About this novel

Old Lady Li had lived her whole life, bearing four sons and two daughters. She had emptied her family's coffers and worked her husband to death, all to marry off her sons, raise their children, and look after her grandchildren.Show more

Her eldest son went to university, while his wife and children were dumped on her to raise. Her second son was a troublemaker; she would patch up his messes, only for him to turn around and become a live-in son-in-law for someone else. Her third son was tall and sturdy but had soft ears, easily manipulated by his wife until he lost all sense of direction. Her youngest son was also a man with high ambitions and low abilities, obsessed with nothing but striking it rich... She had dedicated her entire life to her family, only to be tossed into a nursing home to die in her old age. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of forty-nine, on the day of her husband's funeral. Having witnessed the cold-heartedness of her children, not a shred of maternal love stirred within her heart. Still want her to work like an ox or a horse? Her life creed from now on would be: Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings; if there are no children or grandchildren, I shall enjoy my own!
