The Eighties-Era Stepfather's Guide to Getting Rich [Transmigration]

[There are two upcoming stories in my author's profile, with details at the very bottom. If you're interested, please support them~]

Lu Ze woke up one day to discover he'd transmigrated from the apocalypse to the 1980s.

He'd also transmigrated into a book, becoming the foil to the male lead, Fu Shen.

They both lived in the same compound belonging to a machine factory, and both married women who had children from previous marriages.

The male lead was refined and gentle, a proper university graduate and people's teacher who doted on his wife and children.

Lu Ze, on the other hand, was a layabout who'd barely finished high school, unemployed and prone to beating his wife and children.

After confirming his situation, Lu Ze decided he should focus on making money first. Fortunately, his plant-based ability and storage space had come back with him.

And so...

A few days later, the streets and alleys were suddenly filled with fresh, high-quality fruit, and people rushed to buy it.

A few months later, seeds went into the ground, and strawberries kept sprouting harvest after harvest in the middle of winter. The whole country was in an uproar, and experts and scholars arrived in droves.

A few years later, experts and scholars in fruit, vegetable, and medicinal plants all declared in interviews that Lu Ze was the future of Huaguo!

Lu Ze happily counted the money he'd earned, then turned around and saw the wife and kids he'd gotten along with the house.

Ahem. He'd just look after them as if they were his younger sister and niece and nephew.

But his wife was capable and clever, and the two kids were adorable and well-behaved.

Later, Lu Ze: My wife and my son and daughter are so wonderful, I'm sold.

Upcoming story 1

The Spirit Medium of Xiangjiang [1990s]

Xu Qing, a master of metaphysics, transmigrated into a Hong Kong police station in the 1990s. The officer across from her slammed the table and roared, “Spirit medium, come clean! How did you kill them?”

A spirit medium? She was a respectable master of metaphysics! She couldn't put up with this at all.

Xu Qing picked up one of the victim's belongings, cast a divination, and said calmly, “The eyewitness is right across from the police station.”

The officer refused to believe her. “Nonsense! Lock her up!”

A few days later, the real killer was arrested, and the eyewitness was found right across from the police station.

The officer who'd shouted at her earlier now held out a little teacup and offered to serve her personally.

Xu Qing became famous overnight. From then on, tycoons, wealthy society wives, and famous stars came in droves.

The once-dilapidated, forgotten fortune-telling shop was now bustling with visitors. It was so popular that even the police station could barely get in line.

For the sake of earning merit, Xu Qing had no choice but to clean up the mess the original owner had left behind. A fake spirit medium had conned five clients, and every one of them had a problem. Xu Qing had to resolve each one.

The last one was a handsome, obedient little mute. Seeing the red thread of the Matchmaker connecting their hands, Xu Qing casually took him home.

Who could have guessed the little mute could cook, beat up thugs, and keep her warm in bed? He was good at absolutely everything, and, most importantly, he was extremely obedient and sweet.

Xu Qing couldn't help making a move on the obedient little mute. Only then did she understand: the red thread was truly connecting him to her, not to the original owner.

Upcoming story 2

The Handsome Stepmother of a Period-Drama Male Lead [Transmigration]

Jiang Wan woke up one day to discover she'd not only transmigrated into a book, but also had a fifteen-year-old son.

Her husband was busy with work, her in-laws lived in the capital, and her stepson attended boarding school. She lived alone in a big house, free as a bird and with plenty of money to spend. Life was simply wonderful.

Besides, her stepson was the male lead of a period novel, destined to achieve great things. She planned to cozy up to him whenever her new son came home for the weekend.

But when she saw him, she was stunned. In the middle of winter, he wore a shabby, faded cotton-padded jacket and cloth shoes, his face blue with cold.

Jiang Wan's vision went dark. I'm doomed!

Fortunately, she could still make things right. Summoning her strength, Jiang Wan got up, bought her stepson everything he needed, and sent him all kinds of delicious food and drink as bribes.

And so, at boarding school, Jiang Wan acquired dozens of “stepsons and stepdaughters.”

Later, the man who was hardly ever home returned and looked at his son, frowning. “Shouldn't you go on a diet?”

But three months later, his son said without expression, “Dad, shouldn't you go on a diet too?”

The man kept a straight face. “This is your mother's love. You're just jealous.”

Jiang Wan looked at the two of them bickering like children, but couldn't stop smiling.

She thought, this life was something she could never have achieved on her own. She was perfectly happy just making them a little food whenever she felt like it.
