[Fictional modern setting + resurrection + villainous whole family + ensemble cast elements + face-slapping + mutually devoted couple]
When Shen Wu opens her eyes again, she discovers that she has transmigrated twelve years into the future after dying.
She learns that her world is made up of several novels merged together.
And her entire family are villains.
Her eldest son is a cold, ruthless, celibate CEO who competes with the male lead for the heroine, then gets the classic “the weather’s cold, let the Wang family go bankrupt” treatment.
Her second son is a school bully who competes with the top student male lead for the heroine and gets stabbed to death.
Her youngest son grew up on his own, dropped out of school early, and hauled bricks to put his childhood sweetheart through school. Unfortunately, the childhood friend can never beat the new arrival.
Her second younger brother still carries a torch for his first love and plays out the stand-in trope. In the end, he begs her to come back and hands over his vast fortune to someone else.
Her third younger brother is a controversial top-tier star who picks fights with everyone. He’s the foil to the actor male lead, and eventually the male lead’s mindless fans splash acid on him, leaving him disfigured. He dies by suicide after falling into depression.
Her darling husband, Xie Ci, loses the love of his life and becomes an extremely twisted madman who wants to destroy the world and terrifies everyone.
Shen Wu: “No problem. I just have to be a villain.”
If she’s going to be a villain, she has to act like one.
Much later, the various protagonists tremble under the villainous family’s oppressive power.
Only Xie Ci cries pitifully every day. “Honey, are you going to leave me again?”
Just my thoughts, thank you all for your support
