[Feel-good power fantasy + no golden finger + rebirth in an earlier era + ensemble cast]
Old Mrs. Lin spent her life raising three sons and two daughters, helping them build families and establish themselves, then raising her grandchildren, only to end up alone in her old age. She thinks of her most considerate daughter, who divorced after her own neglect and favoritism allowed a mistress to come between her and her husband. Her youngest son, who had known how to make her happy since childhood, was forced into a river by a gang of thugs as soon as he came of age and drowned. Her favorite grandson never even showed up before she died, while the eldest grandson she had never liked was the one who saw her off.
During the twenty years she lived alone, she thought countless times of her late youngest son and her estranged eldest daughter, weeping until dawn. Regret and remorse stayed with her until the day she died at eighty-eight.
She is reborn on the day her youngest son dies. Using the memories of her previous life, she finds the thugs she had hated all her life and changes the fate that had cut her son’s life short.
When the mistress appears, she saves her eldest daughter’s marriage.
She spots her husband’s illness in time, sparing him the cancer pain that had tormented him to death in her previous life.
Rebirth teaches her to love herself and stop putting her children and grandchildren first.
