When she opens her eyes, she's become the most hated wicked stepmother in the whole village!
Wang Jingyi, a 38-year-old medical PhD and food blogger, dies in a car accident and is reborn in 1975 as a 23-year-old educated youth with the same name. She has just married, and is already infamous as a wicked stepmother who supposedly caused her elderly husband’s death, squandered the family fortune, and even wants to sell her stepson!
Facing hostility from the eldest son, fear from her twin stepsons, and curses from the villagers, Wang Jingyi looks at the dilapidated house with nothing in it and rolls up her sleeves. “All I have to do is clear my name, raise the kids, and make a fortune? I know how to do that!”
With her medical skills: when the villagers have aches and fevers, she treats them with acupuncture in one hand and medicinal cuisine in the other!
With her cooking: even coarse grains and wild vegetables become delicious. One dish of “immortal tofu” at the village banquet leaves everyone stunned!
With farming: after discovering precious medicinal herb seeds left behind by her father-in-law, she takes the three kids to clear wasteland and grow medicinal plants, quietly making a fortune!
But...
- Eldest son Li Jianguo: “My stepmother suddenly being nice? There’s got to be a catch!”
- Twins Li Xiangdong and Li Xiangxi: “Stepmom’s cooking is so delicious... but what if she poisoned it?”
- Brigade Secretary Zhao Dashan: “How is this woman getting more successful by the day? I have to bring her down!”
- Agricultural Sciences Academy expert Chen Yuan: “Comrade Wang, I’m very interested in your planting techniques... (Actually, I’m more interested in you.)”
