This had me hooked from the start. Great writing plus I love stories about waking up married with children. Especially those from history and have space

== first impressions as of 40 chapters == A military doctor wakes up to the body of Lu Jiao, fat woman who's married to a now crippled scholar of the Xie family and mother to four sons. She realizes that she's transmigrated into a novel character who mistreats her sons. It turns out the four sons and her husband, Xie Yunjiao, turns to be the villains of the story. They will come to kill Lu Jiao and to prevent her death, she decides to treat them well. However, before she can leave her husband and four kids, she promises to cure Xie Yunjiao and use the time to make them hate her less (so they won't kill her in the future) and create good relations with the villagers to benefit her family in the long run. Also, because she isn't the real Lu Jiao, she has no motive to treat them badly. Everyone in the village notices Lu Jiao acts different now, and Xie Yunjiao comes to conclusion that she isn't the real Lu Jiao. And now that Lu Jiao isn't abusing her sons, but showering them with food, the kids are slowly opening up to her. This one actually surprised me at how easy it was to dive into the story. The storytelling is slow and steady but it makes sense. The transmigrated Lu Jiao doesn't just come into their lives and make everyone change their opinion of her in a snap. Xie Yunjiao still dislikes Lu Jiao's face even if he knows the person occupying Lu Jiao isn't the real Lu Jiao. The fourth son finally called her "mom" with lots of affection within the last couple of chapters. The second and third son is warming up to calling her mom, while the first son is like their father who tries to be indifferent. One thing special aspect of Lu Jiao is her personal space that she can store things in and have special herbs and medicine. Apart from that, Lu Jiao uses her own wits and skills to do menial things like cook and gather food for her family. Then slowly building good relations to those that treat her well. I'm assuming we're going to see more cute interactions with the four kids and in time, Xie Yunjiao will be able to fall in love with her. Though this doesn't a romance tag, I think it'll be fun to read despite that. Because though it's plot driven, the characters have an underlying motive.

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.

Was it you that night?

On the eve of their wedding, Yan Changsheng brought back a girl and publicly called off the marriage. Only then did Shen Qinghe realize that Yan Changsheng was the crazy male lead from a book, and the girl was the irresistible female protagonist. As for her, she was just early cannon fodder fated to die, and her elder sister was the malevolent female supporting character whom everyone wanted to beat up. Tsk, the plot is just freaking ridiculous! After awakening, Shen Qinghe busied herself with cultivation, protecting her elder sister. Yet, unknowingly seizing the female protagonist's luck, she attracted several crazy male leads, each of them forcibly taking what they wanted from her. She thought Dongfang Wuya was relatively normal, but who knew he was crazier, actually seizing the position of Heavenly Emperor and then forcibly marrying her to become the Heavenly Empress! ** As the high and mighty belle of the cultivation world, Dongfang Wuya had countless admirers and fans. Yet he was devoted to cultivation, treating love as if it were dirt. Initially thinking Shen Qinghe was deeply in love with him, he sternly advised her, "Focus on your cultivation, do not get distracted by romantic entanglements!" Later, irked by her dedication to cultivation, he pressed her into his arms and kissed her, seductively coaxing with a playful smile, "Be my Daoist companion, and I'll aid you in cultivation, hmm?"

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'
