Synopsis

Qin Yun transmigrates into a book, and from the start, her whole family is being stripped of their possessions and exiled? Looking at this roomful of unfilial descendants, Qin Yun thinks the whole family has brought this on themselves. The eldest son's family is corrupt and lawless, and their servants commit acts of violence, bringing disaster upon the household. The second son's family is weak and hidebound, yet they pride themselves on being upright scholars. They presume to criticize the crown prince and despise money. The third son's family is completely under the thumb of his white-lotus wife. They defy all proper order and show no regard for age or rank. The fourth son… The fourth son went missing years ago, and there's been no word of him since. Her legitimate eldest grandson was raised in the lap of luxury and refuses to stand with the family. He'd rather kneel than anything else, and insists on marrying into another household. Her eldest granddaughter was raised to be so fragile and spineless that, after her engagement was broken off, she spends all day weeping and threatening to take her own life. Fine, fine! So this whole family is a hopeless mess? Then this old woman will show you what a good beating can do for an unfilial child. From now on, I'm the head of this family! Before long, the whole capital discovers that the Duke's household, which was supposed to be exiled, hasn't left the city at all. Instead, howls can be heard from their home every day! The unfilial descendants are covered in bruises every day, while the old lady looks rosy-cheeked and full of vigor. From then on, Old Madam Qin's fearsome reputation spreads throughout the capital, and everyone is afraid just hearing her name. But the emperor isn't afraid. Instead, he praises her, saying she has even more of a loving mother's air than she did when she was young. Why, she even won the family title back for them again.

The author's writing is very good, and the plot is compact and not procrastinating. The emotional lines of the characters are laid out in a reasonable and non-obtrusive way, and the pattern is large. It contains feelings about family and country, as well as family responsibilities and missions. The characters are all filled with souls.

It's not a cliché time travel story. You dress up as an old lady in the Duke's mansion and transform your children and grandchildren. I read 100,000 words in one go. It's so interesting! I also really like the old lady dressed as the heroine. Every time my children and grandchildren pull the cart, I am so amused~~It's so pretty! ! !

There are many good books about combat scenes, but it is rare to find one that can describe the battle of wits and process in a reasonable way without any obvious loopholes. Each character is doing something that suits their own personality, and everyone's IQ is online.

After reading Chapter 69, I was really moved, angry, and heartbroken... I experienced it over and over again. It's really good to watch, but the third daughter-in-law, Su, is really annoying. It looks really good in the front, but it really stretches my hips in the back.

It's very good, I really like it, especially the role of the emperor, the third son and his wife really want people to rush up and give him a slap in the face.

So pretty. The story is not cliché, nor does it try to please others, nor does it shout slogans or sell feelings. The setting is both stylized and realistic, the plot design is very in line with human nature, the logic is dense and compact, the characters are vivid and exciting, the chapters are laid out in an orderly manner, and the story unfolds step by step like a scroll. It is very grand and full of tension. Very picturesque,

I saw the update in one go and saw basically similar identity settings. The only shortcoming I think may be that the characters are a bit flat for the time being. But in comparison, the personality characteristics are quite distinct. The plot and logic are smooth and there is no big problem. The memory kill is quite touching. I am looking forward to the follow-up plot.

The writing is quite exciting. The heroine leads the family to strive for the same goal in a super forward-looking manner. The character traits of each character in the family are described in detail. The three cubs are simply typical unworthy children. Everyone is a coward, all because of the merits of their parents' hard work.

The subject matter is novel, the heroine is strategizing, and has advanced wisdom. It is not just a simple fight and killing.

It looks good, but I don't know why the queen is so hostile to the old lady. The writing is very good, recommended
