The Fearsome Old Lady Takes Down Her Ex and Beats Her Bratty Son!

Li Xiaoyue had just achieved financial independence when she fell asleep on a plane and woke up inside a book as a terrible old woman destined to be cannon fodder.

She became a mother without the labor, and a grandmother to boot.

She struck first, "eliminating" her scumbag husband, Liu Yunde, who had just passed the imperial examination to become a scholar and planned to make her lower herself to the status of a concubine.

Her eldest son had a violent temper; her second son peeped at a widow and behaved like a lecher, sucking up to both parents as they divorced; her third son was too dull and honest to hold a conversation; her fourth son was lazy and full of petty tricks; her fifth son was weak and sickly; her eldest daughter had been abused to death, and her youngest daughter had eloped...

Li Xiaoyue was determined to defy fate and refused to be cannon fodder.

At a border trade market, she bought foreign crops like potatoes and corn from merchants who had come from afar. She made a fortune through farming and built connections with all kinds of people.

The brilliant, peerless military strategist: "Lady Li's ingenuity is unmatched. I admire her. She understands me; she's the one true confidante of my life."

The smiling villain, honey-tongued but treacherous: "Lady Li still has her charm, a woman in her prime. If I marry her, I won't need to take bribes anymore!"

Li Xiaoyue was speechless. She just wanted to lie flat, live like a lazy fish, and enjoy her retirement!
