MTL: Transmigrated as the Male Lead's Young Stepmother [60s]

Chapter 1-10

Knock knock knock... The sound of knocking echoed, followed by a middle-aged woman's voice, "Comrade Lu, hurry and get up. Huaihuai is crying and looking for you. Come and comfort him."

Lu Nong struggled to open her eyes, feeling dazed for a moment as the sound of the nanny's urging and the child's loud crying spiraled into her ears.

Her head buzzed.

Lu Nong glanced around the room, taking in the polished wooden floor, vintage furniture, and European-style wooden dressing table... It was a tastefully vintage decor that wouldn't feel out of place even in modern times, exuding an elegant retro charm.

But no matter how refined it was, it couldn't change the fact that it was the 1960s.

That's right; Lu Nong had transmigrated into a book, becoming the same-named, same-age Lu Nong from the story, with only three days to live.

Three days ago, she was a wealthy, beautiful young lady with many suitors, but after waking up, she had transformed into a married woman with a child.

Not only married, but also in her second marriage.

Her second husband was the male lead of a period novel... his father.

In other words, Lu Nong had become the male lead's stepmother.

At just twenty-two, she had already experienced a first marriage, childbirth, the death of her husband, and remarriage with a stepson.

What was worse was that in the book, the stepmother was frail and sickly, melancholic after her second marriage, and died within a few years.

Ineffective transmigration—this was her reality.

For the past three days, Lu Nong had been dazed, waking up each morning hoping to find herself back in her grand villa.

Unfortunately, reality was cruel; it seemed she truly couldn't go back.

Lu "Sorrowful" Nong sighed. Since returning was not an option, she would have to live well.

The most important thing now was to change her original fate of an early death, striving to live to ninety-nine, to 2040, and become the trendiest old lady across worlds!

Having settled on her great ambition, Lu Nong felt she could sleep for another ten minutes... Please, young ladies never wake up early!

Taking a deep breath, she got out of bed, opened the door, and took the child from the nanny's hands. She turned around, patted the child's back, and gently began to sing an English lullaby she used to listen to as a child.

Halfway through the song, the crying stopped, and Lu Nong happened to reach the bedside, spending a minute and a half in total.

After placing the child on the bed, she smiled gently and said to little Gu Huai, "Baby, let's sleep a bit longer, okay?"

Without waiting for little Gu Huai to respond, she lay down herself, wrapped her arms around the soft little treasure, and peacefully closed her eyes, falling asleep in an instant.

Outside the door, the nanny stood speechless: "..."

"Comrade Lu, breakfast is ready. Hurry up and eat. You might not be hungry, but the child is. We are a military family; there's no habit of sleeping in. As a daughter-in-law, you should follow the rules too, or people will laugh at you. It's best you help me cook and tidy up tomorrow..."

The nanny loudly reminded Lu Nong, directly instructing her to work, as if she were the mistress and Lu Nong the maid.

Clearly, she did not regard Lu Nong with any respect.
