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.

Very soon, the person who was inquiring about Lu Zhaozhao sent a message to Cai Ming.


Cai Ming knelt in front of Princess Ming Yue and reported the situation of Lu Zhaozhao to her in detail.


"The daughter of the Imperial Merchant Lu Family from Ning City. You also know her brother, the Champion Scholar Lu Zhaoyang from three years ago," Cai Ming said. "That young lady from the Lu Family is completely tainted with the smell of money. It's said she opened the largest rouge shop on West Market Street in Shengjing and even stood there personally to sell rouge and powders to customers at the beginning."


"How can a merchant's daughter so fixated on money be worthy of a student from the Imperial College?"


Cai Ming held a rather disdainful view of Lu Zhaozhao's behavior.


The Imperial Merchant Lu Family from Ning City.


Princess Ming Yue did not regard the Lu Family highly at all.
