After Transmigrating Into a Book, the Love-Brained Matriarch Gives Up

Mu Jingjing, an overworked modern-day office drone, dies in a car accident. Perhaps she had done so many good deeds that she didn’t quite kick the bucket for good. Instead, she’s lucky enough to transmigrate into a novel she once read, The Beautiful Imperial Prince’s Consort, as the heroine’s stepmother.

The original owner had a love-addled brain even worse than Wang Baochuan, the woman who dug wild vegetables for love. The only daughter of a great general, she married a widower and devoted herself to raising his three children from his first marriage, while neglecting her own flesh and blood.

Later, her eldest stepson earns a noble title through military service, her second stepson rises swiftly through the ranks to become chancellor, and her stepdaughter is made the Sixth Prince’s consort.

She thought a glorious life awaited her. Instead, those three heartless people used her as a stepping stone and then killed her. Her own two unassuming children were poisoned as well and dumped in a mass grave.

Reading this, Mu Jingjing couldn’t help complaining that love-addled brains ruin lives. She never imagined that a car accident would turn her into the very protagonist she’d criticized.

Since she’s here, she might as well make the best of it. Let’s see how she brings those ungrateful wretches crashing down from their pedestals, takes good care of the original owner’s two children, and earns herself a prestigious title along the way.
