The Powerful Families of the Capital Beg Her to Babysit, While Her Ungrateful Descendants Panic

Everyone in the capital knows that the fiery Wei Shuyan is Lord Chu's beloved wife. Lord Chu rescued her at the risk of his own life and won the hand of the Wei family's legitimate daughter. Everyone in the capital envies this seemingly perfect couple. Their eldest son holds a fourth-rank post, their eldest daughter is virtuous and refined, a model for the noblewomen of the capital, their second son is a third-rank general who commands respect far and wide, and their youngest daughter enjoys a happy life that others envy. But after devoting thirty years of her life to raising her children, Wei Shuyan is repaid with their resentment. On a snowy night, they beat her to death. Before she dies, the husband who had always seemed so devoted to her says, “If you hadn't held the title of legal wife, why would I ever have stayed with you? You kept me from being with Wanwan. You should have died long ago.” It turns out that not only her children's filial devotion and respect, but even the marriage she was so proud of, were all lies. When she opens her eyes again, she is reborn at the age of thirty-eight. This time, she won't bother with her scumbag husband or children. By the time they realize their mistake and kneel to beg Wei Shuyan, she has already become one of the most influential figures in the capital. Her children take turns pleading: “Please come back, Mother. We were wrong.” Her usually sharp-tongued mother-in-law smiles broadly. “From now on, you should still have the keys to the household.” Even her scumbag husband kneels and begs: “My lady, please come back. I know I was wrong. From now on, I'll love only you…” Wei Shuyan briskly brushes them aside and takes the hand of the new husband who has loved her for years and stood quietly by her side. “See? He's a hundred times better than you.” “Besides, I have to go to the palace to tutor the princes and princesses. I don't have time for you. Get lost!”
