A comatose father, a wicked mother, and a group of sickly little wretches.
Exiled to the northern frontier, right in the middle of a famine.
The seven children of the Pei family are sick, dead, or mad. Not one of them has grown up properly.
Jin Wanwan transmigrates into a book and inherits this complete disaster, becoming the wicked stepmother ranked first on the villains' kill list.
With no other options, she decides to give up and do as little as possible.
One good nap gives her a golden finger. With a pocket dimension at her disposal, she feels she can take on the world. Strong as an ox, Jin Wanwan begins raising the kids.
She can beat the boys and thrash the girls.
Turns out, as long as you don't go soft, there's no kid a good smack upside the head can't straighten out.
And if one isn't enough, then try a billion!
A tree won't grow straight unless you prune it. Jin Wanwan finally manages to hammer the children onto the right path, only for their father to wake up and return from an outing with a whole Louis XVI package deal, complete with execution for the entire clan!
Enough is enough!
An uncle might put up with it, but an aunt won't!
With a mad father, a strong-as-an-ox mother, and seven little gourd monsters who can't muster a shred of decency between them, they travel along getting revenge: "Your young master is here for you!"
Life just keeps getting more and more grave-worthy!
