Sheng Zhilan transmigrates into a book, becoming a disposable character: the male lead Pei Yuan’s stepmother.
In the original story, Sheng Zhilan is a wicked supporting character. She schemes her way into the bed of Pei Yuxiao, the CEO of the Pei Group, then tricks the newly widowed man into marrying her.
So that her future child can inherit the Pei Group, she abuses Pei Yuan in every way imaginable while pretending to adore him in front of Pei Yuxiao.
Sheng Zhilan is such a menace that when the male lead grows up, she meets a truly gruesome end.
Now that Sheng Zhilan knows the entire plot, she munches on sunflower seeds and watches the trembling young male lead, then beams at him. “Yuanyuan, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
When Pei Yuxiao comes home, he sees Pei Yuan trembling as he eats dinner. He steps forward, ready to scold Sheng Zhilan, but Pei Yuan starts crying as he drinks the last mouthful of soup in his bowl. Then he holds up the bowl and gazes at Sheng Zhilan with tear-filled eyes.
“...”
Sheng Zhilan has no grand ambitions and no desire to follow the original plot. All she wants is to cling tightly to a powerful patron.
