    I stumbled upon this gem of a novel today. The female protagonist is reborn and immediately cuts ties with her ungrateful children, unlike other rebirth novels where she just beats them up a few times and then starts clinging to them again. I found it very satisfying to read. Moreover, unlike other rebirth novels about old ladies who are full of mundane family matters, this book focuses more on the old lady's career after her rebirth. She takes many unfortunate women with her and rides the wave of the times to explore the unknown world, leading the people of the county to develop together.

    This is a quick transmigration novel. The protagonist was a wicked mother-in-law in her previous life who tormented her daughter-in-law to death. In the underworld, she suffered eighteen cruel tortures before finally repenting and transmigrating into various worlds as a mother-in-law to save her tormented daughters-in-law. Although some worlds have romantic pairings, these are only briefly mentioned. Overall, it's a pretty good mother-in-law novel.
