The Reborn Matriarch Stops Caring, and Her Self-Righteous Family Panics

Song Yao believed she had failed her husband's family because she couldn't bear children. She emptied her dowry and wore herself to the bone, risking everything to fight for the family and turn their fallen marquis household into a family of distinction.

And what did she get in return? The whole family called her wicked!

The three children she adopted were all ungrateful ingrates, each more self-righteous than the last.

The eldest son hated the civil service exams and cared nothing for wealth or fame. He loved nothing but flowers and plants!

The second son scorned a promising future and wanted no part in worldly affairs. He only wanted the martial world for company!

The youngest daughter refused to marry into a wealthy family. She only wanted a farm boy from the countryside, and didn't care if they had to brave the elements and eat coarse food for the rest of their lives.

Her mother-in-law owed her title of Imperial Mandate Lady to her daughter-in-law's hard work, yet said Song Yao's pursuit of fame and wealth was ultimately meaningless. As the mistress of the marquis household, she was always fighting to get ahead, behaving so shamelessly that she brought disgrace on the family.

Her husband ate well and dressed well, yet claimed he had never liked luxury and would be content with plain food and simple meals three times a day. This comfortable life wasn't what he wanted.

Her sister-in-law, Chunlan Xiu, told Song Yao a secret: "Sister, you can't have children because Mother-in-law has been giving you medicine to make you infertile. You weren't born unable to conceive!"

When Song Yao learned the truth, she grew so furious that she died of rage.

When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn five years earlier, on the day a matchmaker came to propose a marriage for the marquis's daughter.

Her adopted daughter didn't want to marry into a wealthy family? Fine, the engagement was off. She could have her way!

In this life, Song Yao decided to stop trying to help people and respect the fate of these ungrateful ingrates.

You want a quiet, unambitious life?

You don't care about wealth and status?

You think money is worth less than dirt?

Fine, I'll give you exactly what you want!

But when Song Yao stopped fighting and struggling for them, and fulfilled the whole family's wishes, every last one of them panicked...
