The Evil Mother-in-law: Torment Children, Work Hard, Be Rich!
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.

Okay, first of all — the vibe? Immaculate. You’ve got Beowulf Nova (badass name btw) waking up Dark Souls-style in some cursed snowy graveyard, but then it hits you with Lord of the Mysteries energy and Lovecraft ?? Peak crossover. The writing is cinematic. The world-building? Deep AF. Every paragraph feels like you’re peeling back a layer of frost and trauma. Beowulf isn’t just swinging swords — he’s carrying the weight of forgotten thrones, dying flames, and eldritch consequences. Man’s tired but still iconic. If you're into Soulsborne aesthetics, eldritch lore, and emotionally damaged protagonists trying to hold themselves together with sheer knightly grit — READ. THIS. NOW. It's giving "I dream in blood and regret" realness. 🔥 Can’t wait to see how Beowulf adapts to Sequences and pathways. I won't give spoilers tho. Certified banger. 11/10. Would sell my last sanity point to keep reading. So AS THE AUTHOR 5/5.
