My Rich Wife's Place Was Stolen: I Married a Veteran, Raised a Child, and Took It Easy

[The 1980s + stepmother + pregnancy and raising children + sweet romance + super satisfying face-slapping]

In her previous life, Chen Youxi was switched at birth by her adoptive mother and the legitimate daughter of the family, and became the Chen family’s illegitimate daughter. When she was twenty-two, her adoptive mother was framed and killed by her birth mother. Youxi was then forced to take her elder sister’s place and marry a twice-married older man. He was eight years older than her, violent and impulsive, and treated her like she didn’t matter. Meanwhile, her elder sister took her identity and married the son of a factory owner who had long been in love with her, living a comfortable and prosperous life.

Given another chance at life, Youxi swore to steal her husband away and make her sister become a stepmother to those two children, so she could experience what it was like to be bullied by an older man.

But she discovered that the factory owner’s family was all show and no substance, an endless pit that could never be filled. Meanwhile, the violent man she’d married, who had two children, lived in a villa in the countryside, controlled assets worth hundreds of millions, and had bright, sensible kids.

Chen Youxi changed her revenge plan, let go of her obsession with the factory owner’s son, and returned to her older husband’s side. She settled into a life of effortlessly being a mother, caring for her husband and raising children. People said she’d hitched her entire life to a man for his money, and that the children would punish her once they grew up. She had no reason to deny that people worked for money, just as birds flew for food. All she wanted was to stay by her billionaire god of fortune and eat her fill.

Years later, her elder sister, whose life had gone badly, came to the countryside looking for attention, only to see the god of fortune kneeling before Chen Youxi, who was heavily pregnant, gently massaging her legs with adoration in his eyes.

Chen Youxi frowned and patted the god of fortune on the chest. “Didn’t you say my hips were too narrow for me to bear children? No more having kids?”

The god of fortune quickly caught her hand and kissed it, soothing her tenderly. “It was my fault. We’ll have another one next time.”
