Shen Wan transmigrates into the role of the most beautiful and laziest wicked stepmother in an army compound in the 1980s.
In the original story, her four stepsons squander their family fortune and end up crippled, all to curry favor with the scheming heroine. In the end, they lie dead in the streets.
Shen Wan looks at the four rebellious kids she has just brought home, rolls her eyes, and flops onto the leather sofa. “Let the world burn. I’m tired. First, I’m putting on a cucumber face mask.”
What she doesn’t know is that the kids can hear her thoughts!
The eldest wants to give food to the scheming heroine?
Shen Wan: “Go ahead, go ahead. In a couple of days, she’ll sell you off to a coal mine, and you won’t even have a pair of underpants left. Tsk, what a tragedy.”
The eldest son’s hand trembles. He turns around and stuffs his entire savings book into Shen Wan’s hands. “Mom, use this money to buy yourself a gold ring!”
The second son is going to fight with a gang in the alley?
Shen Wan: “Go ahead, go ahead. One whack with that brick and you’ll end up in prison. By the time you’re picking up soap in there, your beloved Sister Qingqing will already be cuddled up with the male lead, smiling away.”
The second son breaks into a cold sweat, immediately drops the brick, and grabs a textbook instead. “Mom, I want to get into Tsinghua!”
The third and fourth sons are soon scared out of their wits by Shen Wan’s uncannily accurate and vicious “predictions” too.
Shen Wan is baffled. Why have these little rascals stopped causing trouble? And why are they fighting to wash my feet and bring me cigarettes?
Even the powerful figures of the capital start showing up at her door. Shen Wan only meant to flirt, not marry, but her four sons turn into protective dragons. “Stay away from our mom! She’s the apple of our whole family’s eye!”
