PhD Turned Marquis's Matriarch: Outsmarting the Evil Mother-in-Law

share time: 2025-11-21 12:33:15

Lin Wan, a 28-year-old paleontology PhD, accidentally travels back in time while burning the midnight oil on her thesis—only to become Shen Zhaoning, the "doormat" matriarch of the Marquis Gu household. The original Shen was so meek that she was bullied by her evil mother-in-law Zhao Shi and even her husband's concubines. Worse still, Lin discovers she can only return to the modern world by resolving the original Shen's "unfinished grievances"! So she transforms into a "high-IQ strategist": when Zhao Shi forces her to kneel in the ancestral hall, she retorts with "leaking roofs harm the ancestors' blessings"; when a concubine frames her for pushing someone into the lake, she uses "mud moisture on shoe prints" to expose the lie; she even helps the Marquis household solve a major grain merchant debt problem. Just as she thinks she's close to going home, Gu Zhaoheng, the Marquis's son who's been missing for three years, suddenly returns—and he's fascinated by this "changed" wife... Caught between her urgent quest to go home and the son's deep affection, what will Lin Wan choose?
