After transmigrating into the body of a little rich woman with a house, a car, and money in the bank, Lin Wei thinks all she needs to do in this life is lie flat and look pretty.
The System suddenly comes online: Go to the orphanage and adopt the male lead. Give him a warm home.
She goes, the System crashes, and she adopts the wrong child.
The three-year-old little boy in the corner looks up at her, his eyelashes fluttering. After struggling for a while, he manages in his babyish voice, “A-Auntie… pr-pretty…”
The rest of the words come out in a jumbled mumble, but his eyes shine like stars scattered across the ground.
Everyone is gathered around the five-year-old “little sunshine.” Lin Wei crouches down and takes the hand of this “little shadow” who can barely speak.
The System finally comes back online: Wrong child! He’s the villain! Return him immediately!
Lin Wei: Like hell I will.
Later…
At the night market, the three-year-old stands on a little stool, calling out with all his might: “C-Come… come eat! G-Good food!”
The whole internet is smitten: Whose kid is this? Do you know being this cute should be illegal?
Later still…
A wealthy family comes to take him away. The little boy hides behind Lin Wei, clutching her clothes tightly. His words are still jumbled, but he forces them out one by one: “I-I have a mommy now. Y-You… go away.”
Lin Wei blocks the door. “You didn’t come when he was abandoned at three. Now that he can barely talk, you want him back? Dream on.”
System: If you raise the villain, you’ll have 108 kinds of trouble in the future.
Lin Wei: Oh, perfect. I worked myself to death with overtime in my previous life. In this one, I like trouble.
System: …
The three-year-old tilts his head up and rubs his soft cheek against her palm. “M-Mommy… I-I’ll be good.”
Lin Wei crouches down and kisses his forehead. “Mm, you’re the best boy.”
