[My upcoming novels, The Xiangjiang Tycoon's Short-Lived Ex-Wife and Raising Kids in the 1970s, are open for follows!]
Although her mother had died young and her father was cold toward her, Ye Min felt that she had been fairly lucky.
Born in the late 1940s, she had lived to see the founding of her country and been able to attend school, successfully finishing junior high.
Although she couldn't continue her education after graduating, she had conveniently avoided being sent to the countryside and found a steady job.
After working for five years, she was introduced to Meng Cheng, a tall, handsome, promising young officer, and married him.
Though they spent little time together after marriage, Meng Cheng had no bad habits and handed over his entire monthly salary. Their relationship was fairly harmonious.
In their first year of marriage, they had a son. In their first year living with the army, Ye Min gave birth to a daughter. She had one of each, as they say.
So Ye Min was fairly satisfied with her life, until the third day after giving birth to her daughter, when she suddenly saw a comment float by:
[Auntie, wake up! Your daughter is about to be switched at birth!]
*
After binding to the Comment System, Ye Min learned that her daughter was the heroine of a period novel: a fake heiress switched at birth with the villainess, destined for a life of misery.
And Ye Min was the heroine's biological mother, who had carefully raised the real heiress for over a decade only to end up as a sucker.
But the switch wasn't an accident. The real heiress's parents came from a poor background and feared their daughter would suffer with them, so they secretly switched the babies at the hospital.
So while the real heiress drank malted milk, the fake heiress's rice gruel didn't even have rice in it;
while the real heiress wore fine dacron, the fake heiress's clothes were covered in patches;
while the real heiress studied for the college entrance exams without a care, the fake heiress was married off by her adoptive parents to a man who beat her;
then, when the real heiress's wealthy grandfather returned from abroad to find her, the real heiress's parents drove the fake heiress back in a car and said the babies had been switched at birth.
Ye Min: "Oh, to hell with that!"
Note: I've adjusted the premise. The original was told from the adult fake heiress's point of view; it's now told from her biological mother's point of view.
Please follow my upcoming novels!
The Xiangjiang Tycoon's Short-Lived Ex-Wife
When Wen Yue woke up, she had transmigrated into a period novel set in Xiangjiang as the male lead's ex-wife, and received three pieces of good news and three pieces of bad news.
Good news, first: Her father is the current richest man in Xiangjiang, and her husband is the next one.
Bad news, first: The original owner was a romantic by nature. She looked down on her husband, a money-making machine from a humble background who was obsessed with earning money. Miserable after marrying him, she managed to die of unhappiness within three years.
Wen Yue inherited the original owner's lifespan, and when she transmigrated, there was only one month left until their third wedding anniversary.
Good news, second: During the transmigration, she bound to a gossip System. Check in with a gossip subject to get juicy secrets; successfully uncover the gossip and you gain lifespan.
Bad news, second: Gossiping by herself isn't enough. She has to get other people gossiping with her. The more people join in, the longer she can live.
Good news, third: Her family is wealthy, so she can easily check in with rich gossip subjects and uncover their juiciest secrets. She also owns a second-rate gossip magazine with all the necessary equipment and staff.
Bad news, third: After she spills all those rich people's secrets, how can she avoid being retaliated against by them?
Urgent! Waiting for an answer online!

As the male lead of an achievement-driven period novel, Yi Huai's life can be divided into two stages:
Before he met Wen Yue, he earned money to satisfy himself.
After he met Wen Yue, he earned money to hold on to his position as the richest man and make anyone who wanted to retaliate against her think twice.

Xiangjiang's newspaper industry had always flourished, and entertainment papers were known for seeking attention with sensational headlines, without caring what happened to the people involved. The Xiangjiang Entertainment Tabloid had been a nobody among them, but then burst onto the scene overnight, exposing one juicy scandal after another:
"Shocking! Xiangjiang's Richest Man Has a Green Meadow Over His Head, and the Reason Is..."
"Shocking! The Shipbuilding Tycoon's Eldest Son Isn't His, and the Reason Is..."
"Shocking! Hotel Tycoon Xu Changrong Appears to Be a Charitable Philanthropist, But Behind Closed Doors He's..."
#Wen Yue: At first, I just wanted to survive. Later, I became a newspaper tycoon#
#How sensational headlines took over Xiangjiang's newspaper industry#
#When I get ruthless, I don't even spare my own father#
Raising Kids in the 1970s
Only after her memories of her past life awakened did Yu Lan learn that she had transmigrated into a business-themed period novel.
But she was neither the heroine nor the villainess. She was the early-deceased biological mother of the story's big bad.
In the novel, her son was a genius, but he lost his mother at four and his father at five. With no one to guide him, he gradually went astray and eventually became the mastermind villain: refined and elegant on the outside, dark and deranged within.
Looking at her son, who wouldn't turn four for another two months, Yu Lan sucked in a sharp breath!
*
Fortunately, after awakening, Yu Lan bound to a blind-box System. Do a good deed and you can open a blind box.
The contents were all kinds of strange things: life-extending pills that could lengthen your lifespan, an iron body that made you invulnerable to blades and bullets, as well as eggs, pork, malted milk, watches, televisions, bicycles...
The blind-box System could also bind to family members. When someone else did a good deed, she could open a blind box. The higher their corruption value, the greater the odds of getting something good when they did a good deed.
Yu Lan immediately chose to bind it. And so:
Yu Lan casually helped up an old woman who had fallen, and the blind box contained an ounce of lean pork;
Lu Xiao saved several lives on a mission, and the blind box contained a three-year life-extending pill;
Lu Chen casually comforted a classmate who was upset, and the blind box contained a watch.
Yu Lan: ?!!
*
After casually comforting an upset classmate, Lu Chen thought his mother was getting stranger and stranger. Not only did she keep telling him to do a good deed every day, she also seemed to think he could do anything.
For example, Uncle Liu's radio broke, and Mom asked if he could go fix it.
Then Auntie Zhang's electric fan broke, and Mom asked him to take a look.
But he was only three years old! He didn't even know how to read. How could he fix those things?
Yu Lan blinked. "But in the original story, you could fix radios at four and build bicycles at five. You were a child prodigy!"
Theme: Live well and keep striving every day.
I knew when watching the plot that Aiyun and her cousin had a scene! ! ! ! When will my wife open the book Cousins!
As for the children of the secret agents, they probably won't have a good end either. If it weren't for them, the heroine's children wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
"Mr. Dong's hair has turned completely gray" is a big bug for the author~
"Mr. Dong's hair has completely turned white." "Grey hair" refers to hair that is either black or white, so the description "completely gray" is weird.
It would be even better if the kid from the house where I changed my child mentioned that he was not good at all [dog head]
Seeing that the relationship between Ye Min and Qian Xiaoyun is so good, I can't help but pretend to be Song Ying and Huang Ling who live in an alley [laughing and crying]
