[Reborn + family’s bitter regret + no forgiveness + face-slapping wish fulfillment + palace and household power struggles + two strong leads]
In her previous life, at over seventy years old, Yu Wanning was forced by her four children to drink poison. Only then did she learn they weren’t orphans of the battlefield at all. They were the children her husband, Lu Zheng, had fathered with his mistress, a transmigrator, before faking his own death.
She had devoted fifty years to raising them, only to be despised by them at every turn.
When she opened her eyes again, Yu Wanning had returned to the age of thirty. She decided that whoever wanted to raise those ungrateful brats could do it themselves!
Her eldest son had just passed the palace exam and become a top scholar, and was already arrogant enough to betray his mentor and ancestors?
She fanned the flames!
Her second son needed money and favors before going to war?
Go ask whoever gave birth to you!
Her daughter wanted her dowry?
They had eaten her food and used her things for years. If they didn’t know how to be grateful, they could give it all back!
Her third son regretted everything and begged for forgiveness?
Get lost!
Later, her sister-in-law begged her to return to the general’s residence and manage the household accounts. Yu Wanning simply tossed out the ledgers. “Dream on! Whoever wants to fill the holes in the general’s household can do it themselves!”

There is no such thing as a mother with a heart of stone. The four children had always thought their mother would eventually come to her senses and regret leaving the residence.
They waited and waited, only to watch the general’s household collapse.
Their mother never looked back.

The capital was in an uproar when the cold-hearted Regent suddenly changed his ways.
He knelt for hours outside the home of a woman who had remarried.
But no one knew he had waited fifteen years for this moment.
