When genius physician Gu Baizhi opens her eyes, she discovers that she has borrowed a dead woman's body and become a horrid stepmother who abused children.
The original stepmother was foolish, wicked, and ugly. Her mother-in-law despises her, her relatives scheme against her, and even her scholar husband is the most notorious jinx in the surrounding villages!
Worse still, her jinx of a husband will become the founding tyrant who overthrows the dynasty. She herself is the wicked second wife said to have been brutally killed by the tyrant.
To stay alive, Gu Baizhi abandons her old wicked-stepmother ways and devotes herself to caring for the children with painstaking attention.
She plans to raise the two little ones until they're plump and healthy, then get a divorce and run away with her belongings.
But even after that scoundrel rises to immense power, no divorce papers arrive!
Realizing things are going badly, Gu Baizhi leaves him divorce papers and tries to flee.
Before she can divorce him, the tyrant kisses her fiercely. “You haven't borne me a child yet. You can't leave...”
(One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other, marriage before love, comeback, wicked stepmother)
