Best Friends Transmigrate into Old Women in the 1970s: Gossip, Fight Scum, and Find Powerful Allies

[No golden finger + a touch of ensemble cast + everyday family life + gossip + no romance + best friends transmigrate into a book together]

Young Yu Jinsong spent several years honing her skills at the grassroots level. Just after earning a promotion, she transmigrates into the role of a terrible old woman in a period novel.

The old woman can throw herself on the ground and cause a scene at the village office, making the village chief so angry his mustache bristles. She can also take on a hundred people at once, holding off countless villagers with nothing but her spittle. Everyone who sees her has to go out of their way to avoid her.

Worst of all, she plays favorites to an extreme.

Because she resents her eldest son for having only one daughter, she makes life miserable for his family of three while secretly giving money to her younger son, causing her eldest granddaughter to die for no reason.

Then a woman who transmigrated into the book inhabits the granddaughter’s body and, with her golden finger, thrives and joins the male lead on the road to the top. Meanwhile, the old woman suffers a stroke and becomes paralyzed. Her ungrateful children leave her to waste away in bed until she dies a miserable death.

Yu Jinsong forces a smile and resolves to rewrite her tragic fate.

At home, she cuts ties with the ungrateful family and works to win over her eldest granddaughter, becoming the kind grandmother in the girl’s eyes. Outside, she does her best to maintain the original’s feisty persona, telling anyone younger than her, “I used to hold you when you were little!”

One day, as she passes the home of the Xie family, she hears the familiar curses of the formidable Mrs. Xie.

Well, well. Who else could swear that foully but her dear bestie?

Their eyes meet. They exchange a secret signal and vow to build a successful venture together in this era.

But the plot is simply too powerful, and the lucky female lead still arrives with her golden finger.

Plagued by bad luck, Yu Jinsong flops down like a fish out of water. “I’m done. We work ourselves to the bone, but still earn less than she does by bending down to pick up money!”

Xie Yunting flops down beside her. “Then you cling to her, and I’ll cling to you!”

Yu Jinsong: “Deal!”
