Su Qingyu, a pampered, fussy schemer with a pond full of fish, transmigrates one day
and finds herself the universally hated villainess in a period novel.
The villainess is lazy and greedy, and has two burdensome children in tow.
The first thing Su Qingyu does after getting two children for free is set some rules for them.
Rule one: Your mother is always right.
Rule two: If your mother is wrong, see rule one.
Su Qingyu buys up all the ripe oranges in the village that nobody can sell.
Eldest child: My mom can't lift or carry anything. Giving them money just now must have worn her out. I'll haul the oranges home for her.
Second child: Mom, I bought all the oranges from the neighboring village for you, too. You can have as many as you want!
Su Qingyu pins a young man from the village against a wall and teases him.
Eldest child: Mom choosing you is your good fortune. I advise you not to be ungrateful.
Second child: Mom, I've already tied him up and brought him to you.
The villagers all wait to laugh at Su Qingyu.
Instead, they discover that not only has she avoided becoming a laughingstock, she's given them a thorough slap in the face.
She starts companies and factories, with cars trailing behind her.
She takes the college entrance exam and starts schools, and her sons and daughters all turn out splendid.
Matchmakers line up from morning till night to propose suitable partners.
Su Qingyu holds up the photos and spends ages choosing, as if selecting imperial consorts.
Someone snatches the photos from behind her and sweeps her into his arms.
"Our son said that since you kissed me, you have to take responsibility for me."
Theme: Hard work and perseverance are the path to prosperity.
