After the Marquis's Wife Gave Up, Her Three Rebellious Children Begged for Forgiveness

[Transmigrate into a book + a cast of villains + unconventional + strong female lead + satisfying read + political intrigue]

The moment Lin Shuangqing opens her eyes, she finds herself a widowed, wicked matriarch in an ancient marquis's household.

She has three children, and every one of them is hoping she'll die so they can divide up her meager dowry.

It's a battlefield from the start: her lovestruck daughter kneels and begs to marry a murderer's son, her eldest son takes advantage of her generosity and plans to drive his wife to her death for the sake of his concubine, and her sinister second son is sharpening his knife behind her back, itching to kill her.

According to the original story, these three ungrateful wretches will cause her to die a gruesome death in the wilderness on the way to the ancestral rites.

Lin Shuangqing gives a cold laugh. A loving mother spoils her children? Then I'll cripple the lot of them and raise new ones!

To her daughter, who threatens to kill herself, she tosses over a severance agreement. "You want to marry him? Fine! Leave with nothing and go dig for wild greens!"

To her eldest son, who favors his concubine over his wife, she takes away his household authority. "You want to live off a woman? Hand over every last bit of your private money, then I'll send you to jail to come to your senses!"

To her ruthless second son, she tears up the ancestral rules and helps the illegitimate son who's been struggling in the mire take his place. "From today on, whoever is capable gets the job!"
