The Prima Donna Original Wife's Daily Life Raising Kids on an Island [The 1980s]

On her way to join her husband on a remote island, Chen Ying had a dream.

She was the glamorous first wife in a stepmother novel, a foil to the heroine.

The heroine was gentle and kind. She married a man who'd been married before and willingly became a stepmother, earning everyone's praise year after year.

As for Chen Ying, with her vixenish looks, she was a troublemaker who made a scene over everything. Worst of all, she favored sons over daughters and insisted on having a third child to try for a boy. In the end, she died of postpartum hemorrhaging on the operating table.

After her death, her promising husband became a stepping stone in the male lead's career and died young. Their two daughters grew up without parents and with no one to rely on. The elder daughter turned to crime, while the younger was a lovesick fool who was deceived by a scumbag and left heartbroken.

Waking from the nightmare, Chen Ying touched her belly, muttered that it was a bad omen, and firmly made the following decisions:

1. Stay away from men for a safe life. No sex means no pregnancy!

2. Absolutely no third child. Raise her daughters well!

3. Better to rely on herself than anyone else. She'll make a name for herself on the island with her cooking!

Xu Heran had been counting the days until his wife finally came to join him.

But she refused to let him cuddle or hug her, and on their very first night together, she kicked him out of the bedroom and refused to share a bed!

The next day, he showed up for morning exercises with dark circles under his eyes. His buddies winked at him and made all sorts of comments about how impressive he was.

Xu Heran: I've got a lot of things I want to say, but I don't know if I should!

After giving his shortcomings some serious thought, Xu Heran made a lot of changes. He showered as soon as he got home, took care of all the housework and cooking, and handed over control of the finances... His wife's gaze gradually warmed.

Just when he thought he'd finally get to hold his wife, Chen Ying said coolly, "Go get a vasectomy first."

Xu Heran: My wife is seriously ruthless!

Xu Heran's wife, who'd come to join him, was so beautiful that people could admire her from afar but couldn't get close!

The women were afraid she'd outshine them, and the men feared getting into trouble. Before long, rumors spread that Chen Ying was spoiled, difficult, extravagant, and hard to get along with...

No one knew when a barbecue stall opened on the island, selling grilled pork belly, scallops, sea fish, and even grilled pineapple?

Neither the men nor the women wanted to get close to Chen Ying, but their legs wouldn't listen: "Take all my money, just let me eat!"
