    I seriously suspect someone gave the first book a low rating; the story is quite good. Modern unmarried woman Shen Huihui transmigrates into the body of a desolate old woman, Shen, and chooses to live for herself in the face of unfilial children. She uses her spatial ability to become wealthy, focuses on herself, and has no romantic subplot. The second book features a billionaire female CEO, Lin Ruyi, who transmigrates into the body of an extremely demanding old woman and uses a magical pen to lead her family to wealth.
