Sheng MuMu was transmigrated into a novel.

While others transmigrate to become celebrities, she ends up becoming a stepmother to a 17-year-old young master of a prestigious family?!

She wants to escape! But wait, what’s this? Pretending to be his wife for a monthly allowance of 500,000 in pocket money that can be freely spent on her card? Suddenly she doesn’t mind so much!

Everyone guesses: “She’s just a stepmother, how much could he really care for her? President Qi just brought a woman home to take care of his son.”

On the day of the banquet, surrounded by the media, Sheng MuMu hooks her arm around the man’s neck and sweetly calls him: “Dear~”

The man’s eyes darken as he pulls her slender waist closer, naturally dispelling the rumors.

Then people say: “She’s just a brainless trophy wife, just a pretty face.”

Sheng MuMu: “You dare call this 700-scoring top-scoring beauty from the city just a trophy wife?”

She opens a flower shop, becoming an internet sensation with people lining up to take photos, earning pots full of money; she starts a brand, appearing on the cover of financial magazines’ annual rankings.

And after that…

Tsundere stepson: “Better than a real mother.”

Vicious mother-in-law: “Daughter-in-law, when are you taking me square dancing?”

Until one night, Sheng MuMu’s earlobes blushing as she pushes away the man pinning her against the wall.

“President Qi, our agreement is just a contract marriage. ”

The man’s eyes narrow as he loosens his tie and leans down:

“The agreement? I tore that up long ago.”

Sheng MuMu: “You…mmmph”

The kind of novel that you can pause and pick up at any time.

Romance is a slow burn and the development of the family relationships is also relaxed, with conflicts generally making sense and the resolutions are acceptable. As a bonus, it’s really well translated and the translator’s website is one of the best free ones out there.

It started out really fun and entertaining. The romance was cute and the MC getting along with her stepson was also a fun read. However, when the MC and ML finally confirmed their feelings for each other, the story suddenly became boring.

A drama-free family-oriented slice of life story with some romance.

It is a story about our FL who was a a middle income hardworking lady in her ori world who transmigrated into a rich household. She is the contract wife of a bigshot CEO.

FL is very satisfied with the original contract that ensures she stays with the CEO aka ML till the death of his grandma as his grandmother was the one who matchmade them and he didn’t want to disappoint his grandmother. FL will then earn 500000yuan per month as... more>> per her contract.

FL is happy with that as she can now live a luxurious life. In her previous life she worked hard but she could never achieve this much luxury and now its so easy for her to earn money. So FL takes it as a job. She will be a good wife to ML without the s*x as he didn’t want that and also she will attempt to be a good mother to the stepson.

FL is very sincere in her emotions and she naturally wins over the heart of the ML and stepson, also the mother-in-law who initially disliked her as she thought FL was merely a golddigger. But once she saw FL’s sincerity she was also won over. Basically FL lived a carefree life and interacted with a lot of people and made new friends in this world.

It’s very drama-free as most obstacles are solved within a chapter or two. Some plot twists also occurred.

Basically a chill read.

Some fun stuffs I liked:

  • Cheerful smart IQ and EQ FL who isn’t boring.
  • ML also has an interesting personality. He is cold and indifferent initially but later opens up.
  • The stepson has one of the best fun personality in this story. He had a quiet childhood and is rebellious as he wants his father’s approval and well, he just admires his dad alot. Once FL is in his life, she opens up stepson’s heart too and makes him feel so loved. He is so cute!! With his lego obsession lol!
  • Fun relationship dynamics between Cheng Zhuo and Qiao Li.
  • Su Tingran finding a new dream after she left the scumbag.
A nice read about family ties. <<less

I love this novel. Thank you for the team who translated this story.

FL character is not boring, and not over Mary Sue. She play her role as a step mom really well.

ML is quiet but not boring. I'm still in chapter 61 so I couldn't say much.

Stepson is not annoying. He just want attention from his father.

Check out this novel if you're looking for soap-drama free story.

Not gonna lie it's pretty generic, but the slowburn is decent. MC is loveable and ML isn't too bad either. They make a lovely couple. The story is a light-hearted slice of life where MC (and ML) kept (more often than not, unrealistically) winning without much drama. Minimal novelty here but didn't mean it wasn't enjoyable.

The part of the story where they slowly start to accept their feelings and opening up, ugh, It really made my heart flutter. They handled their emotions like an adult should, while being so sweet... more>> towards each other.

What I didn't like:

Spoiler

I didn't like the subplot that MC was a lost child of a rich family. I thought the story was off with a good start about one's worth as a woman and patriarchal bias in society. Her being the kidnapped (?) child of a powerful background kinda ruined it.

In later parts, it started to feel like it comes down to MC being exceptionally beautiful, professionally capable, and even from a good family background that she becomes undisputably truly worthy to stay by super OP ML's side. When in fact, she can just be herself and he likes her as it is.

Perhaps I'm a hopeless romantic but I think romance could just happen from companionship between parties involved in any shape and form. There shouldn't be a necessity to prove yourself in every single way to the world that you're worthy. I hope one day I'll stumble upon a novel that resonates with this line of thought.

Raiding a 17 year old son? Falling in love with a contract husband? This is one full of cliches, and served as a good pastime.

I liked all the characters and story, unique premise with teenager instant son, and a happy loving family. The translation was also good. However, I will not give this more than 3 stars in any case. First off, comparing with other stories that have a similar setting, this one really fails to impress, and the story is exceptionally 2 dimensional. It felt like I was reading... more>> a 2nd rate fanfic of some sort. At one point the story was solely focused on the se***l tension between the 2 protagonists and this was dragged out for many chapters. There really was no balance, and it felt more like storytelling as you go, so there was not much of a storyline either.

I wouldn't discourage people from reading this, but do go in with low expectations. It might be it for you if you are looking for a transmigration/ instant family trope to satisfy cravings, but there is not much about the transmigration either. <<less

I like the characters. The main cast is fun, and the villains leave quickly. Pacing is a bit slow, but rarely feels stagnant. I appreciate that even without romantic progress there's still familial progress.

My only complaint is that the MC's flower business has really s*upid gimmicks. I'm not even gonna spoiler tag them, because they don't matter to the plot, I just think they're ridiculous. The first one was a daily flower delivery service with a 1% chance of getting free flowers for life. Like, every customer is gonna get... more>> 3 per year, right? Unsustainable. The second one was a "one flower, one lifetime" service, where each customer can only buy a single flower in their life. Like, repeat customers are the bread and butter of business, how can you build brand loyalty if they literally can't come back? <<less

So good. It's your typical transmigration story that is really well written. The romance was alow but in a good way that did not feel forced and there were no parts where I was thinking "what the he'll is happening? ㅡ.ㅡ " Also the intimacy scenes did not feel forced or bad (in chinese novels it often feels like the FL is not willing). The ending was really good and was not hurried, which I feel is also rare with these kind of stories. Overall a really good read,... more>> definitely recommend if you want something lighthearted and fun! <<less

The biggest flaw is it kinda felt like the story was supposed to end like 60 chapters earlier and everything that comes after it is just side stories that does nothing to the story. Which is annoying because there's other missing parts the author could've written about instead to up their word-count.

Give grandma her grand (grand?) child! She's a freaking 90 (?) year old who's had a brain tumor for gods sake, hurry up and push one out you lazy bum! Grandma's only got a few years left in her and a grandchild is all she's asked for!

[collapse]

Even then, before that it felt like there was no real overarching story-line except their relationship and son. The romance itself was decent, but the things going on around it just... there's hardly any build-up or follow-up to anything. Things just happens as if it's a weekly tv-show. Like when they find out who the "villain" is and then in a few sentences that entire plot is solved never to be heard from again. Almost no overlap between characters, when one characters story-line is over we barely hear from them again. Maybe a grumpy stare at some party from one of them or part of the girls playing mahjong if they're lucky.

It wasn't exactly terrible and would've almost had a 3/5 if it wasn't for the fact that a large section was just stalling. So 2/5. <<less

This story was a typical transmigration story that I usually enjoy the most. The plot of this novel wasn't something new though but it's quite refreshing to have a 17yo as a step-son instead of the usual mini-adult toodler. The dynamic between MC and her step-son was really amusing. They acted more like best friends rather than mother and son but there's no doubt that they really cared and loved each others.

I also love how natural the progression of MC and ML's relationship was. When ML realized his feeling to... more>> MC, he took his time to properly woo her and didn't cross the line before MC accepted him. He also asked her consent before making an intimate gesture. MC, in return, also tried her best to surprise ML so they both really tried hard to cherish each others.

However, considering the length of the novel, I think their progress was a bit too slow. Inevitably, the story became a bit boring over times.

Spoiler

They only got together at around chapter 170++ which was more than half of the novel.

[collapse]

Despite of that, I still find the story quite enjoyable to read <<less

Really sweet and well done novel - likeable fleshed out characters with some interesting emotional plotlines. But as another reviewer said, around the 180 mark where the characters have established their feelings for each other and everything is cruisy, it feels like an extended epilogue. I feel happy dropping the novel here since all loose ends are tied but and the characters are happy. This shouldn’t deter you from reading as a I had a good experience regardless!

Pretty easygoing and light read for when you need it most. It's like the ideal life you wished for. Nothing too serious or trauma inducing. Just enough for unwinding ε (´｡•᎑•`) っ ♡

A story that hits the point of where it should have been taken out to pasture. There are no real antagonists or event for the protagonists to overcome in this story. We do have a few "bad" characters show up but their overall impact is like a passing breeze. Unfortunately, a lot of this story is the reader being told things instead of actually seeing them.

The MC is a young woman who has just transmigrated over into the body of a woman in a contract marriage. She's odd and often... more>> comes across as childish. However, she is apparently very business savvy and also quick to learn. This is something that is implied as we don't really see her handling anything. It's more of a "we'll do this and we did this and we were successful" kind of approach to her being epic. She is also one of the luckiest characters I've read in a while.

The ML is a serious CEO who is also incredibly handsome (the amount of times this was described was almost mind-numbing) and very smart. He has a 17 year old son but he mysteriously doesn't look old enough to have him. The ML built his corporation from the ground up and is an incredibly feared person in business. He falls for the MC first but it's like he has zero experience with affection (from giving it to receiving it) which makes a lot of their interactions awkward to read. Their romance doesn't really start until chapter 70 and then it's an incredibly long haul. This isn't slow burn, this is like... can't get the fire lit because some of the wood (the MC) is trying to avoid the fire.

The story starts out with the MC waking up in her new body and adjusting super quickly to being transmigrated. The first 40 chapters or so zoom along to help us see how her life is. She's wealthy, she's smart in business and she makes some quick friends in the wealthy housewife group. She also makes some enemies too but those are often dealt with so quickly that readers can be left wondering "Who was that again?" Every problem the MC has is solved by someone else.

Spoiler

Her hubby's assistant found out the person who was slandering her business and her employee was the one who confronted them (sure, he gave a nice little speech about the enemy not being worthy but still odd).

Her brother showed up to destroy her business and again, stopped by her employee. She was also incredibly chill about the whole thing. I know it's not her real brother but she had zero fs about the fact that this guy smashed in the window of her business and was there to assault her. I think she might have had a brief moment but it was quickly a "Oh, well, guess we can remodel now" to replace it.

Then there was another company trying to screw over her business (and every other flower business) by signing an exclusive contract with the only company who shipped a certain bunch of flowers. Again, we're told she came up with this awesome plan in the background (that did include looking into other suppliers and making deals with them) but then it turns out that her real older brother can just give her the flower gardens from said exclusive contract (despite the fact that his business has nothing to do with the flower business but apparently does?).

[collapse]

That aside, there are some very cliche plot points so you can almost play CEO and Wife bingo with this one. He is domineering towards her but it's not like he buys her a mall. Instead, it's more like she showed up at the mall and it already belonged to him. Which is pretty much how he views her but he's not domineering enough to make it seem wrong.

On a final note, the interactions between all of them were rather entertaining (and probably the main reason I rated this as a 3) but they start becoming childish about halfway through. Even the rating system she jokingly tells him she's rating him on. <<less

the MC is hinted to be a child of another super wealthy family. Like can we not get one novel where the MC is not secretly a rich lost child? It ruined the story for me cos I was hoping for this to be different

It must have been fate for me to read this since it was fully translated on the day I found this novel. The whole story honestly feels light and fluffy to me. There's no big problem or drama. Just slowly falling in love with each other and building family relationships.

It does get slightly boring near the end of the novel since it feels so slow, but it's still a really nice read.
