Dressed up as a Real Mom

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

He Xiaoyun transmigrated in the 70s and became the mother of the hero in a book. The feats of the old lady in her youth were endless: Pretended to fall into the water and drowning, relying on the soldier in the same village on saving her, drugging the other party, and then conceiving a child; Relying on having a son to separate from the family, suspecting her husband of cheating and playing around the army.

He Xiaoyun always felt that the hero’s father is doomed for eight lifetimes. She hated these kinds of people the most but she became such a person herself…

‘I feel like I can’t talk like that anymore.’

The only fortunate thing is the old lady is still just a young woman, she’s still young, beautiful, and healthy. They are three things and she recognizes the situation no matter how bad it is.

However, at night, she thought of the ‘old man’ that made the hero full of respect. Now that she’s been forced to take over, He Xiaoyun, a single dog, isn’t all that well.

It was alright. Not that great but short so worth giving it a try to pass time. The story and characters were not very complex but it had good moments so I liked it overall

except for the transmigrating into a book part (it was pretty useless anyway), I liked the novel. Fluffy, easygoing, no dog blood drama, brainless face-slapping, misunderstanding or other cliche stuff. There is no conflict at all which might make it a little boring but it's fine because the novel is short. Recommended if are OK with that.

The writer should pay attention to the novel setting and description as it doesn't quite match the plot, I almost skipped it as another rip off novel with dog blood and cliche drama.

Very short quick read. Enjoyed this a lot! Definitely recommend. FL and ML are also written well and their son is adorbs. I wish this was longer and maybe a tiny bit more drama and some face slapping incidents cuz I love that but this had barley none and was just a Straight lighthearted fluffy read. No misunderstandings and HEA. 5 ⭐️ 😊

Slice of life, lighthearted and fluffy. A good story to read if you're looking for something without headaches, drama, deep diving etc. Perfect to refresh your mental health after heavy readings with white and black lotuses face-slapping each other.

Even amongst their families, all are kind and normal people. Purely relationship development and family fluffs.

Someone in the review said transmigration part was unnecessary and I agree. I started reading this because of "transmigration" label, and was expecting some drama and modern knowledge exploitation by MC like other similar novels, but barely... more>> any. She only made use of her modern and reader knowledge to get hints about her current situation and the big exam happened in the 90s, which could've been covered by some other plots.

So in summary.. Not what I expected but good, love the MC and ML and their families, can't hate anyone cos no one to hate. <<less

Very good translation. Thanks to ‘live user’ for finishing up the translation!
Story itself is simple but much more believable than lot of other back ro 70s story. Husband stays in the military and she gets to go live with him. He doesn’t get injured and come back like most other stories. She doesn’t run a shady business to become rich.

Her life trajectory would probably be something I would have if I had been in her place.

She adjusts to village life because that is what her upbringing was in her previous life. Romance is slow but believable. ML has an interesting character. He is not a cold noodle like in most Chinese novels. Some of their interactions are hilarious!
There are no terrible relatives. Everyone is nice. A quick read but enjoyable!
Her interaction with her child is hilarious!

I've read it twice and really loved it! This is very much SoL, no drama nothing, just daily living, childcare and a slower more domestic living kind of romance.

It's got all the sweetness and is rather short, I wanted more but maybe others would have felt it stopped without any unnecessary fillers.

All in all, I really recommend this to readers who love the very SoL story with childcare! If you like even a bit of drama involved or more plot or adventure this may be much too domestic 😊

The pace of this story was so slow to the point of being a bit boring for my taste. MC's whole reaction after transmigrating was actually quite realistic but maybe I'm just used to a more adaptive MC so I found this MC a bit bland.

Also, why everyone just accepted the brand new MC without any doubt? She was a shrew in the past and suddenly she became quite and gentle but no one felt suspicious and readily accepted her change of nature, especially her own family who supposed to... more>> know her best.

While MC's reaction was realistic, I couldn't say the same for ML. I mean, although he had a bad relationship with the original MC, he was already married for years so it's a bit unbelievable when he acted gentlemanly towards MC who was already his wife, unless he knew that his wife wasn't actually his wife. But I couldn't tell much from ML because he was like a piece of block.

Overall, this is still a nice and light read to pass the time with no drama or misunderstanding, only if you didn't mind a slow pace of course. <<less

Besides the eugenics it's alright, not much to it really, very porridge. Things go by calmly so if you can't stand slow you won't like it much.

Awesome story plot..

Although the FL quite lost at the begining of her transmigration.. She didn't panic & slowly pick-up her new life..

Althought the romance between FL & ML a bit slow.. But the story plots was so well written & the flow was so well organized.. Also more Realistic!!

In-FACT.. It's the most best "back-to-70's" novel ever!!

Many thumbs-up!!

Sorry.. but.. I find it disappointing :'' (pls don't take it and keep your motivation to read this story)

I know I shouldn't, the others story was full of spice and get me hooked but this.. I know they try to be different, relaxing and comforting. I think it such a waste not to diver to many thing that or mc's dilemma.. like did our ML love her or her previous body owner, how the love accumulated during their time together, well... still it's nice to read, at least... more>> author make it enough chapters to entertain us and not too much <<less

Why is ML so silent all the time. He is like a background character with no personality of own to speak of. I almost thought he was mute. Are people suppose to understand his mind with just a look and no words?

70's setting but no drama! Really like it! Usually all the story with 70's settings had lots of family drama. But this story really had a good family relationship between FL and MIL and SIL

a good read to pass the time! No drama at all

however, it takes time for the FL to accept the ML and maybe because she's from 21st who transmigrated, it's hard to accept the new feelings that why she felt a little bit restrained toward the ML at first?

anyway, it's a good read

To be honest, this book is the most calming romance read that I have read so far. I love the fact that there was no unnecessary drama, leaving only our leads sweet interaction. I can't deny anymore, I want to order one WJ for myself please!

Highly recommended~

A very small and short version of back to the sixties, without the scum relatives and enemies, with only one child and fewer conflict, all in all it's really a very very short version.

It's too bad the author didnt let us know more of the husband's mind in the earliest chapters. His wife's thinking and behavior changed even if they only met 3weeks a year, he should still be able to see her. Your wife of 3year, suddenly became afraid of being in one room with his husband, being so... more>> maiden like virtue, being sensible and not asking for money and taking great care of the child and his parents and didnt squable with sister in law. Those should be a red flag imo. Yet there was nothing and it was so strange that he'd tease her too. Why or in what thinking did he find her 'new' wife change? And I also wanted to know how did he feel/think of her 'old' wife.

Many things were simplified even the old and new characters were not utilized better. But, this was a story that could be written as long as Back to the 60s yet it didnt happen, so there's that. <<less

it is cute not very well written characters are one dimensional but it does not tire your brain. There is no villain no conflict and smooth sailing life. Transmigration is a bit out of place and unnecessary, it could have been just as good without that kind of plot point.

After reading until in the middle of the story, I realized that I already read this novel previously but I forget the details, so I read it again until the end.

It's a slice of life, light read story. He Xiaoyun was transmigrated and luckily she get a beautiful family, that didn't even suspect or curious why suddenly the 'unreasonable He Xiaoyun' became a calm and collected person. She mended her relationship with her husband, Wei Jianwei, and later she became a university student like her dream in her previous life.

The... more>> ML, Wei Jianwei, is a great husband. He is a soldier and occasionally a house husband when FL is tired. He pamper FL and not shunning the work around their home.

Their son, Wei Yuanhang is the cute and charming character that made this story have a sense of comedy, along with his little uncle.

This story rather slow, the romance is warm enough, but kind of forgettable. The ending about also leave a hanging question about the 'universe' FL transmigrated in.

Overall, it's a light read. <<less

Another good slice-of-life story. Perhaps because I have read other similar setting novels, I felt this novel was a bit bland and lacked details. Or maybe the goal of MC is just different. She just wanted to have a good life with her family.

As some reviewers mentioned, no one questioned the sudden change in MC's character.

A nice 70's novel without any major conflict. Its a wholesome slice of life, supportive in laws and family. Its cute but I can sense that it will bore some people for its lack of drama, but I also know that it would hit well with others. As for me, I was surprised I ddint get bored with this p, though I do wish we had some face slapping here and there even if not a major one.

This can appear somewhat lacking from the other 70's novel i've read, and... more>> precisely because I entered with expectation that I was teeny little bit let down. The MC's son, supposedly main protaganist start of the story life was only giving a passing moment but throughout the story he's there! Its cute but I did have some misgiving about the shyness protrayed by the MC at the start. I mean im okay with shyness and all, but I think it mostly have to do with it being overdone and wanting to be seen a pure white lotus that it came off a bit annoying. Once they got used to intimacy though, it got better.

The story is very short and I read it in just a day, the ending can also be somewhat lacking. I wish I read more of their capital - college life. <<less

Its not perfect but its a great novel.

MC transmigrated to a villain mother of the hero, but after MC take over I love the interaction between MC and her kid, its feel like MC is the real mother not just some random person who come into the villain mother body.

ML is the definiton of talk less do more. When he talk its either teasing his wife or just simple flirting. This serious but naughty man is really my type eh.

Its slice of life, I cant expect much for the ending,... more>> its nice cut no more no less <<less
