I transmigrated into the wicked stepmother of a reality show about celebrity parents and children, and from the start I was expected to kneel and apologize to the white-lotus heroine’s son, my five-year-old stepson?
The entire internet’s comment feed was telling me to get out of showbiz, while the production team pushed me to humiliate myself in front of everyone for the ratings.
Just as I was about to despair, the [Anti-Burnout Going-Crazy System] awakened!
[Ding! Host detected in a mentally draining situation. Go crazy immediately!]

Su Wanying: “...Do I even need to choose?”
And so, viewers across the internet witnessed the most explosive moment in variety show history.
While other celebrities taught their kids new skills, Su Wanying watched the gossip unfold with her stepson, commenting more expertly than the guest mentors.
While other mothers and children were all sweetness and light, Su Wanying laid down three rules with her stepson: “Stay out of my business, or I’ll take you down.”
The green-tea heroine came to provoke her? She tore into her on the spot: “If you’re his real mom, why are you always dropping by someone else’s house? Hoping the kid will end up with two moms?”
A brat tried to snatch a toy? She confiscated it outright: “He’s just a child, so we absolutely can’t let him off the hook.”
Viewers went from calling her “universally hated,” to “the kind of woman moms would smack,” to “That sister is so badass!” They watched Su Wanying go from being hated by everyone to becoming a wildly popular star. Then her husband, the powerful tycoon rumored to have a hand in everything, suddenly appeared and cornered her against a wall. “Su Wanying, I hear you’ve been finding your son another dad again?”
The plot is quite good, it's quite enjoyable, but am I stuck? Why is it that content I read in the previous chapter is presented differently in the next chapter, and then rewritten?
