About this story:

Her daughter went abroad and lost contact. Before she died, she never got to see her one last time.

Her son is quiet and reserved, and once he got a wife, he forgot his mother and resented her deeply.

Until the day she died, Zhao Ruyue couldn't understand how she could have given everything to her children and family, acting as both mother and father, only to end up like that.

After another failed attempt to contact her daughter, Zhao Ruyue posts a tearful complaint online.

The commenters tell her she deserves it and say her daughter was right to run away!

A younger relative sees the post. Zhao Ruyue thinks her family will comfort her.

But they offer sympathy to her face and mock her behind her back,

saying, “An unworthy wife ruins three generations. The good fortune that finally rose from the Ning family grave was all put out by that stupid woman's bucket of water.”

Zhao Ruyue looks at the hundreds and thousands of cruel comments on her phone and listens to her relatives' taunts. Her vision goes black.

When she opens her eyes again, she is back in 2003.

This year, her husband is still alive, and her children are still young.

Zhao Ruyue thinks she's been given another life to prevent her husband's early death and raise her two wayward children right.

But seeing things from a different perspective this time, she realizes the children weren't wayward in their previous life at all. They grew up just fine even though she left them to fend for themselves. She was the one who went astray.

As she raises her children in this life, they are also, in their own way, “raising” her.

In a nutshell: Pour “oil” on the family grave where good fortune has risen!

About the story:

The third daughter of the eldest branch of the Chang'an gentry family, the Jiangs, elopes with a man.

Jiang Rong has no regrets about escaping the Jiang family. It's just a shame that after only a few years of freedom, the world falls into chaos.

Her husband, Zhong Yeran, disappears while going out to prepare supplies for their escape. His fate is unknown.

Jiang Rong sets out to look for him, but unexpectedly transmigrates to the 1950s.

The bad news: she knows nothing about this place and has no connections.

The good news: she inherits Zhong Yeran's sign-in System. Each day's sign-in gives her a small amount of supplies to survive.

Jiang Rong pulls herself together and starts living on her own.

Later, she is delighted to discover that in this era she can go out to work openly, without disguising herself.

A trade is enough to make a living, and she even has a sign-in System!

After finding a job, Jiang Rong starts out in a drafty earthen house with nothing but a small wooden bed.

Today, she finds a board to patch up the house.

Tomorrow, she picks up a few bricks to build a stove.

When she gets her first month's wages, she hunts down a table and chairs.

When she gets her second month's wages, she buys an iron pot.

Little by little, she builds a home that is completely her own.

Just as Jiang Rong is gradually finding her feet in this era, the man who's been missing for so long suddenly appears before her in a military uniform, covered in dust from his journey.

“Rongrong, I'm back!”

Theme: Believe in yourself and heal yourself.
