[Reborn for revenge] + [Period novel] + [Feel-good face-slapping] + [Younger man pampers her]
In her previous life, Lin Wantang was tricked into marriage and forced to remarry. Her son died in an illegal mine, her daughter was sold into the mountains, and she died in agony and regret. Reborn on the day the matchmaker came to her door in 1980, she clutched her living children and swore: Anyone who dares touch my children in this life will pay with their life! The matchmaker tries to trick her into marrying into the murderous Zhao family? She turns the tables and takes down the human-trafficking den! Her awful in-laws want to steal her house and grain? She makes them beg on their knees for food! Her ex-husband's family wants to seize her compensation money? She sends the whole lot of them to jail! She only meant to protect her kids, earn money, and get by. Who knew that the younger, rough-hewn man who just returned from military service and moved back to the village would keep blocking her doorway? The man drops his game at her feet and says, scowling, "Sister Tang, I can provide for you and the kids." Lin Wantang sneers. "I've got two kids. What do you want from me?" His eyes shine. "You." Later, the whole village spreads rumors that she's cursed and brings death to her husbands. But that man pampers her until she's the most untouchable woman for miles around.
