A retired bigwig from the Quick Transmigration Bureau, the elderly Nan Lingyi, is rehired and sent into a period-drama world where prices have depreciated by a factor of one million.
A super-luxury villa: 10 yuan.
A top-tier luxury car: 5 yuan.
And she is bound to assets worth 6 billion yuan.
In the original plot, she is the old-fashioned, rigid grandmother despised by her husband’s family.
Not only is she betrayed by a scumbag husband and driven insane, but the four children she bore all meet tragic ends after being schemed against by their stepmother.
Her “bargain” eldest daughter is bullied by her in-laws:
“We paid a huge bride price of 0.3 yuan to marry you! You should work like an ox and a horse for our family!”
Nan Lingyi, who can casually pull out stacks of cash:
“I’ll give you ten cents—your only son can marry into our family. That’s worth more!”
Her “bargain” second son works himself to the bone, yet all his earnings are taken by his wife and sent back to her natal family, leaving his children starving and skin and bones.
Nan Lingyi, owner of tens of billions in assets:
“My grandchildren don’t need parents. If I’m raising them, what do I need a son for?”
Her “bargain” third daughter’s husband dies of illness, and the sister-in-law sneers:
“My brother’s compensation money is mine! If not for you, my brother wouldn’t have been cursed to death!”
Nan Lingyi, diamond-studded nails flashing as she looks on in disdain:
“I’ve just bought this factory. I’ll give the compensation to whoever I want.”
Her “bargain” youngest son is falsely accused by thugs after a good deed:
“You’ll be a cripple ex-con for the rest of your life!”
With the state backing her, Nan Lingyi says coldly:
“As long as I’m his mother, what he did is role-playing. You, on the other hand, will rot in prison. He will be wealthy beyond the seas—while you’ll be a poor dog possessed by bad luck!”
A rich woman gone feral—unstoppable in every direction!
The stepmother fumes and jumps about:
“This isn’t the script I imagined at all!”
The scumbag ex-husband tries to cling to her:
“Lingyi, I love you. It’s all her fault…”
Nan Lingyi sneers:
“Disgusting. Get lost!”.
