The Duke's Old Lady Is Ruthless and Vicious, Yet Deserves a Place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple

[Elderly Madam reborn + inner-courtyard intrigue + punishing scum + face-slapping + no romance]

Gu Wanshu, the Old Madam of the Duke's Mansion, lived a life of wealth and glory, yet died on the road to exile.

As she lay dying, she recalled her life.

Her eldest son was arrogant and domineering, blind to everyone around him, and so powerful he overshadowed the emperor, incurring the emperor's wrath!

Her eldest daughter-in-law took gifts without restraint and sold official posts for kicks.

Her second son was refined, bright, and gentle, yet became disabled trying to save her!

Her third daughter died young, leaving her granddaughter motherless and bullied!

Her fourth daughter was an imperial consort who bore a princess, but died young in her desperate bid for a son!

Her fifth son was an ungrateful wolf, forever chasing women and letting others reap the rewards!

Her sixth daughter was abused by scoundrels and trapped in a living hell!

The legitimate eldest grandson she'd raised with all her heart was a useless man who doted on his concubine and neglected his wife!

Then Gu Wanshu, who had died on a snowy night, sick with regret, was reborn!

After her rebirth, Gu Wanshu slapped her eldest son whenever he stepped out of line!

She found a famed doctor for her second son and helped him return to court.

She brought her daughters' daughters home and raised them herself!

With a wave of her hand, she fed the vile ones to the fish!

She threw out the ungrateful wolf and gave her grandson's wife control of the household!

She turned everything upside down! Slaps for those who deserved them, sweet rewards for those who did!

Everyone was still waiting for the Duke's Mansion to fall, but Gu Wanshu had already earned a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the family was flourishing!
