The Villainess Stepmother’s Comeback: From a Mistaken Marriage to a Blessed Life

When Wang Tong was half-sold, half-married to the hunter Yang Hao, all she knew was that he came with seven "baggage" children. She had no idea the family used dark magic to steal their neighbors' good fortune. The original owner of her body had been drained of her life force and died. On their wedding night, the System forcibly bound her to a "Protect Good Fortune" mission, ordering her to win over the seven children and Yang Hao or die. Wang Tong slapped an exorcism talisman against it and snapped the System in half, then sneered, "We'll see who wins over whom."

She tore off her new family's hypocritical masks, boldly wrote a divorce agreement, and headed to the county town with talismans from her cultivation sect. She made her first fortune telling fortunes at the City God Temple, opened "Tongtong General Store," and made a name for herself with improved rouge. Her occult skills also exposed the Deng family's plot to steal a treasure and unmasked their dark magic for stealing good fortune. Meanwhile, the taciturn Yang Hao was always there in the shadows, taking blows meant for her. He had once served as a guard to the former crown prince, and his mission was to protect the seven children, including the crown prince's orphaned heir, as well as Wang Tong, the niece of the late empress. The dragon-patterned jade pendant concealed a shocking secret about his identity.

From taking on unreasonable relatives and breaking evil formations to recovering The Secret Manual of Mysterious Truth, Wang Tong used her arts to protect the imperial bloodline, while Yang Hao guarded the peace with his martial skills. The seven unruly children grew into capable helpers, and villains such as the Deng family and the Dragon-Slaying Cult were defeated one after another. As "Tonghao Residence" spread throughout southern Yunnan and the Occult Arts Hall kept the region safe, the couple, once mismatched by fate, finally broke free of curses and prejudice. Together, they turned this borderland into a blessed haven and truly came to embody the idea of bringing blessings to all under heaven.
