Li Xia was reborn. At that time, she was taking her two children to the city to find her husband, but her husband was determined to divorce her. This time she stopped pestering him and calmly accepted the proposal.

“The son is yours and I will have the daughter. I can’t raise two by myself.”

In her previous life, she worked hard to raise two children, while the man didn’t even care about them for a day. When they grew up, the father and son recognized each other in college. Since the blood relationship cannot be broken, you should raise him since childhood, and don’t tire her to death. The man thought about it for a long time and agreed to her request.

The two divorced peacefully, she took her daughter and he took his son. She wanted to stay in the city to make money but had no place to stay. After coming out of his alley, she hugged her daughter and curled up in the corner. An old lady came out from inside and looked at her for a long time before speaking.

“Do you want to stay in the city?” She stood up and nodded. The Old lady continued, “My son had an accident and became a vegetative. I am also ill and will soon die. If you are willing to marry my son and take care of him until he survives or dies, then my house and money will belong to you. I will help you and your daughter get a city household registration.”

What she paid was a short time dedication, while what she got was a city household registration and a house for both herself and her daughter. This deal is not a loss. She thought about it and nodded.

They got married immediately. On the wedding night, she let her daughter play by herself, and she fetched water to wipe the man’s body. Looking at his handsome face, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. He was good-looking and a backbone of the procuratorate, but he became like this now. Seeing her Scrubbing him, turning him over, feeding him using nasogastric pipes and how carefully she took care of him, the old lady closed her eyes with peace of mind after a month.

After the old lady passed away, she looked at the balance on the passbook and planned to start a small business – selling breakfast. That day, she wiped the man’s face and muttered about the troubles she had encountered. His eyelids moved and he opened his eyes.

I’ve read another with similar setting before that was good but left me quite unsatisfied so I was hoping this one would deliver. It did not.

I love homey vibes, slice of life, romance, child rearing, a sprinkle of drama. With all those genres present in this one it was utterly lacklustre.

The sense of realism is true but the narrative’s boring and the atmosphere nonexistent. It’s just very lacking in depth. I mean the narrative structure is literally like:

... more>>
  • “Li Xia took a nap, went shopping in the afternoon, ate, slept, and made dumplings.”
  • ”Li Xia finished working. She washed up and went to bed. The next morning she made breakfast.”
  • “The feeling between the two is good. Shen Haiyang is still recovering and felt unwell after a while. For the first time Li Xia was on top. After finishing she helped Shen Haiyang clean up and laid down..”
The other two are paraphrased but the first one is not; literally the same structure. Their first time so was utterly un-f*cking-romantic. So do their second, third, etc. I’m not looking for full blown smut but I literally didn’t feel a drop of chemistry at. All.

Actually it already gave away from the start, when it felt like the author just can’t wait to get grandma out of the picture, cramming out the Shen’s history out of her mouth then killing her off. It all feels hasty going scene to scene but never actually staying long enough to establish whatever vibe/feel/atmosphere there should’ve been.

My experience the whole 21 chapters felt like listening to unemotional first gen AI narration. <<less

I'm amazed by how realistic this story was (if you ignored the rebirth part).

MC didn't have a golden finger except for her knowledge of the future trend. But she was hardworking and wasn't afraid of taking risk so she was able to become rich rather quickly. However, she wasn't omnipotent and she also had some up and down moment in her business.

... more>>
Spoiler

Some might think that MC was too greedy for money until she didn't have time to take care of her family but I don't think so. She was reborn in fast-changing era and if she didn't immediately take action, she would lose many opportunities. And don't forget, ML was sick and needed to have surgery anytime. She also wanted to give her kids the best education based on their talents and all of it needed money.

However, aside from being hardworking, I also think that MC was quite lucky because she had:

    • Money from in-laws to fund her business
    • The sensible kids who could take care of themselves
    • The reliable husband who could help taking care of the house and kids and who could support her unconditionally

With those factos above, she could manage her business with ease.

[collapse]

Her relationship with her kids also quite heartwarming to read.

Spoiler

At first, I felt heartache when she decided to give up his son's custody to his ex. However, the more I read, the more I could understand MC's psychology at that time. She was divorced and penniless. If she forced herself to take care of them both like in her previous life, she would become the same resentful and bitter woman who didn't have a good relationship with her own kids. Moreover, she also understood that her ex also had an obligation to take care of the kid even though they're divorced.

Don't worry though, MC would take her son back since her ex was unreliable. But she didn't do it until she settled down first since she wanted to give her kids a good environment to grow.

MC also didn't instantly had a good relationship with her step-son. Although she was a good mother, a kid would still naturally prefer his biological mother more. It took time for the step-son to realize that his mom was unreliable and MC was the one who treated him better. There's also a case where he was afraid that his father would be stolen by MC's kids but with MC and ML's efforts, the step-son finally could become more open-minded and cheerful.

[collapse]

There's also romance between MC and ML but it wasn't too lovey dovey since they were already past that age. Their relationship was more mature and love came naturally from companionship and facing the ups and dows together. <<less

i don't normally haave the patience to write a review but some of the reviews here left me stunned like did we actually read the same book. This book is all about redemption if you ask me. We see how the different choice made by one woman brought about change in two different families. I saw someone saying how she was a bad mother and relied and her husband's money and I really ask did you read the novel. Really? And even she relied on her husband how is that... more>> wrong.

the extra chapter was very emotional as well. I felt so bad for the two brothers in the previous life. Especially Shen Hui. Cause on one hand regardless of the life Yiyi achieved success despite not having a loving family. On the other hand Shen Hui never got the loving family got cheated and did not achieve his dream. <<less

I love mother with buns story and never ask for perfect parents from nl lovel. but this one MC not so good but still decent mom sadly she never improved and gone worse in my opinion. (Author might not know something wrong with logic and reason about raise a child when we're Asian anyway)

only good part in this novel is careers plot.

If you come for childcare this not for you, if you read with logic, it hurtful and made you miss our toxic mom.

For me The whole plot is... more>> about the single mom who rise her children again 🙏 when first life is normal mode then when rebirth she ask for hardcore mode. It's harder and very messy, very ill logical 😩 live her life what she want and get results she want (not realistic at all)

All problems lay in MC herself. Like she has inferiority complex. She is old and poor lonely mother stay in countryside when kids have their own life but she not satisfied with her life and them like not happy enough, not successful enough, not rich enough etc. then she die and raise them again... Then she want to be richer and successful mom (not better mom for kids)

For me both life always good at it own ways. She try to be a good mom but still miss the point.

The true support 💪 in both life is the daughter, she took the mom jobs and I feel sad when MC disappointed how her become in first life and hold grudges about her son when she not have time to raise him (the daughter does)

Author miss the point how to be mom and what more important for child grow.

First life she still protects her child but for second one, she throw them into fire pit. So they will know how awesome she is than other. it's really messy and savage. All her choice always bad and harder.

Unreasonable and stubborn.

Spoiler

- she beg around for job with child when live in china when must have local household registered? For job, still not to go to jill.

-She ok to be stepmom but ditched her own. 🤷 For whatever reason that not wise. And she know how bad your ex is.

-she go to make money but never enough and always use ML money for any event rise. And not balanced time well if you read it she not take care of her own kids, let them take care them self and she busy about money.

-she some kind of mother know best. I know my kid want, what the best for my kids, I try to give them best, the thing I give my children is good for them etc. but she never ask what her kids really want

Surprisingly not bad.

The story is about Li Xia's redemption. And how she changed her life and become a successful entrepreneur. Romance was not really deeply showcased by the author but the husband was always there for her in the story. Don't look for sweet and silly romance here.

The main focus of the novel is Li Xia's career and family. Villains are the exes.

Pretty good read

It's a good read, even though the main focus of the story is mixed up as in they first focus on family bonding, then it got switched to starting a business in the 80s, then they focus on being the giants in the business world. Wait, I'm not done yet. They mixed in with a smuggling case which I don't mind. But the story end where the children got their jobs & partner respectively.

I know it's a slice of life, I don't mind it bcs it's a good read anyway.... more>> But maybe it's not for some people <<less

The summary wherein she leave the son to her ex-husband almost made me sob from heartbreak. I was thinking that putting myself on her shoes, I could never do that to my son. The summary almost made me not want to read it. However, I'll give it a chance.

I will start just start reading this and will update my review once completed.

A rather enjoyable read! The writing itself is pretty straightforward and sometimes bland but I think it works well. Well-paced story and there are some slight time jumps to keep the plot rolling without dragging it out. I like that both FL and ML are level-headed and they feel realistic to me.

FL may not have been the best or most present parent in both lives, but she has definitely worked on improving herself. She thinks and communicates her feelings more. Plus, with the presence and care from ML, their family... more>> is cohesive and loving. In a way, it's sort of (but not quite) a breadwinner mom x house husband dad situation.

I'm usually not one to read the extra chapter (s) but I'm glad I did for this one. Happy to have closure for them. <<less
