Seven Queens

[Delicate Wife VS Tough Guy, Spoiling Wife + Double Virtue + Raising Kids Daily Life]
The foodie livestreamer Shen Mingzhu transmigrated into the role of a wicked stepmother from a bygone era's novel, becoming a contrasting figure to the village's Shen Baolan.
Shen Baolan was kind and virtuous, treating her stepson as her own, while the original character was harsh and mean, either beating or scolding the stepson.
Shen Baolan enjoyed her twilight years thanks to her promising stepson, whereas the original character was burned alive by her twisted and sinister stepson.
In order to change the tragic outcome, Shen Mingzhu rolled up her sleeves, prepared to sort things out properly.
——
Shen Baolan had a dream.
The man she was about to marry would die half a year later, leaving her a widow with nothing, bound to lead a life of misery.
Meanwhile, Shen Mingzhu, for having married the right man, became an enviable rich lady.
Both from the same village, both becoming stepmothers to someone, why should Shen Mingzhu live a better life than her?
She would marry the man Shen Mingzhu was married to, and live Shen Mingzhu's good life!
——
Five years passed.
Shen Mingzhu had become a college student, Shen Mingzhu's man didn't die but instead became a big boss, and Shen Mingzhu's stepson turned into a child prodigy.
Shen Baolan, who pined for her husband to succeed, was still bitterly waiting for the day her man would rise to greatness.

The Stepmother's Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Zhou Hao's stepmom wants to know what you've been up to recently."


Shen Mingzhu had intended to brush off the question, but then she thought better of it. She couldn't set a bad example for her stepchild by encouraging him to lie.


"Just tell her I've been reading books and studying at home."


She'd registered for the self-study exam at Provincial University at the end of September, majoring in Chinese Language and Literature. With the exams coming up in January, she indeed had been studying at home recently.


Perhaps surprised by her honesty, Pei Ziheng glanced at her but didn't say anything.


However, Shen Baolan didn't believe Shen Mingzhu was really studying at home. She suspected that Mingzhu was probably concocting some other money-making schemes.


Unable to get the information she wanted from Pei Ziheng, she decided to take matters into her own hands.


So, that evening, after dinner, Shen Baolan uncharacteristically arrived at their door with a half-bag of fresh dates.
