Reborn as My Nemesis's Mother [The 1980s]

After a car accident, Guan Zhiliang woke up in the 1980s as the only delicate little flower among a whole courtyard full of rowdy boys.

She was the apple of everyone's eye.

Countless families wanted to become related to hers through marriage.

Yet she fell for the son of Liu Meijuan, a woman with a terrible reputation. He had nothing but a handsome face.

Liu Meijuan had been notorious for her many affairs when she was young. People said that a crooked tree bore crooked fruit, so her son had to be rotten too.

But no one expected that five years later, the mother and son would both turn their lives around: one would become the wife of an overseas Chinese billionaire, and the other a world-famous scholar returning from abroad.

Guan Zhiliang never expected she'd become the billionaire's daughter-in-law, the scholar's wife, and her nemesis's mother.

Guan Zhiliang: Who knew I was the one who gave birth to this thing...

A recommendation for my friend's new novel, Hard to Handle, by Youxi

1.

The Huo family of Beicheng is a family of scholars.

As the Huo family's third young lady, Huo Xiang was poised and refined, gentle and elegant.

She was renowned in high society as the perfect young lady.

One day, photos of Huo Xiang's fiance, Qin Cheng, kissing a popular young actress made the headlines, causing an uproar.

Everyone in their circle was outraged on behalf of the Huo family, cursing the Qin family for picking on someone they thought was an easy target. Given Huo Xiang's gentle nature, surely she wouldn't make a scene.

Even Qin Cheng thought so. He confidently told his friends that a few sweet words would smooth things over.

But no one expected Huo Xiang to break off the engagement that very day, then publicly sponsor a handsome young man from a poor family.

2.

By chance, Huo Xiang ended up sponsoring an impoverished university student.

Though he came from a poor family, he was humble without being servile, courteous and composed, like a rose growing between the stones, flourishing against all odds.

Thinking his life must be difficult, she secretly continued helping him.

That was until the head of Beicheng's most powerful family, the Bo family, returned at a banquet.

Huo Xiang's father took her to meet him.

The moment she saw that familiar face, Huo Xiang froze. Then, following their seniority, she said, "Uncle."

Her voice was soft.

He gave a quiet response and brushed past as if by chance. But just as their shoulders touched, he turned his head and chuckled, "Why aren't you calling me 'stinky kid' today?"

3.

Qin Cheng never imagined that his sweet, kind girlfriend was actually a two-faced, calculating woman who treated people according to their status.

Remembering how good Huo Xiang had been to him, he regretted everything and waited downstairs, hoping to get back together.

But the ring on her left ring finger burned his eyes. His own eyes reddening, he asked, "Who is he?"

A tall figure stepped up behind Huo Xiang and wrapped her in his embrace, holding her hand. Their rings gleamed in the moonlight.

The man's cool eyes held a fierce possessiveness as he said, "Looks good, doesn't it? I bought it for your aunt."
