Seventy-year-old Wu Zhi Qiu is reborn, back to an era when her children still rely on her hard work! 📖② Old Lady Zhou devoted her entire life to her four sons, even distributing the property and cash she received from the demolition compensation to them. However, in the eyes of each son, she was biased, harboring resentment and refusing to support her. Old Lady Zhou, who should have been enjoying her retirement, ended up supporting herself by collecting garbage at an advanced age and died of illness in her small rented room. Reborn before the demolition, the house hasn't been demolished yet, and the money is still in her hands... 📖③ After being reborn, Old Lady Zhang suddenly realized the truth.

It is set in an alternate era, with a focus on career development and a reconstituted family. The male lead is just a figurehead.

    This is a story that can be read as two books. The first part features a female protagonist in her sixties, whose hidden identity is that of a princess. Only after becoming an ancestor does she discover that her marriage was a deception, and none of her six sons support her. However, she resolutely divorces them and severs ties with her sons. The female protagonist is intelligent and strategic, planning step by step, helping women and eradicating a scourge for the country. The first 439 chapters are a satisfying tale of the female protagonist's revenge against the villains, while chapter 440 depicts her rebirth. It's currently being serialized and can be read as two separate books. The first part is a single-protagonist story without a romantic pairing, while the latter part is more of a typical rebirth story.
