In her previous life, Shen Mo was a workaholic who died at her desk the day before her promotion and raise. She transmigrated into the pampered-but-unloved second daughter of a wealthy family.
Shen Mo: Why work so hard? She's going to lie flat!
With a pretty face fit for a child model, Shen Mo ate well, played hard, and enjoyed herself all the way through university. She happily accepted her parents' matchmaking arrangement, ready to move somewhere new and continue lazing around.
But the night before her blind date, her beloved older sister woke up with a high fever and threw a fit, demanding to break off her engagement. The whole family agreed that Shen Mo should take her place as the bride.
At the mention of the name of the powerful head of a top-tier wealthy family, Shen Mo finally remembered that she had transmigrated into a book.
She had become the evil stepmother of the genius male lead, destined to fall in love with his father, mistreat the boy when he was little, and meet a tragic end.
Shen Mo thought of her eight-figure monthly allowance and the carefree days of being ignored after marriage.
Wasn't this exactly the life of a lazy fish she'd dreamed of?
She didn't need lots and lots of love, just lots and lots of money ^0^

After the wedding, Shen Mo got her wish and moved into a free, castle-like mansion. Just as the novel had said, the tycoon loved work and hated coming home. The genius male lead was five and a half, withdrawn and quiet, with a housekeeper assigned to take care of everything for him.
Shen Mo enjoyed a leisurely, carefree month before she suddenly received a notice that she had to film a parenting reality show.
Shen Mo: ...?
She wasn't only the evil stepmother in a school-life novel. She was also the contrast-character supporting female lead in another rich-family romance novel!!!
Since she was already here, she might as well keep lazing around~

When the highly anticipated stepmother reality show aired, viewers across the internet were surprised to discover that one mother and son made a striking contrast to everyone else.
The other stepmothers were gentle and virtuous, had loving marriages, and could do ten things at once.
Shen Mo was a useless, pretty vase. Her husband didn't love her, her stepson ignored her, and the whole internet mocked her.
Later, viewers began to notice something was off
The other stepmothers got up early to make breakfast, carefully looked after their in-laws during the day, charmed everyone at society events, and then helped their unruly kids with homework at night until they were driven to tears.
Shen Mo slept until noon, ate a big meal, then lost ten games in a row. Her stepson, unable to watch any longer, easily carried her to victory.
Viewers: ...Is this right?
This is not right!!!
Shen Mo noticed that her genius stepson was getting clingier by the day, while the cold, distant tycoon had also started coming home more often. The two of them were quietly taking over her lazy-fish time.
Shen Mo: ...You're both seriously OOC!!!

Shen Miao was the family's cherished eldest daughter. Since childhood, she had been engaged to a top-tier wealthy family, and no one dared let her suffer.
One night, she dreamed she married the ruthless tycoon, lived alone in an empty house, was looked down on by her stepson, and had a painfully miserable life... while her invisible younger sister married her blind date, and the young couple lived blissfully together, making everyone envious.
After waking up, Shen Miao refused to marry into the Feng family. Instead, she married Shen Mo's blind date.
But just two months after her wedding, Shen Miao had a huge fight with her husband and stormed back to her parents' home. Then she thought of her younger sister's miserable life, forced to endure everything as a stepmother in a wealthy family, and her anger mysteriously faded.
So she opened the livestream of the stepmother reality show, only to see
At a seaside villa at sunset, Shen Mo was curled up on a soft sofa, watching a show. The withdrawn stepson who had once looked down on everyone in her memory proactively brought out his treasured snacks to share, then quietly sat by her side reading...
And the cold, distant tycoon came home with the setting sun, gently draped a blanket over the two sleeping figures, then crouched down and tenderly brushed the sea-tousled hair from Shen Mo's face.

Shen Miao's face suddenly darkened.

Feng Yuesheng was cold and unfeeling by nature, yet somehow fell for a certain slow-witted woman. His heart, dormant for years, completely surrendered. It was just like an old house catching fire: once it started, there was no stopping it.
* First marry, then fall in love; lazy, stunning beauty vs. steady, restrained tycoon
* The male and female leads are each other's first and only partners; the genius stepson isn't the male lead's biological child; ten-year age gap
Theme: Love life, and be a happy lazy fish
