Transmigrated into a Female Supporting Role: Not a Stepmother Control Group [1970s]

After traveling through time, Jiang Xi found herself as a stepmother in a novel.

In the book, the heroine happily marries a man with three stepchildren, knowing they will be very successful in the future. She works hard to make her new family happy and enjoys a good life.

On the other hand, Jiang Xi, as the female counterpart, also becomes a stepmother but only wants to support her natal uncle’s family. She raises her stepchildren poorly and ends up in a difficult situation, making the heroine look like a great stepmother by comparison.

Jiang Xi’s Reaction: “Whoever wants to be a stepmother can be one!”

To escape her bad family, Jiang Xi chooses to marry her fiancé, who is currently in a coma and considered a poor match by many. She even decides to bring her two sisters with her.

Jiang Xi thinks: With her two sisters and a comatose husband, even with her medical skills, life will be tough.

But then she discovers that her husband is tied to a special merit system he doesn’t know about. After they marry, they automatically form a team. Jiang Xi treats patients and gets rewards like delicious food, but to get the rewards, she must touch her husband’s body.

So, after each patient, Jiang Xi would shake her husband’s hand. Her mother-in-law, thinking she loves her son, is moved to tears.

Jiang Xi: “…”

Until one day, Jiang Xi received the task reward as usual. When she looked up, she saw a pair of shy eyes looking at her: “Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?”

Pei Hejun, Jiang Xi’s fiancé, had been badly injured and thought he was dying. He worried his greedy brother and sister-in-law would take his pension. But when he wakes up, his family is happy and honest, and his fiancée is now his wife, who is strong and capable.

Pei Hejun feels inferior because of his injury, but he’s surprised to find that Jiang Xi doesn’t mind his condition and always touches his hand while he’s sleeping.

Later:

When the book’s heroine apologizes to her stepchild’s parents for a fight, Jiang Xi leaves with gratitude from her patients and receives a large piece of pork belly as a reward.

When the book’s heroine has a heart attack and is too angry to act, Jiang Xi disciplines her two sisters, making them obedient.

The book’s heroine: … Later, she regrets her choices!
