    High-energy plot: The heroine was abandoned and picked up. She thought she could escape the misery, but was persecuted and froze to death. After the soul was transported, she began to take revenge. From finding out the truth about freezing to death, to liquidating the people who had hurt her one by one, every step was ruthless. The "tit for tat" revenge was super refreshing, and the plot reversal and revenge filled her with a satisfying feeling. The heroine came into her 70s with a huge fortune. When faced with the calculations and difficulties in the family, she directly used her money and power to fight back. From regaining her own rights and interests, to punishing her eccentric elders and strange relatives, she established her authority with "hegemony" and severely suppressed those who wanted to bully her. The plot of the use of property and the battle of wits in running the family were very touching. Something bad happened during the wedding night. The heroine decided to remarry the ascetic military commander next door. After the marriage, she faced the entanglement of the original family and the rumors from the outside world. She joined hands with the military commander to fight back strongly. From getting rid of the old shackles to slapping the troublemaker in the face, every step was straightforward, "breaking away from each other" and the decisiveness of the previous life was beyond relief.
