Gu Ran was pushed into a horde of zombies by her best friend. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar ancient world. It was a truly miserable start:
A husband who had just died and hadn't even been buried yet, a dilapidated house with nothing in it, three sons, a daughter, and a daughter-in-law who had just given birth to a granddaughter.
After finally burying her deadbeat husband, she was figuring out how to build a fortune and achieve a comfortable life when her late husband's parasitic older brother and his family showed up.
She had barely driven them away when she became the target of "her." The woman sabotaged her shop, ruined her fields, and even hired someone to fake a death and cause trouble at her pharmacy. She was clearly trying to get her killed.
Look closely, and you realize that no matter where you go, you always run into familiar faces.
She takes in a rich young master, only to find his estate is the entire realm?
Her eldest son earns military honors, her second son becomes the top scholar, and her youngest son? What? You want to go into business? Come here, son. I'll hand over my workshops, bookstore, medicinal herb fields, and grain shop for you to manage.
I kindly help you claim your inheritance, and you want to marry my daughter and make her empress?
I kindly help you ascend the throne, and you want your cousin from the same clan to marry my son?
