If one gets deleted, you can appeal. You can also check in the backend to see who deleted it. If the author deleted it, it will say, "Comment deleted by the author." Reader's Guide: 1. This is a period story set in an alternate world, with lots of invented details. Please don't nitpick. 2. The male and female leads are both virgins. The female lead returns to her own body from a past life. It's a case of marriage first, love later. Also, if you can't accept that Yuan Dan, who is unrelated to the leads by blood, was raised by the Tang family, and that the female lead treats him as her own child, then... I suggest you stop reading!!!! (Emphasis added, in bold and red) This is a story about a stepmother. If you dislike the idea of a stepmother being close to her stepson, please don't keep reading, so you don't spoil your mood. There are countless great books on Jinjiang. If you don't like this one's premise, just pick another and enjoy your reading. 3. This is a slice-of-life story, all about everyday family matters. There are no great riches or dramatic ups and downs. 4. Any personal attacks will be bounced right back! Bounce! Bounce! I'll send them hurtling back down the internet connection, doubled! People who spew nasty words will always get what's coming to them! Feng Yingyue had bad luck in everything ever since she was born. After dying while saving a student, she learned it was because of the many sins she'd committed in her previous life. By a twist of fate, she returned to that life. After receiving the memories, she realized that this was her wedding day. Her husband was a factory worker, and she was a country girl who had just married into his family. In theory, with such a good catch, she shouldn't have stood a chance. But the man was a divorcee with a child, and it seemed there was something wrong with him in that department, too... But back to the point. Becoming a stepmother in this life was one thing. What made Feng Yingyue's eyelid twitch was the child's name. Wasn't this the handsome, tragic male lead from the novel her coworker was reading? He was born in the county town, but had a wicked stepmother who abused him, often took the family's money back to her own family, then turned around and falsely accused him of stealing it. As a result, his family and everyone else saw him as a bad kid, and so on... In the story, no one knew why the male lead's father treated him with such indifference. Later, he even died in the line of duty. If it hadn't been for the apartment in the workers' compound, the stepmother would have kicked the boy out long ago! But staying didn't make his life any better. He was underfed and underdressed, and had to do plenty of chores. Still, he was the handsome, tragic male lead! He endured humiliation and hardship, eventually becoming a powerful tycoon. His stepmother, meanwhile, was sent off to some country to mine coal, where she died on a cold winter's day. The story described her as skin and bones when she died, looking utterly wretched. Looking at the little boy standing by the doorway, secretly sizing her up, his cheeks still round with baby fat, Feng Yingyue fell into deep thought... After learning that her ex-husband had remarried, Qiao Siyu sneaked back, feeling guilty. When her son came out of school, she pulled him aside and asked if his stepmother treated him well. When her son nodded, Qiao Siyu hesitated, then decided not to take him to find his biological father. His father hadn't even acknowledged the boy yet, and he'd have a better life with a family of factory workers. "Stepmothers are all bad. They won't treat you well. And your dad, too. Once he has a stepmother, you'll have a stepfather. You have to stay on your guard. When your mom has money, I'll come get you." Qiao Siyu clung to her son, tearfully giving him advice. Feng Yingyue blinked at a distance, then poked the tall man beside her. "I told you not to give the kid candy. Now you're a stepdad, huh?" The man caught her hand. His voice was low as he said, "He's losing his baby teeth." A screenshot of the original blurb from 2020 is saved in my profile.
