Song Jinxia, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era about two daughters whose identities are switched at birth. She becomes the villain's cannon-fodder stepmother, and within ten chapters, she manages to get married, become pregnant, and suffer a difficult childbirth.
Song Jinxia: "...There's no way I'm getting killed off as cannon fodder."
This time, she's determined to live to a ripe old age.
When her biological father switches her college entrance exam results with those of her twin brother, she cuts ties with her family and moves away in one fell swoop.
Outsiders call her an ungrateful wretch and say she might as well have been a dog. She applauds them: wolves eat meat, dogs eat shit. Shit stinks and meat smells good, so you know which one's better.
Just as she's enjoying her life, the System trips her up. She can only gain the right to live in this world by taking on the identity of the villain's stepmother. A stepmother, huh? Then that's what she'll be!
With a sign-in System in hand, she had planned to enjoy a carefree life with both cats and dogs, teasing the little villain and eating meat with a handsome man. But plans can't keep up with change, and she's pushed forward whether she likes it or not.
At first, she treats and saves people to get rewards from the System.
Later, she gradually rediscovers why she became a doctor in the first place.
"I became the villain's stepmother at the System's request, just so I could survive."
"But now..."
"I am willing to use my medical skills as kindling, and let them burn into a spark that lights the way for every patient to find hope again."

Shen Huaizhi thought he was incapable of loving anyone. Then he met Song Jinxia and learned what love at first sight was, and what it meant to desire someone.
He wanted to marry her, wanted to be with her day and night.
It was as if the love etched into his bones and soul had awakened on the day she appeared.
--------Next book: The Cannon-Fodder Beauty of the Era--------
Lin Jinzhao cultivated diligently in the world of cultivation for a hundred years and finally reached Foundation Establishment.
The bad news: She failed her tribulation.
The good news: She died, then came back to life.
When she woke up again, she was reborn in the 1980s as the foil in a novel about two daughters whose identities were switched at birth. Her adoptive parents wanted to make it up to their biological daughter, Lin Tang, but couldn't bear to part with the girl they'd raised for eighteen years, so they kept both daughters.
Lin Tang had suffered in the countryside for eighteen years, yet remained kind, upright, and ambitious.
She had been pampered and wanted for nothing, but aside from her beauty, she was good for nothing.
Lin Tang got into university while she failed year after year. Lin Tang married the fiancé who was her social equal, while she ruined her life by marrying a hoodlum. Lin Tang had two children in three years and a happy marriage, while she miscarried year after year. The day she finally managed to give birth, she died of massive blood loss, and not long afterward, her husband killed himself out of grief.
The son she had nearly died bringing into the world became a jinx who brought calamity upon his entire family.
At the end of the story, Lin Tang's husband rode the wave of reform and opening-up to become a famous entrepreneur. Lin Tang became a wealthy wife everyone envied, their eldest son inherited the family business, and their second daughter entered show business and became a superstar.
Meanwhile, her child was locked in a basement from birth, becoming Lin Tang's blood bag, and never saw the light of day before dying.
Lin Jinzhao: "A plant that can't see the morning grass. Guess the word."
She knew how to cultivate. How could she possibly lose to a transmigrator from the modern world? Impossible. She could cultivate!
She inhaled, then inhaled again.
She took in a mouthful of dust and cold air.
The Blue Star's spiritual energy had run dry. A sign-in rebate System descended from the heavens. She would help make Huaxia strong, and the System would help her cultivate.
"Gave away five body-tempering potions. System rebate received: one Marrow-Cleansing Pill."
"Gave away blueprints for a personal computer. System rebate received: reached the first level of Qi Refining."
"Gave away blueprints for a heavy tank. System rebate received: one Howling Moon Sky Wolf cub."
It took Lin Jinzhao only five years to reach Foundation Establishment again. By the day she achieved the Golden Core, Huaxia had already risen to the top of the world.
Lin Jinzhao: "My nation's fortune grants me immortality, and I will help my country sweep across the eight directions."
Vast and mighty Huaxia, its rivers flow through the ages; rising like the sun, enduring like the moon.
