[Chinese BG novel] 穿成男主早死的亲妈[玄学] by 夙夜笙歌 / Crossing into male protagonist's mother who died early*

(*title is mtl'd)
I wonder why I never came around writing a review on this one even if I completed reading it, now I regret not doing it, because my memory about it is not so fresh anymore. But at least I'll try to recollect it as much as I can.

Luo Wenshu crossed as a mother of a male protagonist. Now the protag is still a small carrot head, lovely and sensible child, but without his mother of course things will change. He would have crossed a thorny path. Because of their drastic situation she takes upon herself earning the money, but protag takes care of finances (first of all he knows a lot, but also it is connected to money and cause and effect stuff in taoism, so you understand). At first she was actually targetted by the heaven, thus the funny description of her escaping different small disasters from time to time, but later things changed, of course it has to do with protag.
If I'm not wrong her first was actually action against a water ghost and here things start to roll, because there's a story behind that ghost.
One of her first clients she helps ends up even becoming one of her disciples later. Because the aura in this world is thin she can't cultivate much, but she's still much stronger than the rest.
Protag also becomes close to metaphysics earlier due to Luo Wenshu. This is why the heaven was angry at first but later things changed, some of the meetings were fateful for the protag in the original story, it is part of his future, so she inadvertantly changed it, but later he joined the path to taoism and things changed. He still went through many adventures with his new mom.
On their adventure path they meet a big conspiracy connected to holes in space on Earth. Through them strange creatures crossed to Earth, they're on the level of powerful ghosts that are not easy to handle. There is also the case of disappearance among underworld workers, like the place where she lives with her son is so flooded with different ghosts because the Black guard (I forgot how they call it) disappeared and new one was only appointed. Luo Wenshu even tricked the guy to allow her son send ghosts on their path to the underworld and being a messanger. Anyway, the metaphysics part was entertaining.
The case is huge and the story involves different cases, but this is the main one, others are different small ones. But of course fear not, because Luo Wenshu is this amazing. No really, although she's omnipotent, but not in obnoxious way, it's quite okay. And also it's a sort of destiny, because in her own world she had a period where she traveled to the world for experience and build her own belief, so guess what she managed to find when she accidentally stumbled on almost broken temple? Yes, it was her own temple. She built her power on a belief of other people, one thing is to come to the temple, be sincere and put a stone on the wall, only those who are sincere can put it, otherwise it will roll down. So her temple is free to visit and had free incense and such. The family she helped (the guy who became her disciple later) is one of those that became rich, but they got involved in this and renovated the road to the temple and the area around, so they were the first to push it forward. I thought this twist was quite cool.
What really bought me I think is that Luo Xingyu, our carrot head, started using the network and started the blog, he always mentioned his mother, because he knew right away that his mother is not there anymore, he witnessed her not breathing and later Luo Wenshu came in. They came to terms at first, after all she is now here and they're legally bound to each other, thus their life together started. Luo Wenshu allowed them to meet for the last time and never forbid him from remembering his mother, she also couldn't compare to his mother in terms of a loving relationship. She tried the best she could to support and guide, she cared in her own way. The most gratifying thing was that he came out of this grief with time and also felt close to Luo Wenshu as a mom. But there are no sloppy scenes like in movies with tears and words like I love you, I love you too.

Now that I think about it, after thinking for a while I remembered a lot, the only thing that I completely forgot is Luo Wenshy went back to her own world when things were basically clear, if she used that crossing to her own advantage. But I still remember that one of those "gods" that descended through the hole she made into a pendant and it looked like an octopus with all the right texture :) I really remembered a lot.
RATE: 4/5. For entertainment.
