Description
Shen Yan Mo was reborn. Reborn to the time when she was thrown to the village. Before she was reborn, she was the first daughter whose parents died and was not favored. She married the Marquis of Wuchang as a stepmother, and the old lady of the Marquis was afraid that she would give birth to the first son and neglect the first son of the original Marquis Wuchang’s wife, so she was wary of Shen Yan Mo. The marquis was afraid that Shen Yan Mo was a black-hearted stepmother who was cold-hearted and indifferent. The marquis did not consummate the marriage with Shen Yan Mo and went to war, leaving Shen Yan Mo alone in the Marquis Manor to be looked upon with disdain. A year later the marquis returned triumphantly. He drunkenly pulled Shen Yan Mo to consummate the marriage, and the father of several children was like a young brat. Afterward, he disliked her and threw her to the village to fend for herself and she died during childbirth. After being reborn, Shen Yan Mo got a divorce letter and set up her own business, keeping away from the rights and wrongs of the marquis. She did not want to be a stepmother anymore, so she focused on raising her own children, which was much better than fighting in the inner courtyards. After many years, Shen Yan Mo found out that it was someone else with whom she consummated the marriage, and that person wanted to marry her. Sorry, she does not want to marry. Her ex-husband regrets the divorce and wants to get back together. Go away.

My Thoughts on Step-Mother has Given Up
"Step-Mother has Given Up" promised a reincarnation story with a twist, and while I found some aspects intriguing, the overall execution left me feeling a bit conflicted. It's a novel that presents a unique premise, but whether it fully delivers on its potential is debatable.
First Impressions
The initial chapters hooked me with the concept of a reincarnated woman seeking a divorce from her seemingly worthless husband. It felt like a refreshing take on the genre, steering away from the typical "golden finger" trope often associated with reincarnation stories. I was eager to see how the female lead would navigate her second chance at life.
What Works Well
I appreciated the fact that the female lead's reincarnation didn't grant her omniscient knowledge or an immediate path to success. Instead, she relies on her wit and the help of those she encounters, gradually climbing the social ladder. The slow-burn romance with the male lead was also a plus for me. It felt more organic and less forced than some of the insta-love scenarios you often find in web novels. The story has a unique way of developing the relationship between the leads and it was enjoyable to see how that slowly developed.
Areas of Concern
However, as I delved deeper into the story, some cracks began to appear. The plot, at times, felt a bit silly, and the characterizations weren't always consistent. The male lead, initially portrayed as an intelligent schemer, occasionally made decisions that seemed rather childish. The female lead, while sometimes clever, also had moments where her actions felt illogical, making it hard to fully connect with her. The push and pull between the leads sometimes felt weirdly executed.

Final Verdict
"Step-Mother has Given Up" has moments of brilliance, particularly in its initial premise and slow-burn romance. However, inconsistent characterizations, and a somewhat silly plot ultimately hinder its potential. If you're looking for a light read with a unique premise and are willing to overlook some flaws, it might be worth a try. However, be prepared for a potentially frustrating experience with inconsistent character development and plot contrivances.
