The Stepmother in the Era Novel Remarries and Strikes It Rich

Zhuang Ling transmigrates into a period novel as the heroine, a stepmother.

In the book, the original heroine is tricked into marrying a twice-married man with two children. After the wedding, her wicked mother-in-law, awful sister-in-law, and badly behaved stepchildren take turns bullying her. She still works tirelessly for the family, devoting her entire life to them.

In the end, the original heroine is bedridden with a serious illness. The stepdaughter she raised with all her heart personally pulls out her oxygen tube, claiming she's doing it to ease her suffering.

Zhuang Ling: Divorce. I have to get a divorce.

Whoever wants to be a stepmother can do it.

There's no way I'm doing it.

Qi Xiaoxiao is reborn. After her rebirth, she quickly drives away the stepmother who has just moved in, then persuades her own mother to remarry her father, waiting for him to make his fortune just like he did in her previous life.

When Qi Xiaoxiao hears that her former stepmother has remarried her maternal uncle, she is overjoyed. In her previous life, the man left to work elsewhere and never came back. Knowing what's to come, Qi Xiaoxiao waits to watch her former stepmother make a fool of herself.

But as she waits, her former stepmother's life just keeps getting better. Her business is booming, and half the village becomes millionaires.

And the maternal uncle who was supposed to die young, far from home, becomes a famous entrepreneur.

The only one who fails to make money and ends up drowning in debt is the father she had placed all her hopes in.

Blurb:

When Wen Ruyi wakes up, she has traveled to the 1970s, where there's never enough food or warm clothes. Her parents have just died, and her brother and sister-in-law have bundled her off to live with her fiancé's family.

Her fiancé is busy with official duties, so he sends someone to take her from the train station to the large courtyard house he rented in advance.

On her first night there, Wen Ruyi discovers that this is a world formed from a mashup of multiple novels, and that this one little courtyard is home to numerous heroines from period novels.

Wen Ruyi grabs a little stool and settles in to enjoy the gossip. What she doesn't know is that every heroine can hear her thoughts.

In the east wing lives the heroine of a revenge story. After three years of marriage, her mother-in-law calls her a barren hen.

Wen Ruyi: [If your son can't have children, then even if he marries a golden phoenix, she still won't lay eggs.]

The revenge-story heroine immediately drags her mama's-boy husband to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce. When she returns, she gives Wen Ruyi her family's heirloom jade bangle.

In the west wing lives the heroine of a food story, who still works at a state-run restaurant. A customer has food poisoning from a dish, and the heroine is about to face a massive fine.

Wen Ruyi: [The ingredients the restaurant bought were bad. What difference does it make who cooked them?]

After clearing her name, the food-story heroine establishes herself at the restaurant and spends her entire paycheck treating Wen Ruyi to special meals.

In the east side room lives the heroine of a substitute romance, who has just learned that she's merely a stand-in for her boyfriend's beloved first love.

Wen Ruyi: [The two of them look so alike. Are you sure you shouldn't get a paternity test?]

The future real-estate tycoon dumps her boyfriend, finds her biological parents, and treats Wen Ruyi as her best friend.

In the west side room lives the heroine of a groveling romance...

Later, the heroines discover one another's existence.

The famous designer flashes her best-friend ring. "I was the first to meet Ruyi."

The private-dining restaurant owner boasts, "Ruyi only eats my cooking. She won't eat anyone else's."

The real-estate tycoon, now a successful entrepreneur, sneers, "There's an entire apartment building for Ruyi in my new development."

Watching all those entrepreneurs argue over who Wen Ruyi cares about most, her newly confirmed fiancé falls into deep thought. It seems he has quite a few rivals in love.
