Description
Ruan Cha grew up in a small town where her family of three lived off rental income and farming, leading an easygoing, simple life. Everything changed when her biological mother was recognized as the real daughter of a wealthy family, and Ruan Cha became the true heiress. Suddenly, Ruan Cha realized that her life was actually part of a system-driven academic drama novel, where she, the girl praised for her beauty since childhood, was destined to be the clumsy, unattractive, and short-lived supporting character! After her death, her parents’ lives would spiral into tragedy-one losing their mind, the other meeting a miserable end. The whole family was nothing but cannon fodder! As she pieced the plot together, Ruan Cha looked up at her reflection: stunning and adorable. Then she turned toward her parents, lying on the bed giggling after their meal, embodying peak “slacker” vibes. Her feelings? Complicated. … When Ruan Cha’s parents accidentally discovered that their carefree and cheerful daughter had been bullied in her new elite high school, they were devastated. Their thoughtful daughter didn’t complain or cry-she just studied harder, her face growing thinner by the day. It broke their hearts. Father Ruan: “At the last parent-teacher meeting, the other parents asked what companies we run. I said we’re landlords.” Mother Ruan: “And at the last art festival, when they talked about their love for wine and jewelry, I said I love farming.” Father and Mother Ruan: “…” The couple exchanged glances and sighed in unison. Father Ruan: “So, even if you own a hundred buildings, being a landlord still earns no respect, huh?” Mother Ruan: “And even if you grow cabbages worth 1,000 yuan each, farming still isn’t a proper hobby, huh?” After a long silence, they looked skyward and lamented together: “Life in the big city is just too hard!”

My Thoughts on After My Mother Returned to the Rich Family
After My Mother Returned to the Rich Family is a whirlwind of comedy, drama, fantasy, and school life, all blended together with a dash of the supernatural. It's a light read that centers around a "salted fish" (lazy) female protagonist, Ruan Cha, who unexpectedly finds herself navigating the complexities of a rich family and unlocking hidden abilities. I found myself chuckling at her antics and appreciating the slow-burn romance that developed throughout the story.
First Impressions
The premise immediately grabbed my attention. A lazy protagonist forced to become an academic powerhouse? Count me in! The initial chapters drew me into Ruan Cha's world, and I was eager to see how she'd cope with her newfound circumstances and the system that nudged her along the way. The school setting felt familiar and relatable, even with the added fantastical elements.
What Works Well
Ruan Cha is definitely the star of the show. Her personality is a major draw, and I enjoyed how she treats people according to how they treat her. The way she gradually embraces her abilities and navigates the challenges thrown her way is compelling. The slow-burn romance with Fu Chen is also a highlight. It's sweet and wholesome, with Fu Chen being the ultimate loyal dog, patiently pursuing Ruan Cha. I appreciated that the adults handled the darker, more political aspects of the story, allowing the teenage characters to focus on their own growth and relationships.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, the later plot developments involving time travel, reincarnations, and advanced technology felt a bit overwhelming. It introduced a level of complexity that, at times, detracted from the initial charm of the "salted fish" school life. The antagonist's motivations and the plot surrounding his constant rebirths also felt somewhat convoluted and not entirely satisfying, especially in the ending.

Final Verdict
Despite some of the more convoluted plot elements, After My Mother Returned to the Rich Family is an enjoyable and lighthearted read. If you're looking for a story with a relatable female protagonist, a sweet romance, and a touch of the supernatural, this novel is worth checking out. Just be prepared for some potentially confusing time-travel shenanigans and a slightly messy ending. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
