In her previous life, after distributing her wealth to her children and grandchildren, she assumed they would support her in her old age but was nearly starved due to their disrespect. She was instead treated kindly by her initially unappreciated second daughter-in-law. Reborn, she only treats her second daughter-in-law well, even though she knows she also transmigrated at the same time due to overwork (996 work schedule) and wants to retire. However, the mother-in-law relentlessly pushes her to improve herself, solely because her daughter-in-law is believed to be her support in her old age. She only befriends her daughter-in-law and constantly criticizes her own children. Haha, it's hilarious!
