    Book Summary: A history major student dies from overworking and becomes Chen Yuhu, the matriarch of an ancient family—without any special advantages. However, as a modern, clear-headed college student, Chen Yuhu wants to tell the original matriarch not to be too love-struck and to cherish her life of wealth and privilege. She, for example, truly cherished it. She sent her biased mother-in-law to a period of seclusion, kept the obedient and beautiful concubines to play cards with, and let the disobedient ones experience the ruthlessness of a matriarch. She raised her children well, at least to prevent them from causing her death and the confiscation of her property. She also hoped that in her old age, her children would move her husband away from her. That was all she wished for. Just a tiny little thing.
