Chen Yunyun transmigrated into a period novel set in an alternate world and became the stepmother of two little ones.
As soon as her cheap husband died in the line of duty, the original supporting female character took off. But it was too dark, and she fell into a filthy ditch. Chen Yunyun seized her chance and nearly died from the stench.
Nearly being stunk to death wasn't enough. Why did she wake up to a timid mother-in-law, a domineering older brother-in-law, and a selfish sister-in-law? She had to split the household and make a good life for herself and the two children.
But what was the deal with the original female character's cheap husband? Why was he clinging to her like that? Who was he trying to impress?
It's well-written; hopefully, there won't be so many unpleasant things to happen later.
