One Day, I Became the Stepmother of Four Children

[A heroine’s coming-of-age story, an annual blockbuster, pure wish fulfillment] At twenty-five, Zhou Qianxun was a striking, cheerful young woman with a graduate degree and a wealthy family. She became the second wife of Fu Rongzhen, president of CK International, whose fortune rivaled that of a nation. She gave up Mo Yisi, her childhood sweetheart and the man she had loved for years, and let go of her romantic dreams for the future. Just like that, she became the stepmother of four children. The eldest, Fu Jiuxiao, was eighteen, elegant, charming, and outstanding in every way, but the longer she knew him, the more she realized he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The second son, Fu Anchen, was fifteen, unruly and fond of playing pranks. The third child, Fu Yiran, and the fourth, Fu Ruoyu, were fraternal twins, both seven, little terrors who could turn the whole house upside down. Dealing with a “husband” nineteen years her senior wasn’t enough. She also got four children thrown in for free, while schemes and battles of every kind came flying at her from all sides. Little by little, the young Zhou Qianxun learned that when romanticism collides with realism, the balance she needed was starting to emerge. One disaster followed another. Some people left, others appeared. She had already prepared herself to wear the shackles, but someone on the other side of hell was still pursuing her relentlessly. Devil? Angel? Love? Duty? Her childhood sweetheart had never left. He waited for the chance to rescue her from her cage, but Could she leave? Should she leave? Did she want to leave? [This is a heroine’s coming-of-age story. The heroine is quite likable, though she’s a little naive at first. By the end, she has fully come into her own. Her relationship with the four children is a lot of fun to watch as they gradually learn to get along. Plenty of unexpected twists along the way, so dive right in.]
