Ye Su, a top agent with the Ministry of State Security, transmigrates into a period novel as a lazy, difficult, wicked stepmother.
From the start, her mother-in-law curses her, her genius stepson hates her, and her husband has supposedly “died in the line of duty.”
Ye Su: What a lucky break! Now I can finally lie flat in peace!
But when she sees the gaunt child and the empty rice jar, her professional instincts kick in anyway.
A bowl of scallion-oil noodles wins over her mother-in-law, and a promise to “bring your dad back” gets the genius kid on her side.
She only wants to be a couch potato, but somehow ends up the “neighborhood’s leading entrepreneur” in the family compound.
Then one day, her factory-director husband, long rumored to have “died in the line of duty,” suddenly returns.
He finds a completely transformed home, a son who’s put on weight, and his lazy wife surrounded by all the military wives in the compound...
Lu Jun falls into deep thought: Is my wife some kind of hidden treasure?
