Xia Ting transmigrates into the role of the stepmother in a story set in the 1970s, where the heroine's stepmother serves as her foil.
The heroine has a smooth path to success, becoming the richest person in the country and having two adorable babies.
The original character, the foil, lives in the countryside. She's beautiful but difficult, her husband is always busy with work and rarely comes home, and her stepson is taciturn. In the end, she abuses her stepson, turning him into a villain, then gets pregnant after an affair. When her mother-in-law discovers the truth, she jumps into a well and kills herself, becoming a laughingstock throughout the village. The original character never even meets her husband, the man she married, the entire time.
Xia Ting, who transmigrated into the story after already getting married: ???
She might as well end this marriage. Wouldn't it be better to start a business in the seventies and find herself a handsome man? She boarded a train that very night, determined to get a divorce.
Jiang Yanjue, a regiment commander, awakens to his past life and foresees everything that will happen. He decides to bring his wife back to his side and make sure she never has to suffer or work herself to the bone again.
Before he can set out, a young woman shows up at his door. She's fair-skinned and beautiful, with long legs, watery almond eyes, and a voice as sweet as candy.
Xia Ting looks at Jiang Yan, who doesn't recognize her, and curses the bastard in her heart. Then she lowers her eyes and says pitifully, "I came all this way to the army base to get a divorce. My husband is all bluster and no substance. He won't even spend money on me, and he's useless in every other way, too. I'm so young, but I might as well be a widow. I've wasted the best years of my life on him. Please help me get justice and get this marriage dissolved."
He won't give her money, and she's as good as a widow? Jiang Yan thinks. What kind of man neglects his beautiful wife? What a bastard.
Before he can voice his righteous indignation, the young woman gently adds, "My husband's surname is Jiang. His name is Jiang Yan."
Jiang Yan: ???
So the bastard is me???
Later, while the heroine is busy taking care of her husband and stepson, Jiang Yan gets kicked out of the house with his pillow in his arms.
While the heroine, pregnant, is busy starting a business, Jiang Yan gives Xia Ting three factories.
While the heroine is in difficult labor, Jiang Yan, in the bed next to hers, tears up because Xia Ting is suffering from morning sickness.
Xia Ting: Hah, feel bad for me? Then let's get divorced!
Jiang Yan: ...The doctor wants to know why I'm kneeling beside the bed.
By now, the hero finally arrives empty-handed. The heroine gets so angry she smashes a bowl. Damn it, which one of us is supposed to be the foil here?
After transmigrating, Xia Ting has only one goal: Keep men out of her heart, and she'll have the strength to draw her sword. Get divorced, make money, and find a younger man to cure what ails her!
But two obstacles get in the way of her divorce:
1. Her stepson respectfully serves her tea and water, and absolutely refuses to turn evil.
2. Her husband is too good in bed.

Oh my God, the more I watch, the more speechless I am. It's like this when I meet him. He's a soldier at least. He's not that disgusting. He's so shameless. The heroine even said she wanted a divorce but she still doesn't let go. Isn't it just that she looks fresh and beautiful? Her own mother is abusive and irresponsible. I haven't been back for so long in my previous life. You can't blame others for having sex. You're only 18 years old. It's just a little girl.
For the position of Captain Jiang Yan, does the company allocate a driver? Can I have an aunt at home? It was only 1979, and I felt that Jiang Yan had a lot of money, including those jewelry and watches, buying 4 at once. I felt that his spending style was like that of a contemporary boss, not like the soldiers of the 1970s! It's not that it's wrong to buy something for my wife, it just doesn't feel right for the times!
The heroine only learned some nursing knowledge when she was in college. How dare you go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to become a doctor? Are you the author who doesn't take human life seriously?
Were there diamond rings in the 1970s????
Does the heroine rely on spiritual springs to treat people's illnesses? Or can the setting be changed so that the heroine was a medical graduate before she traveled through time, so it would not be good to just rely on the spiritual spring to understand nothing? And would she really not be arrested and sectioned for study?
The heroine traveled back in time and studied finance. Now she still works in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. In the future, she will also open a beauty salon based on the spiritual spring. The golden finger you prescribed to the heroine must be too big, which is a bit outrageous.
You use the effect of spiritual spring to remove birthmarks, but ordinary medicine is useless, how can you mass-produce it? Could it be that the heroine has always provided medicine with the effect of spiritual springs for childbirth? I'm a little speechless... And I said before that the heroine just learned some nursing knowledge, not a professional one, and she was taken to the hospital just because of Lingquan. I really took it.
It's a miracle that the heroine wasn't arrested and studied.
It doesn't matter that the age difference between the male and female protagonists is so big. The female protagonist is really brave. She uses the spiritual spring to treat birthmarks without fear of being arrested and sliced for study. Moreover, the male protagonist is quite oily, not as refreshing as Fang Jianchen.
Are you sure this is a chronicle? I thought it was Ba Zongwen
