Name: After Starving to Death in the Garage, the Old Woman Is Reborn in the 1980s to Beat Her Son
Author: Ascetic Buddha

Synopsis

[Reborn in the 1980s + no golden finger + family life + building wealth + realistic wish fulfillment + beating sons and scolding daughters]

Granny Su starved to death in a garage on March 16, 2025.

She had worked herself to the bone her entire life, honored her parents-in-law, raised two sons and a daughter, and helped bring up her grandchildren. Yet after she became paralyzed, her own children abandoned her, leaving her to starve to death.

When she opened her eyes, she had been reborn in the 1980s. Her children were still young and depended on her to provide for them. This time, she decided to raise her children frugally and lavish care on herself.

If her biased parents-in-law expected her to wait on them hand and foot, and her brothers- and sisters-in-law tried to fleece and cheat her, then she would get a divorce and leave her husband with nothing. She would no longer let them drain her dry.

As soon as she left the civil affairs office, someone confessed their love for her, infuriating her parents-in-law and leaving her ex-husband frantic.

Her life seemed to take off as if she had a cheat code: catching thieves, human traffickers, and spies.

Buying storefronts, starting businesses, buying houses...

And one eligible man after another pursuing her.

*

The more Su Chunlan loves herself, the more her ex-husband and children love her.

Her eldest son gives up his selfish ways and becomes considerate and filial.

Her second son is no longer a “slacker” and rushes to take on any work.

Her youngest daughter says she wants to stay by her side forever...

The old woman bedridden in the home cries to everyone she meets, regretting how badly she treated her third daughter-in-law and that she let them divorce.

What a mistake!

-

One dark, windy night.

Someone holds her and asks, “Honey, when are you going to marry me again?”

Su Chunlan blushes. “You’re worth tens of millions now. What kind of woman couldn’t you marry?”

Any Stories About Someone Transmigrating as an Old Lady Who Doesn’t Date? No CP, No CP.

I read stories about transmigrating into an old lady because I want to see someone finally break free of the misery of being oppressed in the name of filial piety. No romance for the protagonist: let her focus on farming or building a career. Could we please stop having people transmigrate into old ladies with sons and grandchildren, only to use all kinds of miraculous pills after transmigrating and then fall in love?
