(Her mother-in-law pounds on the door): "Su Ruan! You good-for-nothing spendthrift, get out here!"
(The door opens. Su Ruan leans against it, smiling): "Well, Mother-in-law, fancy trying out the Seventy-Two Transformations again? What shall I turn you into today? How about a tortoise? It suits your personality."
(Her mother-in-law stumbles back three steps): "Y-you just wait! I'll get Zhan Ye to divorce you!"
(Inside, Lu Zhan Ye doesn't even look up): "Mom, I'm afraid of my wife. You'll have to handle this yourself."
(Su Ruan turns around, a golden glint flashing at her fingertips): "Honey, we're having roast duck tonight~"
(Her mother-in-law shrieks): "Quack? Quack, quack, quack!"
Being reborn in the 1980s isn't scary. What's scary is having a wife with a cheat ability.
What's so special about turning stones into gold? I can turn people into tortoises, too. I'll make a fortune on the fertile black soil, and put those top-grade troublemakers in their place along the way. As for that soldier who keeps trying to catch me slipping...
(Lu Zhan Ye pins her in a corner, chuckling softly): "Confess and you'll be treated leniently. What other 'little secrets' do you have, hmm?"
(Su Ruan blinks): "Like... making you call me 'ancestor'?"
This life sure is thrilling.
