The Tough Housewife’s Dream: Stockpile Beans Today, Buy a Building Tomorrow

When Lin Wanqiu wakes up, she has become a poor farmer's widow, with three young brothers-in-law she barely knows in tow. Her grasping in-laws covet her compensation money, debt collectors are breathing down her neck, and the villagers gossip that she's cursed her husband to death. The tough widow Lin Wanqiu just wants to make money. From the start, she sets up a tofu stall, beats up bullies, outsmarts the clan head, and happens to save an adorable little boy who sticks to her like glue. Just as life begins to improve, her dreams grow increasingly bizarre. It turns out that all three of her brothers-in-law will one day wield power over the court, while she becomes a stepping stone to their success and dies a miserable death by the sword. Lin Wanqiu: ...This isn't how the story is supposed to go! So the future Grand Secretary becomes her bookkeeper, the future general her bodyguard, and the future emperor her little sidekick. Then one day, her hunter husband, who was supposedly killed in battle, suddenly returns. He has transformed into a cold-faced general with immense power, yet follows her around every day, looking utterly aggrieved. “Wife, I'm afraid of you.” Lin Wanqiu looks at the man who plays the pig to eat the tiger, then remembers the ruthless figure from her dreams and falls into deep thought: What kind of man did I marry?
