After the mother-in-law was replaced, she lived a wonderful life. The third book involved transmigrating into an ancient old woman whose husband had also retired.

   ① This is a satisfying rebirth story about an old woman who gets reborn. She's incredibly cathartic, no longer willing to suffer injustice, and her unfilial children are banished. She's capable of both physical and verbal abuse, slapping people without hesitation. Reading it is so good it'll make your breasts feel sore. ② The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of an old woman. In the original story, her entire family died due to the original protagonist's schemes, each meeting a tragic end. After transmigrating, the protagonist uses the script to turn the tables on the original protagonist, reclaiming her spatial ability and stealing the original protagonist's power, ultimately exposing the original protagonist's true colors and ruining her reputation. The content is quite good.
