Tong Huaqiong transmigrated to ancient times into the body of the malicious widow Tong Dajiao and witnessed the execution scene where the malicious widow and her children were wiped out. She returned to the year Tong Dajiao had just become a widow.

At the age of forty, she was already a grandmother, embodying the roles of both a wicked stepmother and mother-in-law. Naturally, the children she raised were bad bamboo shoots.

The only slight comfort she felt was that, as a widow, she didn't have to serve an old husband.

In this transmigration story, she lacked all the golden fingers like systems or noble birth.

She didn't even have the chance to rise through marriage. Who could a widow marry? Especially with a bunch of burdens.

She could only rely on herself and her bunch of bad bamboos at home.

Revitalize the family reputation, correct the children's behavior.

Treat stepchildren, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters kindly, dismiss the plan of her youngest son to sell his granddaughter to a wealthy family in exchange for tuition fees, force the youngest son to strive through education on his own, use a stick to awaken the second son from being lazy and spoiled to becoming the family's backbone, and rid the youngest daughter of laziness, greed, and love-brain.

Reclaim wasteland and plant crops using modern scientific knowledge, turning saline-alkali land into fertile fields, leading the whole family towards a moderately prosperous life; start a business from street vending, selling steamed buns, pastries, marinated dishes, raising pigs, beekeeping... gradually expanding their commercial territory.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua spread the reputation of Taohua Dessert at the birthday celebration of Mrs. Huang Yuanwai, making the entire family very happy.


Besides Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua, the happiest person was Chen Sufen.


Mother-in-law promised her that once Mrs. Huang Yuanwai's birthday was over, she could take Gu Dahuan and Man Er back to her mother's home.


Chen Sufen walked briskly while making dinner and wouldn't even let Liu Yueer help, as she felt her sister-in-law should rest after a busy day out looking for shops.


Gu Jingzhe took the initiative to help in the kitchen with his sister-in-law, which gave Gu Dahuan a newfound appreciation for Gu Jingzhe.


Previously, Gu Jingzhe would wait to be served, but now he knew to take on family responsibilities.


Tong Huaqiong took out all sorts of meats given by Huang Yuanwai and served them on the table.
