Historical era + family life + adorable children + pocket dimension + marriage first, love later.
(The male lead appears fairly late, and the story moves at a leisurely pace. If that's not your thing, come in and judge for yourself!!!)
A rich and beautiful doctor is attacked by a patient. One stab later, she transmigrates into a book set in the 1970s, becoming the tragic female foil to the heroine of a period novel.
The heroine gets rich while she begs. The heroine rises through the ranks while she kicks the bucket.
After a painless birth, she gets a whole bunch of fine sons. Black-market dealings and drug trafficking, she doesn't miss a thing. Once she's finished making the heroine's son look good, she gets a one-way ticket to the firing squad.
With the worst possible start, Lan Li wants to run for it right away. Then she discovers that she's brought a System with her, though using it requires earning affection points from her sons and the people around her. So she quickly becomes a model mom.
With her sweet talk and delicious food, Lan Li becomes everyone's darling.
Her mother-in-law, who used to complain that Lan Li never lifted a finger: "Lan Li is an educated woman. How can she be expected to cook every day? It's enough if she makes a couple of dishes now and then!"
The little ones, who used to be timid and afraid to approach their mother: "I'll work hard! The more I do, the less Mom will have to do!"
And as for the man who broke his leg and wanted to divorce Lan Li, after she gave him a few acupuncture treatments, he regretted it: "Divorce? What idiot said that? That's completely outrageous!"
It's a good show. The female lead is well-developed; she's a well-educated young lady, worldly-wise but not cynical, clear-headed but not cold-hearted, and very kind to the boy. I like her!
