I’m Taking It Easy as Big Sister-in-Law in 1980S Hong Kong

Pushing my completed novels: The Max-Level Drama Queen Becomes the Villain's Stepmother [The 1950s], After Becoming a Widow, My Dead Husband Came Back [The 1960s], and Raising a Child on the Frontier with My Transmigrated General Husband [The 1970s] Story blurb: Shen Lingyun transmigrates into a mindless female supporting character in a novel set in a bygone era. The character has a powerful husband who can shake Hong Kong with a single stomp. Supposedly, this big shot, who rose from humble beginnings, had a rather complicated path to success, plenty of female confidantes, and countless illegitimate children... Believing these rumors, and relying on the fact that her family had been the first benefactors to help him rise to power, the original character keeps finding new ways to court disaster. In the end, she dies in an "accident" caused by someone. When Shen Lingyun arrives, she finds herself at the story's pivotal moment. The big shot has been taken hostage during negotiations with a business rival. Should she go save him, or run away? In the original story, the female supporting character chooses to flee, and then meets her untimely end. "Bring everyone. We're going." Shen Lingyun takes just one second to decide. "Yes, ma'am!" A vast crowd of bodyguards in black suits follows behind her. An hour later, inside a run-down, unfinished building, Huo Fenghua, wearing a torn designer outfit, eyes his wife, who has shown up out of nowhere. "What are you doing here?" Shen Lingyun: "I came to collect your body." Huo Fenghua: This wicked woman really is hoping I'll die soon so she can inherit my fortune! (The male lead is a wealthy man who worked his way up from nothing. He has a clean background.) Coming soon: Remarrying and Raising a Husband in the 1960s Wang Manyun is strong and independent, a modern woman. But because she is too independent, she is betrayed by her scumbag boyfriend, even though she's more beautiful than his mistress. Watching the pitiful mistress cling to the scumbag, Wang Manyun finally sees the light. Love that asks for nothing except a man's kindness is cheap. So cheap that a scumbag can eat her food, use her things, spend her money on a mistress, and even claim that her love is suffocating him. What a shameless jerk! Having come to her senses, Wang Manyun can't be bothered to listen to his excuses. She makes him leave with nothing and tells him to get lost. After the divorce, she enjoys a few peaceful days. Then she closes her eyes, opens them again, and finds herself in the 1960s, transmigrated into a book as a poor woman with the same fate she once had. A leopard can't change its spots. Cheating and domestic violence happen either once or countless times. This marriage has to end. When Wang Manyun demands a divorce, the scumbag flies into a rage. He threatens to demand the return of every bit of the bride price and declares that he'll make the Wang family feel the full force of the Revolutionary Committee. Wang Manyun isn't someone who can be intimidated. On the third day after her divorce, she becomes a stepmother. Her new husband is a decorated soldier who has lost two wives, each of whom left him a son. Because their maternal uncles have been stirring up trouble, the two boys have grown up sensitive, suspicious, and rebellious. They're notorious troublemakers. If the boys weren't so difficult to manage, Wang Manyun wouldn't have gotten this lucky. Wang Manyun dares to take on this mess because she knows she can handle it. On the very first day of their marriage, she lays down house rules for her husband and the two boys... Coming soon: Transmigrating into a Republic-Era Tycoon's Villainous Stepmother Lu Yunman transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era and suddenly becomes a mother without having to give birth. Her stepson is sixteen, an adult by the standards of the Republic of China, old enough to marry and have children. On the first day after her arrival, Lu Yunman's husband dies. Their marriage was a political and business alliance with no emotional foundation. Dead is dead. Lu Yunman isn't sad at all. She gets ready and, amid a storm of opposition, marries while clutching her husband's memorial tablet. It's not that she willingly chose to become a stepmother. The times are just too harsh. Plenty of modern bloggers claim the Republic of China was the most romantic era, and that women in qipao were the epitome of elegance. That's all nonsense. Anyone who has seriously studied history knows just how miserable life was for women in that era. She doesn't want her family to use her as a pawn, doesn't want to be treated like property, and doesn't want to go hungry. So Lu Yunman chooses to cling to a powerful patron. Compared to an unhappy marriage and a stable life, living with dignity matters more. Four years later, her stepson, dressed in military uniform, hands Lu Yunman a letter of divorce. His gaze burns with conviction. "The Three Obediences and Four Virtues are shackles imposed on women. I hope you can pursue your own happiness." Lu Yunman, under his intense gaze: "..." What a noble-sounding excuse! (Neither lead is a good person in the traditional sense, but both have their limits. The blurb may be revised when the novel starts.) Coming soon: The Villainous Female Supporting Character in a Novel Set in a Bygone Era Jiang Wanqing transmigrates into the tragic female supporting character of a novel set in a bygone era. The kind get bullied. Excessive patience and kindness are taken for granted. In a family that favors boys over girls, she has to revolve around her younger brother from childhood. Her father gives away her college entrance exam slot as a favor, and even the male lead, who had already agreed to marry her, asks her to step aside because he has fallen for someone else. Her repeated compromises bring her no happiness. She's only there to be the female lead's foil. While the female lead enjoys a happy family, Jiang Wanqing suffers in the family she was born into. While the female lead is doted on by the male lead, her parents trade her future for their own advancement and marry her off to a man with a crippled leg. The man is suspicious and sinister. The female supporting character dies just a few years later. How could Jiang Wanqing accept this fate? What's "only natural"? What's "kindness"? It's all bullshit. People can overcome their fate. When faced with people who are cruel without even realizing it, she'll show them what true cruelty looks like. Only the wicked can deal with the wicked! (The blurb is still a work in progress and will be polished before the novel starts.) Theme: Love life, and live joyfully and happily
