When Jiang Yi wakes up, she has become the cannon-fodder mother in a period novel, who gives birth to a genius son but is eventually kicked out by the male lead.
The System informs her that maxing out her child-rearing affinity score will earn her a huge divorce settlement.
On her first day of doing tasks, her three-year-old son is cold and distant, while her aloof husband treats her with contempt and pressures her to divorce him.
The original owner would have broken down and tried to win him back, but Jiang Yi's eyes light up instead:
Divorce? Absolutely! Once the settlement is in hand, she'll make a stylish exit!
Her cold husband warns her not to go near their son, and her strict mother-in-law even throws a punishing summer study schedule at her.
Jiang Yi watches the little one clutching his pencil, too afraid to cry, so quiet and well-behaved it breaks her heart.
She grits her teeth and signs them up for a parent-child variety show on TV, then takes the little one and leaves without a second thought!
Gu Hanzhou's calls: ignored.
Her mother-in-law's calls: ignored.
No one gets to bully her poor little sweetheart anymore!
From then on, she raises her child rebelliously: when the male lead forbids playtime, she takes him out for even more fun; when her mother-in-law demands studying, she lets him lie flat instead.
The timid little sweetheart who once didn't dare ask for affection gradually turns into a soft, cuddly little bundle, clinging to her and sweetly calling her "Mom," following her everywhere and being so cute it's criminal.
At last, the affinity score is full!
Jiang Yi packs her bags, ready to leave with her huge divorce settlement.
But the usually aloof, abstinent man follows close behind, carrying their teary-eyed son. His voice is low and plaintive: "...Honey, did you forget something?"
Jiang Yi turns around, puzzled.
"You don't want Zhiyan and me anymore?"
??? Weren't you the one who asked for a divorce in the first place?
