Even if the man could make money, she felt inferior to her husband's powerful family. She was even more afraid of making mistakes and embarrassing the man. Back when he was young, Zhao Jinshu was an old cucumber with green paint. No matter how she looked on the outside, she was full of old ginger bumps on the inside and could not pretend to be a shy little daughter-in-law. After his children grew up, Zhao Jinshu, who had enjoyed many years of happiness, was not sure whether his life would be different from his previous life. But there were a few things she was sure of. She could no longer bear the injustice she suffered in her previous life. She could make up for the guilt she felt towards her children in her previous life.

All in all, Zhao Jinshu just wanted to live his life freely. However, when she was first reborn, Zhao Jinshu did not expect that her new life would be so exciting.
