Second-Time Bride, Raising Kids to an Easy Win [Period]

[Military Life, Alternate Universe. Next up: The Beauty Detective of Nineties Hong Kong. Blurb below]

Zheng Qingqiu thought she was nothing more than an ordinary housewife, tending to her husband and children and living a quiet, peaceful life...

Until one day, a sentence suddenly appeared in her mind:

[Welcome, Qingqiu, to this book's reader group.]

Only then did Qingqiu learn that she was the doomed stepmother in a period novel.

Her husband Lu Fang's so-called nephew was actually his illegitimate child with another woman, and the male lead of the book.

She would give the boy all her love and raise him to be a success, while neglecting the growth of her own daughter...

Later, the male lead's real mother would return, and Lu Fang would divorce her. She would leave with nothing, and she and her "good-for-nothing" daughter would both be written off...

After reading the original story, Qingqiu was still shaken, but thankfully the reader group was still there:

[Don't be scared, Qingqiu! We're here to help you change your fate.]

[Get divorced! We'll find you the best man in the whole book to marry next!]

[Just marrying a good man isn't enough. Qingqiu, we'll take you to dig up gold bars!]

Qingqiu came from a poor family and had little education, so after she divorced Lu Fang, everyone thought her life was over. Who could have guessed that in the blink of an eye she'd marry Jiang Huai, an officer in the Corps?

Everyone said Company Commander Jiang was stern, rigid, and humorless, and that his two daughters were unruly troublemakers who were hard to discipline. Poor, pretty, delicate Qingqiu was in for a rough time as their stepmother.

Who could have guessed that before long, Company Commander Jiang would become gentle and considerate, obeying Qingqiu in everything?

Jiang Huai's two daughters, who used to cause trouble if they weren't smacked every three days, suddenly became obedient and sensible, hugging Qingqiu and shouting "Mom!"...

Lu Fang had divorced Qingqiu because he only wanted to wear down her pride. He thought that once she had a taste of hardship, she'd come back and apologize, begging him to remarry her.

Instead, Qingqiu remarried a man who was countless times better than him, and her life was ten thousand times better than it had been with him...

The Beauty Detective of Nineties Hong Kong

Zheng Ye, a renowned international psychology expert and criminal investigation ace, woke up to find herself a junior detective in the Serious Crime Unit of West Kowloon, Hong Kong, in the 1990s.

The original occupant had been on the job for a month. After fainting, throwing up blood, and crying in fear at crime scenes, she'd finally moved on to tampering with evidence and nearly causing a catastrophe...

Zheng Ye surveyed the mess the original occupant had left behind: "..."

Everyone in Hong Kong's police force knew that Serious Crime Unit D was full of talented people. Then Zheng Ye, a black sheep, showed up. Just as everyone thought she'd be forced to quit, she suddenly got her act together.

"??? Zheng Ye caught the murderer who'd been on the run for three years?"

"??? Zheng Ye solved the cold case that had stumped the Hong Kong police for two years?"

"??? That case was ruled a suicide. Zheng Ye found the killer?"

"?????"

Zheng Ye was the only girl of her generation in the Zheng family, with three older brothers. She was born amid her family's great expectations and doted on by everyone, but that also spoiled her into a complete "good-for-nothing." At her very first job, she repeatedly caused trouble in the Serious Crime Unit and became a laughingstock throughout Hong Kong.

Later, she solved one strange case after another, shining in the police force until she became a star in Hong Kong's law enforcement world. When the aloof beauty, the unattainable dream girl in everyone's heart, fell for her, Zheng Ye could only throw herself into one case after another...

She seemed to have become a beautiful, unfeeling crime-solving machine...
