[Famine + Strong Female Lead + Historical Romance + Family Life + Villains + Farming + Building Wealth + Space + Redemption + Wicked Stepmother] After Ning Xue’er transmigrates into a book, she discovers she’s a wicked stepmother destined to die horribly at the hands of her stepchildren.

To survive, of course Ning Xue’er has to change their opinion of her.

“Did you hear? The Wei family’s children were nearly beaten to death by their stepmother last night. What a tragedy.”

Ning Xue’er: “They’re not my biological children. If I beat them to death, so be it.”

“Look at the Wei family children, all pale and skinny. Their stepmother must be making their lives miserable.”

Ning Xue’er: “I’m their stepmother. If I don’t make their lives miserable, who will?”

“I heard that stepmother from the Wei family called a broker to sell those children. Stepmothers really are heartless.”

Ning Xue’er: “If I don’t sell them, are you going to feed them?”

Then one day, as Ning Xue’er packs her bags to leave, her eldest stepson, who once hated her, grabs her hand with red-rimmed eyes. “Mother, don’t go. From now on, I’ll do whatever you say.”

Her second stepson tugs at her sleeve and pleads, “Mother, I’ll listen to you. I’ll marry a wife who can come and take care of you.”

Her third stepson clings to her leg. “Mother, I’ll give you every penny I earn. Please don’t go.”

Her fourth child, a daughter, looks up at her sweetly. “Mother, you can leave, but take me with you.”

“Mother, we’ll go with you.”

The tall, elegant man standing not far away drawls, “In that case, why not take me along too?”
