The Cannon Fodder Mother in a Period Novel Awakens

Xie Wanning had a dream.

In it, she ran off with a sent-down youth, and her husband found a stepmother for their kids.

The children were won over by their stepmother and treated her like their real mom.

Her husband and the other woman became a model couple.

Her in-laws couldn't praise their new daughter-in-law enough.

And Xie Wanning became the awful, wicked woman everyone loved to hate.

When she woke up, Xie Wanning said, "This can't be real!"

The things from her dream began happening one by one.

Xie Wanning looked at her kids, pinched their chubby cheeks, and gave them an early warning: "Don't grow up to be ungrateful brats, understand?"

The kids: "..."

They nodded obediently.

Xie Wanning looked up at her mother-in-law, too. In the dream, the woman had been hypocritical and vicious.

She narrowed her eyes. She wouldn't be fooled so easily anymore.

As for the husband who had been living with someone else in her dream...

Xie Wanning told him coolly, "Since you love someone else, let's end things between us."

Shen Zhiqiu had just returned from the army. "???"

He didn't! He hadn't!

Here's a recommendation for my upcoming novel, The Sickly Beauty Returns to the Seventies to Keep Her Husband. My dears, please add it to your collections!

Here's the blurb:

Jiang Zhi was in poor health and had a difficult personality. Beautiful and fiery-tempered, she somehow ended up in the 1970s.

Living alone meant doing everything herself, and Jiang Zhi was done with that. So she set her sights on another parentless child in the village.

The child was handsome, bright-eyed, and obedient.

Jiang Zhi put him to work without a second thought.

She never expected that when the little brat grew up, he'd dare challenge her and ask her to be his wife.

Theme: Always strive to improve yourself.
