   This book features a stepson who's a high school student. His first words to his stepson are "Hello, stepmother/sister," and the female lead immediately responds with "Hello, son/brother," which is hilarious. The male lead isn't stupid either. At the beginning, the female lead and her stepson are caught secretly having a late-night snack, and the stepson says he wants a divorce and to live with his stepmother—so filial! It's a story of a domineering stepmother and a non-domineering CEO.

Su Miao glanced at him, then looked away, exhaling a smoke ring. What kind of situation was this? Painless motherhood? She should have been happy to have a son for free, but this son was going to be a villain! A ruthless villain at that. That's right, she had transmigrated into a book. Transmigrated into the mother of a cruel villain. Transmigrating into a book was fine, it wasn't a big deal, that's just how things are these days. But couldn't she at least be able to transmigrate to a better time? In the novel, the first thing the cruel villain did after growing up was to find his biological mother who had abandoned him and imprison her. When she arrived, the original owner had just abandoned her child and was about to run away. Probably because he was so wicked, he suddenly died as he turned to run, and then his soul changed, becoming Su Miao from the apocalypse. "I'm asking you, do you want to abandon me?"

    The male lead's character also breaks away from the traditional domineering CEO archetype. He doesn't change his opinion of the female lead immediately; instead, he gradually sees her true colors through the changes in their child and her actions. From initially observing coldly to later unconsciously paying attention to her and even silently supporting her when she's misunderstood, this "slow-burning" emotional transformation is more convincing than love at first sight and makes the heartwarming family scene feel more real.
