Synopsis

Su, an old woman who had spent most of her life working at a roadside inn in Northeast China, had never imagined becoming anyone's stepmother. But with her daughter's life hanging by a thread, she was willing to do anything. So she readily accepted her in-law's proposal. From then on, her daughter's mother became her mother-in-law, her senior fellow disciple became her husband, and she became the rightful matriarch of the Lin family in Taipei. When her sisters-in-law called her daughter spoiled and put on airs, and insulted Su as crude and tacky, she beat them so badly that they ended up in the hospital, then threw them out of the old family home. This sixty-year-old enchantress had a long list of lovers and scandals. As the truth kept coming out, she simply sent them off to the police station. If the old woman went down, her daughter took over. If her daughter went down, her own father stepped in. And if he went down, there were still admirers? Fine, send them all to the police station. The sisters-in-law and their family kept coming at her one after another, but every one of them became her defeated opponent. From then on, the Lin family enjoyed clear skies and peaceful days. Everyone wanted to see her make a fool of herself. No one expected the old master to listen to her, dote on her, and indulge her at every turn. She couldn't get used to the food, so he had the French kitchen torn out. She couldn't get used to the meals, so he had a crock of pickled cabbage flown in for her. She wanted to visit her old friends in the village, so he kept a private jet on standby around the clock. She could leave whenever she pleased. She devoted herself to protecting her daughter and her two long-suffering daughters-in-law, constantly clashing with the sisters-in-law and their family. From the moment the women united, the whole household changed. The third young madam's health improved day by day. The second young madam grew more confident and assertive by the day. The eldest young madam, who had long been unable to conceive, gave birth to a son. The couple wept with joy. She dotes on her daughters-in-law. Her sons can wait their turn. Anyone who dares mistreat her daughter will get the same treatment from her. Old Master Lin watched her bustle about over his tea, his eyes full of long-planned delight. Su kicked him. “What are you grinning at? Peel the garlic!” [The story takes on supernatural elements in the middle and later parts. Enter with caution if that's not your thing.]
