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.

"I'm off to work. If you're tired, just go sleep on the bed."


Saying this, Kang Li escorted him to the dorm entrance, waving her small hand, "Take it slow, hubby. Work well. I'll wait for your return!"


Luo Yanqing was brimming with joyful vibes. He waved back, his eyes tender and affectionate, a captivating smile spread across his handsome face, which utterly bewitched Kang Li. She switched into her domineering CEO mode: "You are not allowed to smile outside, even if the other party is a male colleague!"


Luo Yanqing agreed and chuckled softly.


Reunions are short, partings inevitable. Before her afternoon shift, Kang Li was driven back to the compound by Luo Yanqing, his eyes filled with reluctance.


After this separation, for two whole years, Luo Yanqing not only didn't return home for a break, but even during Kang Li's visits to the institute, their encounters were few and far between.
