An Eighties Slacker Stepmom, Raising Kids and Living the Good Life

[Period drama + adorable kids + goofy heroine + light comedy + unconventional feel-good story + no saintly self-sacrifice]

In her previous life, Su Tiantian was a carefree little foodie whose only motto in life was four words: eat well and lie flat.

After falling asleep, she woke up in the 1980s as the original wife of a cannon-fodder character with the same name. She had a nasty mother-in-law and sister-in-law to deal with, two sweet little twins who were mistreated, and a cold, aloof soldier ex-husband who made the whole village tremble.

The original heroine’s script: chase after her ex-husband in tears, get manipulated by the nasties, and meet a tragic end.

Su Tiantian’s script: Chase a man? Chase a hammer! What handsome man can compare to the aroma of red-braised pork?

And so...

She tossed out the script about chasing her husband on the spot and sprawled on the kang, shamelessly embracing her lazy life.

Her nasty mother-in-law came looking for trouble? Su Tiantian spouted nonsense with a straight face until the woman doubted her own sanity.

The two mistreated little cuties? She spoiled them until they were the apple of her eye.

Making money? With her eyes closed, she resold odds and ends, made snacks, and opened a little shop, quietly growing rich.

Everyone in the village said Su Tiantian had gone crazy and lost her mind.

Only her cold, aloof ex-husband, Gu Changchuan, stood there with an increasingly strange look in his eyes...

Why had his wife stopped chasing him?

Why did his wife enjoy her meals so much every day?

Why was his wife having so much fun slacking off with his kids?

The steely military officer went from cold indifference, to finding excuses to rush home every day, to squatting by the door, consumed by jealousy...

Su Tiantian gnawed on a pig's trotter and shot him a sideways glance. "Comrade Gu, what are you blocking my doorway for?"

Gu Changchuan's face darkened, and his voice turned hard. "...Come home."

Su Tiantian: ??? Wasn't this the home you didn't want?
