Some say they successfuly obtain their goal, others think they failed, but the truth … , not always is simple or straightforward, some occasions, the answer is trickier, twisted and deeper than a black hole. Give it a try, is my first published Novel and my first work on English, so i personally recommend to read up to Chapter 28 before deciding. Proper SMUT after Chapter 35, full intercourse planned in the next Volume. I'm not native speaker so any mistakes i appreciate if you point them out for me to correct them. Leave a comment if you like, have any questions or doubts. My next work "REALITY SUBDUERS" is in progress, it is going to continue the story from another perspectives. Everything on this history has a reason and a hidden meaning, the hints are already there so … DO NOT EXPECT "PLOT ARMOR".

Farm System, Baby, and a Fortune: My '70s Divorce

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?

Anne Boleyn and Henry Percy in Fanfiction: Alternative Histories
In some fanfiction, Anne Boleyn and Henry Percy's relationship could be the starting point of a new Tudor dynasty. If they had been allowed to marry, their descendants might have ruled England in a very different way.
