Transmigrating into a 1990s novel + putting an unruly son in his place + feel-good story + ensemble cast + family life
Ding Lan transmigrated into the body of an old woman named Ding in a novel set in a bygone era. Transmigrating was bad luck enough, but landing in an old woman’s body left her with no one to complain to.
Since she was already here, what else could she do? When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Ding Lan’s guiding principle was to wear others down rather than stew in frustration herself. If her son was unfilial, she just had to beat him into shape. A sapling needs pruning to grow straight, and uncut jade must be polished. Since her eldest son never knew when to stop taking advantage, she would make sure to teach the selfish man a proper lesson.
As for a daughter-in-law who made life miserable, whoever wanted to marry her was welcome to. There was no way she’d let anyone into her home to wreck her family.
She could do without a son, let alone a daughter-in-law!
As for the children she could manage, she didn’t mind helping them make their way in the world.
In her previous life, her daughter had been driven to take her own life because of her eldest son and daughter-in-law. This time, Ding Lan would protect her at all costs.
Watch as Old Lady Ding makes her way through the 1990s, rising with the sun and thriving in every way.
Finally found a historical fiction novel without any cheat codes, spatial abilities, systems, or power-ups! I'm so tired of those with cheat codes; I just want a story where the protagonist relies on their own abilities. The female lead is amazing; she single-handedly makes her family's life prosperous.
I think it's quite good, fast-paced, with relatively novel content, and the face-slapping scenes are pretty good. It would have been even better if the villains had suffered a more dramatic fall. I personally felt like I could have watched it all in one go.
It's alright, but my eldest son is always quite annoying, and I haven't been able to get him under control.
It has a strong sense of everyday life, is concise, and captivating.
Those who enjoy watching gossip should check it out. It's fast-paced and quite lively. Good job, keep it up! 💪💪
I don't know why the rating is low. But I think it looks great and I like it very much.
It's a good story; it doesn't whitewash the ungrateful son. The daughter-in-law doesn't have a good ending, and neither does the son. It also rewrites the daughter's fate from her past life.
I've recently become obsessed with rebirth stories; I love watching the female protagonist dominate the battlefield.
The writing style is great, but the rating is too low. It's probably because many readers are too lazy to write, haha. You can tell it's a good book just by reading the beginning!
I'm going to sleep now.
