Recommended upcoming novel: The Wicked Mother-in-Law of the 1970s

When Su Qing woke up, she had transmigrated into a book, becoming the wicked mother-in-law in an old-fashioned period novel.

The wicked mother-in-law was detested, and even her husband and son favored the sweet, innocent female lead.

The female lead took everything from her. Her husband divorced her, leaving her with nothing, then married the female lead's pure and innocent mother.

Her son cut off all ties with her and shut his door to her. He never saw her again, not even before she died.

Later, she became so consumed with her husband's relationship with the pure and innocent woman that she neglected her daughter's illness. By the time her daughter was rushed to the hospital, it was too late, and she was left with brain damage.

In the end, she was devastated and lost her balance. While her husband and the sweet, innocent woman were celebrating their wedding, she leaped into the sea in despair with her daughter in her arms. Her husband and son didn't even attend the funeral afterward.

When Su Qing read the story, she had mocked the wicked mother-in-law for being an idiot. She was rich and beautiful, yet insisted on making life difficult for the sweet, innocent female lead. Why keep her son from marrying her? Why not let the scumbag man and his shameless lover stay together forever? And what did she need that scumbag husband for anyway?

Then, in a single moment, she transmigrated and became the wicked mother-in-law. But what a wicked mother-in-law she was! The daughter of a ten-thousand-yuan household in the 1970s, she owned thousands of mu of land in a small fishing village in Shenzhen. Most importantly, she was stunningly beautiful, and only thirty-six years old.

Can you hear the screams? She'd hit the jackpot! Who needed a husband with this kind of money? He could marry whoever he wanted. Who cared about an unfilial son? Let him and the female lead live happily together. And the following year, 1979, was the spring when an old man drew a circle on China's southern coast... while she owned a whole stretch of land. Hahahahahaha!

The most urgent thing now was to get a divorce! But why was this man refusing to divorce her, even if it killed him?
