When Xie Wanli opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into a book as the wicked stepmother of a minor villain.

The four adorable children in the book first lost their mother, then their father, and ultimately ended up registered under the name of their mysterious third uncle, who had been single for twenty-two years.

On the very first night after the original woman married their third uncle, she sold the three-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, to a brothel... where they eventually became playthings for powerful nobles.

Then she deliberately spoiled the other two stepsons, raising them to be good-for-nothings until they became villains hated by all, and were eventually thrown into the death row prison.

Xie Wanli transmigrated just before the children were sold. There was still time to set things right.

...Why was Dabao looking at her like that?

Why were those dark eyes brimming with hatred and murderous intent?

Her heart jolted.

...This future villain had been reborn.

Dabao: Did I just hear someone say I was reborn?!

Dabao: Did I just hear this wicked woman say she'd send the scoundrels who sold my younger siblings to prison?!

Dabao: Did I just hear this wicked woman tell us to study and write?!

Dabao: Did I just hear this wicked woman...

Dabao: ...The woman in front of me doesn't seem to be the wicked woman from my previous life!

Just as Xie Wanli prepared to roll up her sleeves and personally raise the four adorable children to make something of themselves,

something about the plot felt off... That damn System had actually tricked her!

Not long from now*

In the original story as Xie Wanli understood it, the third uncle, a mysterious man who barely appeared early on, said: "A-Li... Wanwan... Let's have a little Wanwan together..."

Xie Wanli: ...

I only want to raise kids and build a career. Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed... Back off, back off, back off.
