The Original Wife in a Stepmother Novel

Blurb below:

When the death countdown reaches 3,650 days (ten years), Xi Liao is young and still in school when she learns she’s the cannon-fodder first wife in a stepmother novel.

The female lead is her friend. After Xi Liao dies in childbirth, the friend moves into her home under the pretense of looking after her child. She and Xi Liao’s husband grow closer over time, and she and the daughter Xi Liao risked her life to bear become as close as mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Xi Liao is forgotten and buried in the dust of time.

Knowing what the future holds, Xi Liao glances at the boy who’s always hanging around her. “Never loved me?”

Then she looks at the future big shot standing in front of her and suddenly thinks: A future husband and child aren’t important. Making money is what matters!

This is the story of a heroine who learns what her fate will be ten years in the future and makes a different choice at the crossroads of destiny. At its heart, it’s a very old-fashioned story about love, redemption, and choice.

(Apologies to the lovely readers who came looking for a revenge story.)

Reading guide: Not sure if any of these are dealbreakers for you.

1. School story. The second male lead gets a lot of screen time. No dating before eighteen. A student’s job is to study hard.

2. A three-person relationship. The male lead will be faithful and respectful.

3. If there’s a pregnancy plot, the father will want the child. If he doesn’t, there won’t be a pregnancy plot. (Any pregnancy plot will be in the extras and won’t affect the main story.)

4. Thanks to all the lovely readers who point out errors. I’ll fix them in my next update.

5. ... (More dealbreakers may come up later.)
