Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life.
The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard.
She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters.
But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem.
All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish.
Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly!
Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad!

A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier.

Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

After hearing what Jiang Hongfa said, Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen didn't say a single word. The two of them, almost in sync, stood up, didn't spare even a glance at Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, and walked out of the study.


Staring at the now-empty doorway, Jiang Hongfa snapped back to himself and looked at Jiang Boya, but for the moment, he couldn't figure out what Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen were thinking.


Unexpectedly, Jiang Boya shook his head. "I don't know, either." He had no idea what those two were thinking.


Father and son sat in the study, neither saying another word for a time.


On the other side, in the guest room where Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen were staying, Luo Yanqing found himself under their combined gazes. After a while, Cai Xiufen finally spoke:
