According to Meatshield

this story is great! A super refreshing and hilarious read!



Basically the FL who worked as an actress in her OG world transmigrates into the world of a novel as a rich CEO's wife. In the novel, her character is used as a foil for the heroine. She's not her rival in the usual sense as they never vie for the same man nor do they really actively compete but they're often compared to one another because both are commoners who married rich husbands. The only difference is the heroine and her husband are known as the perfect couple while the FL's character and her husband are known for having a superficial and distant relationship. This of course, all changes when our FL arrives.


The FL is a riot and it's hard not to like her because she's hilariously vain, narcissistic but also secretly really sharp. All she ever wanted to be was rich so when she enters the novel she's determined to repair her relationships with her son, husband, and in laws in order to maintain her cushy lifestyle. That being said, she doesn't bend over backwards to please anyone, rather she uses her great people skills and observational abilities to find ways to get along with everyone she meets best and accomplish her own goals. If you liked the female lead from Transmigration: Raising the Child of the Male Lead, you'll like this FL because they're pretty similar. Probably the biggest difference is, while this FL likes being in the spotlight, she doesn't enter the entertainment industry because she'd rather spend her days as a lazy, rich, and idle housewife.


The ML, her husband, is a breath of fresh air for the rich CEO character too because he's shockingly not a cold iceberg with extremely high IQ but low EQ! Instead, he's super good at reading people, considerate, and very very patient. I really love the fact that because he's genuinely a good guy and dutiful spouse and father, even before he really falls for the FL, he still treated her with all the respect she deserves as his wife and offered her support whenever he could. He doesn't question her changes in personality much because rather than doubt her and her motives, he'd rather work on bringing their family closer together. Later, when he does fall for the FL, his pampering goes up several notches and he ends up treating the FL even better.

At one point he buys her a whole ass castle in France

Lol it's just funny though that because the FL can be quite childish at times, he sometimes helplessly states that he feels like he's raising two kids and that she's the younger of the two.



Their son is soooo adorable. Despite being 6/7 he likes to act like a responsible little adult which makes the FL eager to tease him and watch him act like an actual kid. One of her hobbies is dressing him up in cute animal onesies and taking a bunch of pictures which embarrasses him to no end. One of my favourite scenes is when

Spoiler: Spoiler

she threw him a Harry Potter themed birthday party at his request. While the ML dressed as a Hogwarts professor, the FL insisted on dressing like a student to match with her son (because she'll always be young at heart she claims) and then spent the rest of the day making her tiny son call her "fellow classmate" in front of his friends LOL. The poor child was so embarrassed.

All in all this a story that's very funny and lighthearted. There are few complications and the original novel leads don't affect the lives of our MCs that much at all.

 

What about their other children? For From the synopsis, there's sentence that mention, "after five babies...".

Do they already have other kids at the beginning or do they have them as the story proccessed?

 

In the original story, the original host had five more children after her first son. She did this out of competition with the female lead of the story, since the news always compared them, including her second & third born daughters against the female lead's second-birth boy & girl twins. Then original host went in-vitro to have male triplets in order to show up the female lead, but that just resulted in the news calling her a "tool for procreation in a loveless marriage", and it also ruined her health afterwards.

The MC arrived in the timeline before the host tried to conceive her second child though, so she only has the one son to deal with.

 

Original host is stupid and have bad luck to be control by plot. I think she is happy to be free from plot.

 

I, for some reason neither like the story nor the ML. He is someone who wholeheartedly admires someone else's wife in front of his newlywed wife and expects her not to be jealous. He himself admits he is not a good father material yet accepts his mothers arrangement of letting him get along with his son more then his wife. He knows his wife is new to all this luxury and feel uncomfortable around servants. And what does he do? Instead of comforting her and making her at ease , he send her to a hotel. Instead of solving a problem he created another problem, not letting his wife integrate with the new environment. HE made her insecure of her position in the family, HE made her belive that she need to be a people pleaser yet HE goes around having affairs cause he can't approve of her having more children when HE and HIS parents made her do it. Even when the new mc raised the question of how she as a mother knows less about her son then all of them , he laughed it off as a joke. He even says , it was her decision to give her child to be raised by his mother, despite the fact that his mom said to her that she is new to nobility and wouldn't know how to raise a noble child?! (WTF) How he expects her, who is a new wife of a rich family with a poor background, go against her rich mother-in-law? He is happy with the way mc reacts , cause she doesn't asks for his attention and tries to adhere any kind of intimacy, while the ori!host was hungry for his love. Typical cn ml. He even invites mc into the office even though she behave less like a lady then the ori!host while he conveniently forgot to do the same for the ori!host. It's like he is happy to have a gold digger in exchange of a wife who wants to and would do anything to fit in his world.

 

Thank for spoiler, i thought ML is nice and decent. Now reading your comment/spoiler, I dislike him. He is so disgusting.

 

Eh, I have to stick up for the ML on some points here.

First of all, although it's not spelled out in specifics, it's implied even in the beginning, that the personality of the original host used to be exactly like the current personality of the MC, and that's the personality ML fell in love with and married. It's part of why the ML did not question MC's sudden change in personality (again). From his POV, his wife underwent a sudden change in personality sometime after they got married, and now for some reason is "returning to her origins". Later on, the MC also finds out there's suspicious holes in the memories she got from the original host, including the ones of how she and ML ended up together. While we don't know what exactly happened... the comments section brought up the possibility of a Plot-induced second personality, or another transmigrator being the "original host", or some other timey whimey/reincarnation event... but the "gold digger" MC is exactly what the ML originally married for, moreso than the "original host" personality.

Secondly, there's no actual proof that the ML ever cheated on his wife in the original storyline. The actual wording was that there was tabloid insinuations about ML and other women, and that the female protag saw the original host getting mad at a reporter for asking about ML and another woman. Remember, the "story" is told from the POV of the female protagonist, who had little real interaction with the MC and ML. Her POV is influenced by the tabloids, which loved to treat the original host as a foil against her, and she may be biased in believing that ML is a cheat like other rich men, unlike her husband. The MC, who has a higher EQ than original host and much better at reading people, after spending some time getting to know ML, doesn't believe he's that kind of person. Not that the probability is zero, but the values that he was raised with would've made it unlikely.

Thirdly, I don't think original host is blameless in not raising of their son. Yes, her mother-in-law was part of the problem, but not an unsurmountable one as MC had an easier time than she expected in getting back into the son's life. And ML was supportive and actively helpful of her getting close to the son as soon as MC told him she wanted to. On the other hand, from his POV, the "original host" personality saw her position as more important than her child, and never saw the importance of getting to know the kid at all. You can tell this attitude way original host had her other kids - two daughters weren't "good enough", so she had to go and use technology to have male triplets. To her, having children is counting coup against a rival, and not actually taking responsibility for the lives she created. With this kind of personality, I wouldn't trust her to raise a child either.

 

I never said original was blameless. But ML was to blame more then her. He was the one married her , it was his responsibility to make sure she is settling in well. He could have mediated when he saw her being uncomfortable with servants but he didn't. When he saw her getting jealous of his praises for oir!fl , he should have talk to her and made her realise that she is the one he loves, he didn't. When he saw media badmouthing her and comparing her with someone else, he should've defended her, he didn't. When everyone was saying original couple loves each other and goes everywhere together and they don't, he should've went places with her, if her behavior doesn't match with high society functions, he could have invited tutors for her, he didn't. He should've introduced her with his business partners or at least employees at least once, but he didn't. When his mother took the responsibilities of raising their son, and didn't let her meet as often or made her uncomfortable to meet often , he should've interfered, he didn't. When he felt , she is taking status as more important then the child , he should've talked to her out of it, he didn't. They made her clang to the status when they took away her child from her and in return gave her money and properties.He should've been with her most of the time but he was married to his work most of time. When his cheating news was circulating, if it was false , and he saw it was bothering her, he should've have cleared up the matter by talking, again he didn't. There are so many thing he should've and could've done but he didn't. The one thing he did was keeping mum and feeding her insecurities. After marriage, every girl who enters a joint family changes. It's the husbands duty to make her at ease and bring her back to normal which he epically failed. So, yes! He is responsible party for their failed relationship.

 

My god...thank god I'm not read it yet. I hate this kind of ML. I rather have Cold and expressionless ML than having this type. The cold one doesn't give a f*** with other woman while this type of ML with gentleman mask will give more wounds with his behavior having anonymous relationship with other woman. By the way thanks for the spoiler

 

Any interactions with the fl and ml

 

I feel like you are making a lot of assumptions about the ML, just like MC initially did, based on incomplete and inaccurate information. Was ML perfect? No. But he's not an irresponsible scum who ignored his wife's silent suffering like what you're describing here either.

The MC's knowledge of the original host's relationship with ML came from two sources: One was the "story", which was something she read long ago and thus only remembers the major points of. As well, the story was told from the POV of the female protagonist, who had no interaction with ML's family, and thus no insight as to whatever went on privately in their relationship. Rather, the female protag gets her info from the scandal rags and her own assumptions, making most of this info third hand in terms of accuracy. The only things that could be trusted as true is that the original host gave birth to five more children, and got lambasted by the tabloids during that period of time.

The second source is the original host's memories, but this is also unreliable. First of all, she didn't get the "original timeline future" memories, only things up to the point of arrival, so we have no first hand insight to whatever happened when original host really went off on her baby-making craze. For another, MC initially had no access to the... "MC-personality" of the original host. For a third, MC only searched the memories for specific things to assuage her curiosity or to handle specific circumstances, but didn't exactly internalize everything. Fourth, the original host herself did not have perfect memory about some things, or didn't bother to remember other things, or had her recall clouded by perception.

A good example is when MC brought up how the news criticized her when her eldest son was born, but her friend pointed out no such thing happened, and in fact the media was all congratulatory at the time. For another, the female protag remembers a time, before she successfully married her male protag, where the media lambasted her as a commoner gold-digger, and compared her to the "true princess" original host, in a complete reversal of the later situation MC came into. But obviously the original host had no recollection of this, possibly not having paid any attention when her PR was good.

Speaking of, the female protag was able to ignore the tabloids just fine when she was the victim. As well, it was mentioned that there were other married wealthy young ladies who got unfavorably compared to female protag as well, and no one else went off the rocker because of it like the original host did. And at most, the criticism from the tabloids are all along the lines of "only the female protag's marriage is true love and all others are loveless"...so I'm not sure what grounds the ML or anyone else has to stop them or "defend" the original host with. Additionally, these tabloids are from Hong Kong, which does still have "freedom of the press" in the law books even after returning to China, and does not do the heavy handed media censorship thing.

As for getting jealous of female protag over his praise of the female protag...I'm sorry, but unless the ML is outright telepathic, I just don't see where he'd get that from. The ML has no interactions with female protag, never talked to her, never showed up on the same picture frame. The one time he praised her was to comment she's admirable career-woman at her wedding... which is sincere because it's objectively true and what, was he supposed to diss the bride at her high society wedding? No normal minded person would suspect him of having feelings for the female protag from that, and I don't believe the original host even held that suspicion against him. MC was basically scouring for a memory to explain why the original host so hated the female protag and that was the only intersection of the two she found.

For another thing, the original host was not actually from a commoner household (from her own POV, of course; to the public, even the moderately wealthy are commoners compared to ML's family). She's from a middle-upper class family who raised her specifically to be a debutante who will marry into a wealthy family, and grew up associating with high class peers. So no, I don't believe that long term, she had problems settling into the "noble life", and in fact, she may well have agreed that her mother-in-law (or even nannies!) raising her son is the "proper" practice of high society. The MC's impression about that "hotel incident" is likely talking through her own commoner-born bias. After all, ML's family owns a luxury hotel chain, and he semi-permanently lives out of a hotel in Beijing because it's a more efficient commute than his actual residence there. I feel that from his POV, living in a hotel is just not that different from living at home, except cozier and with more discrete staff.

Also, I want to say that communication needs to be a two way street. As MC proved that immediately after she arrived (and before the change in personality became too obvious), ML was the one who initiated a conversation with her about not wanting more kids. So he obviously isn't averse to sitting down and talking problems out. But we don't know whether, if, or how he may have tried to work things out with the original host after getting married, and who shared more blame in the breakdown.

From the bits and pieces of retrospect in the story, and how others described the original host, however, I find it more likely that the original host was (raised to be) obsessed with her image of a "proper" debutante/matron, stubbornly and silently clung to it against all advice from everyone else to the contrary... At any rate, while even the ML himself doesn't hold himself to be blameless for their unhappy state of marriage, I find it hard to believe to original host's original fate to be mostly his fault.

 

Can you give some spoilers regarding the original protagonists?

 

They don't really show up much, but this is what I recall of their mentions:

The "story" MC remembers is basically the classic ice king CEO falls for talented and determined commoner girl. They fight to get married against the objections of the male protag's parents. There's a friend of the male protag who also falls for the female protag and woos her as the 2nd male protag. But she eventually chooses the male protag, the 2mp becomes a friend/supporter of their union. Eventually they get together and throw fluff/dog food everywhere for the rest of the story. The female protag remains a working woman helping the male protag with his business, while also taking the time to have kids, a son, and then a pair of boy-girl twins.

Later, we also learn that the MP's family and ML's family are actually friendly acquaintances, and their businesses appear to be neither rivals nor partners. MP and ML are also friends, something their wives weren't aware of at first. Their eldest sons are also acquainted with each other, though I think their mothers were aware of that at least, since the upper upper class circle is only so big.

Anyway, some butterfly effect of the MC's presence caused ML to help the male protag out when his business in the USA had some problems by providing some overseas connections. This led to the female protagonist giving birth to the twins in Hong Kong instead of in the USA (from the story). This led to her mother-in-law taking care of the kids while the FP was recovering from birth, leading to the MIL developing strong feelings for the twins and thus refusing to let FP bring the twins with her to Beijing where she usually resided with MP. (Actually quite similar to what happened with MC's mother-in-law, and FP did lose the argument with her MIL, eventually going to Beijing with only her eldest son.)

When MC attended the month-old party for the twins, she was surprised that the FP's figure was still bloated from pregnancy, and not miraculously healed by a protag aura or whatever. They didn't really interact though. Unknown to her, but shown to the reader, was that FP was also suffering from a bit of post-natal depression at the time.

Hm...one last tidbit. Apparently the male protag knows the MC's original host, at least well enough to identify her two different "personalities" from before MC came along, and thus took the MC's personality as normal. While it's possible he may have gotten some of that info from ML, it's also possible that he may have actually encountered the orig host before since she also associated with the upper class social circle. MC of course found no interaction with MP in the original host's memories. So it's a bit of an unexplained mystery there...

 

Does the Mc have bad relation with her mother-in-law?
Also are there any antagonist in the story?

 

Not really. MC actually found her mother-in-law much easier to get along with than she'd feared just going by the original host's memories. All she did was flatter her mother-in-law and find ways to blame whatever insufficiency she had at the time on her husband.

Once she wrangled to have her son spend weekends with her, she basically provoked him into being a more lively child. The MIL saw the benefits of MC's interactions with the son and became more accepting of her presence. As well, MC was fine with essentially having custody on weekends, vacations, and special events, on the basis of "absence makes the heart fonder" and "familiarity breeds contempt". Also, she had enough trouble keeping up with the kid's energy for short terms, once he was able to let loose around her.

As MC repaired her relationship (public and private) with the ML, the in laws are of course happy about this, thus also improving the in law relationship.

No. The story is primarily about the MC bringing a dash of internet stardom into the turn around of her PR image, while repairing relationships with the ML, her son, and in-laws. The second half of the story is also interspersed with a couples variety show series that she got bamboozled into doing with ML, which I mostly glossed over, since I wasn't reading this for an entertainment novel.

 

I would still stand by my points. As i said before, original is NOT blameless. What I'm saying is ML can't go scot free either. He too is responsible for their failed relationship. He failed to do his duty as did she. When he dated her , he knew how she is and how she became after marriage, he should've the most knowledge of it. So I can't unseen how he lacked affort with the original that's it . I don't want argue anymore. Or else this thread would become a discussion thread. Finally, I really can't like the story or the ml for maybe I'm seeing things differently than you. Let's put an end to this. Good bye. Have a lovely day.

 

The ML is so suspicious to me. From the description itself I got a glimpse of his character. Not really a scum but not a good ML as well. I don't like this kind of ML. All the misunderstanding is borne from the way he treated MC like air in the original timeline. I mean how is it that she's not treated like air when all the gossip flying around about him having affair outside but doesn't bother to clear the misunderstanding? How is that not treated like air? What is she? A potato? SHE IS HIS LEGAL WIFE. No matter whatever way they got married. It's irritating.

 

Yup. ML feels kinda lukewarm to mc (orig.host) he doesnt hate her and doesnt love her either.
And i hate how much he keeps thinking when mc acts out of her character as ‘interesting’ ive got chills! Like dude, he is your WIFE for pete sake! and here you are thinking ‘oh thank goodness she is not boring as i thought’ i dont know his brains works at all. A wife is a person you love and not always there to make as your entertainment u *ss.

Me: ML i thought you’re much more boring than your wife. -.-

 

Thank you so much for the spoilers!!!
