Everyone thought Pu Xiang had married into a good family. As it turned out, her husband was a lazy good-for-nothing who spent his entire life chasing other women and gambling. She worked herself to the bone for her whole life, only to be despised for it all the same.

She wanted a divorce countless times, but whenever she saw the stepmother next door abusing her stepdaughter, she couldn't bring herself to leave. She endured it all for the sake of the child, only to raise an ungrateful wretch in the end.

All she did was take a fall and break her leg, leaving her temporarily unable to look after her son or do the housework. He actually called her a useless old thing who was nothing but a burden to her children and had no value at all, and said she might as well die sooner.

Pu Xiang regretted everything. If she had another chance, she wouldn't hesitate for a second. She would divorce him and leave.

The next moment, Pu Xiang was back in the year she was twenty-five. Her ungrateful son was five, throwing a tantrum and rolling on the floor because she'd eaten a piece of chicken.

So an ungrateful wretch didn't become one all of a sudden. He'd been like that from the start.

"Let's get divorced. I don't want the child."

This time, she was done!

With her ability to make money, she'd live a much better life without this whole family dragging her down.

As for her ungrateful son and his family, she wanted to see how they'd manage without her working herself to death for them.

Despite her parents and family's lack of understanding and the gossip of her country neighbors, Pu Xiang made money, opened a shop, and bought a house and a car. She went from a "twice-married woman" even dogs looked down on to a beautiful, successful businesswoman. Countless people envied her life.

By then, her scumbag ex-husband came begging to get back together, and her ungrateful son finally realized that Mom was the best person in the world.

Pu Xiang: Ha. We don't know each other. Thanks.

1. The female lead is reborn. She really does get divorced and leaves her child behind. The story is a slow burn, focused on everyday life, family matters, and realistic details.

2. The female lead will marry again, but won't have any more children.

3. The female lead won't raise children, anyone's children. This novel isn't about raising children either. In this story, both leads are reborn, and the male lead's daughter is a reborn person too, at the age of forty!

Theme: Hard work brings prosperity
