My Mother Went on a Rampage in the 1960s

[The neighboring book, Reborn: I Won't Be a Cannon Fodder Female Lead Again (70s), is being serialized alongside this one. Feel free to check it out if you're interested.]

[Coming next: My Mother Is the Real Heiress of a Hong Kong Tycoon (90s)]

My mother was a top student at Jing University. As soon as she graduated, the state recruited her directly into a research institute.

But after a sudden turn of events, she disappeared for eleven years.

When she came back, the world had moved on and a new generation had taken the stage. There was no place for her at the research institute anymore, so she could only go to the countryside and farm.

That's when I learned that our entire family was living in a period novel where the whole family doted on the heroine.

The heroine in the book was my cousin. She had a koi System that could boost her luck and bring endless good fortune to others. Everyone loved her, and she even married into a wealthy family, living the life of a winner.

By contrast, I was the comparison character. My mother suffered severe bleeding and a difficult labor when I was born, so I was naturally branded a jinx. My luck was terrible, too. My father hated me, my grandparents didn't love me, and my brothers wouldn't protect me. I was even kidnapped and taken to the mountains, where I died a miserable death.

People said, "So what if the supporting female character has a regimental commander for a father? If her mother hadn't died, maybe her life could have taken a different turn. But there's no 'if.' She ended up paving the way for the heroine and became the bargaining chip that let her marry into a wealthy family."

But the truth was...

My mother was a true genius. Even though she lost her job at the research institute, she got into the top medical school in China and became a world-famous doctor. Institutions abroad competed to invite her, and she became the youngest academician in the medical field.

My mother pointed to the barren hills near her hometown and led the villagers in growing medicinal herbs, turning the area into the world's largest wholesale market for medicinal materials.

My mother developed fertilizer for growing medicinal herbs, sending small but powerful batches of organic fertilizer to households across the country. Agricultural colleges and medical colleges fought over her, each desperate to recruit her.

My mother...

She pointed to the endless fields of medicinal herbs and thousands of mu of fertile land, and said to me, "Baby, this is the vast empire I've built for you. Please accept it."

Hugging a stack of land deeds, I gave one a big bite. "How am I the pitiful, wretched supporting character in the book? I'm clearly the heroine who can win without lifting a finger, with the whole family doting on me."

With my chubby little hand, I painstakingly wrote a crooked sentence in my diary:

My mom looks so cool when she takes on the world!

[The blurb is written in first person, but the story is in third person. My mother is the protagonist.]

[The female lead is the original owner of the body. She spent those eleven missing years in the cultivation world. When she first returned, her soul was incomplete, and she was controlled by the plot.]

[The supporting female character is reborn and has a System, but the female lead being a baby is the biggest golden finger of all. The story will make the original heroine look bad.]

Here's another book for pre-order: My Mother Is the Real Heiress of a Hong Kong Tycoon (90s)

My mother was the real heiress who had gone missing from the wealthy Ye family in Hong Kong. After spending forty-two years in the countryside on the mainland, her wealthy maternal grandparents finally brought her home.

Her grandparents said through tears, "You've suffered so much all these years."

Only I knew that wasn't true.

My mother hadn't really gone missing back then. She'd been abandoned, simply because a fortune-teller said she would never be wealthy. What a ridiculous reason.

Only later did I learn that our entire family was living inside a book.

The heroine in the book was the fake heiress, and the whole family loved her. The male lead and all the other male characters loved her, too. Even the real heiress's husband, my father, loved her. The fake heiress lived a triumphant life, while the real heiress ended up with an estranged husband, dead children, and parents who hated her.

People said the real heiress was born into privilege but destined for a servant's life. One childhood disappearance had turned her whole world upside down. The fake heiress took her life and her wealthy family, and she ended up marrying a poor country boy who farmed for a living. Her sons weren't top students from Peking or Tsinghua University, either. She only had sons and never got to enjoy any good fortune.

She was already forty-six, halfway through life. What good would it do to be recognized by her wealthy family now? Could she start over?

She still couldn't get back the life she'd lost, could she?

Who would have guessed that my mother wasn't destined to be poor at all? She was blessed with good fortune in every way, bringing prosperity to her husband, children, and herself.

My father, whom everyone else saw as a farmer, had leased thousands of hectares of land and amassed assets worth hundreds of millions.

My mother, whom the Ye family believed was destined to be poor, owned thousands of properties. She had homes and shops in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and even the most luxurious villa in Hong Kong's best neighborhood belonged to our family. The rent kept rolling in.

My brothers, whom everyone thought couldn't get into Peking or Tsinghua, had PhDs from Harvard, Cambridge, and the Ivy League. They had invested in many publicly listed companies and become rising stars in finance.

I watched my parents counting property deeds by the window: one, two, three... one hundred... two hundred... three hundred deeds. I laughed like a pig.

I wondered worriedly: What should we do with three hundred properties and five hundred commercial storefronts waiting to be inherited?

I still had tens of thousands of mu of leased farmland worth tens of millions. What if we couldn't spend all our money?

I looked again at my three older brothers counting their ownership shares. Even the Ye family's company had received angel investment from my brothers. They handed me the share subscription papers. "It's all yours, little sis."

Hugging my baby bottle, I slurped my milk. This wasn't some miserable little cabbage growing in a field. My mother was clearly the face-slapping heroine of a feel-good web novel!

[Set in an alternate 1997, after Hong Kong's return to China.]

[The female lead gets to coast through life with her whole family doting on her.]

[In the original story, it was a lie that the female lead's father loved the fake heiress. He has always loved her real mother.]
