Zhang Miao died while carrying out a mission. As an outstanding bodyguard, she met her end on the job.
Dying such a miserable death would have been bad enough, but she never expected to transmigrate into the body of a timid peasant woman.
Her husband is lazy and gluttonous, and too cowardly to say a word. Her three young children have been taught by their grandmother not to feel close to their mother, and they don't dare utter a peep.
Looking at this family that hardly feels like a family, Zhang Miao, with a new soul in her body, gives a cold laugh and gets ready to take them all in hand.
But as she sets about reforming her family, Zhang Miao discovers they're desperately poor, with not even half a mu of land. So while she trains her family, she also rolls up her sleeves and brings all eighteen of her skills to bear, turning their poor lives into prosperous ones.
Years later, her once-lazy husband grants her the glory of being The Outcast.
