. Despite Song Ni's dutiful care, her mother remained biased toward her worthless brothers. The final straw came when Song Ni discovered her mother had impersonated her at the bank to transfer ¥200,000 of her land compensation money to her brothers. When Song Ni confronted them, she was met with accusations and slander - even being sued for ""lack of filial piety"" by her own mother. Heartbroken but resolute, Song Ni gathered evidence and took her family to court, demanding not just repayment of the stolen funds but shared responsibility for their mother's care. Presenting years of financial records and caregiving proof, she won her case - the court ordered her brothers to repay the money and share caregiving duties. Meanwhile, Zhao Yumei was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer but found herself neglected by her beloved sons and ultimately placed in a nursing home. On her deathbed, she finally realized how terribly she had wronged her most filial daughter. Through this journey of betrayal and reconciliation, Song Ni rebuilt her relationships with her husband and daughter, letting go of past obsessions to start living for herself. "
