The Short-Lived Birth Mother in a Stepmom Story

A major lottery in the Jinjiang System somehow awakened Feng Miao's memories of her past life. It turned out she was living in a 1970s novel about a stepmother. The male lead was a sent-down youth with a shocking background, the female lead was a transmigrated woman with a discerning eye, and she was the male lead's short-lived ex-wife, who appeared only in the background of Chapter One. In the original story, Feng Miao married the male lead and had three children in four years. She died in difficult childbirth while delivering the third. With no other choice, the male lead waited until after her death and the end of the mourning period, then hurriedly married the female lead through a matchmaker and left his three children in her care. With her beauty and kindness, intelligence and resilience, the female lead won over the three brats and raised each of them into a big shot. She also won the male lead's heart. He loved her, his sons respected her, and no one ever brought up his ex-wife, their biological mother, again. The family lived happily ever after. Feng Miao: ...Stay away from me! She couldn't wait another second. Before she was completely dead, before she gave birth to the third child, she had to bundle the male lead up and deliver him to the female lead. She didn't want that dog of a man. If the female lead loved being a stepmother so much, they could have three kids in four years themselves. Fight over a man? Reform the male lead? Sorry, she didn't have time for that. Restore lost embroidery techniques; Pass on forgotten weaving crafts; Save a silk civilization on the verge of vanishing; Build a beautiful life, and become a renowned archaeology expert. As a former female official in charge of textiles at the Shang Gong Bureau, wasn't pursuing a career far more rewarding? As for the male lead, who clung desperately to her leg and refused to let go, he was forced to embark on the path of self-improvement. A few friendly reminders: 1. A realistic slice-of-life farming story about family and everyday life. The female lead raises children and builds her career. It's a slow burn, and her career storyline begins in Chapter 24. 2. The male lead won't change. He is presumed guilty unless proven innocent, but the plot of the original novel is only the original novel. He hasn't done anything yet. Theme: Live in the present
