[Marquis's household matriarch + domestic intrigue + becoming the male lead's stepmother]
Question: What does it feel like to end up as the male lead's beloved stepmother in a harem novel written for men?
Jiang Zhiyu: Thanks for asking. It's pretty disgusting. I want to slap him and kick him as far away as possible. Too bad I can't, so I really just want to give up.
But with the original body's early death hanging over her, Jiang Zhiyu has no choice but to work hard and change the plot bit by bit, like ants moving house.
Who knew the plot's force would play dirty!
To push the male and female leads' tortured romance forward, it keeps pulling one dirty trick after another, even silencing her and restricting what she can say and do?
Jiang Zhiyu: If you make the first move, don't blame me for striking back!
The harem protagonist's first woman? I'll poach her and make her my confidante!
His fiancée? I'll poach her and make her my friend!
His one true love? I'll poach her and make her my frenemy!
The harem protagonist's… whoever they are, I'll poach them all!
She poaches so many women that the harem protagonist can't keep his harem going, and the plot's force fades away. At last, Jiang Zhiyu can lie flat and give up.
Looking at the roomful of beauties vying for her attention, Jiang Zhiyu suddenly understands the harem protagonist: If only I'd been born a man!
The great general, barely back from the battlefield, sees his little wife still stealing the show among all those beauties. “…”
The general, green with jealousy, pins her against him in the middle of the night. “Who is more beautiful, me or them?”
