“More vicious family revenge than All Is Well, wilder capital battles than Like a Flowing River! See how a reborn old woman fights her way through the planned economy and the depths of human nature!”
Eighty-year-old widow Chen Fengzhi is driven to jump into a river by her unfilial children. She is reborn in 1975, on the eve of a famine, only to discover that she is caught up in a shocking scam: she is Xu Wuqiang, an undercover agent from the Xu family wearing the stolen identity of the real Chen Fengzhi! To atone for the sins of her past life, she transforms into a sharp-tongued old woman. With one hand, she tears away the false mask of filial piety worn by her parasitic children; with the other, she stirs the undercurrents of capital in a turbulent era.
