[Period Setting + Military Marriage + Marriage Before Love + Stepmother + Raising Children + Both Unmarried]
Shen Jia transmigrated into a period novel as the stepmother who was destined to die young.
The stepmother's military officer husband had just died.
Shen Jia: My man, my coat, take your sweet time dying. I'm doing just fine.
The stepmother had cruel, biased in-laws, a greedy and shameless older sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law, and two timid little step-sons who would grow up to become villains and attack the protagonist with all their might.
Shen Jia: I worked like an ox in my last life. This time, I'm going wild and doing whatever I want. Your dad's here!
They won't let us eat? Then I'll flip the table so nobody gets to eat! They sneak food for themselves? I'll smash the kitchen and make them eat dirt! They want to marry off the widow Shen Jia for the pension? I'll send every last one of them to jail!
Shen Jia takes on her in-laws, flipping tables and smashing bowls; she disciplines the little ones with both firmness and kindness; and she tells those shameless relatives to stay away!
She'll go to college, publish articles, and build a wonderful life with ease~
But then she receives devastating news: her dead husband is back!
The first day the dead husband returns
Shen Jia: What kind of filthy thing is squawking?!
The older boy: (His world crumbles) Mom, the money from our dead dad is gone!
The younger boy: (Pounding away with his little stick) Bad guy! You took my bed, and now you're trying to take my mom!
One month after the dead husband returns
Shen Jia: My officer, my coat, get to work and don't you run away.
The boys: (Lifting their little sticks and continuing to pound) Stay away from my mom!
I finally punished the Lu family and it made me feel physically and mentally comfortable.
It's so beautiful. Why is it serialized?
