[Ancient-to-Modern Transmigration + Face-Slapping + Matriarch + Taming Men]
A heads-up: the heroine has had previous relationships, while the male lead is inexperienced. Read with caution if that bothers you.
Shen Shu was born into a distinguished family and spent most of her life as the most celebrated matriarch of a marquis’s household in the capital.
After a peaceful death in old age, with her children and grandchildren wailing over her, she transmigrated to the modern world the very next moment, becoming the most pathetic punching bag in a wealthy family.
Her husband held his first love in his arms and called her shameless. The servants pointed at her and said she was an embarrassment. Her twin children were colder to her than they would be to strangers.
The original owner could no longer bear the humiliation. She pulled a plastic bag over her head, and with one last gasp, ended it all.
Shen Shu sneered. “You think you’re good enough to bully someone?”
In her previous life, she had ruled the marquis’s household for forty years. Even the emperor had to call her Auntie.
This modern wealthy family was nothing but a bunch of nouveau riche with no manners.
She disciplined the servants with a mix of kindness and firmness;
She reasoned with the unruly children;
And she kept her husband in line through negotiation.
In just three months, the entire Fu family was behaving themselves.
For the first time in ten years, this cold, wealthy household began to feel like a home.
But Shen Shu simply dusted herself off and left gracefully after divorcing him and dividing the assets.
Her ex-husband stood in the doorway, eyes red. “We were married for five years. Don’t you feel even a little reluctant to leave?”
Shen Shu’s red lips curved slightly as she uttered two words: “Not at all.”
The next moment, an arm tightened around her waist. A long, slender hand reached from behind and drew her securely into its owner’s arms.
The man’s chest was warm. His breath brushed her ear, his voice lazy and suggestive.
“I heard you’re single now. Does that mean I don’t have to wait tonight?”
