Daily Life in the Family Compound with My Beautiful Stepmom [The 1970s]

★Advance notice: "After I Accidentally Knocked Over My Beautiful Master". The blurb is at the very end. Please bookmark it!★

Song Xuelian of Hongfeng Brigade had bright, beautiful eyes and skin as smooth as jade. Everyone agreed she was the village beauty.

Her parents had died when she was young, and she lived with her paternal aunt's family. They all had to scrape by on her cousin's meager income. Her sister-in-law nagged her to get married every day, her little nephew was a handful, and her aunt always took her own son's side. Driven by circumstances, she had no choice but to accept a marriage proposal from the head of the steel mill.

Just when everyone in the brigade thought she was about to move to the city and live the good life, the night before she was due to leave, she discovered that her fiancé had gotten drunk and slept with her good friend and neighbor, Chen Yuying, after mistaking her for Xuelian!

Even more absurdly, after the women's director and both families mediated, she was somehow "assigned" to her good friend's blind date, Qin Shuo!

Everyone knew that Qin Shuo, despite his good family background and his position as an officer in the army, was aloof and proud. He had been married before and had two mischievous stepchildren, who had driven away almost all his previous prospective matches. To make matters worse, his mother was sharp-tongued and mean!

When they heard Song Xuelian was going to marry him and follow the army to a freezing, mountainous region in the Northeast, everyone shook their heads and grimaced in sympathy. Poor beauty, off to some poor backwater to be a stepmother and suffer at her mother-in-law's hands!

Even Chen Yuying felt somewhat guilty, thinking Xuelian was suffering on her behalf.

Everyone assumed the couple wouldn't last and that Xuelian would soon divorce him and run back to her family in tears.

But nobody expected that after the wedding, Xuelian would use the little private fund her husband gave her to live like a queen: meat at every meal, a husband who doted on her, and two wonderfully well-behaved children~

Years later, Chen Yuying discovered that Qin Shuo, once a cold and arrogant block of ice, had become a clingy, doting husband who couldn't bear to be apart from his wife!

All he did was stick to Xuelian and crave the braised pork with potatoes, corn and ribs stew, braised pork knuckle, and crispy lamb shank she made!

Even her mother-in-law treated her more affectionately than her own son, and the two mischievous children clung to Xuelian, sweetly calling her "Mom."

Chen Yuying watched with envy, then glanced at the good-for-nothing husband she'd personally seduced and flushed with anger. Had a donkey kicked her in the head back then?!

★---Advance notice: "After I Accidentally Knocked Over My Beautiful Master"---★

Ruan Miaoyin transmigrated into a background cannon-fodder character in a redemption novel. The System said this was a beginner's bonus and the mission was ridiculously easy.

In the book, she was the early black-moonlight of the villainous male lead. His love for her grew increasingly obsessive and twisted, but their master-disciple relationship forced him to keep holding back.

All she had to do was seduce the male lead with abandon, make him drop his disguise and spend a night with her, then dump him and give him a reason to turn evil. The pure-hearted heroine would take care of redeeming the great villain later.

Ruan Miaoyin looked at her master's cool, beautiful face and swallowed. "Now that's exciting!"

But within a few days, she realized that her master's gaze wasn't merely detached and desireless. It was practically righteous to a fault. And in their interactions, she couldn't sense even a trace of obsession or twisted affection. It was more like an old ancestor raising a child?

Ruan Miaoyin had no choice but to change tactics and try all kinds of ways to get herself into trouble: trampling the sachet her master had made for her into the mud, defying him, acting disgusted when he touched her...

But her master simply smiled at her fondly, his tone full of indulgent caution. "It's my first time taking a disciple. I didn't do a good job. Don't be angry, Yinyin."

Ruan Miaoyin: "? Are you really pretending, or are you actually like this?"

To keep the story on schedule, Ruan Miaoyin had no choice but to force herself to act out a scene where she took her master by force. After much effort, she finally tempted the immortal lord, who had held himself in check for a thousand years, into breaking his vows. They spent a night in each other's arms, unable to get enough.

While her back was still aching, she received an urgent warning from the Transmigration Bureau: What are you doing?! You're supposed to play the master and win over your disciple, not go after the Sword Ancestor and violate the proper order!

Ruan Miaoyin: "?? But I don't have a disciple!"

Supervisor: "You arrived a year too early. Your disciple won't be taken in until the end of this month!!"

Ruan Miaoyin: "What the hell..."

She left her master a letter saying she'd been drunk last night and mistaken him for someone else, and told him not to take it to heart (if anything, that probably made it sound even worse).

Then she promptly took in a disciple and packed up that very night to travel the mortal world with her little villainous disciple (really, she was just lying low).

Later, she heard that the aloof, immaculate immortal lord had suddenly gone mad, spending every day tormenting and interrogating the various sects about where they had hidden Yinyin.

The entire immortal sect was left begging: What kind of divine treasure was this "Yinyin"?!

Ruan Miaoyin was on the verge of tears.

When she finally saw her master again, he looked at her with the same indulgent affection as always, but the possessive desire in his eyes was nearly bursting out.

"Have you had enough of playing punishment games, Yinyin?"

#Now it's the master's turn.
