Star-names and Their Meanings

The Reformed Villainess of the Village

The newlywed bride, Si Yue, looked at the dilapidated houses and broken walls, the ragged clothes that looked like the patches of the Nine Bag Elders of the Beggars' Sect, and the thin porridge that could be used as a mirror. How could one word “poor” describe it? Marriage by deception? Stealing the dowry? The Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Become a slave? The wicked woman sneered. “Dare to scheme against and bully this old woman? If I don't stir up chaos in your household, I'll change my surname!” First Round: She coldly watched her emaciated mother-in-law wielding a broom with malicious intent toward Yang Tianhe. Her two slender eyebrows arched, playing out a scene of maternal love turned to hatred? At night, Si Yue sat on the bed under the dim moonlight, one hand holding a bottle of medicinal wine, the other applying it to the man lying on the bed. “What are you laughing at? Let me tell you, I’m not doing this out of concern for you. If something happens to you, you’ll be at peace, but I’ll not only bear the blame for being a widow, but also have to take care of your good-for-nothing son. Forget it!” Her harsh tone, cruel words, and increasing pressure on her hands made the man, who had been smiling foolishly moments ago, wince in pain. Si Yue was satisfied with the effect. Round Two: “Mother,” Yang Xingbao opened his wet, wide eyes and called out in a soft, pleading voice. “It's stepmother, good-for-nothing. Say it again—I'm your stepmother!” Si Yue emphasized once more. If the father was a fool, at least the son could be a bit smarter. “But everyone says stepmothers are mean. You wash my face, wash my hair, give me a bath, buy me new clothes, and cook delicious meals. You're so kind to me—you must be my real mother! “The child didn't notice Si Yue's face, which was as black as a crow's, and happily came to his conclusion. The wicked woman's face was black, and she glared at him with her big eyes!
