A fifty-year-old housewife got hooked on short dramas and envied the divorced cleaner with a child who was adored by a domineering CEO.
On impulse, she really did get divorced and take a job as a cleaner. Before she could meet a CEO, she died.
When she opened her eyes again, her soul had traveled into a courtyard house in 1961, where she had become Qin Huairu, a woman who had just lost her husband!
She was faced with a miserly, parasitic mother-in-law, neighbors in the courtyard with their own schemes, an incorrigible Banggeng, and two pitiful daughters.
The old Qin Huairu had swallowed her anger and let others manipulate her for a lifetime.
But with a new soul inside her, she would never repeat the same mistakes!
Moral blackmail? She'd fire right back.
Try to scheme against her family? Not a chance.
Drawing on half a lifetime of worldly experience, she'd take on the courtyard's nastiest residents and protect her daughters.
In a difficult era of scarce supplies, she'd live a completely different life.
It's okay, come on!
