[Delicate Wife VS Tough Guy, Spoiling Wife + Double Virtue + Raising Kids Daily Life]
The foodie livestreamer Shen Mingzhu transmigrated into the role of a wicked stepmother from a bygone era's novel, becoming a contrasting figure to the village's Shen Baolan.
Shen Baolan was kind and virtuous, treating her stepson as her own, while the original character was harsh and mean, either beating or scolding the stepson.
Shen Baolan enjoyed her twilight years thanks to her promising stepson, whereas the original character was burned alive by her twisted and sinister stepson.
In order to change the tragic outcome, Shen Mingzhu rolled up her sleeves, prepared to sort things out properly.
——
Shen Baolan had a dream.
The man she was about to marry would die half a year later, leaving her a widow with nothing, bound to lead a life of misery.
Meanwhile, Shen Mingzhu, for having married the right man, became an enviable rich lady.
Both from the same village, both becoming stepmothers to someone, why should Shen Mingzhu live a better life than her?
She would marry the man Shen Mingzhu was married to, and live Shen Mingzhu's good life!
——
Five years passed.
Shen Mingzhu had become a college student, Shen Mingzhu's man didn't die but instead became a big boss, and Shen Mingzhu's stepson turned into a child prodigy.
Shen Baolan, who pined for her husband to succeed, was still bitterly waiting for the day her man would rise to greatness.
While it might seem like things are moving too fast at times the pacing is actually pretty well balanced and most things get the screen time they need before things move on. The minimal faffing around is actually very refreshing if you compare it to other stories of a similar genre. The characters are pretty well rounded out, and personally I'm enjoying the MC very much. What's out so far feels like it's a run up for something big and the ******* build of that speckled with small excitement is really fun. I'm looking forward to where this will take us
