The moment she opens her eyes, she’s back on the eve of being driven to her death by her unfilial children, all working together!
In her past life, Lin Xiufen gave everything she had to raise her three children. In return, her birthday banquet became her funeral: her children coldly watched as creditors pounded on the door, while her husband stood by in cowardly silence. One rope ended her life, and her boundless hatred soared to the heavens!
When she opens her eyes again, she’s back in 1980! At this pivotal moment in her fate, her eldest daughter is tearing up the night-school admission letter Lin Xiufen worked so hard to earn, intending to trade it for a bride price!
“Mom, you should just accept your fate!” her daughter sneers, each word like a knife.
Accept her fate? A cold glint flashes in Lin Xiufen’s eyes! This time, she will not repeat her past mistakes! The shackles of family ties? She’ll kick them off! Children who drain her dry? She’ll tear them apart!
Her first battle after being reborn: expose their hypocrisy in public! Take back her admission letter, and even leave with nothing if that’s what it takes to break free!
Starting in a cramped attic in a communal apartment building, she launches a spicy hot pot stall that fills the night market with its irresistible aroma, seizing the opportunities of the times. Garment factories, restaurant chains, real estate, the stock market... Every step puts her on the crest of a wave of wealth!
But her ungrateful children refuse to leave her alone:
Will her eldest daughter beg for money, claiming she’s owed years of “child support”? Will her second son show up with thugs to force his way inside and rob her? Will her youngest daughter play the victim to win people’s sympathy?
Will they report her for profiteering? Steal her business secrets? Conspire with her rivals to destroy her?
Lin Xiufen sneers: “Just what I’ve been waiting for!”
The law comes down hard! Public opinion turns against them! Financial power crushes them! She turns their own tactics against them!
They’ll end up behind bars? Their reputations in ruins? Buried under massive compensation claims? Left with nowhere to turn?
“If you dare drain my blood, be ready to be torn apart!”
From a housewife everyone looked down on to a business tycoon who commands the world.
There is no forgiveness in her dictionary, only revenge and conquest!
