The Male Supporting Character's Mom Is a Beauty (1980s)

[Next period novel, please add my upcoming story to your collection: The Fussy Beauty Becomes a Big Shot's Mom in the 1970s. The preview is below.]

Cheng Yishi was beautiful and kind, with a stunning figure and a famously pampered nature.

She had just graduated, married a man from the same compound whom she knew inside and out, and had a baby. In everyone's eyes, she was the very picture of a winner in life.

After an accident, Cheng Yishi awakened and discovered that the world she lived in was nothing more than a feel-good period novel written in the future.

In that novel, she herself was merely the early-deceased biological mother of a supporting male character.

She appeared in only one chapter, and the author summed her up in eight words: lazy and indulgent, destined to die young.

Her son, the supporting male character, lost his mother early because she was lazy, vain, and affected. His father was dignified, restrained, cold, and taciturn, so the boy listened to the female lead, who brought warmth into his life. In the latter half of his life, he died horribly in a car accident while saving the female lead's biological son.

Cheng Yishi: I don't know whether I should say this.

Fortunately, the future supporting male character was still just a little boy who could be lured away with a single piece of candy.

Cheng Yishi decided to change at least part of the ending.

Reader's note: The focus is on career and family, with romance as a secondary storyline. The setting is the 1980s and early 1990s.

Some elements of the period-novel setting are based on existing works, but the story itself is the authority.

I ran out of period food novels to read and couldn't find any more, so I'm making half of one myself. There's a golden finger, and there's wealth to be made!

This story focuses on everyday life, running a business, and romance, with lots of cooking. If that's not your thing, please don't read.

The White Lotus Becomes a Genius Baby's Mom in the 1970s

After transmigrating, Zhao Xilan got the titles of "evil aunt" and "cannon-fodder female supporting character."

She was timid with outsiders but came out swinging at home.

On her first day back at her parents' house, she was met with countless glares and a torrent of insults. Before she could even speak, she was kicked out with all her belongings.

Just as Zhao Xilan was feeling utterly miserable and wondering where to go,

a five-year-old child ran out from nearby, wearing a shabby old military uniform. In an exasperated tone, he said, "You might as well believe the sow on the back hill can run as believe Uncle will ever study."

Zhao Xilan was baffled. "Who are you?"

He Qinzhu frowned and pouted, saying indignantly, "Your biological son!"

Zhao Xilan: ...

That didn't sound much like a son. More like an ancestor?

Reader's guide: The blurb may change. It's basically the everyday story of a lazy white lotus mom with some cooking skills, carried to an easy victory by her genius kid.

The female lead is the original person, not a replacement. However, some small changes have affected certain plot points.

The Genius Kid's Mom Wants to Take It Easy

Blurb: Two years ago.

Zhong Yao, a member of a girl group, and popular actor Jiang Kexi announced their relationship. The news caused Zhong Yao's male fans to quit the fandom and Jiang Kexi's girlfriend fans to have their hearts broken.

As their agencies worried about the two stars' popularity, the "Slim Waist Couple" fans began growing unstoppable elsewhere, successfully pushing Zhong Yao and Jiang Kexi to new heights of popularity within two years.

Watching the couple's fanbase grow day by day, Zhong Yao could only say: Don't ship us. It's all a marriage agreement. We're a contract couple.

After two years, Zhong Yao finally reached the end of her contract. All she wanted was to get a divorce.

But just as she was sharpening her knives and preparing to welcome her new life, a cool eight-year-old boy and a pretty three-year-old girl knocked on the door of her villa.

"Open up."

"I'm your son!"

Zhong Yao denied it instinctively.

"No way."

"Why not? You want to do it with my dad again before you divorce him... Mmph! You want my dad..."

Much later,

Zhong Yao happily settled into a laid-back life.

Theme: Hard work brings prosperity.
