Lu Youxi rose from a village girl to become CEO of the Lin Group, working herself to the bone until she died of exhaustion at thirty-eight. Only before her death did she learn that her useless husband had cheated on her and had a child with another woman. She woke up again at eighteen, facing grandparents who favored boys and were cruel and sharp-tongued, a kind but blindly obedient father, a timid mother who was easy to bully but loved her children dearly, and a younger brother she had treated coldly who still loved her.
In this life, Lu Youxi would help her family escape their parasitic relatives, free her brother from his fate of disability, stay away from her useless ex-husband, and live a different life.
She never expected that once she was rid of her useless ex, she’d pick up an even more powerful man on the side of the road.
Useless Ex-Husband: “Lu Youxi, your husband’s just a country bumpkin who couldn’t even get into college. What kind of life do you think you’ll have with him?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a Bentley pulled up beside Lu Youxi. The driver got out and bowed. “Madam, the head of the family is waiting for you to come home for dinner.”
“That license plate belongs to the Zhou family!”
“That’s the Zhou family head’s car?!”
“Did he just call Lu Youxi ‘Madam’?”
The Zhou family head, a country bumpkin?
What a joke!

“I heard Brother Yan brought a village girl home?”
“And some people are saying she’s Brother Yan’s wife. Isn’t that hilarious?”
Housekeeper: “Head of the family, Madam is home.”
