[Clear-headed, independent, strong heroine × Street-smart drifter who plays the pig to eat the tiger] [Period setting + System + Feel-good story + Heroine makes money and gets the whole family hustling + Male lead transmigrates + Everyday family life] After thirty years of marriage to Xue Yutao, Huo Junxia never imagined that the man would double-cross her just as they were getting divorced, costing her her life. In her previous life, her mother brainwashed her into mistaking wolves for family. They exploited her until she had nothing left, and she spent her whole life as their personal ATM. Reborn, Huo Junxia decides to let the cheating pair have each other and cut ties with her mother for good. She'll make them cough up every cent of her compensation and living allowance! Huo Junxia helps her brother build a business, working herself to the bone as their enterprise keeps growing. Her jealous mother and stepfather show up with the whole family in tow, determined to cling to her. She'd rather throw a punch than waste words. One strike shatters a massive stone in the courtyard, scaring them into running for their lives. Street-smart drifter Ji Yanhuai cradles her hand and blows on it. “Don't hit them next time. I'll do it!” He pulls out a little notebook and starts calculating the bill. “This Taihu stone gets a family discount. Let's call it two thousand. “The courtyard needs cleaning, and there's garbage to haul away. That's another two hundred. “Right, I'm off to collect what the Liu family owes us!” Liu Xiaojuan is reborn too. This time, she's going to marry the man of her dreams, Brother Tao. When Huo Junxia cuts ties with her family, Liu Xiaojuan is greatly relieved. This time, she'll become the wife of a publicly listed company's chairman and enjoy billions in wealth. But she waits and waits, has two children, and then, to her shock, Brother Tao goes abroad on a business tour with his work unit and never comes back, leaving her with a mountain of debt... Decades later, she happens to see her glamorous older sister on television. Where did it all go wrong?
