[No romance for the female lead. The full story costs 7.37 yuan. The revised version is only on Jinjiang. Thank you for supporting the official version!]
In her old age, Mu Yuting finally realized that her entire life had been a joke.
The middle-aged man rose to success, squeezed the last drop of wealth out of his wife's family, and couldn't wait to dump the worn-out wife at home and the daughter who couldn't inherit his throne, then run off to enjoy himself.
The year they divorced, Mu Yuting was 35. A housewife with nothing to her name but her daughter.
She never remarried, and poured all her energy into putting her daughter through college. Years later, her daughter was won over by her deadbeat father, who could no longer have children, with crocodile tears and a show of money.
Alone, she died in a hospital bed.
Reborn at 25, Mu Yuting held firm to one belief: she would not marry or have children, and would live this life for herself. She would stop being a good girl and turn into a cactus. She would get a dog, for company and security!
Reader's guide:
1. A feel-good story with a realistic bent. Life is lighter without love; stay single and become a high achiever. Face-slapping and punishing scumbags, career advancement, and everyday life.
2. Both the title and blurb say "reborn." If you dislike rebirth stories, please steer clear. There are countless good books out there. I hope you find one you like!
3. Some scenes are foreshadowing, and will be explained later. No need to tell me if you're dropping the story. Until we meet again!
4. Don't force your own standards of right and wrong on others. Be mature: a gentleman can seek harmony without uniformity. Everyone has the right to choose a single life. Thank you!
5. This is a feel-good story about a woman finding her independence and strength, and women supporting one another. It also has a realistic bent. If you can't accept certain "realities" and insist on arguing, "How could people and things like this exist?", please drop the story without leaving abuse. Maybe spend some time reading the news. Reality is often a hundred times harsher than fiction.

~Coming next~ The fantasy romance occult feel-good story, The Occult Master Is a Beautiful Madwoman, is now underway. See my profile.
Occult master Sheng Ling slept for over a century before being awakened by the heart's blood of a dying girl.
When she awoke, she discovered that the girl was her descendant disciple. The sect she founded had fallen into ruin, with this girl as its last surviving successor. The sect was so poor it couldn't even afford to keep its old grounds, which had become a pig farm...
"Who are you?" the girl asked, barely able to open her eyes.
"I'm your sect's founding matriarch!"
She saves the girl, and is a master at fortune-telling, reading faces, catching ghosts, drawing talismans, and defying fate. She finds a new site for the sect, teaches its traditions, and restores it all in one go.
From then on, one ring of her bell brings in a fortune. One kick sends ten thousand ghosts bowing.
Demons and monsters tremble at the sound of her name. "Don't mess with her! Mom always said, the more beautiful a woman is, the crazier she is..."
Her clients applaud. "Good fortune for the whole family, ghost-catching with crime-fighting thrown in, and a free reincarnation for the unjustly dead... Long live the master! May she rule the occult world!"
Her colleagues shrug like salted fish. "The occult business is getting way too competitive. Another day of being forced out of a job..."
The Lord of the Underworld: "I want to join the sect too. Please take me in!"
Sheng Ling: "Our sect doesn't accept male disciples."
The Lord of the Underworld: "Could I apply for the position of founding patriarch? Can you give me a chance?"
