eh. the reviews got my hopes up. the author is not consistent and clear. *POSSIBLE SPOILERS* in just the first few chapters the FL randomly figures out she can determine quality of gems by touch (literally says "she suddenly thought of something," and tried it out). and then starts the whole betting on gambling jade and that when I stopped. bleh.

The author inserted simply to get her money and rich life in a short period. It is a "plot" of convenience.

convenience for the author meant story flow disruption for the reader. does it get any better (less ridiculous plot devices) after the author set up the lead to get rich etc?

Same tbh. I already felt iffy about it after that fiancee lady and her two thugs came to set the house on fire a second time like 5 minutes after the boyfriend / husband saved her from the first fire and left. And then the random superpowers happened for no reason. And also she bumped into a criminal? It's a mess.

A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Ning Yue was a military doctor and a special forces soldier. During a mission to rescue hostages, she died from a bomb explosion. Ning Yue thought she was dead, but when she opened her eyes, she had become a woman in ancient times with the same name but a different surname. This woman’s father was a general, but she lived in the Ning Family Village and was raised by her adoptive parents for more than ten years. A year ago, the people from the general’s residence found her and brought her back. However, they sent her back again a few months later. When the original owner of the body returned to the village, she was pregnant and gave birth to twin sons within a few months. Another year passed, and the year of the great drought was ushered in. The entire village had to flee. The original owner of the body left with the rest of the villagers with her two sons and slow-witted father. In other words, the current special forces soldier, Ning Yue, was an older single young woman who had not experienced the sweetness of love. She had skipped all those steps, and directly became a mother to two children. She also gained the original owner’s dim-witted father and a body that didn’t work and had hunger pangs after starving for two days. But was that all? Don’t be naive! “Don’t eat my daughter! Don’t eat my daughter!” The original owner’s father pleaded. “The older one’s meat is too hard, so it needs to be cooked longer. These two small ones have tender meat, so they only need to be roasted for a while. We’ll eat the big one tomorrow!” Ning Yue, who was now being viewed as food, looked up at the sky and said to herself, “Gee, thanks SO much!”
