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!
However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress.
The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall.
Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step.
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.

Seeing Elder Xi, Zhou Yaqing's tears fell in big drops. She rushed forward, crying, "Granduncle, please help me, I want to keep working at the research institute. Xiao Qing is begging you, Granduncle!"


Kneeling beside Elder Xi's leg, Zhou Yaqing grasped his hand and looked up at him, "Granduncle, I really love being a researcher. I know I've made some mistakes at work,


but that was just at the beginning, Granduncle… I promise I'll never be careless again, I promise I'll work wholeheartedly. Please help me, just this once, let me go back to the institute, okay?"


Elder Xi withdrew his hand and pointed at the sofa opposite, his face completely unreadable.


Zhou Yaqing paused, then did as he said, sitting properly on the sofa, thinking Elder Xi had softened, and that he was likely to help her go back to the institute. But soon Zhou Yaqing realized she was mistaken, as Elder Xi said, "What you're asking, Granduncle can't help you with."
