No one knows how long Yun Xi has been at the Time Management Bureau. No matter who comes or goes, she remains there, an enigma. No one knows how many missions she has completed, and her outstanding results still hang in the most prominent place in the Bureau, unsurpassed to this day. She enjoys drifting through the vast worlds, savoring life through other people's stories. But this latest, Top-Grade Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law System, has given her a truly novel experience. So this is another way to live. There really are so many outrageous people in this world. Sometimes Yun Xi is the awful mother-in-law who regrets her actions too late; other times, she's the daughter-in-law who turns the tables by outsmarting her awful mother-in-law.
About ten worlds in all.
World One: The tragic tofu beauty is abandoned, and the mother-in-law regrets doing nothing.
World Two: She sacrifices herself to save her wicked mother-in-law during a drought, then returns reborn to find they no longer know each other.
World Three: The Black Wind mother-in-law rules Black Wind Cave, while her constable daughter-in-law ventures into bandit territory.
World Four: Desperate to survive at the bottom, she gives in to wicked thoughts and mistakenly sells her mother-in-law into the mountains.
World Five: A wealthy mother-in-law schemes against a Cinderella, and her beloved son follows his wife, ending in tragedy.
Theme: These stories come from life, though sometimes life is far more dramatic. The many different people and all the complications reveal the nature of life. It brings relief, growth, and, above all, helplessness.
