Su Muyan, a modern inheritor of ancient medicine, transmigrates into a book and finds herself useless, only to become the wicked stepmother of two future villains.
She beats the children and even tries to sell them, eventually leaving them homeless and miserable until they turn evil.
Though she ultimately rises to the highest heights, her story ends with the gruesome fate of being beheaded.
Su Muyan: This character setup is lethal! I need to redeem myself, and fast!
Luckily, she brought along a space stocked with a trillion worth of supplies, and she has peerless medical skills to back her up. Dealing with scoundrels, taking on troublemakers, farming and making money, and keeping the two kids in line are all a piece of cake.
Later, the elder child becomes the top official at court, and the younger becomes a legendary empress of commerce. As their mother, Su Muyan enjoys a moment of unparalleled glory.
But then a certain abstinent general kisses her fiercely. “Wife, have another baby for me?”
Su Muyan clutches her stomach and fumes: “I’m closing up shop! No more babies!”
The abstinent general pleads pitifully: “But they’re all boys so far. What am I supposed to do if I still want a daughter?”
Su Muyan roars: “Get lost!”
The structure is clear and the ending is wonderful!
