In her previous life, Lin Wan transmigrated into a book and became the “little stepmother” of Shen Yan, an eight-year-old villain.
She shielded him from attacks both overt and covert, stayed by his side through hardship and sorrow, and ultimately traded her life for his chance to survive.
As she drew her last breath, she heard the anguished roar of the boy she had raised, gone completely mad.

When she opened her eyes again, the System came to her: her death had caused the villain to turn evil ahead of schedule, bringing the world to the brink of collapse.
