[Coming soon: "The Fragile, Delicate Villainess of the Seventies Marries a Powerful Man"]
Story blurb:
After Yun Muxiang recovers from her illness, she suddenly realizes she's living in a power fantasy novel.
The little runt next door, who's stealing money in his split-crotch pants and whom she scolded for setting a bad example for her son, is the power fantasy protagonist himself. His stepmother will raise him into a success, and once he becomes a business mogul, he'll use money to beat her half to death.
Yun Muxiang: ?
Beating someone with money still counts as assault!
It's against the law. I knew that little runt was no good.
Stay away, stay away.
Her son, meanwhile, has become a foil for the male lead. Spoiled by the whole family since childhood, he never lifts a finger or knows the first thing about food crops. Even as an adult, he still depends on his mother, a useless layabout who works her to death.
Yun Muxiang: Who works who to death?
Yun Muxiang looks at the chubby boy, surrounded by his grandparents on both sides the moment she tries to discipline him, and believes it at once.
This won't do!
She immediately packs their things and takes her son on a thousand-mile journey to find his father.
If a child is not taught, it's the father's fault.
Let the kid's dad teach him.
One day, a telephone operator secretly passes along some gossip.
They say the family of the regiment commander, Zhou, is lazy and plans to dump the child on him.
Those who hear it laugh it off.
Everyone knows that Commander Zhou is cold and distant, with a heart that belongs only to his soldiers.
Someone bets, "If Commander Zhou has to look after a kid, I'll rip off my own arm and give it to the child to play with."
Zhou Yichen, given the task by his wife: It's just taking care of a kid.
Won't listen?
Give him a beating.
If one beating isn't enough, give him another.
On their first day together,
their son learns to climb a tree from someone else and wears out a brand-new outfit.
Commander Zhou faces his wife's blazing eyes.
"The kid's lively, just like me."
On their third day together,
his son spills water on the 20,000-character report he's carefully prepared. He can't help rolling up his sleeves.
Commander Zhou hears his wife mock him.
"The kid's lively, just like you."
"..."
The words Xiao Zhou Zhen hears most growing up are what his grandparents on both sides always say: "Your dad loves you the most."
But when he looks forward to living with his father, he gets beaten three times a day.
Xiao Zhou Zhen realizes two truths.
One: His dad loves his mom the most.
Two: He's not his real son.
Just like the uncle next door, who never hits his own biological children, only the kids his second wife brought with her.
Waaah.
Xiao Zhou Zhen, tears in his eyes, goes to find his mother.
"Mom, do you love me?"
"Love you, love you, love you."
Xiao Zhou Zhen wipes away his tears.
"All right. I'll put up with a little hardship for Mom."
Even if Dad isn't his real father, Mom is his real mother.

Song Ling transmigrates into the sickly woman who dies a tragic death after being forced into a replacement marriage in a period novel. She opens her eyes to find herself being guilt-tripped into filling the place of her cousin, who ran away with her lover.
She's also bound to a System that loves watching the drama unfold.
[Beep! Bump into the male lead and steal the female lead's opportunity.]
As she's forced to faint into the male lead's arms, Song Ling struggles and falls into the arms of a passerby instead.
He Wenyue holds his hands awkwardly in the air.
Staring at the woman who clings to his lapels even after fainting, he somehow finds himself doing a good deed.
As they get to know each other and spend more time together,
He Wenyue wants to be good to Song Ling, and he wants to be with her.
He secretly visits the family of the fiancée his elders arranged for him, intending to call off their engagement.
As he enters, he sees the woman he can't stop thinking about, holding a bowl of hot tea and sitting cross-legged on the sofa. He's a little confused.
Good news: The woman he loves is the same person as his fiancée.
Bad news: Their families have already called off the engagement.
Don't back down!
Set a small goal: start dating her first.
My name is Taobao.
I have an all-powerful mom and a dad who keeps stealing her away from me.
Dad is pretty pathetic when he's clinging to Mom, but he's the easiest person in the family to talk to.
"Dad, I want chocolate."
"I'll buy it."
"Dad, I want to ride on your back."
"Climb on."
"Dad, I want to sleep with Mom tonight."
"No, sweetie, you don't."
Taobao huffs.
Dad is in the way again today.

The writing fell apart at the end, the plot was inexplicable, and some of it didn't connect well. . .
I was confused by 253, so I skipped to 307 and finished it before going back.
Good guy, let's get rid of the fire under the cauldron.
I was still unfamiliar with Tu Keman when I saw her before, but suddenly I remembered who she was, Yun Muxiang's best friend.
Is Shi Jiuyun really gone?
I don't understand what's going on behind. What's wrong with Master?
"Banquet person" - person who attends the banquet
Why is the role of "Doll" no longer available?
Zhou's parents are quite funny. They always favor their younger son's family in their hearts, and then feel wronged to their younger son's family. This kind of literal favoritism is not necessary.
I can't understand it now
