Cen Huanxi was struck by lightning while gathering herbs in the mountains. As if that weren’t bad enough, she found herself in a rundown place with bare walls.
And on top of that, she had a comatose husband and several little kids to look after?! She was even their stepmother!
But no one was going to get in the way of her plans to retire, enjoy life, and build a fortune.
No money? Then she’d earn some! No house? Then she’d build one! Someone bullying her? Then she’d seize power!
The eldest son: “Mother, when you’re old, I’ll cook delicious food for you every day!”
Cen Huanxi: “N-no need. I’m worried some of your medicinal powder might accidentally end up in it.”
The second son: “Mother, when you’re old, I’ll build you a garden full of rare and exotic creatures so you can enjoy your retirement!”
Ye Lingmiao: “Could I... stew them?”
The little girl: “Mother...”
Ye Lingmiao panicked. “Good girl, I appreciate the thought!”
A certain man who had fallen out of favor said humbly, “My dear, whatever you want to do, I’ll do as you say!”
