At the age of eighty, master physician Su Wanyi dies with regrets. When she wakes, she is back in a drafty earthen house in 1977, once again a fifty-five-year-old country woman.
In her previous life, her son Su Guodong abandoned his hardworking wife, Lin Wan. Her frail granddaughter, Baoya, died quietly for lack of money for treatment, and the whole family fell apart.
In this life, she clenches her fists. It doesn't matter if her son is a good-for-nothing. She will not let go of her devoted daughter-in-law or her precious granddaughter! With a silver needle, she first saves her granddaughter, who is barely clinging to life, then marches with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter straight into the military compound. A divorce?
She'll help her daughter-in-law file for it herself!
That scheming white lotus wants to take her place?
Let's see if the needles in her hand agree.
From the countryside to the capital, the old woman saves lives and slaps faces at every turn, managing to turn her shattered family into a respectable household everyone envies.
