The Unfilial Offspring Step Aside, Mom Is Here

share time: 2026-02-04 12:39:20

Jiang Ning, the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, is reborn to find that her once-doted descendants have become "unfilial": her eldest son ruins his official career over alchemy, her granddaughter is bullied into a sickly girl by a concubine, and her youngest grandson loses all family property in a casino. Jiang Ning rolls up her sleeves to take charge—she uses her past-life scheming to deal with malicious relatives and "reforms" her descendants in creative ways: sending the eldest son to the battlefield to build courage, hiring the best doctor for her granddaughter, and tying the youngest grandson to the study to copy *The Analects*. Gradually, she discovers the truth behind their "unfiliality": the eldest son’s alchemy was to make a longevity pill for her, the granddaughter endured humiliation to avoid worrying her, and the youngest grandson gambled to earn money for her birthday gift. When the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted old lady meets her clumsy yet warm descendants, how does this "counterattack to take charge" turn sweeter and sweeter?
