【Short Drama: "I Became a Stepmom in the 1980s"】 1980s, stepmother, raising kids, slice-of-life, marriage before love Upon waking up, Si Nian found herself transmigrated as the fake heiress in a period novel—kicked back to the countryside to marry a divorced man in place of the real heiress, with a bunch of kids to raise. To make matters worse, she encountered the novel’s heroine: the real heiress who had been reborn. In her past life, Lin Sisi was forced by her family to marry an older divorced man. Cold and unfeeling, he never cared for her. Meanwhile, Si Nian—the impostor who stole her privileged life—married a doting military officer and lived in bliss. Reborn and vengeful, Lin Sisi swore to steal Si Nian’s officer husband and make her suffer the same misery. But things didn’t go as planned for the real heiress. Instead, Si Nian stood by the older man as they amassed a fortune, living gloriously while their children grew into remarkable adults. When brought before the older man, Si Nian wasn’t fazed: This was the madman who’d rather raise another man’s children than have his own. While others avoided him, her eyes sparkled: "First, motherhood is sacred. Second, I’ll be the best stepmom." Years later, the real heiress struggled—dealing with her officer husband’s illegitimate children and fighting over assets—but consoled herself: "At least I’m better off than Si Nian, who has no kids of her own, plays nanny to another’s, and lives like a servant." Until one day, the feared tycoon—cold and ruthless to all—gently helped his pregnant wife from their car, cradling her with adoration. Si Nian tugged his hair angrily: "You swore we’d never have kids!" The man kissed her hand tenderly: "My love, I was wrong. Let’s have more."
