[Upcoming novel: The Young Lady of the General's Estate. Please add it to your reading list~ Thank you~]

Blurb:

Before transmigrating, Xia Qing was the head of a modern ancient martial arts family. She had mastered countless martial arts and was a peerless physician and poison expert.

After transmigrating, Xia Qing becomes the meek daughter-in-law of a hunter's family and the meek stepmother of three kids. Her good-for-nothing husband is unconscious in bed after being poisoned, her father-in-law is injured from hunting, and although her mother-in-law is hardworking and capable, she can't hold together a family with nothing but empty walls, barely enough food to get by, and debts piling up.

Fortunately, the three kids are well-behaved and sensible, and her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law sincerely protect her. Xia Qing, who never experienced family affection in her previous life, thinks it over and decides to lead the whole family toward a comfortable life and the pinnacle of success.

She takes on shameless troublemakers and puts petty villains in their place, while hunting and gathering herbs in the mountains, treating her husband and father-in-law, farming, doing business, opening a factory, and sending the kids to study and learn martial arts. She even helps the whole village get rich...

Just as life is going wonderfully, the kids are suddenly hunted by assassins. Only then does Xia Qing learn that the kids and her good-for-nothing husband have extraordinary identities. Watching her husband carry the assassins he's killed toward the mountain, Xia Qing falls silent for a few seconds. "Since they refuse to behave, let's just kill our way back."

Later...

The young emperor: "Mother, the palace is so big. Why don't you come stay with me for a few days?"

The young general: "Mother, the scenery in Saibei is lovely right now. Why don't we go for a trip?"

The young master of the Divine Healer Valley: "Mother, our valley is holding a medical skills competition. Would you like to come watch?"

The former great general, now regent, glares at them. "Your mother isn't going anywhere!" After saying that, he takes his wife by the hand and leads her to their room. "My lady, shall we have a child?"

[Reading notes]

1. One-on-one romance, both physically and emotionally devoted. The female lead is strong, decisive, and doesn't dawdle. The male lead wakes up later.

2. Set in a fictional dynasty, with some original details. I'll do my best to make it stand up to everyone's scrutiny.
