The Cannon Fodder Stepmom of the 1970s: I Win Over the Champions with My Healing Hands

[Period setting + whirlwind marriage + stepmother + traditional Chinese medicine + adorable kids + face-slapping + doting romance + no goody-two-shoes heroine]

Su Ying woke up to find herself in a novel set in the 1970s, as a curvy side character whose fiancé had abandoned her and who was about to be married off to an abusive man.

What happened to the original character? She was tormented to death, becoming the most tragic background character in the whole book.

Su Ying had this to say: “If anyone wants to be a background character, they can do it themselves. I'm changing my fate!”

Her ex was trying to make her break off the engagement for the sake of his reborn white lotus? Fine, she was more than happy to!

Then she set her sights on the cold-faced devil everyone in the military district knew better than to cross: Gu Jingyao.

Wounded on the battlefield and suffering from old injuries, he had no one willing to care for the two orphans of his fallen comrades.

In a fitted red dress, Su Ying stood at his door, looking graceful and alluring. “Comrade Commander, I hear you're looking for a wife. I can treat your injuries and look after your kids. How about it?”

After their whirlwind wedding...

The two little terrors ran around the courtyard shouting, “We don't want a stepmom!”

Su Ying used one hand to place an acupuncture needle and bring down a child's fever, while the other simmered up a fragrant pot of bone soup.

The little terrors cried and changed their tune: “Mommy's the best! Waaaaah!”

The usually restrained, stern and decisive Commander Gu grabbed her waist in the middle of the night, his eyes red. “Wifey, who else did you give acupuncture to today? You're only allowed to give it to me.”

When the ex who had once pressured her to end their engagement came back in style with his reborn sweetheart to show off...

Su Ying was already the First Lady of the military district, with the Devil Commander and two adorable mom-obsessed kids at her side, and another baby on the way.

Gu Jingyao said coldly, “What are you looking at? She's my wife. Do you think you're worthy?”
