    I recently stumbled upon a gem of a period novel, and I absolutely have to recommend it! It's about a modern woman who transmigrates into the body of a wicked mother-in-law in the 1970s. The original mother-in-law abused her daughter-in-law and favored her son. The first thing she does after transmigrating isn't run away, but rather: slap all sorts of awful characters in the face, lead her entire family of women to open a factory, and secure orders.
