She does have a cheat in that she has a pocket dimension in which to store things but even that doesn't justify the Capital city folks all buying out her shops on a daily/weekly basis. At first, the author does include other similar shops springing up but by the end, they just don't even bother saying that. Also, the amount of shops that get opened in one city is a little bonkers. For example they open a metric ton of tea shops and these places only sell dry tea. It's not like a Starbucks.

One big thing that annoyed me was that they skipped the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre like it did not happen (They pretty much just vaguely mentioned it multiple times). It would have been intersting to see how Lin Qing He acted or how she felt about it as she is an ex director of foreign languages in I forgot which University. However yeah I get it, if you mention it in the novel and it gets popular in China then you're on your way to a concentration camp like good old Soviet times. Could have ended before 1989 and not leave a stain in the novel. The ending was pretty abrupt anyways after what feels half a novel of family planning and babymaking. I also get it that the main lead got transported into a novel but the world in it is basically China as the Author was too lazy to think of a country/history and just went with China.

The supernatural part was kind of wierd. At first there was the space then transporting into the book, afterwards it was just used as a way to get away doing black market stuff or using as an refrigerator almost making people forget that anything supernatural even exist until about 300-400 chapters in there is a fortune teller who apparently is the real deal making people wonder if the novel is actually full of supernatural powers on top of later on having the second wifes idiotic daughter be reborn. Felt like the Author was out of ideas and just went *insert bullsh*t here* to get more chapters out. I guess it wouldn't feel so out of place if something supernatural happened every 150ish chapters.

FL and ML will have a daughter in the future.

First bun will be a Major (?) in military and will marry the head nurse in military. They will have a son.

Second bun will be a politician and will marry a rich girl from a family of politicians. The chapters where the rich girl and her family discovers that second bun is quite rich will forever be my favorite and satisfying moments in the story HAHAHA. They would have a daughter who will marry the son of the original FL and ML (the story where the three sons are the villains).

The third bun will be a businessman and will marry much later in life compared to his brothers. He will have 2 sons.

The daughter will marry a prodigal-turned-for-the-better second generation rich boy.

The family became so rich that they have a lot of shops in the capital as well as real estate in the south. They would also establish a farm that would supply the organic goods in the capital.

the MC's personality. She was kind of tolerable in the beginning, but in the middle, I kind of so done with her. She was so arrogant and looked down on anyone who was not good to her. Like I get it they're bad, how can you expect that they're good when they obviously didn't have a good education, born with poverty, and you expected they're not overwhelmed with greed or ambition to be well off too? Like it's kind of normal for their relatives to think like that. The MC acted as if the world needs to be good to her because she was more "advanced" than others and expect them blindly to follow her? Like her confidence really getting on my nerves. Yeah, I felt so bad for the cannon fodders there. Honestly, even other people agree with her view, I completely disagree. And I know how Asian have this culture that "white" and "fair" skin is beautiful, but I don't get how the author always wrote "dark as coal", to someone who gets sunburn when they're training plenty of times-yeah, so many times-like how the MC commented how her first son went to the military and came back home every time. It really irked my feeling. And the ending. Was so disappointing. Or at least to me it was such a shame if they could give it more chapters with their children's as the main point of view.

the author could focus on how their sons' interact with other relationships, like the original ML and FL or their love lives! Their relationship! Less of those dog blood bickering with their nieces and nephews, more detail about their updated business, less story focus on those side characters. Like even their sons had this so minor role! I was so mad! They're like the key of this story could keep going and become more interesting, but no. The author really put whole 10-20 chapters for this niece/nephew and branches and more branches of the family. Like who cares? Bish.

The matter of pregnancy, or more specifically, how Lin Qing He is "unable" to get pregnant because of how the original got a ligation after giving birth to three sons.

Why is Zhou Qing Bai so obsessed with having a daughter? Why does Lin Qing He have to face the consequences of the original's actions and feel guilty because of something that isn't her fault?

Zhou Qing Bai, you had your chance when you retired from the military and finally had the time to be together with your family. Can you only spoil and care for a child if it's a girl? Can you only spare a little of your oh so precious time and attention if the child isn't a son but a daughter?

Your youngest son was still a toddler, if not a baby, when you retired, but did you pay attention to him at all? It seems like you let your three sons roam freely to do whatever they wanted outside without worrying about them at all, leaving all aspects of their care to Lin Qing He.

In comparison, when the fortune teller said that Lin Qing He will get pregnant with a girl in the future, Zhou Qing Bai who used to be content to work in the dumpling shop immediately wanted to open a more profitable shop and started buying land everywhere for his then nonexistent daughter's dowry.

Zhou Qing Bai when his youngest son wanted to start a factory: I won't give him any start-up funds so he doesn't ruin the money that will be left for his *still nonexistent* daughter. He can find the money for it himself.

Maybe the author wanted Zhou Qing Bai to be the perfect man who values women—pampering his wife and going along with her "unyielding temper" and wanting a daughter when many couples prefer sons over daughters, but he's disregarding Lin Qing He's opinions in order get what he wants!

I can't count how many times Lin Qing He has disagreed or expressed unwillingness/discomfort over the topic, swinging between "I really don't want to" and "I'll do it because I love him" over and over again because of Zhou Qing Bai's relentless pushing. It really disgusts me.

The hypocrisy reaches sky-shattering heights! The cycle of bad dads continues! Zhou Kai has turned into Zhou Qing Bai 2.0 *ugly sobbing*

I sh*t you not, quoted directly from chapter 673: "Daughter ah." Desire expressed through Zhou Kai's eyes. He had told Weng Mei Jia that he wanted a daughter in the future. Weng Mei Jia had said, what if it is a son? What else could Zhou Kai do? If it's a son, he would also raise him. But he would definitely not be treated like a daughter. Just roll away by yourself.

Seriously? Seriously? Zhou Qing Bai treated his sons like air and left all aspects of their care for Lin Qing He to shoulder alone. Only after their daughter was born did he turn into a dedicated house husband who couldn't bear to leave his daughter's side for a second.

If Zhou Kai and Weng Mei Jia's future kid turned out to be a girl, then good for them! Zhou Kai gets a cute, caring, pretty, lovable little bun to shower with love while Weng Mei Jia can sit around with nothing to do.

.... But what if it's a boy?

Is Zhou Kai going to leave his son's care to Weng Mei Jia alone? Well, his parents and grandparents can help raise him so it's probably okay, right? Oh, I forgot! You can cross out Zhou Qing Bai's name from the list because only girls deserve love and care from their dad 🥺🥺😝🥰

I'm pretty sure the author is trying to make Zhou Qing Bai and Zhou Kai "feminist" and "not like other guys" but in reality they're sexist because they think boys are stronger and can take care of themselves while girls need to be spoiled and given everything with a silver spoon.

I'm still holding a grudge over Zhou Qing Bai leaving the original Lin Qing He to raise three boys alone, plus letting her squander money while the boys don't even get to have decent food and clothing. The entire time, Zhou Qing Bai never cared enough to intervene.

I am mad because the author dont use all available character for the story. like the dog barely have any lines mentioned until ch 173. and the doggo never be any use at all to the MC and family. So, why bother introducing the dog in the first place???

and also apparently ML hobby is swimming and just introduced on ch 173 and he never swim on any lines before (LOL). The author just make it up so MC and ML can see someone else cheating (affair) that night.

This novel is very laid back and chill. I like that she's taking care of the children and using a good parenting style (or maybe just for me, cuz I didn't experience it) and her husband is very hard working (slightly more realistic than overbearing ceo's hihi). I was quite angry with her in law's, (although their opinions actually made sense, the original character was really bad before MC transmigrated) she s**ked it up and turned their opinions upside down. All in all, This is heart warming, and with this novel we can actually have a sneek peak with what was happening in the past. (And the hints of scenario of what the elderlys are boasting about 'their time'.)

A modern-day, recently graduated, adult woman starts having dreams about a kid calling her mom and asking her to feed him. She notices how malnourished the kid is and fears that she's about to be sent into a kind of desolate place, especially once she finds out she suddenly has a secret space. So, she takes out her savings and loads up on things she believes she'll need to survive in an apocalyptic era but ends up being transmigrated before she's able to get everything. Soon she realizes that she's in a novel set during '60s rural China and in a character who turns out to be the mother of the novel's three villains.

The father/ML is a soldier who actually left the original the morning after their wedding and is rarely home, so the original and ML don't really know each other. Theirs was an arranged marriage, with the original only wanting to marry bc she believed the ML will become an officer, and the ML marrying because it was expected of him. They stayed married because the original got pregnant on her wedding night and forced the ML's family to concede to her demands (living separately from the main family) and ML still sends money back to her (he makes a lot compared to others because he's a soldier). But the original barely takes care of her kids and is more into herself and later (in the novel) complications come when ML is honorably discharged early due to a serious injury, which would lead to a lot of conflict with the original, for which the original abandons her family, causing a scar on the sons, causing them to become villains. And the whole family suffer tragic deaths.

MC transmigrates just before the ML is supposed to be discharged and while trying to find her bearings, she starts taking care of the kids and feels sympathy for their novel's future. She finds that the original has a pretty decent life so decides to stay put. Before the ML arrives, the MC comes to a conclusion of keeping her distance with the ML, taking care of the kids until they're grown, and then parting with the family and making it on her own (she starts studying to get into college because she knows when the first exams are going to be reinstated and also starts making connections in the city and starts collecting outlawed items that will become valuable in the future).

Of course that changes when she and the ML fall in love. She still plans to go to college, but now wants the ML to follow her to the city and is educating her sons so they'll aim for college as well.
