Chen Jiaojiao fair-skinned and beautiful, woke up one day to find herself in a historical novel becoming the stepmother of two children. No food, no water? No problem—she’s stocked up on plenty of supplies. Her in-laws are all troublesome? Sorry, she doesn’t tolerate troublemakers! The whole family of cannon fodder meets a tragic end? Dream on, whoever wants to be cannon fodder can be, but not her family! Once meek and passive, Chen Jiaojiao has changed. Her troublesome in-laws now avoid her at all costs, and she raises her two children in comfort and prosperity moving toward a better life. Gu Jingming is handsome, capable, and the most dashing man in the army. After earning a promotion and recognition, he arranges to bring his wife and children to join him in the military family compound. The news spreads like wildfire—everyone’s gossiping that Gu Jingming’s wife is a country bumpkin, ugly, old, fierce, and mean. Surely, their marriage won’t last! But when Chen Jiaojiao arrives at the family compound, tall and elegant in a flowing dress, fair-skinned and stunning, she charms everyone around her. This is no ugly, old country woman—she looks more like an angel, no less impressive than the leading stars of the performing arts troupe! And her two adorable, chubby children? They’re too cute for words! Gu Jingming is certainly a lucky man! Chen Jiaojiao, gazing at the tall, handsome, and capable Gu Jingming, smiles in satisfaction—she’s not at all losing out!
