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.

To welcome Zhao Yi into the capital, the Royal Family dispatched an imposing ceremonial guard and escort army.


The vast procession stretched from Tong Huaqiong's doorstep all the way to the village entrance.


Tong Huaqiong reflected on the intense security measures, so stringent that not even a fly could get in.


Early in the morning, all the villagers gathered to see them off.


Aunt Qin suddenly broke through the guards, taking Zhao Yi's hand, stuffing him with two pairs of shoes and homemade buns, and tearfully said, "When you arrive in Shengjing, don't forget the people of Qinghe Bay. If you rise to a high position someday, be kind to our folk like your father, so we can all have enough to eat."


Aunt Qin didn't care if the former Crown Prince was a traitor; she only knew she had a full meal under the former Crown Prince's regency.
