[Modern elite families + marriage first, love later + stepmother raising kids + comparison drama + hilarious antics]
Su Mo, a scandal-plagued actress who loved stirring up trouble, transmigrates into a variety show about raising children as the villainous stepmother.
In the original story, she is the foil to the heroine. The heroine is gentle and virtuous, treating her stepson as her own; Su Mo abuses her stepson, gets flamed across the internet, and eventually ends up homeless.
At this point, her three rebellious stepchildren surround her. “Su Mo, don’t think you can be our mom!”
Red warning text flashes before her eyes:
“Warning! The Host must win over the stepchildren, or she will trigger the ending where she leaves with nothing!”
Su Mo:
Win them over? I choose cremation!
Su Mo has awakened completely. If she’s going to be a wicked stepmother no matter what, she might as well enjoy herself first.
Because the male lead favors the heroine, his white-moonlight, Su Mo is tricked into staying in the worst, most ramshackle hut. As a result, her eldest stepson develops stomach problems from hunger, her second stepson breaks his leg, and her youngest stepdaughter becomes depressed and withdrawn…
Meanwhile, the heroine leeches off her and becomes the nation’s favorite mom online!
That bastard wants me to be a free nanny? Ha.
Su Mo tears up the variety show’s script and lies flat, sleeping until late morning.
If the System says she’s a wicked stepmother, why not be “wicked” to the bitter end?
Her eldest stepson stages a hunger strike? Su Mo eats premium Wagyu right in front of him, tempting him so badly he licks the plate in the middle of the night.
Her little stepdaughter throws a tantrum on the floor? Su Mo cries even louder, scaring the girl into comforting her instead.
Lu Qichen plans to divorce his contract wife as soon as the show is over.
But while the heroine works herself to the bone and raises three ungrateful children, Lu Qichen’s three little tyrants cling to Su Mo’s legs, crying and begging her not to leave.
Later, Lu Qichen says:
“Use my card as much as you like. I’ll take care of the kids. Wife, won’t you look at me?”
