Upcoming title 2: The Little Dragon's Mom Is the Female Lead of a Period Novel.
The little sugar-sweet Ye Wan transmigrated into a book, becoming the foil to the female lead of a stepmother novel.
Her cousin Ye Zao was hardworking and capable, never complaining. After getting married, she respected her in-laws, disciplined her stepchildren, and won over the whole family with love. In the end, she earned her husband's approval and heard the children call her Mom.
The original Ye Wan was lazy and fussy, always making trouble. After getting married, she fought with her in-laws and argued with her sisters-in-law, turning the whole family upside down. In an attempt to seduce her brother-in-law, she abandoned her husband and children, and ended up alone for the rest of her life.
Everyone compared her to Ye Zao. Ye Wan gave a haughty little snort. "If she likes waiting on people, that's her business. I like being waited on."
After all, her sweetness was off the charts, and she was just the right amount of spoiled.
So...
While Ye Zao worked herself to the bone to win her in-laws over, Ye Wan had already become the darling of her husband's entire family. The first and last pieces of meat at the dinner table were always saved for her.
While Ye Zao's stepchildren drove her to the point of vomiting blood three times a day, Ye Wan had already given birth to adorable twins, a boy and a girl. When she went out, her son carried the water and her daughter held her bag.
While Ye Zao fawned over her husband as if he were a pampered master, Ye Wan didn't have to lift a finger. She only had to sit there looking sweet and delicate, and her husband had eyes for no one but his little darling. He was so afraid of dropping her that he held her in his palm, so afraid of her melting that he kept her in his mouth.

Song Cheng was so honest that even a year after his wife moved in, he hadn't so much as touched her hand. After downing a couple of shots of liquor, he pushed open Ye Wan's door.
Ye Wan sat on the edge of the bed, annoyed at how slow he was. Tears in her eyes, she demanded, "Why isn't my bathwater ready yet? Don't you love me anymore? Men are all the same. Once they get what they want, they stop cherishing it. They only regret it after they lose it. Fine, I'll leave."
Song Cheng promptly fell to his knees and clung to Ye Wan's leg, begging and pleading, trying every possible way to comfort her.
Song Cheng: Even your bathwater is sweet, darling.
Ye Wan: Don't mind if your man is rough around the edges. He'll always treat you well.

Factory deputy manager Xia broke off his engagement and married Ye Zao. In a fit of pique, Ye Wan turned around and married Song Cheng, a temporary worker at the factory. She might not have the fate of a factory manager's wife, but she had all the same high-maintenance habits: the best food, the best clothes, and endless demands.
Everyone in the factory housing compound watched and waited. Song Cheng would divorce her sooner or later.
But not only did they stay married, their life kept getting better. Who cared about being a deputy manager? Neither Ye Wan nor Song Cheng did. Ye Wan liked good food, so Song Cheng opened a restaurant. Ye Wan liked nice clothes, so Song Cheng started a clothing factory...
Upcoming title 1: The Soft, Beautiful Beauty of the Seventies Island
Please add The Soft, Beautiful Beauty of the Seventies Island to your reading list. Kisses!
[Island life + food + everyday child-rearing. The female lead has the golden finger of being incredibly beautiful, unrivaled under heaven.]
Regiment Commander Zhou brought back a stunningly beautiful, delicate woman. Nobody on the island approved. Life here was too harsh. A man needed to marry a capable wife who knew how to manage a household. What good was beauty? It couldn't feed you, and you'd have to worry about the sea breeze blowing her away and diving into the ocean to fish her out.
Less than three days later...
"Who says good looks can't feed you? I saw my sister-in-law from a distance, and I felt like I could eat three bowls of rice."
"What's so good about the cafeteria's braised pork? The line is so long, and it still can't compare to the egg fried rice my sister-in-law makes!"
"The art troupe is coming to the island? A solo performance by their star? Who cares? Even one of my sister-in-law's lullabies sounds better!"
Zhou Gu couldn't take it anymore. He roared furiously, "All of you, get lost! This is my wife, mine, mine alone!"
Only I get to look at my beautiful wife!
Only I get to eat the food she makes... Wait, why should my wife do hard work like that? I'll do it!
Only I get to hear her sing... What are you singing lullabies for? Can't those little brats fall asleep on their own? She's my wife, mine!
*
Zhou Gu was nearly thirty and still didn't have a girlfriend. He wasn't worried, but his elderly mother was. She tricked him into coming home to meet a prospective bride by sending a telegram saying, "Mother critically ill." When Zhou Gu got home, he found his critically ill mother chasing a hen around the courtyard with a cleaver in hand.
Zhou Gu turned to leave and ran smack into Ruan Jiaojiao, who had been brought to the Zhou family by a matchmaker to meet him.
Ruan Jiaojiao covered her reddened forehead and looked up at him through teary eyes.
Zhou Gu's throat bobbed. He had a particular preference for soft, delicate young women, and Ruan Jiaojiao was as soft as a freshly emerged crescent moon, as if she could melt with a touch. She was exactly his type.
Zhou Gu suppressed the flutter in his heart and asked her, "Are you willing?"
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at him cautiously. "He's so scary. I'm afraid."
She was so scared she was about to cry. Her eyes red, she nodded and whispered, "I am."
The sight of her crying shattered his heart.
Zhou Gu: Don't cry. I'll give you my life.
Ruan Jiaojiao, as soft as milk candy, married Zhou Gu, whose temper was so explosive that he could be set off at the slightest touch. Everyone thought she'd be bullied to death. Who could have guessed the couple would have such a blissful life? Zhou Gu loved her to the bone, pampering her with the best food and drink. They had two children in their first year and five in three years. The five children doted on their mother right alongside their father. The island's women were so jealous of Ruan Jiaojiao, and its men were so jealous of Zhou Gu, they could die.
Upcoming title 2: The Little Dragon's Mom Is the Female Lead of a Period Novel
Su Zhizhi was held in a woman's arms, and something strange was put into her mouth. The woman said gently, "Our Zhizhi needs to eat more so she can grow up quickly."
Su Zhizhi clenched her tiny fists in protest. We noble members of the Red Dragon Clan don't eat humans... Huh? What is this? It smells so good~ Burp~"
Su Zhizhi ate a lot and grew quickly, developing better than ordinary human babies. When she was one, the woman taught her to say "Mama." Su Zhizhi turned her head awkwardly, then shyly declared her devotion: "Dear Princess, don't be afraid. Zhizhi will protect you!"
*
When Su Zhizhi was three, she followed her mother into the Gu family after her mother remarried. Her new father was far away, protecting the country. She would protect her princess in their new home.
Her new grandmother was mean to her mother. Su Zhizhi bravely stood in front of her, opened her mouth wide to try and scare her with a burst of flame, then remembered she was a human toddler and couldn't breathe fire. Su Zhizhi felt so wronged that golden tears rolled down her cheeks.
Seeing the little girl cry, her eyes red like a rabbit's, her little nose and cheeks flushed, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but soften her fierce expression with a hint of affection.
Her two older brothers were naughty and always made their mother angry. Su Zhizhi had seen her mother hide away and wipe her tears several times, breaking her heart. That was her princess! She behaved like a good, obedient human child every day just to make her princess happy. How dare they bully her princess?
Su Zhizhi couldn't stand it. One day she punched one brother, the next she kicked the other, and the day after that she bit them both. In just a few days, the brothers were as well-behaved as she was.
Tang Wanyi came back from the mountain with a basket of thorny branches on her back, ready to teach the two little brats a lesson out of love. As soon as she entered the courtyard, the boys hurried over. "Mom, leave this kind of hard work to us from now on. Please sit down and have some water. My brother and I will cook for you and our little sister."
Tang Wanyi: "..."
Her husband was becoming more and more considerate, her mother-in-law more and more kind, and her stepsons more and more well-behaved. Tang Wanyi decided she might not need to divorce after all.
Premise: Be a good person.
