Chi Baobao opened her eyes—and found herself in the Chi Family Village, reborn as the vicious mother-in-law and grandmother who had once sold her sons-in-law and granddaughters.
A vicious mother-in-law? A wicked grandmother?
She was a beautiful CEO who had money, leisure, and suitors numbering at least a thousand, yet in the blink of an eye she had become a detested elder whom everyone loathed.
Chi Baobao was so furious she felt like she could spit blood for miles.
Forced to accept this identity, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
No food? Not a problem. Rodent plague? Not a problem. Plague, snow disaster, earthquake, bandits—none of it mattered when she had a system in hand.
She earned money, raised children, and dealt with troublemakers, forging ahead step by step.
Before long, she had unexpectedly cultivated four outstanding daughters:
The eldest was gentle and intelligent, skilled in managing the household.
The second was brave and battle-hardened, a female general unmatched in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The third was talented and resourceful, a genius at making money.
The fourth was a divine healer, becoming one of the four greatest female physicians of the era.
As for herself, she improved crop seeds, invented bamboo tube water wheels, upgraded the curved plow, and boosted agricultural productivity. She even developed early firearms to strengthen the nation. Eventually, she crossed the seas three times, ushering in an age of maritime expansion.
She was ultimately granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Noble Lady.
The only thing she was dissatisfied with were her four sons-in-law and six adopted sons.
Each of them relentlessly pursued her—blocking doors, climbing walls, doing everything possible just to take her back to their estates to “retire in comfort.”
But she didn’t want that at all. She had finally stepped back from responsibility and just wanted to enjoy a quiet life with her cheap husband.
So what could she do when she couldn’t escape?
In one ruthless move, Chi Baobao knocked them all out with a packet of sleeping powder, grabbed her husband’s hand, and ran.
“Run! If we don’t run now, it’ll be too late!”
