    This book is quite good. The first thing the protagonist does after being reborn is to separate the family property. His son is lazy and good-for-nothing, so he's beaten up and kicked out. They start fighting at the drop of a hat; it's so good it makes your breasts feel sore.

Watching "The Fairy Couple," the line goes, "Even fairies have to have their bones removed when they descend to earth! You silly girls, you're throwing money, your reputation, your whole lives at it, what are you after? For his dilapidated house? For his old ox eating young grass?" Su Wan: "Mother is right. It's essentially emotional exploitation due to severe information asymmetry. Dong Yong takes advantage of the Seventh Fairy's ignorance of human rules, using 'filial piety' to coerce her into giving up her fairy status to be his slave. So-called 'love' is actually the Seventh Fairy's one-sided sacrifice." Watching "The Fence, the Woman, and the Dog," the line continues, "The tears of jujube blossoms can't drown a copper lock, but a kitchen knife can! Be kind-hearted, but ruthless! Separate the family when it's time to separate, overturn the table when it's time to overturn the table!"
