In her past life, everyone in the village said Jiang Qiao had landed on her feet.

A girl from the countryside, she had married into a fine family like the Gu family.

Her mother-in-law was highly educated and even offered to help raise her child.

Her husband was a respected soldier, drawing a state salary and allowances, and he treated Jiang Qiao with great care.

But only Jiang Qiao knew the truth: her mother-in-law wouldn't let her raise the child because she thought Jiang Qiao was uneducated and looked down on her.

Her husband did his duty by her, but in truth, he didn't love her either.

In her past life, she did everything she could to win her mother-in-law's approval, always lowering herself and swallowing her pride.

She didn't dare say a word when the baby she had carried for ten months was taken away.

But in the end, her mother-in-law still didn't like her,

and the child she had treasured above all was raised into a rude, unlikable brat who wouldn't even call her Mom.

Reborn, Jiang Qiao refuses to put up with it anymore.

So what if she's a girl from the countryside?

She has two good hands, two good feet, and dreams of her own. She can live well and raise a child without relying on a man.

She won't serve a mother-in-law who dislikes her, and she's kicking her husband, who doesn't love her, right out the door.

On the very first day after waking up, she has a huge fight with her mother-in-law and takes the child back to raise herself.

Then she sends a message to Gu Lincheng.

"Urgent matter. Come back at once."

When Gu Lincheng returns, she gives him two choices:

Either she takes the child with him to the island military base, he hands over his entire salary and allowances to her, they raise the child themselves from now on without his mother interfering, and he supports whatever she wants to do without meddling.

Or they get divorced, and she takes the child back to her hometown in the countryside. From then on, they go their separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.

She knows it's hard to get stationed at the island base, and Gu Lincheng doesn't love her at all. With so many unreasonable demands, plus his mother standing between them, he's sure to choose divorce.

But to her surprise, as soon as Gu Lincheng hears her terms, he rushes to submit an application to the army, brings her to the island, and hands over all the salary and allowances he's already saved up, his eyes shining as if he'd been waiting for her to say exactly this.

"You can have all the money. I'll support whatever you want to do. But don't even think about divorce."

Blurb:

Wang Yuejiao has just seen her husband off on the train when she suddenly discovers that she is the early-death biological mother in a stepmother-era novel.

Not long after she dies, Xiao Mingjun will find new love and marry a woman named Fang Lanlan.

Her mother-in-law, who has never liked her, will treat that woman with great care,

and in the future, her son will cuddle up to Fang Lanlan and call her "Mom."

Wang Yuejiao is so furious she can't think straight. She's done with this.

If she's going to die before the New Year, why keep working herself to the bone, saving up money and worrying about everything?

Wouldn't it all just end up benefiting someone else? Whatever happens, happens.

She takes out every bit of money she's saved over the last few years. Today she buys a chicken, tomorrow a fish,

and every few days she heads to the department store to buy some cosmetics and pretty clothes.

She makes herself look as beautiful as she possibly can.

Her stingy mother-in-law is heartbroken: "You good-for-nothing spendthrift! Are you just going to stop living your life?"

Wang Yuejiao: "Exactly. I'm going to die, so what's the point of living carefully?"

When Xiao Mingjun returns from the capital, he finds his wife has become a completely different person.

She no longer does the housework, and spends every day dressed like a celestial beauty.

Most importantly, all the young men at the factory think she's an unmarried girl and line up to pursue her!

Xiao Mingjun's face turns black as the bottom of a wok. He corners her inside and hands over every last cent he's earned.

"You can spend money, but you can't go around tempting men. Understand?"

Fang Lanlan transmigrates with the plot in hand. She knows she's the heroine,

and that once Xiao Mingjun's wife dies, he'll marry her just as the story says and earn piles of money for her to spend.

But she waits and waits, until Wang Yuejiao becomes the factory's most beautiful woman.

She waits and waits, until Xiao Mingjun makes a fortune.

By the time even the flowers have wilted, Wang Yuejiao hasn't died at all. She's even pregnant with twins for her second pregnancy.

Coming soon, Book Two: Night Market Stalls of The 1980s

Jiang Yulan transmigrates into the body of another Jiang Yulan, a wife in The 1980s who is about to be thrown out because she gave birth to a daughter.

To force her to give up her place, her mother-in-law curses her as a hen that can't lay a male egg,

while the mistress stands there with a pregnant belly, kneeling before her alongside the scumbag husband, both weeping bitterly.

"We're true love. Please let us be together."

Jiang Yulan: "A match made in heaven, a dog with a dog, together forever. How could I not let you have each other? Of course I'll grant your wish."

After extorting a hefty sum from the scumbag, Jiang Yulan happily divorces him and takes her adorable daughter with her.

After the divorce, she sets up a night-market stall outside the residential compound next to a research institute, using the cooking skills passed down in her family.

Hot pot skewers, spicy hot pot noodles, wide rice noodles with sesame sauce, and boneless chicken in chili sauce:

They're all things people have never even heard of.

At first, everyone is skeptical and only watches without buying.

Later, before the stall even opens, they show up with pots and bowls, waiting there with their mouths watering, afraid they'll get there too late and miss out.

Yulan's night-market stall grows bigger and bigger. People come from far and wide, business booms, and money pours in every day. Jiang Yulan becomes a famous businesswoman in Rong City.

The scumbag and his wicked mother-in-law are dumbfounded,

and the mistress, who thought she knew the plot and had all the answers, is left utterly humiliated.
