The Splendor of a Noble Household: Greetings to the Wicked Mother-in-Law

The eldest son is distant, the second son is a handful, and the fifth daughter is naive. They may be a distinguished family, but they're so poor they can barely put food on the table. There are also a bunch of insincere illegitimate children to raise. The original owner, dealt a terrible hand as soon as she transmigrated, is crushed: Where's the comfortable retirement I was promised?

The heroine brandishes her little whip. “I'm going to make a fortune, become a prestigious family, and enjoy my retirement. Anyone who gets in my way is getting whipped to death!”

The little rascals whimper, “Grandma, you've made money now. Do we really have to study?”

The heroine glares coldly. “Damn right! If you don't get me a top scholar, what happens when the powerful families swallow my business whole? Now get back to studying till you drop!”

Years later, three generations of the Yao family have produced a whole clan of successful candidates in the imperial examinations, and their official careers are flourishing.
