Tong Huaqiong transmigrated to ancient times into the body of the malicious widow Tong Dajiao and witnessed the execution scene where the malicious widow and her children were wiped out. She returned to the year Tong Dajiao had just become a widow.

At the age of forty, she was already a grandmother, embodying the roles of both a wicked stepmother and mother-in-law. Naturally, the children she raised were bad bamboo shoots.

The only slight comfort she felt was that, as a widow, she didn't have to serve an old husband.

In this transmigration story, she lacked all the golden fingers like systems or noble birth.

She didn't even have the chance to rise through marriage. Who could a widow marry? Especially with a bunch of burdens.

She could only rely on herself and her bunch of bad bamboos at home.

Revitalize the family reputation, correct the children's behavior.

Treat stepchildren, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters kindly, dismiss the plan of her youngest son to sell his granddaughter to a wealthy family in exchange for tuition fees, force the youngest son to strive through education on his own, use a stick to awaken the second son from being lazy and spoiled to becoming the family's backbone, and rid the youngest daughter of laziness, greed, and love-brain.

Reclaim wasteland and plant crops using modern scientific knowledge, turning saline-alkali land into fertile fields, leading the whole family towards a moderately prosperous life; start a business from street vending, selling steamed buns, pastries, marinated dishes, raising pigs, beekeeping... gradually expanding their commercial territory.

The news that Xiao Long is Grand Prince Zhao Yi spread like a landmine, exploding from Qinghe Bay.


It spread all the way to the prefectural city.


The country roads of Qinghe Bay were crowded with carriages, county magistrates from all over, prefecture officials, and local clan leaders... all came to pay their respects to the Grand Prince.


The future of the Grand Prince, who was welcomed by the Emperor's envoy, was full of promise, and everyone wanted to make a political investment.


Aside from County Magistrate Liu, the Grand Prince saw no one, though he accepted their gifts, ordering Su Chengmin to register them, letting Tong Huaqiong and Mr. Su and others choose, and distributing the rest to the villagers of Qinghe Bay.


Every villager in Qinghe Bay felt like bowing to the Grand Prince.


The Emperor, grateful for the villagers' care of the Grand Prince, rewarded each household in Qinghe Bay with a hundred taels of silver as a reward.
