Open Up! We're the Parents of the Tragic Novel's Heroine!

[Spoiled, scheming, violent queen x sharp-tongued, brilliant CEO]

Shen Mi, the mother who dies early in the heroine's place in a melodramatic novel, comes back to life.

By the end of the story, her daughter becomes the heroine with a cold face who washes underwear, while her son turns into a disabled little hoodlum.

How could my kind, clever, adorable, beautiful, brave children end up like that? Shen Mi refuses to stand for it.

Bullied by NPCs? Mom will beat them up for you! Framed by the second female lead? Mom will talk back for you! The ending's already been decided? Mom will change it for you!

Just as she's about to make her mark, she discovers that her deadbeat husband has come back to life, too.

They were a couple bound by pure hatred in their last life, and now that they've met again, they can't stand the sight of each other.

Shen Mi: "Why did you get reborn too? Is there any point in someone like you being alive?"

Lu Jingyan: "? If a single-celled paramecium like you can do it, why can't I?"

Shen Mi (grabbing him by the throat): "I can kill you all over again right now!"

The two start competing to protect their children, but Lu Jingyan is always one step ahead and keeps throwing sarcastic jabs at her.

Shen Mi can't take it anymore and decides to draw a clear line between them.

Lu Jingyan enthusiastically agrees, hands and feet included.

But after Shen Mi is ready to resolve everything and start a new life with a romantic relationship, she discovers that Lu Jingyan has beaten up every guy who's tried to ask her out.

Shen Mi (looking at the boy lying on the ground, barely alive): ?

Lu Jingyan (quietly looking away)

Shen Mi: "Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me? Is that how ordinary friends act? Just admit you're jealous. Are you going to die if you do?"

Lu Jingyan (giving up and blurting it out): "You tore up several love letters people gave me, too!"

Shen Mi: Looks like I should just kill you after all... :)

One day, Lin Wei and Lin Huai, who grew up as orphans relying on each other, suddenly find two strange new friends at their side.

One is more streetwise, the other more business-minded.

They also really love fighting and arguing.

Lin Wei treasures this hard-won friendship.

Shen Mi beats someone up.

Lin Wei: "Amazing. Even your fighting stance is so cool."

Shen Mi puts a trash can over someone's head.

Lin Wei: "Incredible. You didn't even knock out a single piece of paper."

Shen Mi gets the first math problem right.

Lin Wei: "Shen Mi, you're a genius!"

Lin Huai: "...Sis, you don't have to force yourself to praise her for that. Did you cheat to get a 149 in math?"
