Xu He transmigrated into a novel for female readers and became the abusive mother of four children. In the original story, her grown children would lock her in a secret chamber and torture her to death.
The day she arrived, her eldest son had just knocked her over the head with a stick. Her second son was hiding behind the door, clutching a rock. Her third son knelt on the ground, begging her not to sell his little sister. Her four-year-old daughter huddled in a corner, the bruises on her face still fresh.
Next door lay her cheap husband, paralyzed by poison.
Their home was bare, the rice in the jar had gone moldy, and the only thing on the System panel was a single line:
[Deviation from the original plot: Shen Chengyong 0%, Shen Chengwen 0%, Shen Cheng'an 0%, Shen Zhinuo 0%]
Four progress bars, each needing to reach 100%. Miss one, and she loses everything.
Xu He looked at the pot of moldy rice, then at the four trembling children.
First, she'd make a pot of porridge.
