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.

After sitting down, Tong Huaqiong asked someone to bring hot tea for the Grand Prince.


Chen Sufen personally handed the hot tea to the Grand Prince, looking at him with a face full of affection as he drank a few sips, then carefully unfastened the heavy coat the Grand Prince was wearing, and Man Er handed the Grand Prince a small hand warmer.


The Grand Prince smiled and said, "There are no dumplings in the palace. I want to eat dumplings made by my grandmother and mother, so I asked Grandpa Emperor to let me leave the palace."


The Emperor was ill, and the concubines and the princes each have their own agendas. Family love almost disappeared within the Imperial Family, presumably making tonight's New Year's Eve dinner quite unpleasant for the Grand Prince.


Chen Sufen asked, "What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."


The Grand Prince said, "I'm fine with dumplings."


Tong Huaqiong said, "Alright, dumplings it is."
