[Period setting + 1980s + mind-reading + face-slapping + ensemble cast + family life]
Yu Xi was reborn.
She returned to the first month after her husband, the real son of a capitalist family whom she had been reunited with nearly five years earlier, went back to the city.
In her previous life, she devoted herself to supporting her husband’s family, working herself to the bone for work points and to keep them fed, only to earn a reputation as a wicked woman.
She never enjoyed a single day of comfort. Overworked and malnourished, she died.
Given another chance, Yu Xi had no intention of repeating her mistakes.
She also stumbled upon a strange ability: after being reborn, she could see the thoughts buried in people’s hearts above their heads.
Her haughty sister-in-law:
[It’s so nice having a free maid to boss around.]
Her unreliable brother-in-law:
[Why don’t those two country bumpkins just drop dead? They actually insisted on coming back to the city with us.]
Her fussy mother-in-law:
[When my third son gets back, I’ll make him divorce that wicked woman.]
Her sister-in-law, friendly in appearance but hostile underneath:
[Idiot. What makes you think you’re good enough to be my sister-in-law?]
Yu Xi gave a cold laugh and immediately proved through her actions that she really was a wicked woman.
She wouldn’t lift a finger to do the work, wouldn’t put up with being shortchanged, and would settle every account down to the last cent.
As for her husband, who had been silent and shown no affection throughout their years of marriage, Yu Xi would treat him as a tool for making money, for now.
Every time they shared an intimate moment, Lin Zhengnan looked perfectly serious on the outside, while his thoughts ran wild:
[I love my wife so much. She smells so good.]
[My wife made the first move today. She must love me just as much.]
