The 1960s: I Hear Your Mom Is a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Demon?

[Period setting + rural life + everyday family drama + punishing scoundrels + raising children + light fantasy + entrepreneurship + strong heroine]

In the ancient demon realm, the foremost Nine-Tailed Demon Venerable falls in the war between gods and demons. By accident, her soul is sucked into a book of drawings she always carried with her.

She becomes a pitiful widow in 1960.

As soon as she arrives, she faces the heart-wrenching sight of her daughter being sold for food. She waves a hand and saves the girl. She decides what happens to her child, and no one else gets a say.

Faced with a family of ravenous wolves and tigers, the Demon Venerable declares that enduring something for a while doesn’t mean she’ll endure it forever.

Her monstrous in-laws want to squeeze every last scrap of food from her and her child? She turns their every weakness against them and wins at every step.

Her sisters-in-law scheme against her and make things difficult, snatching her work points to drive her away? She crushes them without making a fuss and lets them suffer the consequences.

The lucky little heroine wants to compete with her? Fine. The supplies you’ve been secretly stockpiling, I’ll gladly accept them all as your elder.

Though the Demon Venerable seems cold, she has a soft heart. When the villagers are starving and the whole village has no water, she brings rain after a long drought with a little trick and a sprinkle of water.

When she sees the village bully abusing women, she secretly casts a spell to save them.

Life grows better by the day, but then her husband, missing for ten years, comes home...

She was supposed to be a widow, wasn’t she? She doesn’t want a man.
