After cursing at someone who ran a red light, Shen Furong was struck by a bolt of heavenly lightning right there on the spot. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the world of a novel.
She had become a cannon-fodder supporting female character who was supposed to die after the male lead successfully reunited with his family. To survive, Shen Furong took Xie Lin's hand when he came to the capital to search for his family.
"Mom."
"Yes."
Xie Lin was good in every way, except that he was stubbornly fixated on comparing himself to his father.
"Mom, I'm going to the palace after placing first in the imperial exams. Will I be better than Dad?"
After his eight hundredth question, Shen Furong raised her thumb as usual.
Wait!
Didn't she tear up all his books?
How could he still pass the exams with top honors?
She packed her bedding in the middle of the night, ready to run, only to find Xie Lin standing on the wall. His dark eyes watched her for a long time.
"Mom, you really fooled me so thoroughly..."
.
After searching for thirteen years, Xie Lin finally found his mother, but she was quite different from other mothers.
Other mothers hoped their sons would take the imperial examinations and come out on top. His own mother tore up his textbooks and confiscated his brushes and ink.
"Son, I don't expect you to achieve anything. Being a good-for-nothing is fine."
But he thought his mother was afraid that if he earned an official title, he would abandon her just like his father had.
He secretly vowed to do even better than his father in the exams, to surpass him in every way, so that his mother's eyes would rest on him alone.
On the day he became top scholar and entered the great hall, the Empress, sobbing as if in a rainstorm, threw her arms around Xie Lin.
"My son, I've searched for you for so long."
Xie Lin stood on the courtyard wall, watching her dash out of the room in a panic. A chilling smile curled his lips.
"Why would Mom leave now that I've earned an official title? I haven't even had a chance to properly repay her yet."
