Ruan Jinxiang’s long-dead husband returned, landed an official job, and brought back a delicate, pitiful woman.

Thinking her life would improve with his return, she was instead driven out of the house.

Pei Daquan sneered with disgust, “You vicious woman, daring to harm Lian’er! Get out and suffer in the broken shack at the village’s end. I’m divorcing you!”

Despite Ruan Jinxiang’s desperate pleas, she was forced into the shack. On the brink of freezing and starving to death, she stumbled into a mystical realm.

By scavenging scraps and tilling land, she not only survived but clothed herself and her child in warm cotton and put meat on the table.

She even tasted the luxurious goods of the mystical realm. “Mom, what’s this? So~ so~ delicious~”

Ruan Jinxiang smiled, “Sweetie, this is called starch sausage~”

She also discovered a huge business opportunity in trading between the two worlds.

Later, Pei Daquan arrogantly declared, “I’ll allow you to return home, but you must address Lian’er as a sister.”

Ruan Jinxiang: “Get lost! How come your precious little son looks nothing like you?”

Later still, Pei Daquan wept bitterly, “A day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of affection. It was Lian’er who seduced me. Jinxiang, my feelings for you are genuine. Please use your silver to pull strings and save me.”

Haha~ I’ll use my silver to pull strings, all right—guaranteed to keep you locked up for life!

The head shopkeeper: “I’ll take you as my concubine to manage my silver. Just follow me and enjoy a life of luxury.”

Wealthy Landlord Liu: “I’ll marry you as my official wife! I’ll manage your land for you, and you’ll live as the lady of the manor.”

Ruan Jinxiang: “Your schemes are so obvious they’re hitting me in the face. Get lost, all of you!”

This lady seeks wealth, not love!
