The main story is complete. A 13-year age gap, a sweet romance in the guise of a period novel.

Blurb: After You Ming became a renowned physicist and made immense contributions to the development of physics in China, a TV station wanted to interview him about his life.

A reporter from one of the stations asked, "Professor You, what is the most memorable thing that has happened in your life?"

The man on camera did not answer right away. He seemed lost in thought. A moment later, he smiled, and his deep-set eyes softened.

He said, "What I remember most is that thirty years ago, a little girl barged into my life without a second thought. After that, she brought me out of the darkness and into the light, letting me feel the warmth of the world again. You could say that without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."

Coming soon: The Female Lead's Foil in a Siheyuan Period Novel

Li Jiajia dreamed that she had transmigrated into a book as the foil to its female lead.

The original owner envied the female lead for marrying into the city and living a good life. She schemed her way into marrying the male supporting character, who lived in the same crowded compound, and became a foil to the female lead's family.

The female lead, Sun Qiuping, was gentle and virtuous. She worked hard to manage the household, respected her mother-in-law, and cared for her stepchildren. She kept the household running like clockwork, leaving the male lead, Wang Xudong, free to focus on his career and steadily climb the ladder. She was known far and wide as a virtuous wife throughout the neighborhood.

By contrast, she was spoiled, lazy, and petty. She even cheated while her husband was away on a business trip. After reporting him when he was sent down to the countryside, she ran off with all his money and another man. In the end, her fate was tragic, a stark contrast to the female lead's gentleness and virtue.

The male lead's family was happy after he married, and his career flourished. He was promoted and grew rich. But what about her poor husband? Not only was he sent down because of his wife's outrageous behavior, his only grandmother was angered to death, the male lead took his house, and his work became a stepping stone to the male lead's success!

Li Jiajia, who had transmigrated into the story: ...What cheating? Reporting him? Why would anyone do that? Her new husband is fair-skinned, handsome, and long-legged, with no living parents, a spacious home, a good job, and a high salary. A long-term meal ticket this good is obviously worth holding on to!

*

In her previous life, Li Jiajia married Wang Xudong, a city worker, and became a stepmother to his two children. Everyone in the village laughed at her for being foolish. Being a stepmother was no easy task, and she was in for a hard time!

But later, when Li Jiajia was over fifty, she still looked beautiful and youthful, more like she was in her early forties.

Wang Xudong became a renowned engineer in An Province and treated Li Jiajia like a queen. His stepchildren, who became outstanding in their own fields, also loved and respected their stepmother.

Sun Qiuping, who had been jealous of Li Jiajia since childhood, was red with envy.

Why was Li Jiajia so lucky? Why had she enjoyed a good life ever since she was a child?

So the first thing Sun Qiuping did after being reborn was hire a matchmaker and marry Wang Xudong herself.

How hard could being a stepmother be?

In this life, the rich husband would be hers! So would the impressive stepchildren!

When Sun Qiuping heard that Li Jiajia was going to marry Ji Zhengdong, an orphan from the compound who was deep in debt, she could barely keep from laughing aloud.

But why were Li Jiajia and her husband doing better and better, growing more and more devoted to each other, while Li Jiajia remained just as spoiled and pampered?

And look at herself. Her husband lay snoring in bed, her stepchildren pelted her with stones and called her a wicked stepmother, while her mother-in-law watched with a smile and said nothing.

Squatting by the doorway to wash clothes, Sun Qiuping gritted her teeth. Why wasn't her husband getting promoted? Why was her stepson still such a brat?

Why was Li Jiajia still so lucky?

Why?!
