That’s a two hour movie condensed into one sentence.
Or 22 episodes of a soap opera
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.
Hey, cool baby, wanna trade?
The families seriously need to auction off the movie rights, they’ve got it made now.
For those who want to read more about it, I did the work and found the article.

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.
Mark my words, a movie will be made about this one day.
This has Hallmark all over it
Nah, it’s not formulaic enough.
how if went missing because of traffickers, but was adopted at the roadside??
Road traffic works in mysterious ways.
It’s called a fucking zipper and the only time Americans plan for the future is when they find out their lane is ending so they merge as early as possible like savages.
You should merge as late as possible?
That’s how zipper merge works

A trafficking reject 😢
Wonder if they wanted a son.
dayum the mother must be having the best day of her life - finds long-lost daughter and now she has two children who got married on the same day!
Better yet, she only had to pay for one wedding!
Yeah but that was supposed to be their day.
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)”.
Incest Reverse Card
I like this version. No clickbait.
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.
Hey step bro
Now this is a man that knows how to marry his sister.
Roll Tai
Roll Thai?
A slightly humorous play on ‘Roll Tide’, which is what someone sarcastically comments when someone fucks their family members/incest.
Classic Garret
Some family trees look like oak trees, others douglas firs.
…because the groom had been adopted
Disappointing
What are you doing, step brother?
From the bride’s parents probs
Banjo music starts, then stops
stepbrother what are you doiiing?
If they ever get divorced, family dinner night is gonna be real awkward.
Her: can you pass the potatoes?
Him: Oh! You taking the potatoes as well as the house huh?!
That headline was a rollercoaster.
No exaggeration I need nap after reading that.
“Wait, I’m… adopted?”
Well I guess that’s an uplifting story, being reunited with a long lost daughter and your adopted son is happy!
MailOnline = We’re just making shit up now
Banjo music intensifies
