Chen Jinxiu transmigrates into the body of a concubine from a merchant family’s collateral branch. From the start, her husband is dead, the family fortune is gone, the legal wife has run off, and the clan members have come to seize what’s left.
In short: hell mode.
No matter. She takes her five-year-old stepson and flees in the middle of the night, then buys a dilapidated courtyard in Nanshan Village.
At first, the neighbors think: A widow raising a child, how pitiful.
Then they discover:
She kneads dough with one hand while lifting a stone mill,
She punches through a crumbling wall and digs out treasure,
She plows the fields alone faster than an ox.
Neighbors: ???
