        It’s actually kinda the premise of this old Chinese drama from like the 90s. It’s called the Plum Blossom Birthmark. This woman gives birth to a girl but decides to give her up because the show takes place in old times and she felt her position was threatened because her husband had taken on a concubine so she decides to swap out her baby girl for a boy. She brands the girl with a plum blossom mark on her back so that she can maybe find her later. Years later the little girl and boy grow up and fall in love.

    For those who want to read more about it, I did the work and found the article.

    https://news.yahoo.com/woman-discovers-her-sons-bride-182017135.html

    A woman in eastern China had the shock of her life when she found out that her son was marrying her long-lost daughter. The reunion occurred right at the would-be spouses’ wedding in Suzhou, Jiangsu province on March 31, according to Sohu News. The shocking discovery was made after the woman noticed a birthmark on the bride’s hand, which looked strikingly similar to that of her long-lost child. Determined to uncover the truth, the woman mustered the courage to ask the bride’s parents whether she was adopted. After explaining her story and the identical birthmark, the bride’s parents eventually confirmed that their child had been adopted. Details were quickly ironed out and the bride confirmed that she was, indeed, the woman’s long-lost biological daughter. It turns out she went missing as a child and was picked up by her adoptive parents on the roadside some 20 years ago. The wedding could have been called off at this point, but the woman also revealed that her son — her now-daughter’s groom — was also adopted. The wedding proceeded as planned, but the shocking twist is one detour their guests will never forget. In photos that went viral on Chinese social media, the bride can be seen breaking down and hugging her long-lost mother tightly. It’s unknown how exactly the daughter went missing, but some are raising the possibility of human traffickers being the culprit. It’s also unclear whether the woman’s adopted son — now her son-in-law — will be searching for his own parents.

    In a normal paper like I used to buy on the way to work, this headline would be something like “bloodties the knot” or “trouble in paradise” or something. We’ve strayed from the light.

      I’m waiting for the headlines on a story like this to devolve to the point that it’s like “MILF gives her adopted son permission in public to fuck her daughter (click for pics)”.

        I respect that, but I remember a story in my local paper years ago about the burger van that was selling porn, and the headline was “burger van sells porn with relish”. I want that world back.

          A slightly humorous play on ‘Roll Tide’, which is what someone sarcastically comments when someone fucks their family members/incest.

          …this is literally just a definition, which is what was requested, you’re welcome. 🤨🙄
