**[Exile] + [Looting] + [Toxic In-Laws] + [Pocket Dimension] + [Ruthless] + [Protective Mother] + [Looting the Family Wealth] + [Farming] + [Face-Slapping] + [Turning the Tables]**
Song Wanxin, a master of both botany and pocket dimensions, is suddenly reborn in the womb and becomes the much-bullied young second wife of the century-old wealthy Li family. The first thing she sees after opening her eyes: her vicious mother-in-law and sister-in-law have joined forces to offer her beloved son, who isn't even four yet, to the county magistrate as a "spirit guide child" in a rain-praying ritual!
Her in-laws coldly force her to kneel and kowtow in thanks for this "heaven-sent blessing." Her sister-in-law, Li Rucui, tears at her clothes and insults her to her face, while her husband, Li Qianjun, stands by, blindly obeying his mother. Song Wanxin's almond eyes turn icy. She flicks a Thousand-Leaf Flying Needle at her sister-in-law's throat, then hurls three homemade botanical poison bombs. All seventeen members of the Li household, from the old patriarch to the maids, end up sprawled across the floor with weak legs and foam at their mouths. Even the guard dog avoids them, as if they stink.
What a coincidence! Tomorrow, an official decree will arrive, sentencing the entire Li family to exile in the desolate, bitterly cold northwest! That night, Song Wanxin slips into the Li family's century-old secret vault: ten tons of pure gold, cabinets full of red jade treasures, warehouses of grain, rice, and silk... In the blink of an eye, it all vanishes into her foldable medicine warehouse. At dawn, the Li family wails over their empty vault, but all they can do is set out on the road to exile in rags.
From then on, the Li family gnaws on sand and leaves, starving and freezing, while Song Wanxin cuddles her soft, rosy-cheeked little one and feasts on braised duck, sweet cakes, and savory soup in her homemade carriage. Anyone who dares reach for them gets knocked flying.
Who says exile is a dead end? She'll grow a splendid new world right here in the wilderness.
The characters are good, and the storyline is well written in these chapters. In this society that eats people without spitting out their bones, women and children can be chewed up at any time. I hope the heroine will be more powerful!
