The Reborn Old Lady Only Wanted to Buy a House and Pay Social Security, but Got Rich Instead

[Period Drama + Rebirth + Stepmother + Family and Neighborhood Life + Neighbors Helping One Another + Everyday People, Ensemble Cast + Business Without a Golden Finger + Not a Power Fantasy]

In her previous life, Wang Sumei got pregnant before marriage and was abandoned by her lover, a sent-down youth. She wanted to terminate the pregnancy and marry someone else, but her birth parents wanted her to have a son to carry on the Wang family line, so they married her off to a widower in the village.

After giving birth to a son, he was sent back to her parents’ home to carry on the family line, and all contact was cut off. Meanwhile, her husband’s family emotionally abused her for the rest of her life, treating her like an ox or horse and expecting her to work without complaint.

But it was only when she was old, sick, and unable to get even a hot meal that she saw the true colors of her husband and stepson.

Given another life, she decides to steer clear of her ungrateful in-laws, get a divorce without hesitation, and find a job. She’ll work hard to make money, pay plenty into her pension, take out a loan to buy a home, and eventually add a car. Then she’ll lie flat and refuse to live like a workhorse.

But, but, but... She only casually offered a few pointers to some young people. How did every one of them become a big shot? Fine, they made it big because they’re talented, but why are they sharing their profits with an old woman like her?

And the run-down apartment and haunted house she bought... they all got “demolished”... Hahaha!

Wang Sumei hugs her rapidly growing wallet and cries tears of joy. How did she end up living the glamorous life she could only dream of in her previous life?

A word of warning: The protagonist is reborn in middle age and focuses on making money and building a career. If you want to read about someone returning to her teenage years to crush everyone and romance a hunk, this one isn’t for you.
