A Seventies Stepmom's Daily Life Raising Kids

[There are two upcoming stories on my profile. Please give them your support! Their blurbs are below.]

Jiang Wan is reborn, returning to her youth in the 1970s. The first thing she does is seek out the man who loved her deeply.

In her previous life, they met after weathering many hardships. He pulled her out of the abyss, and once they were both past forty, they drew warmth from each other and faced life side by side.

So in this life, she ignores the fact that he is older and a widower with three children, and resolutely marries him, becoming their stepmother.

Now it's her turn to love him, and to raise his three children well. She doesn't expect them to become outstanding people; she only hopes they can all stay together as one happy family.

But this man stammers, blushing as he says, "We're not right for each other," and it makes her grit her teeth in anger.

Years later, the vindictive Jiang Wan looks up at him and teases, "Are we right for each other?"

The damn man puts on a show of calm during the day and answers, "We were made for each other." But at night, he obediently kneels on a washboard, washing her feet and apologizing.

Plenty of people gossip behind Jiang Wan's back, saying that becoming a stepmother at such a young age will wear her out early, and she won't even get any appreciation for it. But to their surprise, even past forty, her skin is so flawless that no one can guess her real age. She manages to build a successful business while falling in love and raising children.

Her husband treats her like a treasure and takes care of all the housework. Everyone in his unit knows he's a complete pushover when it comes to his wife.

Her eldest son is a promising young naval officer who treats her with great respect. He once said that although she is his stepmother, she is every bit as good as his real mother.

Her second son made a fortune in business after leaving home. He bought her a house in every provincial capital across the country, so she would have a home wherever she went, because she had once given him a warm home.

Her youngest daughter is a famous author on a green fiction website. She wrote a book titled Stepmother Jiang Wan, which begins, "If I didn't tell you, no one would ever know that Jiang Wan was my stepmother."

On Jiang Wan's sixtieth birthday, her family tells her to make a wish. But she thinks that although her life is ordinary, it is full of surprises, and her birthday wish has already come true.

A sweet, feel-good story about the heroine finding love, raising children, and building a business. Set in a fictional world. Please show it lots of support! Sending hearts and kisses!

Upcoming Story 1

The Fortune-Telling Auntie of Xiangjiang [1990s]

Xu Qing, a master of metaphysics, transmigrates to Hong Kong in the 1990s and finds herself at a police station. The officer across from her slams the table and roars, "Fortune-teller, come clean! How exactly did you kill them?"

Fortune-teller? She's a renowned master of metaphysics! This is absolutely intolerable.

Xu Qing picks up an item of evidence from the victim, casts a divination, and calmly says, "The eyewitness is right across from the police station."

The officer doesn't believe her at all. "Nonsense! Lock her up!"

A few days later, the real culprit is caught, and the eyewitness is found across from the police station.

The officer who had roared at her now serves her tea and is willing to wait on her hand and foot.

Xu Qing makes a name for herself overnight. From then on, tycoons, wealthy society wives, and popular movie stars flock to see her.

Her once dilapidated, neglected fortune-telling shop is now bustling with visitors. Even the police station can barely get an appointment.

For the sake of accruing merit, Xu Qing has no choice but to clean up the mess left behind by the original owner. The fake fortune-teller had deceived five clients, and every one of them had run into trouble. Xu Qing has to sort it all out, one by one.

The last client is a handsome, obedient little mute. Seeing the red string of fate linking their hands, Xu Qing casually takes him home.

Who would have guessed that the little mute can cook, beat up thugs, and keep her warm in bed? He's good at everything, and, most importantly, he's incredibly obedient and well-behaved.

Xu Qing can't resist making a move on the obedient little mute. That's when she finally understands: the red string is connected to her, not the original owner.

A powerful female master of metaphysics x an obedient, well-behaved mute man

Upcoming Story 2

The Handsome Stepmother of the Male Lead in a Period Novel [Transmigration]

Jiang Wan wakes up to discover that she has transmigrated into a book and has a fifteen-year-old son.

Her husband is busy with work, her in-laws live in the capital, and her stepson goes to boarding school. She lives alone in a big house, free to do as she pleases with plenty of money to spend. Life is just wonderful.

What's more, her stepson is the male lead of a period novel, destined to achieve great things. She plans to butter him up whenever he comes home for the weekend.

But when she sees her new son, she's stunned. In the middle of winter, he's wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket washed almost white and a pair of thin shoes. His face is blue with cold.

Jiang Wan nearly faints. I'm doomed!

Fortunately, there's still time to make things right. Jiang Wan forces herself to get up and buys her stepson everything he needs, then makes all kinds of delicious food and sends it to him as a bribe.

Before long, Jiang Wan has several dozen new "stepsons and stepdaughters" at the boarding school.

Later, her husband, who is rarely home, sees his son and can't help frowning. "Shouldn't you lose some weight?"

Three months later, his son replies expressionlessly, "Dad, shouldn't you lose some weight too?"

The man doesn't bat an eye. "This is your mom's love for me. You're just jealous."

Jiang Wan watches the two of them bicker like children, looking thoroughly exasperated, but she can't wipe the smile off her face.

She thinks about how the life she has now is one she could never have earned in a lifetime of hard work. She only makes them something to eat when she's in the mood, and she's perfectly happy with everything she has.
