After Binding Myself to a Fierce Old Lady from the ’70S, I Completely Changed Her Image

As soon as Li Chunzhi transmigrates into a book, she becomes the male lead’s awful, vicious villain of a mother. As the original author, no one knows Li Chunzhi’s character better than she does: selfish, cruel-hearted, more wicked than a stepmother, brainless, hot-tempered, and greedy. Li Chunzhi is nearly forty. Her husband has disappeared, she has been a widow for fourteen years, and she has three children, but she gives birth without raising them, always caring only about her own pleasure. She arrives at the story’s beginning: The eldest, the male lead, is nineteen. Forced to retire after an injury, he is paralyzed in both legs. The original Li Chunzhi resents him for being gone for years and leaves him to fend for himself. From then on, their mother-son bond is severed. The second son is the biggest villain. At seventeen, he has spent his whole life learning to curry favor with his mother, and never does anything without a payoff. Later, he and Li Chunzhi become partners in crime, joining forces to harm the male lead. In the end, the male lead’s schemes turn them against each other, and Li Chunzhi stabs her own son before being sent to prison. The youngest is a disposable character, born to Li Chunzhi and her lover. He is neglected from childhood, and at fourteen, he sells himself to a gang to save the eldest, only to end up dead in the street. The original plot is plain as day: a vile mother with an absolutely awful personality whom everyone hates. Now that she has transmigrated into the book, she might as well try a different way of raising children. There’s no need to stick to the character settings. It’s a book, not history, so she can make things up as she goes. P.S. Li Chunzhi has a love interest, but he’s not important and appears later. Feel free to look forward to him.
