The main story is complete. Sweet readers, this novel will be going premium on August 21, 2023, starting from Chapter 16.
My next book is now available for pre-order: "Don't Make Me Get Down on My Knees and Beg You! [The 1980s]". The blurb is below.
This story was conceived in 2013 and born in 2015. It's quite old-school. The author is back to rebuild and finish it, so please be gentle.
Cang Miao transmigrates into a book, an old-school male-oriented wish-fulfillment novel.
In the story, the original owner's younger brother is an arrogant rich kid who stole the male lead's childhood sweetheart. Her older brother, who took control of the family at a young age, is a villain repeatedly subjected to face-slapping by the male lead. She and her younger sister are both targets for the male lead to win over.
The male lead gets her brother brutally killed in the street, gives her younger brother a filthy disease that leaves him wishing he were dead, and destroys their family.
Yet under these circumstances, the original owner and her sister both fall at the male lead's feet, spend the rest of their lives competing for his favor with his other women, and eventually die.
Cang Miao immediately made the [old person staring at phone on the subway] face.
When the male lead, a walking wish-fulfillment fantasy, repeatedly tried to win her over, she coldly rejected him: "You're a good person."
Notes:
(1) One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.
(2) That's right, this is the author's long-delayed child from 2015. It's an old-school Mary Sue story. I've come back to rescue it, and it definitely won't be perfect, but I'm working up the courage to finish it.
(3) It's bound to be a little childish. After all, it's been eight years. A Mary Sue story, ahem...
Pre-order blurb:
Lin Shuxin transmigrates into a period novel called Second Marriage: The Spicy Mom Spoils Her Family, where she becomes the horrible original wife who neglects her children and cheats on the male lead.
As soon as she opens her eyes, the original heroine shows up at her door, accusing her of shamelessly seducing a married man!
Lin Shuxin immediately rolls up her sleeves, ready to fight.
But the moment she steps outside, her body moves on its own, and she drops to her knees in a slide in front of the fiery heroine, Zhang Xiaozhi, who is blocking the door and yelling at her.
The "Get out of my way!" she meant to say comes out as, "How can you say that about me! I like and admire you so much, big sister. Please don't do this, sob..."
Lin Shuxin, helpless against her own body: ?
The heroine, stunned to be knelt to: Have you gone crazy?!
Lin Shuxin can't stop the tears streaming down her face. "I'm not crazy. It's my fault, big sister. If you don't believe me, I'll kowtow to you right now..."
Lin Shuxin is so furious at her own "bizarre" behavior that she can't catch her breath. Her eyes roll back, and she faints.
Before passing out, she thinks she sees a line of text float across the sky:
[Wasn't Lin Shuxin a notorious shrew in the book? This is it?]
Lin Shuxin screams inwardly: You're the shrew! Your whole family are shrews!
Later, after the misunderstanding is cleared up,
the heroine wakes in the middle of the night and gazes guiltily at the stars. "I really deserve to die!"

Shen Zeyu has a handsome face, but his naturally severe expression makes him look like a bad guy.
Even his mother says that when he doesn't smile, he looks like a gangster ready to kill someone at any moment.
Who would have thought that the man who gets questioned repeatedly at the train station, and whose name alone can stop a child from crying, is actually socially anxious?
Lately, though, he thinks he's lost his mind, because he seems able to see what his wife is thinking.
For instance, just now, after he showered and came into the room, he noticed the gaze of his wife, who usually doesn't dare look him in the eye, landing on him now and then.
Today, she had been secretly watching him the whole time. When he sneaked a glance back, he was shocked to see a panel pop up above her head, reading:
Husband, you only have abs, not muscles. Is something bothering you?
Shen Zeyu, already about to lie down, silently grabbed the quilt and covered himself.
When he looked again, the words had changed to:
It's the hottest days of summer, and my husband would rather hold the quilt than hold me. This is miserable. I wonder if my legs and my husband's waist are still meant to be together...
Shen Zeyu: ?!

Her adopted son gets into trouble. To establish her authority as a parent,
Lin Shuxin practices confronting him with a stern expression. "Do you think what you did was right?"
After rehearsing, she flings open the door, looking fierce.
But the moment she sees her adopted son, Shen Shi, tears start streaming down her face.
The harsh words on her tongue instantly turn into, "Don't be scared, baby. If you've done something wrong, we'll fix it, sob..."
Fourteen-year-old Shen Shi, aka Baby, stares at his sobbing adoptive mother, his scalp going numb:
Mom, I'm the one who did something wrong. I'll go confess right now, just please stop crying. You can get Dad to beat me instead...
A comment flashes before Lin Shuxin's eyes: [Why is this sobbing white lotus kind of cute? She's got me!]
Lin Shuxin is so furious that she can't stop crying that she hiccups.
Another comment flies by: [Damn! She can even cry herself into hiccups!]
Anger wells up in Lin Shuxin, and she wants to scream, "Get lost!"
But what comes out is, "Quack!"
Lin Shuxin wakes up in the middle of the night: What is this, some kind of lunacy?!
Reader's guide:
(1) The male and female leads are both virgins. The child is adopted.
(2) A seemingly tearful but actually short-tempered, lecherous female lead x a male lead who looks fierce and hard to approach but is actually socially anxious and reserved.

Due to life issues, the author has never had the energy to code. Ah, ah, I'm so sorry, friends. The author is adjusting his condition and slowly coming back to coding. He won't give up. Don't worry! When I recover, I will update it properly. By the way, my job has stabilized now, and I live quite close to the company.
When will it be updated? Author, I'm so tired of following your articles while you stop updating them.
Why hasn't the author updated it yet? -_-|| I've been waiting for a long time. Isn't it that I've given up? No, author! ! T_T555 wait for the update!
