The Best Stepmother in the 1980S

[Pre-release: Willows in a Captivating Breeze / Passionate Kisses at Dusk, blurb below] After her cousin passed away, she had been a widow for only a year when she was forced to marry her cousin's husband and become a stepmother to her nephew. Bitter and resentful, she ignored her cousin's son and the younger boy born later, lavishing all her affection on the posthumous child until he grew into an ungrateful wretch. After she accidentally caused the deaths of the two children while trying to save the ungrateful wretch, that man finally threw her out. Everyone in and around the residential compound despised her for the rest of her life. Only when she was gravely ill did she learn that her uncle's family had plotted everything. They had switched her cousin and her babies at the hospital, right after the birth! Overwhelmed with regret, Dong Xiaoqing tumbled headfirst down the stairs... When she woke, she was on a train to the provincial capital, having just registered her marriage, and she was leaning against the shoulder of the man she'd feared her entire life, her cousin's husband! Looking at the ungrateful wretch bawling his eyes out and her "stepson" carefully trying to please her, she decided to use both carrots and sticks! The "stepson" would get the carrots, and the ungrateful wretch the sticks! Before she knew it, she had become the best stepmother around. As for that man with a face like the King of Hell... Her hands trembling, she threw her arms around him. She was still scared to death of him, but if she didn't hold him... what would happen to their younger son? Delicate heroine & cold-faced King of Hell Content warnings: 1. There is definitely a reason the babies were switched. Whether it's the main character or the author who's got something wrong with their head, just take a relaxed approach to reading. If you can't accept it, click away~ 2. In her past life, the heroine was uneducated and weak. When she's reborn, she still doesn't have much perspective at first. She's selfish and only wants to dote on "her own" child, but she does not mistreat the children! She does not mistreat the children! She does not mistreat the children! She'll gradually grow stronger, but she won't become a powerful career woman~ Pre-release: Jade Falling onto a Clear Plate [Book Transmigration] / I'm Not a Hero --Other completed works-- Technical-Savvy Side Consort / Survival Instincts in the Qing Dynasty / The Rebirth of a Mighty Princess Consort / Educated Youth in Northeast China in the Seventies / The Long Road Out of the Spotlight --Blurb for Willows in a Captivating Breeze-- Sixteen-year-old Liu Yue became the stepdaughter of Seventh Master Yan's maternal uncle in Dingcheng. At nineteen, Liu Yue was set up and ended up in Seventh Master Yan's bed. He kicked her out of it, leaving her a sickly invalid. At twenty, Liu Yue's mother and stepfather died in a car accident. Seventh Master Yan put an end to the infighting in the Yan family of Dingcheng and became Seventh Lord Yan, a man no one dared provoke. She was brought into the Yan family and became Seventh Lord Yan's well-known mistress. Ten years later, when he was preparing to marry, she was sent away. She never got to enjoy the comfortable, wealthy life Seventh Lord Yan had arranged for her. She died of illness one week before his grand wedding of the century. Then thirty-year-old Liu Yue was reborn at sixteen, as if it had all been a dream. This time, when she visited the Yan family, Liu Yue no longer foolishly put herself in front of her "cousin." She remembered how her father had held her hand before he died and said, "I hope you can live up to your name, strong and steady." She shouldn't have forgotten that in her past life. Theme:
