Synopsis

[Short Drama and Comic Adaptation Now Available] Su, a woman who had spent most of her life working at a roadside inn in Northeast China, had never once imagined becoming anyone's stepmother.

But with her daughter's life hanging by a thread, she was willing to risk everything.

She accepted her in-law's proposal on the spot.

From then on, her daughter's mother became her mother-in-law, her senior fellow apprentice became her husband, and she became the rightful matriarch of the Lin family in Taipei.

When her sister-in-law called her daughter spoiled and affected, then insulted Su as crude and tacky, Su beat her into the hospital that very night and drove her out of the old family home.

This sixty-year-old temptress had a whole string of romantic affairs. As the secrets kept piling up, Su said, “Fine, take her to the police station.”

When the mother fell, the daughter stepped in. When the daughter fell, her own father took her place. And when he fell, there was still an admirer? Fine, take them all to the police station.

The whole family of sisters-in-law took turns challenging her, and every one of them became a loser at her hands. From then on, the Lin family enjoyed clear skies and bright sunshine.

Everyone wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but no one expected the old master to heed her, dote on her, and give in to her at every turn.

She couldn't get used to the kitchen? He had the French kitchen torn out.

She couldn't get used to the food? He had a crock of pickled cabbage flown in for her.

She wanted to visit her old friends back in the village? His private plane stood ready around the clock. She could leave whenever she liked.

She devoted herself to protecting her daughter and her two long-suffering daughters-in-law, always standing against her sisters-in-law and their family.

The moment the women of the family joined forces, the household changed completely.

The Third Young Madam's health improved day by day.

The Second Young Madam grew more resolute by the day.

The Eldest Young Madam, who had long been unable to conceive, gave birth to a son, and the couple wept with joy.

She doted on her daughters-in-law. Her sons could get in line.

Whoever dared mistreat her daughter would get a taste of their own medicine.

Old Master Lin sat with his tea, watching her bustle about, his eyes full of long-planned delight.

Su kicked him. “What are you grinning at? Peel the garlic!”

I said I want a mother-daughter story, so what’s the point if the mother gets killed off? If you recommend things without reading the title, I’ll tear you to shreds.
