Forced to Marry an Old Man, She Raises Children and Makes a Fortune

[Rebirth, military romance, face-slapping, putting scumbags in their place, love after marriage, everyday child-rearing, building wealth]

When Tang Yao opened her eyes, she had been reborn on the very day, twenty years earlier, when her adoptive parents sent her to the countryside. In her previous life, she had died a horrific death in a fire.

She rubbed her hands together and set out to turn her tragic life around!

Her adoptive parents forced her to marry an old man in place of their biological daughter, making her stepmother to his three children?

What was there to fear? The old man was actually a treasure, and the three little ones were obedient, sweet, filial, and adorable. She got to be a mom without having to give birth!

Her birth mother had spent twenty years being bullied and beaten by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law?

No need to panic. Tang Yao taught her how to put the scumbags in their place and face-slap them until they became obedient and meek.

Her mother-in-law made things difficult for her at every turn, ordering her to do the dirtiest, most exhausting work and refusing to feed her?

Calm as ever, Tang Yao used just one trick to make her mother-in-law treat her with warmth and obey her every command!

The biological daughter had hoped to see Tang Yao lead a miserable life after marrying the old man. Instead... she saw shocking news on TV: [Congratulations to Ms. Tang Yao, our country's newest richest person, on receiving the Medical Academy's Academician Medal!]

She also saw Tang Yao facing the cameras with composure and saying, “I owe my success to my husband, who has quietly supported and encouraged me all along. Thank you, Mr. Ning!”

Only then did everyone learn that Tang Yao's husband was none other than Ning Tingfeng, a renowned high-ranking official in Huaguo's military and political circles!

The biological daughter consoled herself that she wasn't jealous. No matter how wonderful Ning Tingfeng was, he was still an impotent good-for-nothing, and Tang Yao would spend her whole life as a lonely wife.

Later, people saw Tang Yao, visibly pregnant, being carefully helped out of a car by a man in military uniform.

With one hand on her lower back, Tang Yao tugged the man's ear with the other. “I thought you said you couldn't have children?”

He held her protectively in his arms, his face full of affection. “Be good. I never said that.” ^__^
