Gu Qiqi, a low-profile online novelist, was writing a story packed with every old-school trope: a domineering CEO, a love triangle, and a wife-chasing funeral pyre. Her handful of readers cursed her until she shut down.
After taking a beating both mentally and physically, she wanted to quit the internet and join the workforce, content to be an obedient little wage slave.
Then her best friend and longtime confidante offered to help her out, asking her to write a custom power-fantasy story with a strong female lead. In return, she generously promised to support Gu Qiqi for a year.
Looking at the pitiful handful of comments, all full of vicious insults, and her meager salary, barely enough to buy one steamed bun a day, Gu Qiqi decided she would unleash hell, quickly write the male and female supporting characters out of the story, then devote herself entirely to writing the book for her benefactor.
But the moment she uploaded the scene where she wrote the female villainess out of the story, a mysterious force pulled her into an unknown space.
There, she saw the venomous supporting character she had written, her bright, lovely face full of resentment. “Mom, we’re both your children. Why are you so cruel to me?”
Startled, Gu Qiqi said, “Don’t call me Mom! I’ve been single my entire life for over twenty years. I’m still a girl who’s never even held a man’s hand!”
From then on, her cheap daughter’s moral blackmail, aided and abetted by a System, successfully sent her into the very world she had created herself.
The whole thing was utterly absurd, but still... Getting to see the male lead she had created with her own eyes someday? That was hard to turn down!
Here I come, my precious boy!!
In this fictional world, the gentle, smiling villainous male lead asked, “Mom, am I not your favorite son?”
