Reborn in the ’70S: The Sickly Stepmother Just Wants to Take It Easy

Jiang Li wakes up in the body of the youngest daughter of the Jiang family in Aoli Village, a frail beauty raised like a treasure. The original owner had it rough: first, her engagement was broken off; then, in a fit of pique, she married a twice-married man and became a stepmother. As it turned out, this unfortunate stepmother became the foil to another stepmother in the residential compound. She was practically the quintessential cannon-fodder supporting character. But none of that is a problem for Jiang Li. All she knows is that this so-called twice-married man is a research scientist who returned from overseas, busy with work, well-paid, handsome, and rarely home. In an era when food and clothes are scarce, you travel on foot and communicate by shouting, marrying him couldn’t be better for someone like her, who just wants to coast through life! Mother Jiang: ...My daughter’s gone dumb! Her brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews: ...My little sister, sister-in-law, and aunt have gone crazy! But apart from the head of the household, Captain Jiang, the rest of the family are all worried for Jiang Li. They fear their delicate, frail darling daughter, little sister, sister-in-law, and aunt won’t be able to bear the hardships of being a stepmother and will bottle things up until something goes wrong. The villagers who know what’s going on in the Jiang family gather to gripe and spread all kinds of nonsense, especially those who wish others ill and are just waiting to laugh at the family’s expense. But after the wedding, Jiang Li’s life is not only blissful: her husband dotes on her, her stepchildren adore her and call her Mom the moment she opens her mouth. The men in the family are like clingy little shadows, following their wife and stepmother wherever she goes. The System is stunned: I thought my bound Host was a Bronze, but she turns out to be a King. - Luo Yanqing is naturally aloof, with nothing in his heart but work.
