Raising Kids in an ’80s Military Marriage: The Beautiful Stepmom Makes a Fortune

[Military marriage + 1980s + stepmother raising kids + building a fortune + everyday family life]

While signing a contract, Wen Mianmian suddenly transmigrates into the body of a doomed supporting character in a period novel. After a falling-out with her father, the original owner married Lu Xiao, an older man with three children.

According to the novel, Wen Mianmian throws tantrums and causes endless trouble to get her father and the male lead’s attention, while abusing Lu Xiao’s three children.

In the end, she manages to get herself killed.

After inheriting the original owner’s memories, Wen Mianmian realizes that her stepmother and stepsister had egged her on to do everything she did.

Her first thought is simple: Leave, and go as far away as possible.

Stay away from the main characters, cherish your life, look after the doomed supporting characters, and above all, look after yourself.

She’s capable and well-educated. In the 1980s, when there’s gold to be found everywhere, how could she fail to make something of herself?

Just as Wen Mianmian’s career is taking off and everything is going smoothly, her attempts to divorce keep getting blocked. At last, when she finally seems ready to get the divorce, the three little ones all gaze at her with puppy-dog eyes.

The divorce keeps getting put off, and Wen Mianmian’s belly gradually begins to swell. Only then does she realize she’s fallen into the older man’s trap.

Wen Mianmian glares at the grinning man. “Lu Xiao, you’d better give me a reasonable explanation!”

“Mianmian, be careful. You don’t want to upset the baby.”
