Description
It has been six years since the country stopped admitting college students, and no one knows when the college entrance examination will resume. Su Xiaoxiao, who was an outstanding student, was now humiliated after not being able to attend university. She was too high for the people in the village and too poor for the people in the city. Due to this, she became a “leftover girl.” An educated youth said he was willing to try. When Father Su then asked the educated youth when he planned to marry his daughter, the educated youth said it was Su Xiaoxiao who took the initiative to pester him before agreeing to give it a try, and he wanted to go back to the city in the future and did not plan to marry a country girl. Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t take this humiliation anymore and decided to jump into the river to commit su*cide. This made her reputation become even worse. The matchmakers had to go around when they passed by the Su family’s house. Mother Su and Father Su were so angry that they almost rode a crane to death. They decided to marry their daughter in the city regardless of the dowry. Han Cheng, who had lost his wife for a year, went back to the city to visit his sons on his vacation. His two sons, who were once white and chubby cubs, became skinny and gloomy after living with his teacher’s wife. He was so angry and immediately asked the matchmaker to go to the countryside and find him a match. The only requirement he asked for was, that she must be literate. The matchmaker went to the Su family’s house, and there, Su Xiaoxiao, who came from the 21st century, didn’t raise any objections and accepted it. However, the unreliable matchmaker actually invited another girl besides Su Xiaoxiao and arranged their dates at the same time. Han Cheng asked Su Xiaoxiao, who looked like a good match for him: “Are you literate? Do you mind taking care of my two sons?”

The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs
I dove into "The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs" expecting a heartwarming slice-of-life story, and for the most part, that's exactly what I got. It's a transmigration tale set in the 1970s, where a modern woman finds herself as a stepmother to two young children. The premise immediately grabbed me, and I was eager to see how she navigated this new life.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are genuinely enjoyable. I appreciated the MC's positive outlook and her smart approach to raising the "cubs." The translation, at least in the early stages, is well-done, making the story easy to get lost in. I quickly became invested in the MC's journey as she adapted to the era and built a family with the ML.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the relaxing pace of the story and the heartwarming family dynamics. I agree; it's a feel-good novel with relatively little angst. The focus on childcare and the MC's modern parenting techniques is refreshing. I also liked how the MC didn't abandon the original owner's dreams, striving to complete her education alongside raising the children. The author does a great job portraying the warmth that the MC brings into the family. The children were also cute and fun to read about.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some aspects less appealing as the story progressed. Several readers pointed out the lack of a strong plot, with events often resolving too quickly and villains receiving minimal consequences. I also noticed a tendency for the characters to be overly perfect, particularly the children, which made the story feel somewhat repetitive. The constant praise of the MC and focus on cooking could also become tedious at times. There were also some translation issues that others pointed out.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs" is a pleasant, if somewhat predictable, read. If you're looking for a lighthearted slice-of-life story with a focus on family and childcare, this might be right up your alley. However, if you prefer more complex plots and character development, you might find it a bit too bland. I'd recommend going in with an open mind and appreciating it for what it is: a sweet and heartwarming tale of family and love.
